"German madman" Herzog came again, this time he directed a thrilling escape from the Lao jungle, instead of Fitz calado in the South American rainforest; It is not a documentary that has been introduced for many years, but a Hollywood blockbuster with the theme of Vietnam War. The blueprint of "Seeing the Light" comes from 1997 Herzog's documentary "Flying High". The protagonist Dieter is real. He died at 200 1. The film is specially adapted from a real event, telling the story of a German who wanted to fly and joined the US Navy as he wished during the Vietnam War. He was shot down and captured in the line of duty, and sent to a prison camp to look for opportunities to escape with his friends.

At the beginning of the film, Herzog used a set of bombing shots taken on the plane. The Vietnamese village below was blown up by sparks and debris, and generate showed a beautiful murder in green. These pictures, like the "teaching films" watched by soldiers in the film, are all from the documentary of 1997. In the documentary, old Dieter appeared to tell the story of the jungle 30 years ago; The drama "Seeing the Sun Again" highlights his immortal belief in escape. When the protagonist is in the endless rainy jungle, the film reproduces the common theme in Herzog's works: the confrontation between man and nature and the indestructible will.

Herzog was so attached to the story of pilot Dieter that he made a bold move and re-edited the documentary into a drama. Seeing the Light is a prisoner of war escape film with good viewing effect, which is dull and shocking. The defect is that it is too close to Hollywood style from beginning to end, which makes Herzog fans at a loss. However, even though Dieter's autobiography and Herzog's documentary are in the forefront, there are still people protesting the authenticity of the details in the film. In the movie, a character Phisit stole three pairs of shoes and ran away, and the corresponding real character was considered to be another prisoner of war Pisidhi. This Puszti and other relatives and friends of prisoners of war who failed to escape from the jungle jointly set up a website called "The Truth Behind the Movie", calling the screenwriter of "Seeing the Light" ridiculous, saying that those three pairs of shoes are not edible, and if you have time, you might as well get some rice and salt.

In historical fact, Dieter weighed less than 80 kilograms after being rescued; Therefore, it is necessary to mention "Batman" Christian Bale's efficient slimming method-of course, he also contributed perfect acting skills. In "The Machinist" in 2004, he was very thin. At that time, this guy who was so obsessed with acting that he was a little crazy actually asked for a reduction of 90 kilograms. After being rejected, he appeared to be less than 1 10 kg, which is surprising and admirable-this weight is 2/3 of his normal weight. After the fight, he regained his normal weight. As a result, he played a tortured American prisoner of war in Seeing Light, and he was skinny-Bell's weight went up and down, which really made people sweat for him.
