Which war movie shocked you?

I. Apocalypse Now, Apocalypse Now (1979)

On the surface, this movie is about the Vietnam War, but among all the famous war movies, it is probably the noblest one. It can be applied to any war, and even in a broad sense, it is not an exaggeration to express any life experience. Although there are many positive descriptions of war in the film, its essence is to depict the darkness in human nature. No wonder it is not based on the Vietnam War records, but is adapted from the classic work "Black Heart" by the British novelist Conrad.

The film tells the story of a crazy American officer who establishes a kingdom of terror in the jungle of Cambodia. Malone? Brando plays a few officer shots, and his lines and handling are "illusory", as if he were a force, not a person; If you continue to be "illusory", you will become the parents in "Hanging the Red Lantern High".

This film is movie master Coppola's war epic, and it is his reflection on the alienation of human nature caused by war violence. The film skillfully combines realistic themes with symbolic meanings, and launches an almost absurd "on-the-spot record" with a soldier looking for Brando along the river as a clue. The film has the style of "grand opera", exaggerated and gorgeous, with strong expressionism. The bombing scene of Wagner's "Valkyria" theme music on the plane is the concentrated expression of this style, and it is also one of the classic scenes of this film.

In the summer of 200 1, Coppola released a new version of the film, which was nearly an hour longer than the original.

Second, Saving Private Ryan and Saving Private Ryan (1998)

There is a recurring detail in the film that is quite intriguing: the soldiers made a copy of the family letter left by their sacrificed comrades, and did not let his family see the bloody original. The motive of this move is beyond reproach, but when you think about it, don't you think the original is more precious? The traditional World War II film, like this rewritten letter from home, erased blood and bullet holes; And this movie shows us the original work, so we are shocked and trembling, because we have long been used to watching the war through the filter.

Spielberg, the number one contemporary director, not only set up another artistic monument here, but also miraculously integrated the ideological tendency and drama elements that have always been uncoordinated. He didn't belittle the justice of World War II, but he put forward the proposition of personal life value and discussed it directly in the film. He broke away from convention and described the Normandy landing in the opening paragraph, but the characterization did not weaken. His war plays and non-war plays are distinct, but the overall sense of the film is very good. His extraordinary narrative ability provides the audience with the war scene of seeing "trees" and "forests".

This is a work that affirms World War II and advocates anti-war. It is a work that shows extreme violence naked, but praises human nature and peace from the bones.

Iii. Pai (1986)

Great director Oliver? Si Tong, the first film in the Vietnam War trilogy, won four Oscars.

According to the director's personal experience, this film fully and truly reflects the main aspect of the Vietnam War, that is, what the US military did at the front. The main dramatic contradiction in the film stems from the conflict between a humanitarian officer and an irrational officer, but there is no trace of illustrating anti-war thoughts.

This film is impartial in characters and events, thoughts and art, and it is an excellent war film 100%.
