Chapter 176
In a large wheat field, a small house stood peacefully in the distance. A winding road connected it with the distance. A military vehicle entered the painting from the foreground and rolled up the smoke and dust all the way, breaking the tranquility of the countryside.
This picture is the most beautiful scene in the sky since the beginning of the film. It has changed from the gray and white and cold tones before, and it is mainly dark yellow, which brings a little warmth, but the dark clouds in the sky still look cold. The color tone seems to imply that the emotion of the film has not yet been converted from the tragic landing on Omaha Beach.
Todd McCarthy knows very well that this is the sensationalism that Duke Rosenberg is good at. Everything is paving the way for the subsequent sensational scenes, but it encounters the bathroom encounter in "Death Island" and "Independence Day" "Compared between the two simple and crude sensational dramas of the president's speech, this is more subtle and touching, and even a film critic who hates Duke Rosenberg can hardly be disgusted.
In this passage, the young director uses close-up and close-up shots to lead people to watch Ryan's mother, experiencing the peace and pain of her being broken by the war, even if there is no line, even if it is simply sitting on the ground, it is full People can feel the grief and sorrow in her heart.
At the same time, the use of the depth-of-field lens connects the general representing the US military with the tens of thousands of ordinary families representing the United States. The mother of Ting's Ryan is connected together, making people realize that the war destroyed not only individuals, but also tens of thousands. How can an elderly mother who lost a son bear such sad news for thousands of ordinary families?
The film embodies the beauty of peace and the warmth of home. It seems to imply that the United States of America is protected by so many families, and the country should protect the integrity and happiness of families.
Duke Rosenberg not only showed the tragic front line of the war, but also showed the grief behind the war through the speechlessness of an elderly mother, which shocked people's hearts!
"He changed so much, changed so successfully."
Todd McCarthy heard Kenneth Turan's murmur. "Originally I thought he was just an excellent commercial film director. Even if he could make changes, he would have to undergo more than ten years of training like Spielberg, but he has grown too fast! It's almost unacceptable! "
Accompanied by these words are the sobbing sounds from around. It seems that many viewers have been infected by this unusually subtle way of sensation, just like a mother who lost three sons on the screen.
"I think of my mother." Suddenly someone was saying, "She loves me so much, but I haven't visited her for a long time."
Mother, the greatest existence in this world!
"The military is not only saving Ryan's mother." Irene Lauder seemed a little emotional, "but the hope of all mothers in America."
"Yeah, with this scene as a foreshadowing." Anna responded from the perspective of the film, "The rescue afterwards is not so abrupt and controversial."
Duke's narrative methods are obviously more sophisticated and mature, and he has grown so fast! Anna sighed in her heart.
"...Because you have paid a great price for freedom, Arabraham Lincoln."
On the screen, General Marshall read a letter from Lincoln and said firmly, "The kid is still alive, we will send someone to find him, and then take him away from the battlefield!"
The film thoroughly explained the theme, compared to the past Hollywood movies. It seems to appear late, but the audience is not dissatisfied. The applause sounded without warning.
First, monotonous applause sounded from the back row, then spread to the surroundings, and gradually became messy. The mess only lasted less than two seconds, and it turned into an ocean, and the applause was surging like a tide!
Someone stood up first. More people stood up!
Stand up! applaud! Applause again!
Irene and Anna stood up a long time ago, they clapped their white palms to applaud the film that just opened, and applaud the director who produced such a great work!
Allen, Jones, Cunites, and Owen next to them all stood up, even if they clapped their palms without stopping! The opening battle shocked them. The subsequent literary drama made them sad, and the film has mobilized all their emotions!
Tom Hanks and Eno Martin also stood up. They knew very well that accepting Duke Rosenberg's audition invitation was definitely an extremely correct decision.
Kenneth Turan also stood up and applauded the young director. His progress has exceeded his highest estimate!
Todd McCarthy also stood up slowly. Although the other party touched on his interests, he was bound to spur and criticize later, but it did not prevent this moment from applauding for such a wonderful work!
As a representative of a certain black organization, Luther seemed to have forgotten his mission five minutes from the beginning of the film and devoted himself to the plot and atmosphere of the film. He even left tears for the mother just now. As if he hadn't seen that there were no blacks in the landing battle, he just slapped his palms hard.
"This is the best war movie!"
Not only the black Luther, but Rodriguez on the other side also has this idea, but he has a better mind than those blacks. He understands that he likes this movie and he likes it. If you want to cheer for him, you can cheer as much as you want, but the film After the screening, there will be no less things to do.
Like a movie, can't replace real life! Can't replace the green dollar bills!
Including Captain Miller, seven excellent fighters and a thin translator became the squad to save Ryan. Eight people risked all their deaths. Is it worth saving one person?
The audience is seated again, and most people don't want to think about such a heavy problem. They just follow the rhythm of the film to feel, experience, and have an emotional impact and washing...
"Aren't they all dead?"
Owen asked Cunites next to him, and Cunites shook his head, "According to Duke's previous style, Captain Miller can play the whole game alone, and he can even kill Hitler's **** in Berlin. This film is hard to tell. ."
"It must be dead!"
While the squad was marching, Jones also participated in this small topic, "The theme of the film is a bit heavy, I think it will kill a lot of people, seeing that Urban, clumsy, obviously a recruit with no battlefield experience, this Raids often kill their comrades."
It didn't take long for them to finish talking, the gun rang. The strong like a cow, Capazzo who looked like Rambo fell in a pool of blood, there is no strong on the real battlefield, when Jackson After the German sniper was killed, Capazzo was killed when the medic Wade charged up.
I haven't heard the exact news about Ryan. One soldier has already been killed. Eight people risked death at any time and went deep into the German hinterland to save an ordinary soldier for a family. Is it worth it or not?
The film does not clearly explain that the soldiers must perform their duties. Captain Miller leads his team and moves on. Even if they do not understand the task, they still have to complete the task, and then some people die...
Kenneth Turan took it very seriously. The opening scene before can indeed be described as a classic or even an epic, but he will never forget that Duke Rosenberg is an explosive demon and a Duke of Destruction, although the style is Obvious change, but strictly speaking, this is still a hot and sensational scene that he is good at.
The following slightly plain narrative rhythm is also an important manifestation of the director's skills. A director who can only be sensational and explosive will never become a top master.
"Explain the plain background and personality of the characters in the squad, so that the character image and storyline are full, and at the same time interspersed with small climaxes, to attract the audience to continue watching!"
In a whisper, Kenneth Turan nodded. This is a very clever technique, and the actual effect is good.
In the first climax, Pvt. Capazzo was hit by a sniper and was unfortunately killed; in the second climax, only two minutes later, the US army inadvertently encountered the German army, which caused a close confrontation, and finally ended in the enemy's death. .
The two climaxes are so closely connected, it seems to indicate that the spirit that should have been rested cannot be relaxed. It is right to be in a war, but blindly emphasizing vigilance and danger will easily make the audience's nerves too tight, and it is also easy for people to continue Nervous and exhausted, new factors intervened-the first Ryan came on stage with a funny stupidity.
After a little disappointment, the audience is left with more hope and expectation.
The third climax came. With the number of nameplates as the transition, another member of the squad, the military doctor Wade, died on the way to attack the radar station; immediately after Urban released the Germans, the fourth was not strong. But a more important climax-Private Leibin threatened to leave, Sergeant Horvath raised his gun to stop it.
This climax of the relationship between the characters began to change, not only the subordinates in the team, but also the differences between the players, and the ultimate contradiction-is this action worth it?
Duke Rosenberg is extremely smart. He never gave a positive account, but let the audience think for themselves.
"Yes, the problem itself is really worth thinking about!" Anna said to Irene. After all, she is not a student when she just graduated. She has been in Hollywood for a long time, and she still knows the mentality of most directors and producers in this circle. "But everyone stands in a different position, and they must have different perspectives on and thinking about problems. Such problems are extremely prone to disputes, and disputes will inevitably become disputes. Only when disputes can bring enough topics to The media claims that the hype can attract more audiences into the theater."
"That's the truth." Irene nodded. "Although I have only met Duke twice, I learned about him from Aunt Leah. Duke is deeply influenced by Aunt Leah's business-first philosophy!"
An explosion ended the whispering between the two, after more than half of the film, the protagonist in the title finally appeared!
It seems that I have been looking forward to it for too long. It seems that I was infected by the atmosphere of the film. There was warm applause in the theater again, and at the same time, the uncle of the film inside and outside-James Ryan is welcome! (
