Friday's Note: Mainstream war films usually keep up with a mainstream and immediately obvious serious theme, such as anti-war, such as freedom, such as national glory, and so on. The good and evil sides of its war will also be clearly distinguished, good people are good people, and bad eggs are bad eggs. However, there are some directors and screenwriters who have found another way in the theme of war films, either letting the characters wander in the political background to do those "outsider" things, or spoofing the war materials to all parties, and making a serious theme into an absurd farce!
The following 10 recommended movies are about escape, some about love and human nature, and some of you don't even know what it is playing, but there is no doubt that these movies are anti-political correctness, and they are more focused on "people".
"Friday Literature and Art" on the film ——
1. "Dr. Strange Love" (1964)
原名：Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb
Country: United States
Director: Stanley Kubrick
The original title of the movie is quite long, and the literal translation is "Dr. Strange Love or: How to Stop Anxiety and Fall in Love with Bombs". The film involves the two sides of the war are the United States and the Soviet Union, the background is like the Cold War, so the director simply from left to right, from top to bottom, from the inside to the outside of the prank a thorough, all the characters, props, events have become joke material. What would it be like to make such a "war film"?
2. Army Field Hospital (1971)
Original name: Mash
Director: Robert Ultraman
The "Recommended Quote" movie is set in the Vietnam War, but you can't seem to find any trace of war smoke in the movie, let alone any positive and negative characters. Some are just a bunch of American soldiers playing girls, playing football, playing family... The story is even a group drama performance, and even the main and secondary are not clear. I can only see the group of "bear children" playing in a pot of porridge, and they are very happy. What's going on here? Or what the hell is going on with the war?
3. The Seven Beauties (1975)
Former name: Pasqualino Settebellezze
Country: Italy
Director: Rina Wittmüller
The protagonist of the "Recommendation" story is a idle little white face in Naples, Italy, who is lustful and rich and good at beating women. What kind of action would such a small oily oil make in the face of war, in the face of Nazi concentration camps, in the face of life threats? Unexpectedly, he intended to seduce a female nazi dinosaur-level officer. Will he be able to succeed in the end?
4. 120 Days of Sodom (1976)
原名:Salò or the 120 days of Sodom
Director: Pierre Paul Pasolini
The "Recommendation" incident takes place on the eve of the complete collapse of the Nazis, and the director does not tell the story from the perspective of war, but focuses on several apocalyptic Nazis, and even shows their fornication, morbidity, and extreme daily life details from a cold and indifferent documentary perspective. It's creepy and even stomach-wrenching to watch. To be honest, Pasolini dared to shoot like this.
5. Apocalypse Now (1979)
Former name: Apocalypse Now
Director: Francis Ford Coppola
"Recommendation" An American soldier is ordered by his superiors to go to the battlefield of Vietnam to investigate a mysterious incident, and then a strange journey begins, and everything is different from the war situation you imagined... To be honest, it is also a miracle to be able to make a war film with fantasy colors and win the Cannes Award that year.
6. "All Metal Shell" (1987)
Formerly known as Full Metal Jacket
Directed by: Stanley Kubrick
The "Recommended Language" movie is divided into two parts, one part takes place in the army school, and the other part takes place in the Vietnamese battlefield, and the two scenes are very different in style, even the protagonists are different. In Kubrick's words: He just wanted to make a "movie about the war itself."
7. Underground (1995)
Original name: Подземље
Country: (former) Yugoslavia
Director: Emile Kusturica
This is an absurd farce, but its time covers almost half a century of Yugoslavia from the founding of the country to the disintegration of the country, so it can be called an epic farce! In the end, where it is noisy and where it is, just look at it.
8. "I Served the King of England" (2006)
原名:I served the King of England
Country: Czech Republic
Director: Iri Menzel
"Recommended Language" Which country on earth loves "sarcasm"? If it was the Elizabethan era, I guess I would have to choose Britain, but now, I must choose "Czech"! Especially their movies. Look at "I Served the King of England", a serious political event of the Nazi occupation of Prague that made them laughable and light-hearted. Of course, behind the humor is the profound reflection on the war.
9. "Color Ring" (2007)
Original name: color, ring
Country: (Co-production)
Director: Ang Lee
"Recommended Words" Sadomasochism under the Civil War, on the one hand, is a political ideal, on the other hand, it is a human instinct, where to go?
10. Doctor Jianghu (2020)
Former name: Charlatan
Director: Agneska Holland
The "recommendation" Doctor's duty is to see a doctor and save people, which is understandable. But in a state of war and political pressure, there is no doctor who does not take a political stand first and then see a doctor to save people. If in this environment, which one still puts medical treatment first, like this one in "Doctor Jianghu", it will seem weird!
