关于珍珠港电影英文观后感(9)
观后感2018-06-23李天扬老师
There's more to this so-so movie, including a completely formulaic subplot
starring Cuba Gooding Jr. as a ship's cook who boxes and machine-guns his way to
r-e-s-p-e-c-t (loosely based on a real person, Doris "Dorie" Miller), and Hans
Zimmer's relentlessly syrupy score. But let's cut to the chase: those central 40
minutes of blitzkrieg special effects. Isn't that why people will be lining the
block? My take: The visuals are well done but not mind-blowingly memorable. It
would take a director far more gifted than Bay to outdo James Cameron in
"Titanic." Perhaps intimidated by this, Bay gives us many scenes featuring
marooned men in the water, and many others stuck inside majestic, sinking hulls.
And when the Japanese planes strafe those men, he goes underwater – like Steven
Spielberg did in "Saving Private Ryan" – to show the cool, glossy white
trajectories the tracer bullets make underwater.
