      "Tangshan Earthquake": Just a Movie

      "Tangshan Earthquake" is about to launch the Imax version, "Tangshan Earthquake" has a lot of embedded advertisements, "Tangshan Earthquake" promotes new Tangshan and Hangzhou... "Tangshan" has never stopped questioning whether it is selling ethnic scars or not Sincere tribute? These complicated business practices seem to make people feel that while "Tangshan" is raising its moral high, it is full of low-level business interests behind it.

       In addition, in the face of imax, stunts,...

      The movie shook more than 23 seconds

      Before entering the theater, I was ready to cry a lot, but I still didn't expect that I would start crying from the beginning of the earthquake 5 minutes after the opening, and I cried from the beginning to the end. Well, I admit that my tears are low. I'm also thinking, maybe it's not the emotions the movie brings to me, but the event itself. Just like the shoddy "Earth Shaking", I started crying from the very beginning of the earthquake.

      Give this movie 5 stars, not just because I'm from Tangshan

      The first weekend after the release of "Tangshan Earthquake", I went to the theater to watch it. The overall feeling of the movie was better than expected. If I was not from Tangshan, I would give 4 stars to this film; in reality, I am from Tangshan, so I gave 5 stars. I was born in Tangshan in 1981, and I never saw the earthquake in 1976. When the earthquake occurred, my parents were in Beijing and Shijiazhuang respectively, and luckily avoided the earthquake. My grandmother, uncle, aunt...

      One more cut!

      This knife slashed myself.

      I had high hopes for this movie. In other words, I had high hopes for Feng Xiaogang. Because almost no one tells stories as seriously as he does now. You can see what Jia Zhangke is doing. He uses a 90-minute movie to play with a few concepts, and when he has no time to make a documentary, he invites celebrities to play fake documentaries. His ideas are good, and his concepts are sharp, but he is impatient and feels that there is no need to tell a...

      untitled

      The plot and rhythm of the whole film are protracted, the performances and emotions are single, the false special effects are not dangerous, and the pretentious soundtrack is from beginning to end. The excessive use of close-up and slow motion, for fear that the audience will miss the key point, is sensational and low-minded, which is annoying. The Chinese title is actually an advertisement. The two characters of Tangshan are depicted in red on the left, which is quite unspoken, while the...

      Definitely not going to see it. If you have the spare money to read a fictional story, you might as well donate money directly to the victims of the flood this year. Natural disasters are not used to earn box office! ! despise!...

      Strong earthquake 23 seconds, aftershock 32 years. Leaving aside politics and business for a moment, Feng Xiaogang has indeed dedicated a tear-jerking family warmth drama. That sentence is very good "living is the...

      Although the original is a third-rate novel, it has a clear story and a wonderful structure. Under the influence of various factors such as speech restriction, censorship system, and personal understanding and self-cultivation, a chaotic fifth-rate script has been created, coupled with the director's vulgar taste, blind command and scheduling, cheap and cheap sensational methods, and improper three. Views and flawed professional standards have turned into a perfect one-star movie. Xu Fan...

    Behind the scenes gags

    The filming of the "earthquake scene" does not require rain, but it rained a lot a few days ago and the crew had to wait, but the cost was greatly increased. The film crew rented a British machine called "Motion Controle". The rent is more than 30,000 yuan a day, and two British assistants cost 1,000 US dollars a day. Originally planned to rent for 5 days, but due to rain, it was delayed for nearly 6 days, and more than 200,000 yuan...

    Prop collection

    In order to restore the life landscape of Tangshan in the 1970s, the creators of "Aftershock" faced a major problem, that is, the amount of props in the film was very large. So director Xiaogang Feng came forward at a press conference in 2009 to call on people across the country to donate supplies from the old age, and the film crew formed a separate team for this. Later, through communication and cooperation with Huayi Brothers, I...

    Evaluation action

    "Aftershock" is not a mere disaster film, nor is it a spectacular special effects film. Although its earthquake special effects scene is very shocking, but director Xiaogang Feng's focus is obviously not on this. From the dragonfly flying in the sky before the earthquake to the horrible ruins after the earthquake, this process only took about half an hour, and the aftershocks of the soul two hours later are the main content of the...

    Movie quotes

    • Dong Guilan: The two of you are the ones I care most about in my life. But you both... never wanted to be with me.

    • Fang Da: Be on your best when you meet my mom later. If my mom doesn't like you, we'll have to break up.

      Xiao He: Huh. Am I getting married to you or your mom?

      Fang Da: My mom gave birth to me three times.

      Xiao He: What do you mean?

      Fang Da: The first time was when I was born. During my first year, I caught pneumonia and nearly died. The doctor said not to save me, but my mom insisted otherwise, that was the second time. The earthquake, the third time.

    • Li Yuanni: But I'm against it precisely because of your dad and elder sis. The last time we moved, I had to tell them exactly how to get to our new place. And I've been telling them constantly for more than 20 years. If I were to move again, I would've to tell them the new directions. I can't keep telling them anymore. I'm tired of telling them. End of discussion. I'm not moving anywhere.
