[quote=JIMMYB,37693]First at all, Captain Miller appeared in front of the audience instead of his face, but the trembling hand----DO NOT Belittle this hand, it has important connotation. What does that mean?

Obviously, people always live in the fear of war, a long time war could hurt everyone, not only in their body but also in their mind. One side, the war give Miller a symptom----a similar result was achieved "Parkinson" syndrome of strange illnesses. Another side, this also implies that Miller is a veteran soldier, has experienced a lot of battles, and caught kinds of illnesses. This hand is the way of Spielberg. He is good at using small details to express a lot of things.

In the next screen, with the trembling hand, Captain Miller started to drink water. In this scene, when Miller brought water bottles, he "just" covered his face. You didn't know what he looks like.

Then after drinking, he showed his face. In fact, at that time, most audience are interesting in Tom Hanks, but not Captain Miller. This is a typical Hollywood-style business practices, with a series of shots to get the audience's attention, in a few seconds of time, figures show the dynamic patterns.Furthermore, Tom Hanks is very famous. He has a great appeal at box-office. He will give people a kind of excitement and expectations, and thereby achieve a director to suggest the following story for the role.

In Miller's facial features, we can see that his face had been through the vicissitudes of life and the barbarity of the war. In such an atmosphere, we can not see a face of innocent child like "Forrest Gump", nor a romantic one in "Sleepless in Seattle", only a tired face left. 
With this face the camera began drawing more and more faces in front of us. The camera captured their feeling to describe the imposing war.Then came the rumble of gunfire, the damage the water droplets raining down on the soldiers who landed on board. The battle could be triggered at any moment.[/quote]
