Chapter 177

When the real James Ryan appeared, the film had gone through more than half of the time. According to Kenneth Turan's inference, according to Hollywood's production rules and Duke Rosenberg's habits, there must be a big battle. Realize the final salvation.

But he clearly felt that Ryan was actually not important. Duke Rosenberg's purpose was very clear-it didn't matter who to save, what was important was the action of saving people.

At the same time, as a senior film critic and media practitioner, Kenneth Turan is keenly aware that this film will inevitably trigger a wave of discussion after it is released, even if it is so in line with American values!

Duke Rosenberg never seems to ignore the market? Kenneth Turan has a helpless smile on his mouth. Controversy and agitation can often kill or detonate a movie. What about "Saving Private Ryan"?

The climax of the battle is about to come, the applause in the theater has already fallen, Cunites' eyes widened, looking straight at the screen, his companions next to him, and even all the audience around him, are not the case.

Many of these audiences who came to the premiere came to the director, and they understood Duke's habits. Since the beginning of the battle was so cruel and so cruel that the soul trembles, then the ending climax will bring What kind of movie watching experience?

〗↙,

"There is still a moment of silence before the war."

Hearing Irene's words, Anna laughed, and whispered in her ear, "Director Rosenberg is using good memories to show the glory of humanity."

In Anna's eyes, revealing the emotional world of people through the fate of the battlefield is Duke's most important progress and success in this film. In order to express the perfection of human nature and fear of war, he deliberately preceded the second war in the film. Arranged for a moment of tranquility, in which people can experience the brilliance of humanity and the destruction of humanity by war.

In this paragraph. The camera again showed Captain Miller's shaking hands and a mid-range shot of his upper body. Anna saw the squad's top commander's worries and hopelessness about fate before the battle. When he sat down and talked about his family with Ryan, he Tell Ryan to remember the specific things with the family instead of their voices and smiles.

Duke cleverly used a set of front and back shots here. They were basically close-ups of the faces of the two. What Anna saw in their expressions was helpless and bitter. The young director seemed to want to pass on the good life of thousands of ordinary American soldiers before the war to everyone through Ryan's mouth, but the war took away all of this.

In this moment of tranquility, there was no quarrel, no doubt. Although they didn't know what the fate would eventually be, they all greeted the fierce battle with their comrades with fond memories of the past.

The director puts the tranquility of this moment with the fierce battle that will inevitably occur later, with very obvious intentions, just to highlight the preciousness of this peaceful life and the cruelty of war. Show the affirmation of the value of life.

Compared to Anna, Kenneth Turan on the other side has a different feeling.

In his opinion, directors who truly have a sense of justice and responsibility will not only be obsessed with the blood and excitement of war. On the contrary, they should pay more attention to the human relationship, human nature, and the precious mental state that people reflect in the war. Mankind recognizes the hatefulness of war and the preciousness of peace, so that every viewer can cherish peace from the heart. Stay away from war.

Duke Rosenberg finally controlled his inner desire for destruction, using the destruction of war to express an extremely profound theme.

Want to continue to deepen this theme. At the same time, let the audience remember it and become a force to move people's hearts. What is needed next?

That is sacrifice, and there is no better way than sacrifice!

Without thinking about it, Kenneth Turan could also guess that most of the members of the squad would inevitably fall on this bridgehead position.

Before the war. Everyone has a good life. Everyone has something that they feel sentimental and reluctant to give up when they are hit by a bullet. What is it? Maybe in the United States, it's family memories, but in other places it's something else. In short, there are things that are worth cherishing and nostalgic for, but far away.

The role of war here is only to destroy everything that can be destroyed, and the combatants are to take back what they can regain.

To save Ryan, who represents the good, sacrifices are inevitable. The members of the squad die one after another until Captain Miller...

After being shot, Captain Miller sat down on the bridge and shot the Tiger tank weakly with a small pistol. In the end, the rescued p-51 plane rushed to blow up the tank. Hope was never shattered. The team sacrificed six people to save it. Beautiful, after all, they can live bravely with their memories and wishes.

"Don't let everyone down," Miller said before he died, "Ryan, stay alive..."

Sobbing sounded in the theater. Although a person's voice is not too loud, there are too many people crying.

Irene pinched her sore nose, "I know this is sensational, why do I still want to cry?"

"Because the director used a whole film to pave the way for sacrifice and sentimentality at this moment." Anna had to calm down relatively, "Captain Miller is a hero."

Yes, Captain Miller is a hero, a typical civilian American hero, and the sacrifice of such a hero is the most contagious.

Cunites gently wiped his eyes with the back of his hand. Alan and Jones next to him were doing similar movements. The eyes of Owen on the other side were flashing water, and finally it slowly flowed down. He seemed to be still immersed in the movie. In, there is no meaning to wipe at all.

"My dear Mrs. Ryan, I am very happy to inform you that your son James Ryan is unscathed. At this time, he is on his way back home from the European battlefield. The report from the front said that James was brave. And he performed his duties firmly, even though he learned that his family had suffered misfortune in this great war to overthrow dictatorship and oppression. I am very happy to join the Secretary of War, all officers and soldiers of the U.S. Army and American citizens in wishing you good health And live a happy life with James around him. Only the safe return of your beloved son can make up for your heartache..."

Captain Miller died, and Admiral Marshall's voice sounded as an off-screen sound. It was the U.S. government reading a congratulatory letter to Ryan's mother. On the battlefield where the smoke had not yet dissipated, the aerial camera slowly moved, and the collapsed clock tower was sunken. Bomb craters, broken bridges and corpses, the expressions of everyone who acted were calm and serene. They were alive and they were listening. The language of the military praising Ryan was so beautiful, and it was also the language of praising all sergeants. All the people who are alive include Urban, and those who have died and are more fearless.

"Once war and life are placed on both sides of the same scale, then the word'destruction' is doomed to have a heavy weight."

Kenneth Turan heard the voice of Todd McCarthy who seemed to judge the film, "True war films never shy away from the trauma that humans leave for themselves, and behind the haze of war, it also reflects the brilliant light of human nature."

Todd McCarthy turned his head to look at Kenneth Turan, "The film is wonderful, Duke Rosenberg is beyond our imagination, he surpassed himself! I can praise him here, and only praise here. he!"

Seeing the old friend's helpless smile, Todd McCarthy turned his head back and said nothing more. This film is so correct, so correct that you must be cautious if you want to attack Duke Rosenberg!

If you criticize the subject of the film, it's just asking yourself trouble, and criticizing other aspects is painless and painless. Todd McCarthy suddenly feels like there is nowhere to put his mouth. He just thought for a few seconds and came up with the best response. The way-Ignore Duke Rosenberg's new movie and treat it as if it never existed.

Is salvation worth it?

It seems that the director has never given a clear answer. When the scene returns to the old James Ryan, he finally has an explanation.

Ryan was rescued and returned to his hometown. After a lifetime of peace, the old man came to the grave of his comrades-in-arms to cherish his memory, and asked his wife with tears, is he one? His wife held his face to affirm that he was, and the old face was a little relieved.

"I lived well, am I a good person?"

The video immediately gave the answer, and his wife replied, "You are a good person!"

The white-haired man gave a military salute to Colonel Miller's graveyard, the floating Stars and Stripes reappeared, and the movie came to a close...

The subtitles fell slowly, and there was silence in the theater. Tina Fei, who was sitting next to Duke, couldn't help but look back. Judging from the applause of the audience during the film screening, shouldn't it be this attitude now? Don't the audience approve of this film?

Her eyes fell on the employer's face again, Duke looked calm and sat there calmly, the dark eyes seemed to be full of confidence?

If she is allowed to judge, it must be a good movie, or even a classic in a war movie. The young director around him combines his best visual effects with ideological connotations that he did not possess before. Even if there are a lot of sensational scenes, it still seems natural and smooth and not artificial.

The theater was silent for about five seconds, and then the applause erupted like thunder in summer. From the ordinary audience in the last row, everyone stood up!

They didn't stand up because of exit! Not because of relaxation! But to express congratulations and respect to the director and the film! Vent their inner turmoil because of the film!

"He is always successful!"

Tom Hanks stood up and walked over here on his own initiative. Before Duke reached out his hand, he gave a solid hug, "Duke, I am honored for this cooperation! You gave me a classic character and A classic movie!"

More and more people came over and sent congratulations!

The applause was thunderous, and there was no tendency to stop. The audience kept standing and applauding. It seemed that only this way could they express their love for this film and the young director!

The premiere is over. Whether the style of the film can be recognized or not, it must be tested by the market! (To be continued...)
