Chapter 175 Hope and Expectation
In a large wheat field, a small house stands peacefully in the distance, a small path winds up connecting it with the distance, and a military vehicle enters the painting from the foreground, rolling up smoke and dust along the way, breaking the tranquility of the pastoral.
As the most beautiful scene in the air after the film began, this picture changed the previous grayish white and cold tones, mainly dark yellow, giving people a little warmth. However, the dark clouds that have not yet dissipated in the sky make the whole picture still look colder, which seems to imply that the emotions of the film have not yet changed from the tragic tragedy of the Omaha Beach landing.
Todd McCarthy knew very well that this was the sensationalism that Duke Rosenberg was good at. Everything was to pave the way for the subsequent sensational scenes. However, compared with the two simple and crude sensational scenes of the bathroom encounter in "The Island of Brave" and the presidential speech of "Independence Day", the place seemed more implicit and touching, and even made him, a film critic who hated Duke Rosenberg, unable to feel disgusted.
In this passage, the young director uses close-up shots and close-ups to lead people to watch Ryan's mother, experiencing the serene and great pain of her being broken by the war. Even if there is no line, even if it is simply sitting on the ground, it fully feels the grief and sadness in her heart.
At the same time, the use of depth of field lens connects the general who represents the United States and Ryan's mother who represents millions of ordinary families in the United States, making people realize that war destroys not only individuals, but also thousands of ordinary families. How can an elderly mother who loses her son bear such sad news?
The film reveals the beauty of peace and the warmth of home, as if implicitly implies that the United States of America is protected by these many families, and the country should protect the integrity and happiness of the family.
Duke Rosenberg not only showed the tragic front line of the war, but also showed the grief behind the war vividly through the speechlessness of an elderly mother, which gave people a great spiritual shock!
“He changed so much, and he changed so successfully.”
Todd McCarthy heard Kenneth Tulane's murmur. "I originally thought he was just an excellent commercial director. Even if he could make changes, he had to go through more than ten years of training like Spielberg, but he grew up too fast! It was so fast that it was unacceptable!"
Accompanied by these words, there were sobs coming from the surroundings. It seemed that many viewers were infected by this extremely implicit and sensational method, and they empathized with it just like the mother who lost three sons on the screen.
"I remembered 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!
"It's not just Ryan's mother that the military saved." Erin Lauder seemed a little emotional, "but the hope of all mothers in America."
"Yes, with this scene as a prelude." Anna responded to the movie's words, "The rescue later does not seem so abrupt and controversial."
Duke's narrative techniques have obviously become more sophisticated and mature. He has grown so fast! Anna sighed in her heart.
"...For you have paid a great price for freedom, thank you, Aramadam Lincoln."
On the screen, General Marshall read a letter from Lincoln and said firmly, "The child is still alive. We will send someone to find him and take him away from the battlefield!"
The film completely explains the theme. Compared with the past Hollywood movies, it seems to appear a little late, but the audience is not dissatisfied. The applause sounded without any warning.
First, monotonous applause sounded from the back row, and then spread around, gradually becoming messy. The mess lasted for less than two seconds and then turned into an ocean. The applause surged like a tide!
Someone stood up first in the middle. More people stood up!
The audience stood up! Applause! Applause again!
Erin and Anna had already stood up, flapping their white palms to applaud the film that had just begun, and the director who produced such a masterpiece!
Allen, Jones, Coonitus and Irving next to him all stood up, even if he was hurting his palms! The opening battle shocked them. The subsequent literary drama made them sad, and the video had mobilized all their emotions!
Tom Hanks and Ino Martin also stood up. They knew very well that accepting Duke Rosenberg's audition invitation was definitely an extremely correct decision.
Kenneth Tulan also stood up and applauded the young director. His progress had exceeded his highest estimate!
Todd McCarthy also stood up slowly. Although the other party touched his interests, he would definitely criticize him in the future, but it would not prevent him from applauding and applauding such a wonderful masterpiece at this moment!
As a representative of a black organization, Luther seemed to have forgotten his mission five minutes after the film started, and devoted himself to the plot and atmosphere of the film. He even left tears for the mother just now. At this moment, he seemed to have not seen no black people in the landing war at all, and just slapped his palms hard.
"This is the best war movie!"
Not only the black Luther, Rodriguez on the other side also had this idea, but his mind was stronger than those black people. He knew that he liked this movie and could cheer him up as much as he wanted to cheer for him, but after the film was screened, there would be no less of the same thing he should do.
If you like a movie, you cannot replace the real life! You cannot replace the green US dollar bills!
Even Captain Miller, seven excellent soldiers and a thin translator, became the squad to save Ryan. Is it worth it to save one person at risk of all being killed?
When the audience sits back, most people don’t want to think about such heavy problems. They just feel, experience, and carry out an emotional impact and washing according to the rhythm of the film...
"They won't all die, are they?"
Owen asked Kunits next to him, and Kunits shook his head, "According to Duke's previous style, Captain Miller can play the whole game alone, and even kill Berlin to kill that bastard Hitler. This video is hard to say."
"It's going to die!"
While the team was marching, Jones also participated in this small topic. "The theme of the film is a bit heavy. I think many people will die. When I saw that Urban, he was clumsy and obviously a recruit with no battlefield experience. Such people often kill comrades."
Not long after they finished speaking, the gun rang. The strong Cappazzo, who looked like a cow, looked like Rambo, fell into a pool of blood. There were no strong people on the real battlefield. When Jackson killed the German sniper and the military doctor Wade rushed forward, Cappazzo was killed.
Before we found out the exact news about Ryan, one soldier had been killed. Eight people risked the death of the war at any time and went deep into the heart of the German army 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 continues to move forward. Even if they cannot understand this task, they still have to be completed, and then someone will be killed...
Kenneth Tulane watched it very seriously. The previous opening scene can indeed be described as classics or even epics, but he will not forget that Duke Rosenberg is an explosion monster and a Duke of Destruction. Although the style has been significantly changed, in a strict sense, this is still the hot and sensational scene he is good at.
The narrative rhythm that follows is also an important reflection of the director's skills. A director who can only be sensational and explosive will never become a top master.
"Instruct the dull background and personality of the characters in the team so that they can enrich the character image and storyline, and interspersed with small ** to attract the audience to continue watching!"
With a whisper, Kenneth Tulan nodded. This is a very smart method and the actual effect is also good.
In the first small **, Private Cappazzo was shot by a sniper and unfortunately died; the second ** was only two minutes later, the US military accidentally encountered the German army, causing a close confrontation, and finally ended in the enemy being shot dead.
The two **s are so closely connected, as if they indicate that the spirit that should have rest cannot be relaxed. In the war, it should be so, but blindly emphasizing vigilance and danger can easily make the audience's nerves too tight and make people tired due to constant tension. Therefore, new factors intervene - the first Ryan came on stage with a funny stupidity.
After a little disappointment, the audience will be left with more hope and expectation.
The third ** is coming, with the nameplate as a transition. Another member of the team, the military doctor Wade, died on the way to attack the radar station; then Urban let the Germans go, triggering a fourth ***, who is not very active but more important - Private Lebin threatens to leave, and Sergeant Horvat raises his gun to stop him.
The relationship between this ** character begins to change, not only the superiors and subordinates in the team, but also the differences between the team members and the ultimate conflict - is this action worth it!
Duke Rosenberg was extremely smart and never gave a positive explanation, but let the audience think on their own.
"Yes, the problem itself is indeed worth thinking about!" Anna said to Erin. After all, she is not a student who just graduated. She has been in Hollywood for a long time and still has some understanding of the mentality of most directors and producers in this circle. "But everyone has a different position, and the perspectives of looking at and thinking about problems must be different. This kind of problem is very easy to cause disputes, and disputes will inevitably turn into controversy. Only when there is controversy will it bring enough topics to the media to claim hype and attract more audiences to the theater."
"That's the reason." Erin nodded, "Although I have only met Duke twice, I have learned about him from Aunt Lea. Duke is deeply influenced by Aunt Lea's business-first concept!"
An explosion ended the whisper between the two. After more than half of the film, the protagonist in the title finally appeared!
It seems that I have been waiting for it for too long, and it seems that I am infected by the atmosphere of the film. Warm applause sounded again in the theater. At the same time, the old man inside and outside the film - James Ryan, who is welcomed to appear! (To be continued, please search for Piaotianwen, the novel is better, updated and faster!
