Chapter 313： Saving Private Ryan II

After several twists and turns, Captain Miller learned of the whereabouts of James Ryan from a soldier with a wounded ear. The second-class soldier was following a colonel, guarding a key bridge in a small town.

Their uncle finally appeared! To use the ridicule of several members of the team.

The audience breathed a sigh of relief. Now that they know Ryan's whereabouts, they can find him and send him home. The team may complete the task smoothly.

However, the plot of the movie is always full of twists and turns. The squad encountered a German radar station. There were a lot of American corpses lying nearby. There seemed to be German machine guns on defense.

Another minor controversy emerged.

Most members of the squad suggested to take a detour and avoid the German fortifications and machine guns, but Captain Miller didn't think so.

"The Air Force will not make a special trip to deal with a machine gun"

"This is not our task!" This is the opinion of many people. "Our goal is not here."

"We can go around, do we have to watch the troops behind you fall?" Responsibility is sometimes necessary. "Our goal is to win this war."

Urban stayed behind. Through the scope, he looked at the charging comrades in fear and the battlefield where the lives were being harvested. You can say that he is cowardly and cowardly, or you can say that this is the reaction of a normal person. Civilian soldiers who have been on the battlefield, if they need him to appear, as in some movies, they will become fearless fighters. That is just a falsehood from reality.

Captain Miller and others won the battle, but paid the price. Military doctor Wade was shot and wounded. This soldier who was calm and calm on the battlefield tried his best to save the lives of his companions, but could not save himself.

"mom……"

"I want to go home..."

This is what he said before his death. There is no rhetoric, only nostalgia for family and relatives. Perhaps Spielberg wants to show people the cruelty of the battlefield in this way...

The German soldier captured alive by the squad. Become a target for venting. Many people insisted on killing the captive to avenge the dead Wade.

The complex side of human nature. Undoubtedly shown here.

In order to survive, the German soldier kept praising the Americans and even cursed, ‘Damn Hitler! ’

Finally, Captain Miller released the German soldier. The squad broke out in a fierce quarrel over the task of saving Ryan again, but did not draw any conclusions, and only waited for the end of the movie to let the audience understand or judge by themselves.

There are a hundred Hamlets in a hundred people's hearts, and each audience has their own understanding of the movie in their hearts.

The movie is slowly approaching the end, and until this time, the protagonist in the movie's name has not revealed even one side.

To know. Many people, especially those young people, came here to watch Ryan's performance, but he has been reluctant to show his true face.

"The movie is very exciting. But is Ryan's scenes too small? It's been an hour and a half now, why hasn't he appeared yet?" Many audience members made a low voice in private.

The name James Ryan is the main line of the movie, and this role is also the top priority. Spielberg will certainly not shorten his scene too much, so after an encounter with a German armored vehicle, this one is about to be saved. The soldier, the uncle of this small team, finally appeared on the big screen.

And a Ryan who was completely different from Frank Jr. and Jack Dawson also appeared in front of everyone.

His short hair is stubbornly erect like weeds, and under his thin body, he has the persistence of a soldier.

After hearing the coming of Captain Miller and his party, Ryan did not agree to leave immediately. He refused to leave his guard position, and refused to abandon his fellow siblings.

This is one of the roles that Ryan has played the least since he started in the movie, but he used his superb acting skills to tell those certain people that even if he didn't rely on the handsome face in their mouths, he could still play any role well.

Hearing the silent tears that fell when all my brothers died in battle, the stubbornness of refusing to leave the position, the guilt of the fallen members of the squad, the persistence of their combat duties, and the silent silence sitting behind the bunker...

In this explosive long shot, the mood of the character is constantly changing. Ryan grasped this very well. Many people ignored the actor in the dirt and dirty military uniform and appeared on the screen. People who have become the most common U.S. soldier.

If the role of Ryan, after Captain Miller finds him, just like the first Ryan he found, he can't wait to return to the United States, it will definitely disappoint the audience.

After all, how can the soldiers who the squad paid a heavy price to save are unresponsible soldiers?

As a result, the movie gave this role more, and he is also the most common soldier image in the US military team, of course, in the minds of all Americans.

Because Ryan insisted on guarding the position, Captain Miller and his party finally decided to fight with them, and the movie screen also used lines and unique scenes to render the brotherhood between the soldiers.

As the person with the highest rank and the most experienced combat experience, Captain Miller became the combat commander. He led the members of the squad and the 101st Airborne Division to make some simple weapons with the existing equipment. Fight against the powerful Tiger tanks of the German army.

"What should I do?" This was a question from Ryan.

"The only thing you have to do is follow me." Captain Miller has not forgotten his mission.

The battle was about to start. The soldiers gathered in one place, enjoying the last peace before the battle. Someone found the record player and gathered to listen to the music. Private Ryan sat in the ruins and talked about his past experience with Captain Miller.

The faint sunlight fell on the dilapidated town, and the soldiers gathered together to chat freely, and laughter and laughter kept appearing, showing a different style.

The leisure on the battlefield is extravagant. Soon the sniper Jackson on guard came news of the German attack, and the final battle was about to break out.

Armored vehicles, tiger tanks and infantry. This is the German combination that Miller and Ryan and others face. Spielberg still adopts the methods of portable photography and realistic shooting here, but it is different from the cruel beach landing battle at the beginning. , The Jewish old man obviously wanted to give this battle more meaning.

Friendship, facing the upcoming shelling of the tank, the first thing Sniper Jackson did was to remind his companions to be careful.

Fear and cowardice, the companions upstairs were fighting life and death, Urbanser lay down on the stairs, not daring to lend a helping hand.

Complicated, the German prisoners released by Captain Miller killed him and Merissy.

Fearless, with several bullets in his body, the tall sergeant said it was just blown by the wind.

For the redemption, the squad paid a painful price and saved the life of private Ryan. Urban eventually killed the German soldier.

Hopefully, Captain Miller, who was seriously injured, leaned on the bridge and shot the crushed Tiger tank weakly with his pistol. When the tank exploded, the P51 anti-tank plane passed through the sky. The support of the U.S. Army Coming from the rear one after another, hope has never been extinct.

However, the theme of the movie, is it worth eight to save one? Spielberg did not give a clear answer. The end of the movie just used an alternative way to show James Ryan, should he be saved?

"That's a p51 anti-tank bomber."

"Our guardian angel." Captain Miller was already at the end of his life. He trembling his hands, attached to Ryan's ear, as if using the last force of his life, "James, don't let down... Don't let everyone down."

This is the last word in his life, and it is also a word that James Ryan has in mind.

This former teacher, because of the war, has become a persevering soldier. He expounded the meaning of the military's responsibility at the cost of his life. The last look in his dying eyes made people see hope in sadness.

The eight-person team paid six lives in exchange for James Ryan's new life. Whether it is worth it or not, I believe that every audience will have a different understanding in their hearts.

The film came to the end, and the camera cut back to the war cemetery. The old James Ryan squatted in front of Captain Miller’s grave, whispering his experience over the years, saying that he had been trying his best to live his life and he didn’t want to let them down... ………

"Tell me that I haven't lived in vain in my life." He stared at his wife extremely seriously.

"what?"

"Tell me, I'm a good person." He said again.

"You're a good man!"

James Ryan stood before the white cross and paid a standard American military salute.

Like all Spielberg movies The old Jewish man will not hesitate at all when it is time to sensationalize, but compared to "Schindler's List", which is a little deliberately sensational at the end, "Saving Soldiers" Ryan is much more natural.

At the end of the film, he didn't even use overly excited emotions and words. Those simple dialogues have their own power to move people's hearts. Many viewers unconsciously felt their eyes moist.

Undoubtedly, this is an excellent movie. It combines the visual effects and profound themes almost perfectly. Together with the excellent performances provided by Tom Hanks and Ryan, it is enough to make "Saving Private Rui "En" has become one of the most attractive works this year.

Of course, the humanistic spirit and the paradox will definitely become the focus of later disputes.

With the warm applause, Ryan slowly clapped his palms and stood up. Together with other members of the crew, the congratulations from people around the recipients, anti-Nazis, anti-fascism, and the humanistic spirit reflected in the movie, in mainstream Western society, that is The most basic political correctness, apart from that kind of second-hand director, who would support the Nazis at this time?

As for the themes of the movie, Ryan doesn't care much, nor does it make unnecessary thinking. For movies born under the Hollywood production model, discussing these has no meaning. ()
