Chapter 313: Saving Private Ryan II

After several twists and turns, Captain Miller learned of the whereabouts of James Ryan from a soldier with an ear injury. The second-class soldier was following a colonel to guard a key bridge in a small town.

Their uncle finally appeared! In the words of a few members of the team jokingly.

The audience breathed a sigh of relief at this moment. Now that they learned of Ryan's whereabouts, they just need to find him and send him home. The team may successfully complete the mission.

However, the plot of the movie is always full of twists and turns. The team encountered a German radar station, and there were many American corpses lying nearby. There seemed to be German machine guns guarding it.

Another minor controversy arose.

Most of the squad suggested a detour to avoid the German fortifications and machine guns, but Captain Miller didn't see it that way.

The Air Force is not going to come here and deal with a machine gun

This is not our task! This is the view of many people. Our goal is not here.

We can go around, don't we want to watch the troops behind fall? Sometimes responsibility is necessary, Our goal is to win this war.

Urban stayed behind, looking through the scope in horror at the charging comrades and the battlefield where people were harvested. You can say that he is cowardly and cowardly, or that this is the reaction of a normal person. Civilian soldiers who have been on the battlefield, if they turn into fearless fighters when they are needed, as in some movies, it is just a falsehood that is divorced from reality.

Captain Miller and others won the battle, but they paid a price. The military doctor Wade was shot and injured. This soldier who was calm and calm on the battlefield and tried his best to save the lives of his companions was unable to save himself.

Mother……

I want to go home...

These are his words before he died. There is no rhetoric, only nostalgia for family and relatives. Perhaps Spielberg wants to show people the cruelty of the battlefield in this way...

The German soldier captured alive by the squad. Become the target of venting anger. Many people insisted on killing the captive to avenge Wade's death.

The complex side of human nature. Undoubtedly demonstrated here.

In order to survive, the German soldier kept saying things that praised the Americans, and even scolded 'Damn Hitler! '

at last,

Captain Miller let the German soldier go. The squad once again had a fierce quarrel for the task of saving Ryan, but they did not draw any conclusions. They could only wait for the end of the movie to allow the audience to understand or judge for themselves.

One hundred people have one hundred Hamlets in their hearts, and every audience has their own understanding of the movie.

The movie is slowly coming to an end, and until now, the protagonist in the movie name has not shown even one side.

To know. Many people, especially those teenagers, came here just to watch Ryan's performance, but he has been reluctant to show his true face for a long time.

The movie is wonderful. But isn't Ryan's role too small? It's been an hour and a half now, why hasn't he appeared yet? Many viewers murmured in private.

The name James Ryan is the main line of the movie, and this role is also the top priority. Spielberg will certainly not shorten his role too much, so after an encounter with a German armored vehicle, this man is about to be rescued. The big soldier, the uncle of this squad, finally appeared on the big screen.

And a Ryan who is completely different from Frank Jr. and Jack Dawson also appeared in front of everyone.

His short hair stood stubbornly like weeds, and under his thin body, he had the persistence of a soldier.

After hearing the intention of Captain Miller and his party, Ryan did not agree to leave immediately. He refused to leave his guard's position and refused to abandon his brothers and sisters.

This is one of Ryan's roles with the fewest roles since he was in the film, but he used his superb acting skills to tell those certain people that even if they don't rely on the handsome face in their mouths, they can still play any role well.

Hearing the silent tears of my brother when they were all killed in battle, the stubbornness when he refused to leave the position, the guilt for the dead members of the squad, the insistence on the combat responsibilities, and the silent silence behind the bunker...

In this explosive long shot, the character's mood is constantly changing. Ryan has mastered this point so well that many people ignore the actor in the dirt and dirty military uniform, and put him on the screen. people, as a most ordinary American soldiers.

If the character of Ryan, after Captain Miller finds him, can't wait to return to the United States like the first Ryan found, it will definitely disappoint the audience.

After all, how could the soldiers who the squad paid a painful price to save be irresponsible soldiers?

Therefore, the movie gave this character more, and he is also the most common image of a soldier in the U.S. Army, of course, in the minds of all Americans.

Because Ryan insisted on guarding the position, Captain Miller and his party finally decided to fight with them, and the movie screen also used lines and unique scenes to exaggerate the brotherhood between soldiers.

As the person with the highest military rank and the most combat experience, Captain Miller became the combat commander. He led the members of the squad and the people of the 101st Airborne Division to use various existing equipment to make some simple weapons for use. Fight against the mighty German Tiger tanks.

What should I do? This is Ryan's question.

The only thing you have to do is to follow me. Captain Miller has not forgotten his mission until now.

The battle was about to break out. The soldiers gathered in one place, enjoying the last peace before the battle. Some people found a record player and gathered together to listen to music. Private Ryan sat in the ruins and talked about his past experience with Captain Miller.

The dim sunlight fell on the dilapidated town, and the soldiers gathered together to chat happily, and the laughter continued to appear, showing a different kind of style.

Leisure on the battlefield is a luxury, and soon the sentinel sniper Jackson received the news of the German attack, and the final battle was about to break out.

Armored vehicles, Tiger tanks and infantry, this is the combination of the German army faced by Miller, Ryan and others. Spielberg still adopted the method of hand-held photography and realistic shooting here, but it is different from the brutal beach landing battle at the beginning , the Jewish old man obviously wanted to give more meaning to this battle.

Friendship, facing the impending shelling of tanks, the first thing sniper Jackson did was to remind his companions to be careful.

Fearful and cowardly, the companions upstairs were fighting to the death, and Urban lay huddled on the stairs, not daring to lend a helping hand.

Complicated, the German prisoners released by Captain Miller killed him and Merisi.

Fearless, shot in the body several times, the tall sergeant said it was just blown by the wind.

Redemption, the squad paid a terrible price, saving the life of Private Ryan, and Urban finally killed the German soldier.

Hope, Captain Miller, who was seriously injured, was leaning on the bridge and weakly shooting the rolling Tiger tank with his pistol. In the explosion of the tank, the P51 anti-tank plane flew across the sky, and the US support troops Coming from behind one after another, hope has never been extinct.

However, the theme of the movie, is it worth saving one out of eight? Spielberg did not give a clear answer. The end of the movie just used an alternative way to show James Ryan, should he be saved?

That's a p51 anti-tank bomber.

Our guardian angel. Captain Miller was on the verge of dying, and he held his trembling hands in Ryan's ear, as if using the last strength in his life, James, don't let us down...don't let everyone down.

These were the last words in his life, and they were also words that James Ryan kept in his heart.

This former teacher became a resolute soldier because of the war. He expounded the meaning of responsibility for soldiers at the cost of his life. The last look in his eyes when he was dying, but it made people see hope in sadness.

The eight-member team sacrificed six lives in exchange for James Ryan's new life. Whether it is worth it or not, I believe every audience will have a different understanding in their hearts.

The film came to the end, and the camera cut back to the war cemetery. The old James Ryan squatted in front of Captain Miller's grave, whispering about his experiences over the years, saying that he had been trying his best to live his life well, and he didn't want to let them down... ………

Tell me that I haven't lived in vain in my life. He stared at his wife very seriously.

What?

Tell me I'm a good man, he added.

You are a good guy!

James Ryan stood in front of the white cross and performed a standard American military salute.

Like all Spielberg-style movies, the Jewish old man will not hesitate at all when it is time to be sensational, but compared to the slightly deliberate sensationalism at the end of Schindler's List, Saving Private Ryan is more natural a lot of.

At the end of the film, he didn't even use overly excited emotions and words. Those simple dialogues have the power to move people's hearts, and many viewers felt their eyes moist unconsciously.

There is no doubt that this is an extremely good movie. It combines visual effects and profound themes almost perfectly. Together with the excellent performances of Tom Hanks and Ryan, it is enough to make Saving Private Rui En became one of the most attractive works of this year.

Of course, the humanistic spirit and the paradox will definitely become the focus of debate later.

Following the warm applause, Ryan slowly stood up clapping his palms, and together with other members of the crew, received congratulations from the people around him, anti-Nazi and anti-fascism and the humanistic spirit reflected in the film, in mainstream Western society, that is The most basic political correctness, except for that kind of second-rate director, who would support the Nazis at this time?

As for the theme of the movie, Ryan doesn't care much about it, and he won't do unnecessary thinking. For movies born under the Hollywood production model, discussing these is meaningless. ()
