Chapter 1629 The soul of the war movie

For powerful actors, the filming efficiency is much higher than that of ordinary actors, such as Anne Hathaway. Although she is young, her emotions and sense of substitution during acting are captured very well. Therefore, the last few sets of shots of this movie are perfect, with emotions, expressions and even tears, and she comes at the right time, without any delay at all.

In Li Mu's memory, in a documentary he once watched, he once mentioned that many more dedicated actresses, in order to shed tears at any time during filming, would train alone for a long time and find a way to make themselves cry at any time. In this way, when shooting any scene that needs to cry, tears can open the valve at any time like a faucet. However, for those actors who are not very dedicated, when filming crying scenes, just bring a bottle of eye drops.

The sets of shots taken by Anne Hathaway are the last shots in the main film of the whole movie. However, after this set of shots, the movie has not been completely completed, and some scenes have to be completed in the scenes at the airport. After all, the order of shots of the movie is completely different from the order of the last editing.

After these sets of shots, Anne Hathaway's eyes were still red and tears continued to flow.

Spielberg hurriedly stepped forward to comfort her and said, "Annie, stop crying. This scene was done very well. Until now, we have never completed so many shots so smoothly in one go, and we did a pretty job!"

Anne Hathaway carefully wiped her tears and said to Spielberg: "Director, your script is really unfair to the two of them. Even for the Titanic, Rose found a new lover after Jak's death, got married and had children. Why did she have to die alone for so many years after her lover passed away?"

Spielberg smiled slightly and said calmly: "I think people should remember history as much as they remember love, so they need the role you play to be a role model and set off. Since she is a role model, she must invest more and sacrifice more than ordinary people."

After saying that, Spielberg said again: "War must be cruel, but not absolutely cruel, but not absolutely perfect. Therefore, a responsible war movie must have a heavy theme and heavy theme, and is an indispensable soul for a qualified war movie! An overly passionate, overly relaxed or even overly perfect war movie is irresponsible to history."

"The number of casualties and injuries in China in World War II exceeded 30 million. The wars that took place on this land and the various stories that took place in the war were difficult to have a happy ending. So we let the character of Liu Ye, the passionate young man, die in the sky, because he is a soldier of this country. In the face of national disasters, he is the group of people who put life and death aside. If he, the character, eventually, survives, it is not enough to show the audience the great contribution of this country to resist aggression;"

"The reason why she wants to survive the role of a farm girl like Du Wei and gain a perfect love is because she represents the ordinary people of this country. After the war, she should enjoy the life brought to her by peace. If she also dies in the war, or if she fails to reap happiness in the end, it is not enough to show the audience justice and the preciousness of peace;"

"So, based on these, soldiers died in a war to defend justice in a just war, and the people enjoy a peaceful life under the sacrifice of these people. This is the final result of a war."

Anne Hathaway was silent for a while, nodded gently, and whispered: "I understand what you mean, thank you."

Spielberg patted her shoulder lightly and said with a smile: "Go and take off your makeup quickly, we have to go back to the airport."

Anne Hathaway nodded and returned to the tent responsible for makeup with Leonardo and Du Wei. Li Mu kept recalling the words Spielberg had just said, feeling very touched and deeply agreed.

The modern film and television industry has been using various methods to show the wars in human history. The most popular theme is World War II, which has the greatest impact and harm to all mankind. However, many war-themed film and television dramas have not grasped the heavy focus that Spielberg said.

Since it is a war, it is an extremely heavy thing no matter from any perspective. This is true for the justice side, the evil side, the winner, or the loser.

Therefore, while a good war movie recreates certain scenes of war, it is necessary to make future generations feel the heaviness of war, so it is full of awe, alertness and reflection on war.

If a war movie is completely passionate and makes people excited and just want to charge in front of the battle with a gun, then this is definitely not an excellent war movie, or even a qualified war movie, because it is advocating war and packaging war with passion.

If a war movie is presented in a comedy and absurd way, and people can watch it to eliminate tears and fall back and forth, then this is not a qualified war movie. War is the mutual killing between humans. No matter from any angle, it is not something that can make people laugh.

Therefore, Spielberg was unwilling to present a war film with a perfect ending, a war with 30 million casualties. If all the five starring actors survived and were happy, it would seem like a house-like war, if all died, it would appear particularly dark. If the world after the sacrifice was still so desperate, then what's the point of sacrifice?

If you think about it carefully, Li Mu feels that a big guy like Spielberg is indeed like a top chef, and he controls the temperature very accurately. Li Mu will think about several of his classic war movies carefully, and they are indeed on the heavy tone and bring hope to people.

For example, in "Save the Soldier Ryan", the Normandy landing at the opening was extremely cruel. Then, a special team led by Tom Hanks went deep into the battlefield to save Ryan and finally made great sacrifices, so that even the starring Tom Hanks sacrificed to exchange for the name of Soldier Ryan. Is it heavy? Although it is heavy, it still hopes and warmth, especially when Ryan returned to the United States as the only surviving one of the four sons in his family, people realized that this was the purpose of Tom Hanks' sacrifice, let Ryan go home, let him return to his parents, let him inherit his blood in peacetime, and let him bring his family to Tom Hanks' grave to mourn when he was over 70 years old.

For example, in "Schindler's List", countless Jews were brutally slaughtered by the Germans, making the whole movie full of despair and darkness, like a long night that will never light up. But even so, Schindler is still trying his best to save the Jews facing the massacre, and eventually successfully bring some of them out of the cave of death. Therefore, when a large number of Jewish descendants go to Schindler's grave to mourn, people will understand the cruelty of war, the meaning of saving others, and the importance of peace.

Looking back at the drama "Flying Tigers", there are five starring actors in the play. Except for Chennard played by Tom Hanks, the remaining four are exactly two pairs of transnational lovers between China and the United States, American pilot and Chinese farmer girl, Chinese pilot and American female nurse.

One of the lovers has achieved success, that is, the role played by Leonardo and Du Wei, while the lovers played by Liu Ye and Anne Hathaway are the two most tragic characters in the whole film.

The character played by Liu Ye flew a fighter plane to defend the airspace of the motherland in his youth and eventually died heroically. The character played by Anne Hathaway took that affection and the only photo of Liu Ye. The two of them wanted to let the audience understand the cruelty of war and the sacrifices and prices that war had to be paid.

When Li Mu calmed down and thought about what Spielberg said, Mr. Han Zili's son came to Li Mu and said nervously: "Mr. Li, I am Han Zili's son. Several old people have a request, but they are embarrassed to come over to tell you in person, so they want me to convey it to you..."

Li Mu hurriedly said: "You said that we must try our best to achieve what we can achieve and never disappoint the old gentlemen."

Han Zili, who was over 50 years old, said, "That's right. Didn't our crew restore a wartime airport that year? When the construction started and the construction was just completed, my father and Uncle Sun and others went to visit it, but the plane had not arrived at that time. Later, I heard that the crew had transported several old planes from the United States. My father and others were still guessing whether it was a p-40c. It happened that your Weibo post was reported on TV yesterday. My father and they all saw the p-40c painted by sharks behind you when you took pictures. I was so excited, so I hoped to go and see it. Because they were in the Flying Tigers and were driving this model, so I wanted me to ask you if it was convenient and whether it would disturb the crew's normal shooting..."

Several old men were indeed obsessed with the carriage of those who were old. The old fighter jets with cartoon sharks were carrying their memories, their blood, their youth, all their feelings for their country and family, and also the greatest and most glorious moments of their lives. They dreamed that they could touch the skin with rivets, the wide and thick propeller, and the scarlet bloody mouth of the shark.

When Li Mu heard this, he said without hesitation: "This is fine. I will arrange it immediately. I will let the Toyota Coaster take a few old gentlemen and you later. The other Flying Tigers from the United States and their families will also invite them together."

Han Zili's son immediately nodded excitedly and said, "Thank you so much, Mr. Li, I'll tell them now!"
