Saving Private Ryan
Saving Private Ryan is a film which was directed by Steven Spielberg. The two main charactrs are Captain John Miller,played by Tom Hanks, and private James Ryan,played by Matt Damon.
James Ryan is the fourth brother to be involed in the Second World War.His three brothers has already been killed, two of them in the D-Day landing in Normandy, the other in a battle in another part of the world.Their heart-broken mother receives the news about all her dead sons on the same day.The US army decides to send a groups of men into the French countryside to try to find the fourth brother.Captain Miller, a hero and the surviror of the Omaha Beach battle, is choosen to lead the rescue team of eight men.
The film opens with a 30-minute sequence of the invasion of Normandy, probably the most violent images of war ever shown in a film.We see the full horror of the war,and the chaos and the senseless waste of life.
Saving Private Ryan is an unforgettable anti-war film,and also a story of couerage and sacrifice.Spielberg has made a lot of good films, but he has never made one with such a strong message.And the message is simple---We want peace,we don't want war.

变形金刚
I honestly don't know where to start with this movie. I will say however, that - like many other people - this is the film I've been waiting 20 years to see.
I suppose it's sensible to start with what should be the foundation stone of any cinematic experience - the script. It's cheesy, cliché-ridden, and poorly-structured. Characterisation (especially of the Autobots/Decepticons) is non-existent. Optimus Prime uttering the words "My bad" must go down in history as one of the worst moments in movie history. Actually scratch that - the "lubricating" scene is definitely worse. The writing of human characters is lazy at best, sticking with stereotypes such as the beautiful code-breaker, fat computer whizz, bumbling government agent etc etc. The performances (Shia aside) are instantly forgettable, but a great deal of that comes down to the script and direction. Megan Fox may be a great actress for all I know, but she may as well be a stripper for the purposes of this movie.
The effects are incredible (although not helped by Bay's erratic editing style), but when you've no reason to care about them it results in an empty experience. Effects DON'T MAKE A MOVIE.
With Spielberg as part of this project I allowed myself a little optimism, but it's patently clear that Bay and Co. had no understanding or respect for the Transformers franchise. GIANT "FLIPPING" ROBOTS BLOWING "STUFF" UP this may be, but it is most certainly not Transformers.

The Terminator is one of those films that no matter if you've seen it or not, you've heard of it, you know at least one or two lines without seeing it.
The Terminator is personally one of my favorite movies of all time, I think because this movie really is something special. This has everything: action, romance, horror, sci-fi, and even some dark humor. If you haven't seen The Terminator, I highly recommend this movie, it's an incredible one that is sure to deliver entertainment to the fullest. This is one of the greatest movies of all time and I'm sure that you will not be disappointed.

大家都很喜欢看电影吧,接下来我为你带来电影观后感英文版,希望对你有帮助。
Or the dream factory has always been the high standard, the screen exquisite detail, vivid characters vivid, touching story twists and turns, the most important thing is it in the most simple and easy to understand that the way of a token, that is - there is no shortcut to the world and Cheats, the only winning Famen is believe in themselves.
This film was absolutely amazing. I have spent hours re-watching various scenes and noticing all the perfection with which they are acted and directed. It's not the violence or action sequences that make this movie so great (although they are well done...), but rather moments like where Mathilda knocks on Leon's door. It would be so easy to just film the door opening, but instead we see light illuminating Natalie Portman's face, symbolizing something angelic. And the moment has so much more meaning.
I know a lot of people who have seen this film because they are action fans. I'm not. But I'm glad I finally found it, because it's a wonderful film in so many other ways.
Harry Potter is a series of seven fantasy novels written by British author J. K. Rowling. The books chronicle the adventures of the eponymous adolescent wizard Harry Potter, together with Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger, his best friends. The central story arc concerns Harry's struggle against the evil wizard Lord Voldemort, who killed Harry's parents in his quest to conquer the wizarding world, after which he seeks to subjugate the Muggle (non-magical) world to his rule.
Somewhere, under the sea, weak-finned clown fish Nemo (Alexander Gould) lives with his fretful father, Marlin (Albert Brooks). Smothered by pop's paranoia, he ventures away from the reef, but his dad's dread is justified when a passing diver whisks him away.
Taken to a tank in a Sydney dentists, Nemo meets Gill (Willem Dafoe) and co - friendly fish who dream of escaping to the ocean. Meanwhile, Marlin bumps into a blue tang named Dory (Ellen DeGeneres), and sets out to save his son...
The splendour of natural history hit The Blue Planet is matched by the wit of the script and stars. Barry Humphries has a terrific cameo as a great white shark who's sworn off killing (Remember, fish are friends, not food!), while DeGeneres provides perfect timing and tone as Dory, whose short-term memory loss is a gag that never stops running
There are so many amazing things in the world.这个世界上有太多不可思议的事情.If tomorrow is the end of the world,what can we do?如果明天是世界末日,我们可以做什么?So now,i think we should keep smile everyday.所以现在,我觉得我们应该每天都微笑.After i finish the movie of "2012The end of the world",I feel very upset about that.我看完“2012世界末日”这电影之后,我感到很悲伤.When I saw the people die in the movie,I thought about if this event will happen to us,will we die very helpless?当我看到人类在这个电影里死了,我想到了如果这件事情发生在我们身上,我们会死得很无助吗?If we have to die,I'll choose the one happy ending,like we have to cherish what we have now.如果我们一定要死,我会选择一个开心的结局,就好像我们一定要珍惜我们现在拥有的一切!My family and my friends are love me,there are so many people love me!我的家人和我的朋友都很爱我,有很多人都爱我!I should thanks God for gave me so many things.我应该感激上天给我的一切.When the end really came in the world,I will not feel regret!当世界末日真的来临了,我也不会感到遗憾!Beginning at this minute,I'll be happy everyday!从这一分钟开始,我会开心每一天!
阿甘有自己的坚持,他不断地跑步,JUST RUNS. 他跑步不为任何理由.他说:"人要往前看,千万不要被过去拖累.我想我跑步就是这个意义”和过去告别,不停留在原处.也许这世界上太多人随拨逐流,很少人会坚持做一件事,阿甘坚持自己的坚持,于是他成了“神”.影片中还有一位主要人物是上校丹.他在越南战争中失去了双腿.他说他的`命运就是战死.然而阿甘却救他,让他活了下来.失去双腿后他开始憎恨生活,生活得很颓废,责怪阿甘当初救了他.然而当他调整心态,去和阿甘一起捕鱼生活,有了收获后,开始感觉到生活的美好.感谢阿甘当初就了他.影片试图通过这个角色告诉观者生活总是美好的.乌云后有彩虹,绝境后有重生.关键是看我们给不给自己一个好心态,一个机会去改变不好的现状.影片试图向观者传达这样一个信息:或许做好我们该做的每一件事,生活就会给我们一个好的回馈.只要有一种坚持就会出现一个奇迹.
Mr. A Gan has his own perseverance, keeping on running without of any reason, JUST RUNS. He said: “Man has t look forward, and never encumbered by foretime. I thank that's the meaning of my running.” Say goodbye to foretime and don't stay in-place. Although so many people in the world are used to follow others and few people can stick to one thing, Mr. A Gan does and becomes “GOD”. There is another character Captain Dan. Dan lost his legs in Vietnarm War. He said that his fate is death in war. However, Mr. A Gan saved him and let him be alive. After losing legs, Dan was decadent and disgusted with life, complaining that A
Gan shouldn't save him. When he adjusted his mind, living on fishing with A Gan, he started to enjoy the wonderful life and thank A Gan's help. The movie is intended to tell people that life is wonderful by this character. Rainbow is always after cloud. The key point is that whether we have a good mind and an opportunity to ourselves to change bad situation. The movie is also sent such a message to us: do well what we should do, and life will return us well. There will be a miracle if only there is perseverance.
Ⅳ 复仇者联盟观后感 英文 100个单词以上
The Avengers I have seen a lot of classic movies in my elective course of this semester. The one which give me a deep impression is “The Avengers”. Marvel’s “The Avengers” (titled Avengers Assemble in the UK and Ireland) is an American superhero film which proced by Marvel Studios and distributed by Walt Disney Pictures. It was based on the Marvel Comics superhero team of same name. It was the sixth installment in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The film is written and directed by Joss Whedon and features an ensemble cast that includes six heroes named the Avengers. In the Avengers, Nick Fury, director of the peacekeeping organization S.H.I.E.L.D, recruits them to form a team that must stop Thor’s brother Loki from enslaving the human race. The story was beginning as the evil Loki got the Cosmic Cube and he want to occupy the earth. When an unexpected enemy emerges that threatens global safety and security, Nick Fury, Director of the international peacekeeping agency known as S.H.I.E.L.D., finds himself in need of a team to pull the world back from the brink of disaster. Spanning the globe, a daring recruitment effort begins. None of the supper heroes could fight against him alone. Then the S.H.I.E.L.D got all the supper heroes together and made a team named the Avengers to fight against Loki and war together for peace. They are Iron Man、Captain America、Hulk、Black Widow and Hawkeye. Iron Man’s real name is Tony Stark. He can fly and fighting after the armor. Iron Man is complete a playboy who also happens to be an engineering genius. He creates an armored suit and became a super hero. Steve Rogers/Captain America, he is the only super-soldiers in the world. Steve Rogers, he took part in the “Super Soldiers Plan” in the World War Ⅱ. Then he become the first and only survivor, as Captain America. Bruce Banner/Hulk, he is a scientist and researcher. Once he was wounded by radiation for a experiment. He would turn to be Hulk when he became angry or fear. Black Widow and Hawkeye, the agents of S.H.I.E.L.D, they were couple. Thor, is Odin(The king of the gods)’s son, he is the god in Norse mythology. He learn compassion under the earth and he can control the Thunder with his hammer. Without his magic hammer, Thor is just a quit strong. He came to the mortal world to protect the Earth. Loki, Thor’s brother, in fact Loki was adopted by Thor’s father Oudin. Loki is the enemy of Avengers. Loki is a disgraced Asgardian princeling with a spear and magic helmet, is after the tesseract, a glowing blue cube of pure energy. With the help of a couple of brainwashed turncoats, Loki has pried it away from Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson), a world-government spymaster with a lot of semi-secret projects up his sleeve. “The Avengers” premiered on April 11, 2012, at the Capitan Theatre in Hollywood, California. The film has received positive reviews from most film critics and set numerous box office records, including the biggest opening weekend in North America. A sequel is currently in development. “The Avengers” is hardly worth raging about, its failures are significant and dispiriting. The light, amusing bits cannot overcome the grinding, hectic emptiness, the bloated cynicism that is less a shortcoming of this particular film than a feature of the genre. “The Avengers” is probably the best superhero movie made by director Joss Whedon. He did everything right in this movie. It’s definitely a movie which worth watching for us. The story was excellent, the action of the heroes was amazing and special effects WOW. Not only is The Avengers the superhero movie we had to have. It is the superhero movie we have to see. This truly epic action picture positively pulses with panache, wit and excitement throughout. In The Avengers, the all-star ensemble must thwart a possible world-ending scheme devised by Thor’s villainous brother Loki. In bringing their blood feud to Earth, the warring sibling gods have left open a mystical door that puts the entire mortal world in danger. Although the story of saving the world we have seen time and again, but when placed in the assured hands of such an A-list cast and amazing action, it also makes perfectly compelling sense. In particular, Robert Downey Jr is back in ripping form after a lackluster display in Iron Man 2. He supplies an infectious comic spark that lights up plenty of interplay between the egocentric major players.。 The welcome inclusion of Jeremy Renner as rogue marksman Hawkeye also prevents the movie from ever slipping into a rut. Before the film was made, the question was how could those characters, who have been around for more than half a century in about 500 comic book issues, not bore the audience, and more importantly, fit together. Director Joss Whedon has done a good job, by managing to stir all the personalities and ingredients together. The resulting dish, however familiar, is irresistibly tasty again. That it works and it’s as satisfying a tent-pole movie as you could hope for, is something close to a miracle.

我看到很多在我这学期的选修课的经典电影复仇者。其中给我留下了深刻的印象是“复仇者”。奇迹的“复仇者”(“复仇者聚集在英国和爱尔兰)是一个美国的超级英雄电影,由惊奇漫画工作室的产生和迪士尼分布。它是基于同名的奇迹漫画超级英雄团队。这是奇迹宇宙的第六部电影。这部电影是由Joss Whedon导演和功能的阵容,包括六位英雄命名的复仇者。在复仇者,尼克,超级的维和组织主任,招收他们形成一个团队,必须停止托尔的弟弟洛基从奴役人类。故事的开始是邪恶的洛基了宇宙魔方,他想占领地球。当一个意想不到的敌人威胁全球安全,尼克,国际维和机构称为盾董事,发现自己在一个团队将世界从灾难的边缘拉了回来需要。放眼全球,一个大胆的招聘工作开始。的超级英雄不能单独与他战斗。然后把所有的晚餐超级英雄一起做了一个团队命名为复仇者对抗洛基和战争共同为和平。他们是铁人、美国队长、巨人、黑寡妇和鹰眼。钢铁人的真实姓名是托尼斯塔克。他能飞,战斗装甲。钢铁侠是完成一个花花公子谁也恰好是一个工程天才。他创建了一个装甲服和成为一个超级英雄。史提夫Rogers /美国队长,他是世界上唯一的超级士兵。史提夫罗杰斯,他参加了“超级士兵”计划在世界大战Ⅱ。然后他成为第一个也是唯一的幸存者,美国队长。布鲁斯班纳和绿巨人,他是一个科学家和研究员。一旦他被辐射的实验。他会变成巨人当他生气或恐惧。黑寡妇和鹰眼,超级特工,他们夫妇。雷神,是奥丁神(众神之王)的儿子,他是北欧神话中的神。他学会同情在地球,他可以控制他的锤雷。没有他的魔锤,雷神是一个较强。他来到人类世界,保护地球。洛基,托尔的弟弟,事实上我是作者的父亲奥丁采用。我是复仇的敌人。我是一个耻辱Asgardian王子长矛和魔法帽,是在超立方体,一个纯能量的发光的蓝色立方体。有一对被洗脑的叛徒的帮助下,我已经把它从尼克(塞缪尔L.杰克逊),一个有很多半秘密项目成竹在胸的世界政府的间谍。“复仇者”首演于2012年4月11日,在好莱坞Capitan剧院,加利福尼亚。电影已经从大多数影评人收到了积极的评论和众多的票房记录,包括在美国北部最大的开放周末。续集目前正在开发中。“复仇者”几乎不值得肆虐,其故障是显着的和令人失望的。光,有趣的位无法克服的磨削,忙碌的空虚,臃肿的犬儒主义,不是一个缺点这个特殊的电影比的体裁特征。“复仇者”可能是最好的超级英雄电影导演乔斯温登了。他对这部电影的一切。这绝对是一个值得看的美国电影。这个故事是优良的,英雄的作用是惊人的和特殊效果,哇。不仅是复仇的超级英雄电影我们不得不。这是超级英雄电影我们已经看到。这是真正的史诗动作画面的正脉冲的派头,机智和兴奋的。在复仇者,全明星集合必须防止可能发生的世界末日方案托尔的邪恶的弟弟洛基设计。把他们的世仇到地球,敌对的兄弟神离开开放的神秘之门,使得整个人类世界的危险。虽然我们已经看到了一次又一次拯救世界的故事,但当放在手中,这样保证一流的演员和惊人的动作,这也使得完全信服感。特别是,小罗伯特唐尼回到撕裂形成钢铁侠2小后显示。他极富感染力的漫画点燃以自我为中心的大玩家之间的相互作用的多..杰瑞米Renner欢迎列入流氓射手鹰眼也防止电影曾经陷入车辙。电影开拍之前,问题是如何将这些字符,谁已经有半个多世纪的500本漫画书的问题,没有观众,更重要的是,适合在一起。导演Joss Whedon已经做了出色的工作,通过管理将所有角色和成分在一起。由此产生的菜,但是熟悉的,是不可抗拒的美味了。它是为满足帐篷杆部你所希望的,是近乎奇迹。

Film Review of Pride and Prejudice
Pride and Prejudice is a famous classic written by Jane Austen. I was attracted by the characters and plots of the film adapted from the novel.
Elizabeth is the heroine of the story. When she meets Darcy, a handsome, rich but arrogant man, on the party for the first time, she is dissatisfied with the proud manner of Darcy. Darcy looks down on those who are in a lower social class,including Elizabeth. However, after getting to know the courage, independence and confidence of Elizabeth, he almost falls in love with her. But Elizabeth believes the lies of Wickham which causes her great prejudice to Darcy. She rejects Darcy’s propose marriage to protect her self-respect. Finally, Darcy goes away because he couldn’t tolerate Elizabeth’s sisters’ vulgar manners. He writes a long letter to explain his thoughts and love to Elizabeth. After reading it, Elizabeth feels guilty about misjudging Darcy and regrets turning him down. As time goes away, Darcy graally improves his pride and keeps helping Elizabeth’s family out from troubles. At last, Elizabeth removes the prejudice to Darcy and accepts his propose marriage.
From the film I learn that we can’t judge a man immediately by the first impression. If we are controlled by our subjective senses, it will easy cause prejudice and misunderstanding and probably influent the developments of many events. To avoid this situation, we need more communication to understand others deeply by ourselves.
A review of the Pursuit of Happiness
“The Pursuit of Happyness” was released on the 15th of December 2006. It is a dramatic story based on a biography of Chris Gardner’s nearly one-year struggle with homelessness. Directed by Gabrielle Muccino, the film stars Will Smith as Chris Gardner, and co-stars Jaden Smith playing Chris’ son, Christopher Jr. For Will Smith’s performance in the film, he was nominated for an Academy Award and a Golden Globe for Best Actor. The ‘different’ spelling of the title, ‘Happyness’ is seen by Chris Gardner on the building outside the play centre is son attends, which Chris reminds the owners of the building multiple times that it is spelt with an ‘I’.
The film shows us the struggles Chris Gardner has with homelessness. He is bankrupt because he invested his life savings in portable bone-density scanners, which he thought hospitals would be interested in buying, but in the end hardly any doctors wanted one, as they considered it an ‘expensive luxury’. During the struggles, his wife Linda leaves to go to New York and Chris and his son are left in San Francisco with no income and living in a motel. Chris sees interest in become a stockbroker, but to become one he has to go through an internship. Meanwhile, Chris and his son are evicted because they can’t pay rent, and they are forced to go to a homeless shelter, and even one night had to sleep in the bathroom of the underground rail system. During his internship, he never once mentions his financial struggles and at one point he is asked to give one of his bosses 5 dollars for a cab, a sum that he can’t afford. After an intense six months, Chris is taken into the bosses’ office, and is offered a job as a stockbroker, the final scene shows him being in unbelief of the position he was offered and showing his happiness and gratefulness for the opportunity, Chris realises that his financial struggles are over as he now has a job with a regular income.
Christ was unfortunate, for he got a wife who was not understandable at all (though she has her own difficulties) and was in bad luck with his business. But he was very fortunate also, for he got a son who was very thoughtful and, I think, tough life experiences always make a great person. It is said that this movie is inspired by a true story, and I want to say, this movie does inspire me a lot. What impressed me most are: Christ’s wife left him because of life pressure; Christ’s love to his son and Christ’s strong belief towards life. Through these, I know that it is not easy to be a good husband and a good Papa, since in reality, only love cannot only make everything. And I also learn that one has to strongly believe in himself, no matter how difficult the situation is, but of course, hard-working is indispensable.

Ⅸ 求一篇关于拯救大兵瑞恩电影的观后感,英文,谢谢啦,
Saving Private Ryan1) The period/event in history the movie is covering:The event being covered in this film is World War Two.The period in history is from the 6th to 13th of June 1944 which is the -2) The main characters involved in the movie/historical event. Captain Miller: I think Captain Miller is the main character because even though the name of the movie is called “Saving Private Ryan” I think this movie is about how the soldiers try to find Private Ryan under the orders of Captain Miller. James Ryan: Private Ryan is the second most important character because the film is all about other soldiers trying to save him and what happened on the way to find him.Hitler: I think Hitler caused the war because, if he wasn’t there, then none of Ryan’s brothers would have died and the soldiers wouldn’t have to look for him.Abraham Lincoln: I put him on the list of main characters because I think Abraham Lincoln is a great example of what the Chief of Staff should do when some families lost too many family members and the Chief of Staff should follow Lincoln’s good example to avoid the same tragedy.Private Ryan’s mother: the Chief of Staff was trying to avoid breaking an old lady’s heart by saving her last son. 3) Three points that are accurate (true) in the movie about the historical period in question.a) This was a tough time and there was a shortage of food so people had to eat whatever they could find. The film showed the soldiers eating food off the ground because they were so hungry.b) The tanks and guns they used were suitable for that time period. So, most of the equipment was typical for that time.c) The friendship between those soldiers was true because if someone was dying others would complete their last wish.
Ⅹ 求电影《战马》的英文观后感800字!急急急!!!
一匹马儿的战火浮生
这匹额头带白色星芒斑、四蹄雪白的骏马名字叫Joey,我却想叫它Joy,它能活下来和它的主人团聚,实在是太好了。战火浮生,它所经历过的形形色色的人,英国人,德国人,法国人,养大它的农场小伙子Albert,骑着它冲锋陷阵的北萨默塞特义勇骑兵队上尉Nicholls,照顾它的Gunther和Michael兄弟,捡到它、想教它跨栏的法国小姑娘Emilie,剪断铁刺网联手救下它的英德士兵……这些人中有的死了,有的幸存,战火带给各国人民的苦难,谁也不比谁受得少,历尽艰辛伤痛后的重聚,毕竟是令人欣慰的。只要亲爱的还在一起,生活就还能继续,正如璀璨的晚霞与黑暗的长夜过后,总会有拂晓到来。
吸引我看这部影片的,不是斯皮尔伯格的名头,也不是参演的演员们,而是难得的一战题材,和昙花一现的关于北萨默塞特义勇骑兵队(North Somerset Yeomanry)的片断。
北萨默塞特义勇骑兵队是随英国地方自卫队(Territorial Force )的建制而组建的,最初隶属于第1西南骑兵旅,总部在巴斯,下辖A、B、C、D四支骑兵中队,其中A中队驻巴斯,训练营在巴斯安普敦、法姆博罗、弗洛姆、梅尔斯和罗德。梅尔斯的霍纳家族继承人Edward William Horner在大战爆发之初应募的便是这支骑兵中队,后来他转调第18玛丽女王所属轻骑兵队,1917年在康布雷战役中阵亡。
一战爆发后NSY扩编为三个团,其中1/1st是真正意义上的一线作战部队。1914年8月份它随西南骑兵旅转移到苏塞克斯,随后被命令单独前往法国,11月3日登陆,13日被编入第3骑兵师第6骑兵旅,1915年5月这个团在伊普尔Bellewaarde附近抵抗德军的进攻中损失惨重,1918年3月离开师部,最初计划改组为步兵,两日后改为与莱斯特郡义勇骑兵队合并组建一个机枪营,最终因为德军的春季攻势而搁置,该团仍保留为骑兵团,4月份解编,以中队为单位并入第6骑兵旅各个营(第1龙骑兵,第3近卫龙骑兵,第10轻骑兵)。影片中出现的这支NSY部队毫无疑问属于1/1st NSY。
想必许多女性观众是冲着Tom Hiddleston、Benedict Cumberbatch去的,他们两位在影片中都扮演了NSY的军官,BC是少校Jamie Stewart,TH是上尉Nicholls,《剑桥风云》里Julian Bell的扮演者Patrick Kennedy是他们的同僚,中尉Charlie Waverly,这不是Patrick第一次演一战军官了。这三位难兄难弟在一次对敌营发动的突袭中一死二俘,马尸与人尸混杂,僵卧战场的情状,虽不血腥,却足以令人思之悯然。尤其是当我联想到Edward在1915年的那次重伤,1917年在康布雷的阵亡,也可能是这样悲壮的冲锋陷阵时。以前关注的多为一战中英军死难者,看《战马》这个片段时,第一次认真考虑了俘虏的问题,令人腆颜的是,尽管这是个很明显的问题,以前忽略它却是因为觉得战俘不够光荣尊严之缘故。Waverly被从马上掀翻下来,Stewart在包围中将佩刀重重刺入土中,又有何不尊严之处?一战本来就是消耗人生命的无价值之战,不值得那么多青年为它殉葬。然而Stewart在战前动员演讲时的那句for fallen comrades还是感动了我。for fallen comrades,对于身在泥泞和炮火中的士兵们,要比for the King来得实在得多吧。
反战主题无处不在。Albert瘸腿又酗酒的父亲Ted原是帝国义勇骑兵队老兵,参加了第二次布尔战争,在南非服役,负过重伤,拿过DCM(优异作战勋章,和DSO对应,DSO授予委任军官,DCM授予非委任军官),但Ted对自己在战争中的作为一无骄傲,他扔掉了自己的团三角旗和勋章,妻子Rose却暗地里保存并藏了起来。后来Rose把这些给Albert看。那面猩红的三角旗就此成了影片的一个符号,随着Albert的手系到了变为战马的Joy的辔上,然后穿越战火,落到那对法国爷孙手里,又在最后回归了Albert之手。
当Nicholls阵亡后,坐骑Joy被德军俘获,它被交给两个年轻的后勤士兵Gunther和Michael,然而随着战局的演变,Michael被调入现役,Gunther害怕年纪太小的Michael会在战场上死去,他会背弃自己许诺要照顾好弟弟的誓言,他在半路上骑着Joy截走了Michael,当了逃兵。影片没有给人安慰的结局,这对兄弟一如我担忧的那样,被抓到枪毙了。
然后来到了法国爷孙家里,孙女的父母死于战争,孙女指责爷爷懦弱,而爷爷说,there are different ways to be brave。孙女捡到了Gunther和Michael留下的Joy和它的黑马朋友。她训练Joy,想让它学会跨栏,可这样田园式的宁静生活只是瞬息,Joy很快被来到的德军部队带走,为了顶替衰颓的小黑,它自愿被发配去拉超重型榴弹炮(那是Dicke Bertha?对一战重炮没有研究,求指教),从战马降格成了苦力。
高爆弹的火光照亮了英军堑壕,堑壕里出现了Albert的脸,原来他也已经从戎,到了法国。时间流逝,1918年索姆河,一场小型堑壕攻防战正激烈展开。在机枪的扫射前,英军不断仆倒,Albert冲锋到德军堑壕前沿,用一枚手雷干掉了德军机枪手,夺取堑壕的短暂兴奋很快被突如其来的毒气冲散。另一边,小黑终于因力竭而倒毙行军途中,失伴的Joy在逼近的坦克前左冲右突,最后几尽疯狂,在两军对峙的疆场上狂奔,不幸陷入铁刺网的牢笼。为了救出Joy,英德士兵各举白旗暂时休战,两个本源是兄弟,却成为仇敌的年轻人一边用铁钳剪断Joy身上的铁刺,一边用英语流利地交谈。大战中许多英德士兵兼有两国血统,他们面临阵营选择的煎熬,他们面临许多困难,他们面临拿起枪屠杀自己手足的悲剧。然而这就是战争。
被毒气薰伤眼睛的Albert在急救站里与面目全非的Joy重逢,当年的誓言,“无论你走到哪里,我都要找到你”,犹在耳畔。
虽然不尽完美,有所失望,但这仍是我今年看到的好影片。
