Made in Hollywood

Chapter 175 Hope and Expectation

In the large wheat fields, a small house stands peacefully in the distance, and a winding road connects it with the distance.

This picture is the most beautiful scene in the sky after the film starts. It has changed from the gray and white and cold tones before, mainly dark yellow, which brings a little warmth, but the dark clouds that have not yet dispersed in the sky make the whole picture still look cold. The tone of the film seems to suggest that the emotion of the film has not yet been transferred from the tragic Omaha Beach landing.

Todd McCarthy is well aware that this is Duke Rosenberg's good at sensationalism, and everything is to pave the way for the sensational scenes that follow, but with the bathroom encounter in "Brave Island" and "Independence Day" "Comparison of these two simple and rude sensational scenes of the President's speech, it is more subtle and touching here, even making him, a film critic who hates Duke Rosenberg, find it hard to be disgusted.

In this paragraph, the young director uses close-up and close-up shots to lead people to watch Ryan's mother, and experience the peace and pain of her being broken by the war, even if there is no line, even if it is just a simple slump on the ground, it is enough It made people feel the grief and grief in her heart.

At the same time, the use of the depth of field lens connects the generals representing the U.S. military with Mother Ryan, who represents thousands of ordinary families in the United States, making people realize that the war destroys not only individuals, but also thousands of ordinary people. How can an elderly mother who lost her son bear such sad news?

The film brings out the beauty of peace and the warmth of home, as if to imply that the United States of America is guarded by these many families, and the country should protect the integrity and happiness of families.

Duke Rosenberg not only showed the tragic frontline of the war, but also vividly expressed the grief behind the war through the speechlessness of an elderly mother, giving people a great shock to the soul!

"He changed so much and changed so successfully."

Todd McCarthy heard Kenneth Turan's murmurs. "Originally I thought he was just an excellent commercial film director. Even if he could make changes, he would have to be like Spielberg after more than ten years of tempering, but he has grown too fast! It's hard to accept! "

These words were accompanied by sobbing sounds from the surroundings. It seems that many viewers are infected by this unusually subtle way of sensationalism, like a mother who has lost three sons on screen.

"I think of my mother." Someone suddenly said, "She loves me so much, but I haven't seen her for a long time."

Mother, the greatest existence in this world!

"It wasn't just Ryan's mother that the military saved." Erin Lauder seemed to be somewhat sentimental, "but the hope of all mothers in America."

"Yeah, with this scene as a foreshadowing." Anna responded from a movie perspective. "The subsequent rescue is less abrupt and controversial."

Duke's narrative technique is obviously more sophisticated and mature, and he has grown so fast! Anna sighed in her heart.

"...Because you paid a great price for your freedom, Yours sincerely, Abraham Lincoln."

On the screen, General Marshall finishes reading a letter from Lincoln. He said firmly, "The child is still alive, we will send someone to find him, and then take him away from the battlefield!"

The film explains the theme thoroughly. Compared to the past Hollywood movies, it seems a little late. The audience was not dissatisfied, and the applause sounded without any warning.

First, the monotonous applause sounded from the back row, and then spread around, gradually becoming cluttered. The clutter only lasted for less than two seconds, and it turned into an ocean, and the applause was surging like a tide!

Someone in the middle stood up first, and more people stood up!

Stand up! applaud! Clap again!

Irene and Anna stood up a long time ago. They clapped their white palms to applaud the film that just opened and the director who made such a masterpiece!

Allen, Jones, Kunites, and Owen next to him 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, and they knew very well that accepting Duke Rosenberg's audition invitation was absolutely the right 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 his interests, he was bound to criticize and criticize later, but it did not prevent him from applauding such a wonderful masterpiece at this moment!

As a representative of a certain 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. He just slapped his palm hard as if he didn't see any black people in the landing battle.

"This is the best war movie ever!"

Not only black Luther, Rodriguez on the other side also has this idea, but his mind is stronger than those of black people, he understands that if he likes this movie, he likes it. If you want to cheer for him, you can cheer as much as you want, but the After the screening, there is no less to do the same.

Like a movie, can not replace real life! Can't replace green dollar bills!

Including Captain Miller, seven excellent warriors and a thin translator became the team to save Ryan. Eight people risked all their deaths, is it worth saving one person?

The audience sat down again. Most people didn't want to think about such a heavy issue. They just followed the rhythm of the film to feel, experience, and have an emotional impact and washing...

"They won't all die, will they?"

Owen asked Kunites next to him, Kunites shook his head, "According to Duke's previous style, Captain Miller can play the whole game by himself, and even kill the bastard Hitler in Berlin. It's hard to say this film. ."

"Definitely die!"

Taking advantage of the time when the squad was marching, Jones also participated in this small topic, "The theme of the film is a bit heavy, I think a lot of people will die, seeing that Urban, clumsy, obviously a recruit without battlefield experience, this This kind of people often kills comrades in arms."

It didn't take long for them to finish talking, the gun rang, and that strong man was like a cow, no matter how he looked like Rambo's Capazzo fell in a pool of blood. There are no strong men on the real battlefield. When Jackson After killing the German snipers, Capazzo was killed when the medic Wade rushed up.

I haven't heard the exact news about Ryan yet. One soldier has already been killed. Eight people risked being killed at any time. They went deep into the hinterland of the German army to save an ordinary soldier for a family. Is it worth it?

There is no clear explanation in the film. Soldiers must perform their duties. Captain Miller leads his team and continues to move forward. Even if they can't understand this task, they still have to complete it, and then someone else is killed...

Kenneth Turan took it very seriously. The previous opening scene could indeed be described as classic or even epic, but he would not forget that Duke Rosenberg was an explosive maniac and Duke Nukem. There have been obvious changes, but in a strict sense, this is still the hot and sensational scene he is good at.

The slightly bland narrative rhythm that follows is also an important reflection of the director's skills. A director who can only provocative and explosive will never become a top master.

"Explain the bland background and character of the characters in the squad, so as to enrich the character image and storyline, and at the same time interspersed with small climaxes to attract the audience to continue watching!"

Whispering, Kenneth Turan nodded, it was a very clever trick, and it worked well.

In the first small climax, Private Capazzo was hit by a sniper and unfortunately died; in the second climax only two minutes later, the US military inadvertently encountered the German army, resulting in a close confrontation, which ended in the enemy being killed. .

The two climaxes are so closely connected that it seems to indicate that the spirit that should be rested cannot be relaxed. It is right to be in war, but blindly emphasizing vigilance and danger will easily make the audience's nerves too tense, and it will also easily cause people to suffer from persistent Nervous and exhausted, the new factor steps in - the first Ryan comes on stage with a hilarious silliness.

And after a little disappointment, the audience is left with more hope and expectations.

The third climax came, with the number of nameplates as the transition, another member of the squad, medic Wade, died on the way to attack the radar station; then Urban let the Germans go, which triggered the fourth weak action, But a more important climax - Private Rebin threatened to leave, and Sergeant Horvath stopped him with a gun.

This climax of the relationship between the characters began to change, not only the superiors and subordinates in the squad, but also the differences between the team members, and the ultimate contradiction - is this action worth it!

Duke Rosenberg is extremely smart, never giving a positive account, but letting the audience think for themselves.

"Yes, the question itself is indeed worth thinking about!" Anna said to Irene. After all, she is not a student after graduation. 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's position is different, and the angle of looking at the problem and thinking about it must be different. This kind of problem is very prone to disputes, and disputes will inevitably turn into disputes. Only when there are disputes will there be enough topics. The media claims that the booing of the hype will attract more audiences into the theater.”

"That's the truth." Irene nodded. "Although I have only met Duke twice, I have learned about him from Aunt Leah. Duke is deeply influenced by Aunt Leah's business-first philosophy!"

An explosion ended this whisper between the two, and 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, and it seems that I am infected by the atmosphere of the film. There is warm applause in the theater again. At the same time, the uncle inside and outside the film, James Ryan, is welcome! (To be continued ~^~)
