Second, patriots, Douban score 8. 1. This film is an epic war movie, directed by roland emmerich and starring Mel Gibson and Heath Lech. The film tells the story of mel gibson's protagonist who was badly beaten by colonial expansion in the early days, and later became disgusted with the war, until the vigorous American War of Independence hit his doorstep and joined the War of Independence again. It can be said that there are not many movies about the American War of Independence. This is a life story about a period, including ordinary people. Although the war scenes in the film lack the visual shock of computer special effects, the excellent realism can shock the audience.
Third, Letter from Iwo Jima and Douban scored 8.2. The adaptation is a companion piece of Father Flag, still directed by Clint Eastwood, which reshapes the Battle of Iwo Jima from the perspective of Japanese soldiers. The war scenes in the film were also shot in sulfur fields. Three ordinary war movies always give a conclusion about justice, but the director is here. He thinks war is like life. There is neither absolute justice nor absolute evil. For both sides in the war, the dead hero is admirable. But I still want to say that there are no ghosts under the atomic bomb.
Apocalypse Now and Douban scored 8.5. The film was directed by Francis Ford and Coppola, who filmed The Godfather, and starred Martin Simalon and Brando. Set in the Vietnam War, this film tells the story of Captain Wilder, an American intelligence officer, who was ordered to get rid of Colonel Courths. As a war movie with grand opera style, Apocalypse Now not only visually restored the real Vietnam War, but also alienated the war that became the wound of the United States, or restored the original humanity. This film, like a fable, reveals the greatest truth. In fact, no war was conquered, only the war itself won.
