Mainstream American values ​​as the film promotes

A movie I watched by accident. I didn’t like war movies very much at first, but I was attracted by the gimmick of a biopic adapted from a true story. There was nothing commendable about the scenes of U.S. troops stationed in Iraq, and it didn't make much of an impression on me. What left a deep impression on me in the whole film was the values ​​of the mainstream American public from beginning to end, and the film also made a positive identification with these concepts. Especially at the end of the film, the funeral of the protagonist is a bit like Zhou Enlai, the prime minister, sent him off on Chang'an Street. The film has rendered that part very well. The final shot is placed on the protagonist's coffin board, which is full of medals of honor. An ordinary person became a legend, and the country also remembered the honor he gave him, and the citizens did not forget him, sending them along the way. This is what Laomei’s films are so powerful. It draws those of us who don’t share the same cultural values ​​into the film, thinking and scrutinizing it. This is really worth learning from our country’s films. Film is also a medium for cultural transmission.

    It’s really a breeze that Chris Kyle, who is so simple and straightforward in the god country family, appeared among so many lost protagonists in the war, so it doesn’t matter what the director thinks the audience thinks what Michael Moore thinks, this is a good movie, eh . But I think the prototype looks more like Chris Pratt, it doesn’t even need to gain weight!

    This time, Uncle Dongmu was not overly sensational, and the editing was not lacking, but the film’s sentiment was too the main theme. Regardless of feelings aside, the film’s portrayal of the protagonist is actually quite objective, clean and sophisticated. The control of the overall rhythm is also very exciting. 3.5 stars.
