Just before he was handed the Cecil B. DeMille Award at the Golden Globes, the able Charlize Theron star, Tom Hanks, called it a short sentence in words but eloquent in the sense: "He's working to make the world a good place," a fact justified by time. Which has seen a huge amount of achievements and works of art refer scolding the value of Tom Hanks in Hollywood, but it is almost its crowned king who spreads joy and happiness to the hearts of his lovers and is fully aware of what they like to see their brilliant star with the word of Meaning.
Diversity is the title of the career of Tom Hanks, it is not too late and he is clinging to a single time and a steady variety of roles and characters, he adored all kinds of cinema and penetrated through them like an arrow that strikes his goal and achieves his goal, sometimes you find it light shade and comedyna has the right keys to The laughter of the viewers, and sometimes swaying smoothly with the inherent nature of the roles of the drama no matter how difficult, and sometimes we find him alert and open-minded, trying hard to survive and get out of trouble as in the few action films he has participated in in the past years.
The last point in particular in which Tom Hanks scored one of his most important film marks, which is not without any list of the most important films in history,namely "Saving Private Ryan",through which he went wrong to the world of wars and fierce conflicts that give way cinematically to a greater prominence at the level of embodiment, and difficult challenges may climb to the ladder of success crane his shares in the Hollywood industry several degrees difference.
So Tom Hanks takes the opportunity and returns to the scene of one of his most important successes in the past, but this time not with director Steven Spielberg, but in partnership with Aaron Schneider, who has been missing the film industry for nearly eleven years, it is a bilateral return in a war project from the heart of the difficult events of world war II and on board a giant ship called Greyhound.
Greyhound Review
Greyhound, set in the early 1940s, is about Captain Ernest Klaus, who first drove an Allied convoy across the Atlantic during World War II, but finds himself embroiled in what is known as the longest and most complex naval battle in history, the Battle of the Atlantic, which saw the garrison squabble against Nazi U-Boats submarines.
Tom Hanks' screenplay is also based on christopher nolan's "Dunkirk" the memento, focusing on describing a historical event and realizing all its details about the conflict between its parties without defining the characters or their previous backgrounds, and that makes sense within this framework, which forms a two-hour limit.
So Hanks had to realize that the details of the event should be perfectly planned step-by-step in order to clearly describe the viewer who wondered whether Hanks could make a film from his own perspective or not, which he actually succeeded in contrary to all expectations, as he surprised everyone with a healing and adequate vision of the battle of the "Atlantic" and the accompanying pull and pull with the German enemy and triumphs, losses and difficult moments needs to act decisively from the character of Ernie in time.
Even on a dialogue level, despite its difficulty and being derived from the language of the sailors and their dealings with the language of the sea, it is impressive and creates a state of interaction with events and anticipation of the success of the convoy "Greyhound" in surviving the traps of nazi wolves, so the success of the film is attributed primarily to Tom Hanks, the author who knew the content of his film within a limited time frame meets all that the viewer needs to experience the event with the crew of Captain Ernie and also enjoy a new experience of the quality of the war movies that have a wide audience of love Her.
Directed, Aaron Schneider succeeds in designing battle scenes on good visual foundations, where the technology was specifically used as "CGI" technology to make the footage as if it were occurring normally without any external influence, as in the case of the selection of angles that show movement from above by drones and display the ship's state during rotation and escape from counterattacks from u-boats submarines, and its counterpart that brings the viewer closer to Captain Ernie during his movements and orders to the auxiliary crew, all of that, It demonstrates the perfect return for Aaron Schneider and a mentality aware of the ultimate form of the film.
"Tom Hanks" success as usual and without any trouble in the embodiment, succeeded in reversing the dimensions of the character in terms of seriousness and rapid handling of the circumstances surrounding him, and the improvisation of the appropriate emotions of relief after the success of his plan to repel enemy attacks and the break of the hour of loss of some of the crew members of the ship, a quiet performance simply linguistic in which "Hanks" did not need to make the double effort unlike "Saving Private Ryan", but that does not represent a negative point for him, but it is a favorite "Hanks" reappearance in a war film but a war In a role suitable for his age, where he can create and satisfy his loving fans.
In conclusion, he might have preferred to watch the movie "Greyhound" in cinemas, especially those that show films with the technology "IMAX" due to the dynamic momentum enjoyed by the film and full of series of battles war was carried out very carefully, but "Sony" bet on the success of the film on the platform "Apple" and received high viewership due to the starring of one of the most important stars "Hollywood" if not the most important currently, the result was very satisfying and adds the film in turn to a long list of films of war that have been very popular among audiences over the past years.
