Photography, visual effects, and mise-en-scene are first-rate, but the concept and core are not. Sun Yuanliang led the national army to withdraw from Shanghai, leaving only 420 people to defend the Sixing warehouse, and embezzled 260,000 yuan for the construction of fortifications. With few people and no money, can you fight without being miserable? Fighting badly, the goal of the national army has been achieved. Therefore, the essence of the defense of the Sixing Warehouse is that the national army uses these 420 people to prove that the national army is "still holding on", and sells misery to pray for international intervention. Eight hundred are just their pawns, kept in the dark from beginning to end. News pays attention to truthfulness, accuracy, fairness, comprehensiveness and objectivity, and the same is true of movies about real events. This film focuses on eight hundred to defend the four-line warehouse, but it takes a single stroke to the indifference and corruption of the senior military officials. This is one-sided and taken out of context. It is meaningless to make a war film that does not explain the background of the times. We not only need to know that they fought a war, but also why they fought, and also know the story behind the battle. Zhang Yi was a deserter from start to finish, without any growth. Jiang Wu and Wang Qianyuan's lines can be written more advanced. Raising the flag is tragic, but not in line with historical facts.
