拯救大兵瑞恩英文观后感【1】
At this point, I don't know what I'd say about Saving Private Ryan, even if I hadn't liked it.
Undoubtedly this year's hype leader among 'quality' pictures, Ryan hasn't garnered a word of bad buzz aside from the stern and dire warnings about its overwhelming violence content.
It's no lie: Ryan may be one of the goriest films ever made - it will certainly be the goriest to ever win an Oscar (which will come in droves: I predict seven).
An excellent companion piece to Schindler's List, Spielberg has obviously poured his heart into this movie.
The well-known story of a small group's search for James Ryan (Damon), whose three brothers were killed nearly simultaneously, is as simple and as powerful as they come.
The battle scenes, which encompass probably 100 minutes of the circa 160-minute running time, are epic in proportion.
The idle moments in between are also worth your attention,
although, in the end and in retrospect, they can seem a bit pithy on occasion,especially the bookend scenes of the elderly Ryan returning to Normandy to pay his respects.
For Speilberg, there's no such thing as going too far to get you to cry.
Still, Ryan's easily a top contender for best film of the year, thanks to the gut-wrenching realism that pervades every scene of the picture.
I only hope Spielberg can come to grips with the remnants of Jurassic Park that still must linger in his blood, making him take the easy-cheesy way out (eg.
the planes from above that save the day) when working through the actual story gets a bit too hairy.
拯救大兵瑞恩英文观后感【2】
Cranky's dad explained the genesis of what is called the Sullivan Law, enacted after World War II, after a mother of four sons received word, on the same day, that each of her kidlets had been Killed In Action.
The law that was passed, simply, gave an instant out to any sole surviving son.
That approximates enough background to set up Saving Private Ryan, by director Steven Spielberg, in which 8 soldiers attempt to find a sole survivor and send him home .
That's what Cranky wrote before the lights went down on Steven Spielberg's Saving Private Ryan.
170 minutes later, your humble servant was doubled over in a fetal position, a shaking, quivering, sobbing hunk of meat.
Cranky tried to write down what he was feeling, but he couldn't hold a pen in his hands.
If ever there was a war movie whose net effect is to make you sick to your stomach of war, Saving Private Ryan is it.
Don't misread the sentence.
It's a good thing.
Steven Spielberg says he didn't want his movie to look like "a technicolor extravaganza about World War II.
" It doesn't.
Extensive use of hand held cameras ostensibly makes the audience one of the infantry troops who battle beside Captain John Miller (Tom Hanks).
Us old folk remember those rah rah John Wayne slash Gary Cooper WWII flicks (both black & white and technicolor) filled with slogans like "War is Hell" and the hard fought battle won.
Frankly, Hell would be a vacation compared to what happens to the troops that inhabit Saving Private Ryan.
The first half hour sequence is the D-Day slaughter at Omaha Beach.
That's right.
Slaughter.
If I remember the other press stories I've read, 5000 men hit the beach at Omaha.
400 survived unscathed.
That's a slaughter.
Cranky apologizes to y'all right up front, 'cuz I'm going to break my pledge to never write like a "film student" on this one.
I don't see any way around it.
The good news is that Saving Private Ryan is an awesome piece of film making.
The bad news is the problem of telling you readers how this awesome piece is going to rip their guts to pieces.
How the effect of such shredding may keep you the heck away from the movie theater.
It shouldn't, but this may be one of the few times that the intent of a film is so completely fulfilled that it keeps audiences away.
Since Cranky was once a soundman, let's begin with the work of Sound Designer Gary Rydstrom.
(Remember, you're a troop now.)
As your POV panics and jumps over the side of the Higgins Landing Craft at Omaha Beach, all sound vanishes because you are underwater.
When what you hear is muted and muffled, there's a strange kind of beauty in the visual of a machine gun bullet displacing air through water as it hits the soldier next to you.
The blood mushrooms, cloudlike, out of his chest you break surface for air.
Bodies litter the beach.
The noise is so intense you can't hear battle orders you see coming from the moving lips of your captain.
A soldier next to you makes the mistake of taking off his helmet, to see where the bullet ricocheted off of it.
Bodies pop open like overripe melons, and this is just the beginning.
When your ears have cleared the water, the explosions all around you make you deaf.
By the end of the flick, there will be a ringing in your ears -- all mixed into the soundtrack, which is exceptional.
