War always reminds people of epics, and epics will describe wars in all likelihood. It is a wise move for the film to be chosen to reproduce the epic, but how many epics end up?
An epic war movie, I think it must have three elements: huge scenes, advanced weapons, and full of realism. Today, I recommend 10 such movies to everyone. Among these epic movies, for those fans who like shocking pictures, they must not be missed.
"Saving Private Ryan" (1998)
The real big guide (Steven Spielberg) blockbuster, allowing us to experience the cruelty and humanity of war complex. At the beginning of the beach and at the end, Ruimeier's bloody fighter position control achieved magical skills. The powerful main and secondary close-ups resembled a surviving World War II veteran spitting in memory of military horses. Remel's broken bridge, behind Captain Miller is the endless setting sun, before him is the end of this slightly ridiculous task, and before him is James Ryan's tomorrow.
Classic World War II theme, classic rescue plot as the main conflict of the movie, classic American theme movies are also classic epic war genre movies, released in 1998, using basic memoir narrative The technique tells the story of saving Private Ryan in World War II. Although the film was shot in an early age and the narrative technique is unremarkable, the details of the movie are very close to the real history, the war scenes are vivid and shocking, and the storyline is also very touching, but it is inevitable that there are some in the meantime. It is bloody, and it is not recommended for women with weaker acceptance levels to watch.
The film adopts the old-fashioned reminiscence narrative technique. The beginning of the film starts with the stars and stripes flying in the sky, and falls on the ground. A gray-haired old man is staggering step by step. The cemetery of the martyrs, from his moist eyes, returned to the day when the Allied forces landed in Normandy on June 6, 1944.
The Normandy Landing is one of the largest landing battles in the history of the world. At the beginning of the film, it was a 20-minute long, tragic and suffocating war scene. This is a battle scene in the history of the movie. Very lifelike and classic description, the number of people who participated in the Normandy landing, how tragic the battle was, the climax at the beginning of the story really made people unable to calm down into the following plot after watching it for a long time.
"Pearl Harbor" (2001)
mentioned "Pearl Harbor", the first thing to say is its $145 million production cost-this is the history of Hollywood The highest film production cost since. Many people who know movies may ask: Isn't the production cost of "Titanic" more than 200 million US dollars, much higher than "Pearl Harbor". But in fact, the original shooting budget of "Thai" was only about 100 million U.S. dollars. It was only because of James Cameron's "excessive spending" that the cost of the film exceeded 200 million. The budget declared for "Jane" before filming was 145 million, so "Pearl Harbor" is the veritable Hollywood filming cost in history.
matches the unprecedented high cost, of course, an unprecedented pomp. In order to reproduce the brutal and heroic war scenes on the screen (many people who have watched the trailer and the pilot film think that the war scenes in "Jane" can compete with "Saving Private Ryan"), the crew of "Pearl Harbor" not only With the full support of the U.S. Department of Defense, he was able to be stationed in Pearl Harbor in the U.S. military base on Oahu for shooting. In addition, he spent huge sums of money to purchase 15 old-fashioned U.S. military fighters. They used real guns to shoot most of the explosions and airstrikes in the film. , Naval battle shots and scenes (of course, advanced digital image synthesis technology is also used in post-production to produce some effects that cannot be achieved by real shooting).
In addition, the film crew also includes Los Angeles, San Francisco, Baja California in Mexico (that is, the giant water studio built for the filming of "Titanic"), and England on the other side of the ocean. From this, it can be seen that the huge cost and large scenes of the film "Zhen" are beyond the reach of ordinary films.
"The Soldiers Under the City" (2001)
is the best film about sniper duels I have seen, none of them. The film describes the most tragic battle in World War II: the Defence of Stalingrad. Adapted from the 1973 documentary novel of the same name by writer William Craig. The "Vasily" in the play is indeed a person in reality. It is said that the prototype of Vasily killed more than 400 enemies in World War II.
The legendary film is also one of the most costly productions in the history of European cinema, costing 90 million US dollars. The main actors are basically British stars who have become popular in Hollywood. Among them, Joseph Fiennes, who has quickly become popular in recent years with Oscar winners "Shakespeare in Love" and "Elizabeth", has shown superb acting skills in "Genius Ripley" Jude Law, as well as Ed Harris, who was shown as a tough guy in "Death Island", and Rachel Weisz, who played the cute female explorer in the 1999 popular adventure film "The Mummy" Show your skills in the film again and stage a "fire affair" with Jude Law.
The creation of the film set, props and battlefield atmosphere is a classic, and the character image is very delicate.
"Blood Battle on Hacksaw Ridge" (2016)
I thought it was a very low movie, but after watching it, it just exploded, I have to say, Mel Gibson The sword is not old, your uncle will always be your uncle!
is adapted from real people. The story is very simple. It tells a devout Christian who refused to take weapons to the battlefield by a soldier named Des Montedos who only saved people. Films have won numerous awards: the 89th Academy Awards, the 74th Golden Globe Awards, the 20th Hollywood Film Awards and so on.
The director Mel Gibson, who has always been known for his realism and brutal masculinity, has brought us the adrenaline blast movie that has been over the past ten years. Let the movie leave a lot of green background CGI technology. Take a solid shot of every explosion and the spout after every blood vessel is cut off. The actual explosion and shooting, the most realistic display of the purgatory of World War II. Using traditional old-fashioned shooting techniques and slowly spreading the plot, many people recalled the golden age of war movies.
"Attack from the bottom of the sea" (1981)
The film uses narrow scenes to achieve the unique atmosphere of a huge film, and is known as a classic submarine film. This film is indeed an ideal war film in my mind. It even surpasses the limitations of the genre itself, and also surpasses simple dualistic values and moral judgments (of course, it is by no means a film praising the Nazis). In describing human nature and reflecting the absurdity and inhumanity of war, he has reached a more profound and compassionate state.
The film quite faithfully records a section of the voyage of a German U-shaped submarine in World War II. From being ordered to set sail to search for and sink the British merchant fleet on the ocean, it was born to death through stormy waves until the end. Return to base. The camera is like the eyes of the audience. Be in it. But from beginning to end, I watched the dangerous scenes happen. From an entertainment point of view. The drama and tension of the movie are always present.
"Stalingrad" (2013)
is not a purely military film, it is Russia's first IMAX-3D giant screen film, costing a total of 30 million US dollars. "Stalingrad" is not only a story about a battle that changed the course of war, but also a story about how people adhere to humanity and pursue love in an extremely cruel environment.
The Battle of Stalingrad is undoubtedly one of the most ambitious and tragic battles in the entire World War II and even human history. It not only constituted an important turning point in World War II with Midway Island and Alamein, but also With huge casualties and destruction, desperate attacks and brutal killings are remembered by the world. A year of warFighting to grind the huge city into powder, the two sides launched a desperate battle on almost every inch of land. The average survival rate of the Red Army was no more than 24 hours, while the Germans would lose more than 2,000 soldiers every day. This battle eventually resulted in nearly 200 Wan's casualties resulted in a great victory and a tragic failure, and those fresh and fragile lives, in the face of the seemingly vast history, eventually reduced to empty numbers and notes.
"Hotel Rwanda" (2004)
The film comes from a true story. Paul Luce Serbergina opened a restaurant in troubled times. This restaurant is like an oasis for people to rest and save lives in the killing world.
The Rwanda massacre occurred in Rwanda in central Africa in 1994. The armed conflict between the Hutu government forces and the Tutsi Rwanda Patriotic Front was an organized The massacre was also called the Rwandan civil war. It was said that more than one million people were killed in this armed conflict.
"Black Hawk Down" (2001)
The most classic of the American war movies, the film successfully tells us: any justice or unjust war, bring only " cruel"! This film is adapted from a true story. The story took place on October 3, 1993, in Mogadishu, the capital of the politically turbulent African country Somalia. A special operations team composed of 120 special elites from the U.S. Army's Delta Force and Rangers was assigned to go deep into Mogadishu to complete a dual mission: to provide humanitarian assistance to the local people and to capture two senior generals from the Somali military government.
An accident happened. Due to insufficient preparation and intelligence errors, the U.S. military was surrounded. To make matters worse, two Black Hawk helicopters transporting US troops were shot down by the Somali army. All the officers and soldiers on one of the Black Hawks died on the spot, and the pilot of the other Black Hawk fell into the Somali army control area. The US military isolated on the streets of Mogadishu is anxiously waiting for the rescue force on the one hand, and on the other hand, it has to find a way to rescue the teammates on the Black Hawk.
"Hunting U-571" (2000)
Submarine naval battle movie, based on real events in World War II. Each ups and downs of the 105-minute full story is full of explosive power, and the tense suspense makes people almost suffocating. This is the magic of the story, and every minute cannot be overlooked.
US-French co-production super large production, cost 62 million, 300,000 kinds of sound effects are unparalleled, the visual effects of war scenes are lifelike, and the viewers are thrilled. At the same time, for the sake of realism, the director used real ships to shoot the whole film, and the 400-ton replicas fully presented the momentum of the scene. In accordance with history, the crew produced two American and German submarines with the same proportions and performance.
It’s been a long time since I’ve watched such an enjoyable war movie. Although it is an old movie, it should be done like this for war movies. There is no pretense, no pretentiousness, no love for children, because war is cruel, as a maximum reduction of war War films must of course promote justice, promote good and punish evil, and this film has achieved this.
"The Wind Whisperer" (2002)
Director Wu Yusen, one of Nicholas Cage's most classic movies. This is a film based on the Pacific War in World War II. The language in the wind refers to the radio waves that convey countless secrets in the war. Every wind whisperer carries high-level military secrets.
A good movie is a movie that I can’t breathe after watching it. It’s a movie that I can’t stand up from my seat after watching it on the screen, and I can feel it when I watch it on the screen. To the movie of my own heartbeat.
The above 10 war movies are recommended to those who have never watched them.
