I am Liu Xingxing, telling the story of our people themselves.
Today brings you the war epic blockbuster "Saving Private Ryan".
August 15 is Victory Day in World War II, look at today's relatively peaceful world, think of the heroic ancestors who fought for freedom, the mood can't help but become heavy.
Looking back on the past, I wish for world peace.
Since the beginning of cinema, war films have been an enduring and classic film genre.
Which war movie is the number one war movie in your mind?
Although there are a thousand Hamlets in a thousand hearts, there is a Tom Hanks in everyone's heart.
That's right, the world's greatest war film in human cinema is "Saving Private Ryan" starring Tom Hanks.
"Saving Private Ryan" mainly tells the story of the 1944 Allied landings in Normandy, an ordinary American family Ryan family of four sons who fought heroically on the front line, except for the youngest son of the US ace 101 Airborne Division, James Ryan, who is still missing, the other three sons have been killed in the world within two weeks.
After the U.S. Army Chief of Staff General Marshall learned of this, for humanitarian reasons, the Normandy Front organized an eight-man squad led by Captain Miller, played by Tom Hanks, to find the uncertain second-class soldier James Ryan in the sea of people and the rain of bullets, and completed the mission at the cost of almost all the sacrifices of the squad, ensuring that Ryan finally returned to the rear safely.
"Saving Private Ryan" is a Hollywood blockbuster in the absolute sense of the word.
The film's director is Spielberg, one of the most famous directors of human history, probably not.
The male protagonist of this film, Tom Hanks, won two consecutive Oscars in the 1990s with "The Philadelphia Story" and "Forrest Gump".
Tom Hanks in the nineties, the jianghu is alone, like the sun in the sky.
Private Ryan, who was saved by everyone, played matt Damon, was unknown at the time and had just been nominated for an Oscar for his classic inspirational film "Mindcatcher". After being rescued by Tom Hanks, Matt Damon's star is open, and he gradually grows into a mainstay of Hollywood, and has always played the role of being rescued, known as "the man saved by the world".
The most classic bridge section of "Saving Private Ryan" is that the beginning of the movie uses nearly half an hour to realistically restore the spectacular and tragic scene of the Allied Landing in Normandy that year, and the audience seems to be on the scene and shock the soul.
But what impressed me most was that at the end of the film, Captain Miller, who had been shot to the ground, was not afraid to face the German "Tiger" tank slowly approaching him, and pulled out his pistol and shot at the German tank bullet after bullet.
Finally, the German tank was blown up by Captain Miller's pistol.
Of course, we all know that pistols can't explode tanks, that is, the Allied P-51 Mustang anti-tank fighter-bombers came to support.
Captain Miller said it was their guardian angel.
Looking back now, why wasn't Captain Miller our guardian angel?
The dying Captain Miller, the light in his eyes finally brought "hope"!
The success of a thing cannot be separated from the time and place and people.
The year 1944, in which the story of Saving Private Ryan takes place, was an important turning point in World War II.
The year 1998 of the release of "Saving Private Ryan" was also a turning point in human history.
During this period, human civilization ushered in the peak of peace and development after the victory of the Cold War, and then it was the prosperity and decline that continues to this day...
The emergence of "Saving Private Ryan" has left an eternal footnote to history.
Classic movies always have endless topics to talk about, and to this day I can still get a new sense of life from many of the details of the old film "Saving Private Ryan".
I've always thought that movies are elegant. "Saving Private Ryan" is the kind of century film suitable for normal audiences with certain life experience, cultural accomplishment and aesthetic ability who are mature in mind to experience and appreciate with their souls.
Stars When I was young and vigorous, I used to like to interpret war movies from the perspective of the grand emptiness of the ideology of home and country feelings, and as the hearts of the stars grow with age, I am now more concerned about the human care reflected in the movies.
Spielberg, the film's director, once said that all war movies are anti-war movies.
We must have met some people in our lives who often talk about war as a joke, and they must not understand that the Great Wall is great, but you are the one who built the Great Wall.
Don't forget history, don't lose humanity.
Saving Private Ryan has an ultimate proposition about "whether it's worth saving one person with the lives of eight people."
I think that only by understanding the answer to this question can we understand this immortal film epic, understand the warrior heroes who sacrificed their lives to defend freedom, and truly become an awakened person.
Hats off to all the heroes who guard human freedom!
Focus on me not getting lost, we'll see you next time.
A good literati is me, and I am Liu Xingxing!
