这电影真扎实!完全不像那种只要靠打斗撑场面的,节奏慢得让人心里发沉。如果你喜欢真实感强、节奏紧凑的历史战争片,且能接受主角有伤残设定的硬核军事故事,这部电影会非常对味。 老戏骨们的对戏松弛又沉重,特别是那种混杂着绝望与倔强的眼神,特别戳人。主演们演得挺稳,特别是那种年轻娃娃兵的眼神,看着就让人难受。影片在残酷的战斗与安静的内心独白间切换,既有紧张感又有深沉的思考空间。 ☻。
The story begins in 1996 when Colonel Sodhi, now 70, visits his sister and her family. However, even after over half a century, the nightmares of his intense battle and its aftermath often return to haunt him.
