Chapter 312： Saving Private Ryan One

The first twenty minutes of footage almost restored the real World War II battlefield, **** and cruel, suffocating, even though everyone knows, Stephen? Spielberg's war epic masterpiece is definitely not just that simple to say, and the film festival organizing committee is willing to choose this film as the opening film, there is definitely their reason.

However, such a scene shocked them, especially those veterans who had participated in World War II. At this moment, it seemed as if they had returned to the battlefield where they had been sprinkled with blood, and the long-lost excitement returned to them.

"This is the most realistic war movie I have ever seen." This is the most muttered sentence of veterans.

Even those guys who come from Europe and call themselves art can not fault too many faults at this time. What's more, this is a movie to commemorate the victory of the Anti-Fascist War!

What surprised them most was that Spielberg used a portable camera to shoot here. From Captain Miller's first perspective, what the protagonist saw and heard reflected the cruelty of the battlefield.

The moment the landing craft door opened was the beginning of purgatory on earth, bullets came like rain, and brilliant blood bloomed on the bodies of allied soldiers.

The cannonball flew across, the landing craft was shot and burst into flames, devouring the lives of the devourers.

The soldiers hurriedly jumped off the landing craft and fell into the sea. The heavy equipment they carried dragged them to the bottom of the sea and put them to sleep here.

The German Hitler chainsaw spit out fire, whether it was in the sea or the Allied soldiers on the shore, it was reaped mercilessly.

Looking for a military doctor with his broken hand, holding his intestines already flowing out of his belly and shouting'Mother', when he wanted to save someone, his comrades were refilled, hiding in the crater shivering in fear, took off the m1 helmet and looked at The bullet marks on it were still headshot by the bullet when I was lucky.

Blood flies, corpses all over the field, this is World War II, it is truly frightening...

There is only one way to hide on the beach. They were mercilessly slaughtered by the German army. Combined with their responsibility and courage, countless brave soldiers worked hard and opened the gap. This time they were slaughtered by the Germans, with grenades, rifles, Grenades and flame sprayers are all weapons of killing.

This is also World War II.

If the **** and cruel war scene is a shock to the vision, then using a shaking lens to observe the war with Captain Miller's first perspective is a shock to the soul.

Here, gunshots, roars, and roars are the background music, matched with those near-real shots, touching the hearts of everyone in the theater, and these are just foreshadowing the theme of the movie.

Although many people, especially European art directors, always criticize Spielberg for being too arrogant, everyone understands that, based on his past achievements in film, the old Jewish man cannot just shoot an ordinary war. sheet.

What's more, Ryan's ability to join this movie and play a supporting role that is not particularly important can also explain some problems.

"It's a tragic sight."

"Yes, very tragic."

The movie switches back to Captain Miller’s first perspective again. On the beach of Omaha, the remains of Allied soldiers lie down. The camera slowly sweeps over them, and finally falls on the remains of a soldier, his backpack. It clearly says'Ryan' on it!

This is the soldier to be saved? Why died?

Many viewers have questions, is it Ryan? Is the character played by Jenkins a dead man?

Without waiting for them to question, the camera switched into a spacious office. The crisp sound of typing on the typewriter and the serious faces of the women all showed that they were engaged in extremely important work.

"Dear Mr. Boyd, you should have heard the news of your son's death..." The voice-over clearly expressed their work.

A middle-aged woman discovered some unusual things from several reports of deaths. She took these and found a superior officer...

Sean? Ryan! Peter? Ryan! Daniel? Ryan!

These are the three brothers who died in action. Their youngest brother was a member of the 101st Airborne Division. They have already carried out an airborne somewhere in Normandy. Life or death is unknown!

After this dialogue, the audience gradually understood that it was Ryan that must be saved.

Like all American themed movies, they will not ignore the description of family affection. Soldiers on the battlefield yelled'Mother' at the moment of life and death. Here is the mother who is slumped to the ground after learning of the death of three sons... …

There is still no dialogue here, but the scene created by the movie is enough to make people cry.

James? Ryan is the name of the soldier who needs to be rescued. This incident has alarmed the top of the US military. Some generals think that Ryan has gone deep behind the enemy line, lost contact, and may have been killed in battle. It doesn't make much sense to find him, but General Marshall I do not think so.

He deliberately read the Feng Alabang? A letter from Lincoln to a mother.

"Dear lady, I have learned from the War Archives Department of the Admiral Adjutant in Massachusetts that you are the mother of five soldiers who died gloriously on the battlefield. I feel that my words are weak and cannot comfort your sorrow. I can’t make up for your loss, but I must thank you here. They died to save the country. May God comfort your bereavement and let you miss the beloved far away forever. The sacred glory belongs to you. Because you paid a heavy price! Alabama? Lincoln!"

Everyone fell into silence, including the audience in front of the screen, even though the Admiral Marshall in the picture read the letter in a calm voice, it had a touching power.

"The child is still alive, we will send someone to find him, and then take him away from the battlefield!" The famous general made a decision.

However, to save Ryan, a small team must be sent across the German-controlled area. They are very likely to die as a result. Is it worth saving a small team of people?

The paradox appears for the first time.

Three days after the landing in Omaha, Captain Miller and his brothers became the squad to carry out this order. In order to facilitate the penetration of the German-occupied French area, Captain Miller specially recruited a civilian, Urban, to serve as Their interpreter for a group of people.

Apart from Captain Miller, the most important member of the squad showed his characteristics when he appeared on the field. He was very careful and lacked combat experience. In other words, he was a timid soldier who had just joined the army. There is a natural fear of war.

The group embarked on this uncertain journey. Although they had to obey the order, they thought it was an extremely absurd task. After all, everyone has a mother. Why should they kill themselves for other people's children and mothers?

Among them is Captain Miller, because this is likely to kill his brothers.

The theme of the movie has been completely clear, and those familiar with Hollywood production models should be able to imagine that the fate of this group of people is ill-advised.

Death soon fell on the squad.

In the pouring rain, they came to a small town, found the American troops who had arrived here earlier, and routinely asked James? After Ryan's news, Lianhe rushed to the town square, and met a family of French survivors on the way. The family insisted on letting them take the child away, but Captain Miller refused.

But Capazzo, one of the squad members, took the child in violation of the order. After Captain Miller snatched the child, he was exposed to the sight of the German sniper and then fell to the ground.

He was lying in the heavy rain, with blood and rain washing the ground. German snipers watched the squad closely, making it impossible for them to rescue them immediately. Military doctor Wade wanted to come forward to rescue him, but was dragged by Captain Miller and his colleagues. Came back.

Capazzo seemed to have anticipated his fate. He held up the letter he had written to his father and asked his companion to copy it again and mail it back so that he would not see the blood stains on it.

The squad's sniper Jackson killed the German sniper, but Capazzo did not save it. The squad lost its first member.

Family and affection are never outdated themes in Hollywood movies, whether it is Capazzo’s last letter or the Frenchman’s aftermath, they all show this.

This is also Spielberg's cleverness. He understands that the hot war scene alone cannot win the hearts of the audience, nor can it recover the huge investment of tens of millions of dollars. A more profound theme is a wise choice.

Maybe others don’t know, but Ryan knows that there were several war films with much higher investment in the next few years, such as "Pearl Harbor", "Arrows at the City", "Black Hawk Down", etc., but they all ended dismal, which can explain something. problem.

This is the French area occupied by the German army Unexpected encounters may break out at any time, and the bullets shed from the inconspicuous corner of the ruined corner of the wall are likely to take away a lively life.

But the squad did not stop and continued its mission. After a sudden encounter, they found the lead unit of the 101st Airborne Division. They heard about James? Ryan's exact news.

"Our uncle is here." The members of the squad stared at the running soldier with strange eyes, "He is just a bastard."

However, when Captain Miller asked about it, he found out that Ryan was not Perry, and they were still far from completing their mission.

Although the movie is based on Captain Miller’s perspective, the shaping of other characters is also a classic. Needless to say, Capazzo, who temporarily joined during filming, has distinct styles and distinct characteristics. world.

And Private James? Ryan became a lingering spell for this team. They met many troops of the 101st Airborne Division, but they couldn't find him.

Even if they rummaged through the nameplates of the fallen soldiers. (To be continued.) ()
