Chapter 8: How Much Does It Cost to Save Matt Damon?
After the end of the battle at the beginning, the eight-person rescue team walked on the road to find Private Ryan, and officially entered the storyline, and the plot explanation was concise and clear.
The scenery of this countryside is beautiful and peaceful, as if the war is over, which is a relief from the violent rhythm of a bloody landing field.
But the main contradiction in the core drama is highlighted: how to explain the arithmetic problem of eight people saving one?
The audience may have different understandings, and eight people are also discussing this arithmetic problem, and there is no answer, so let the audience understand.
Some of the eight people are enthusiastic, some acquiesce, and some strongly oppose, but the task still has to be completed, and this is the responsibility of a soldier.
The war and the so-called "human nature" make this movie not only restore the original appearance of history, but also make people think about where the rescued soldier is, how "Fang Ling" is, whether he is a good soldier or a coward, everyone doesn't know, and the story unfolds.
But it is impossible for the screenwriters and directors to let the story develop in a straightforward manner, there must be a turning point and a pause, and it is the last word to let the audience sit patiently.
"Earning blood and tears, this is the highest level of making money in Hollywood war films!" Li Fulong thought to himself.
The process of the group's march can be regarded as the end of the opening of the story unit, and at this point, the personality of each member has been reflected.
Captain Miller, who is firm in ethics and full of great love;
Battle-hardened, loyal defender Sergeant Mack;
"Thorn Head" Private 1st Class Leybin;
The honest and honest tough guy Capazzo is played by Vin Diesel;
Melis the stubborn Jew;
Mulder, a strong-willed military doctor;
The "nerd" little translator Urban ran back and forth to ask this question, which not only relaxed the atmosphere, but also expressed his own anxiety at a glance.
And the sniper jackson played by Li Fulong is quite cool. Kiss the cross, God borrowed it to praise, and the trigger was pulled and the blood flashed. Among the eight people, he was the most accurate and ruthless in killing, but when he slept, he was more fragrant than anyone else. Although it is said that "those who fight with the sword will die by the sword", but "the Lord is in my heart, and no one has a problem." "A pair of outfits gives people the feeling of one word: cool!
After Hanks's enlightenment, Li Fulong seemed to have opened up all of a sudden, and he had integrated the memory of Edward Fulong, and he could better understand the role of Jackson, and he was more comfortable acting.
One word, it's cool! Whether it's killing people or talking, it's cool!
"Sir, I have a bit of an opinion on that. ”
Li Fulong said coolly, and when he spoke, he still had a dog's tail grass in his mouth.
"Speak up and listen to it. Captain Miller, played by Hanks, said.
"My idea is that this mission, a waste of valuable military resources. ”
"Really? ”
"I feel that God has given me the talent to fight,"
"That's the right thing to complain, go on, Jackson. ”
"If I had been placed 1 km away from Hitler, I would have only needed one shot, and we would all have gone home, and the war would be over, Amen!"
After filming this scene, Hanks patted Li Fulong on the shoulder, and specially praised Li Fulong, "Eddie, your action design with a toothpick in your mouth is amazing, it's so cool!"
Shootout movies, who can be cooler than Brother Pony!
Li Fulong just replaced it with a dog's tail grass according to the classic action of Fa Ge holding a toothpick in his mouth.
Hats off to Fa Ge!
The rescue team moved on......
A drama is a literary and artistic work composed of one or more contradictions, and the plot twists and turns can be fascinating.
When the squad arrives at a town where the battle lines are intertwined, they meet a French couple who want the Americans to take their little girl away, which arouses the sympathy of Private Capazzo, played by Vin Diesel, but Captain Miller refuses because of the dangers lurking on the battlefield.
At this moment, the German snipers, who had been in ambush for a long time, opened fire, and Capazzo fell.
This scene of the ace duel of the blockers did really happen in reality, but there was a lot of luck, and it was in the Vietnam War.
Capazzo, who had been shot at him, was alone in the rainstorm, soaking wet and shivering.
The French couple next to them shouted desperately, but they didn't know what to shout, the little girl was crying in the rain, Melis was nervously comforting Capazzo, "lie down and don't move", the military doctor went out to rescue and was also stopped, Hanks was comforting the other team members, and the whole scene became nervous......
"Two squares, the wind is on the left" Li Fulong observed the side with a little nervousness, and began to adjust the sniper rifle.
Time seemed to stand still, and only the sound of rain could be heard.
"Lord, I trust in you!"
"Don't disgrace me, don't let the enemy play a triumphant song on me!"
This is Li Fulong's belief, and he feels that every target he shoots is given to him by God.
On the other side, the German sniper is observing with a scope, waiting for him to point the scope at Li Fulong.
"Bang!"
However, the bullet accurately penetrated the German sniper's scope and hit him in the eye......
This is Li Fulong's highlight moment.
When I was shooting just now, I shot them separately, as long as Li Fulong's expression was in place, I don't care where the bullets went.
And Keling's Capazzo, no one can carry out emergency rescue, and can only watch him bleed.
At this point, the scene belonging to Vin Diesel is over, and everyone also got together in the evening to see off Vin Diesel, and everyone left a deep feeling for "carrying the gun".
At this point, people can't help but ask: Is it worth saving one person with eight people? This has already put a huge question mark on people's minds.
So at a German radar station, another contradiction arose, because some people thought that since they had a heavy responsibility, there was no need to bother with such a thing as capturing the enemy's radar station, but Captain Miller insisted on capturing this military point.
So, they paid the price: the military doctor died in battle, and died a sensational death.
"Mom's ......"
"I want to go home......"
These are his words before he died, without any grandiose words, only nostalgia for his family and relatives......
The conflict intensified, and Private Rybin asked to leave the detachment, but the loyal Sergeant Mack threatened to be summarily shot.
The responsibility and pain of the officer are clearly shown here: to fulfill his duty comes an unbearable price, and Captain Miller, played by Hanks, hides in a place where his subordinates can't see and sobs quietly after the loss of a subordinate.
Li Fulong also saw the strength of the Oscar-winning actor.
When he expressed this plot, he used the kind of deliberately suppressed crying, the so-called loud and thin voice, which is more tear-jerking than howling and crying, and Hanks did a good job of bringing out his perhaps innate acting skills.
After going through hardships, the team finally found the real Ryan, Matt Damon, after paying the price of two deaths, but "Ryan" was never allowed to go home.
The plot is sensational and satisfies everyone's value orientation: a soldier should participate in every battle until victory or death, even if it has been paid a heavy price.
Spielberg kept Ryan on the battlefield, both to the satisfaction of the people on the rescue operation, and to the skeptics' stopping.
Li Fulong finally met this later famous "Bourne", Matt Damon.
It is said that he also has a brother named Barak who is very good at football, and there is no picture and no truth!
From 1996's "Life and Death" to 2015's "The Martian", Matt Damon starred in a total of 8 "Come and Save Me!" series of films that need to be "saved" in 19 years, with a total budget of $729 million, and in the film, the cost of "saving" him according to the needs of the plot exceeded $900 billion.
Although Matt Damon's 8 films cost $729 million, the total box office of these films is also as high as $2.7 billion, in comparison, "saving" Matt Damon is definitely a sure-fire job, no wonder Hollywood has been obsessively "saving" Matt Damon for so many years.
