      To them who defend their homeland

      A Wolf Warrior has aroused a high degree of patriotic enthusiasm among the people, and Wolf Warrior 2 has achieved an unprecedented high box office. Red Sea really borrowed this shareholder wind, and with such a good schedule as the Spring Festival, it is impossible for the box office to be bad. In fact, I didn't want to watch such a bloody film on such a festive day as the Spring Festival, it's actually quite inappropriate. In the past, during the festival, when the TV was on and there was...

      "Operation Red Sea" Idealistic Patriotic Action

      Let me analyze my views on this film from two angles.

      1. Actors' acting skills

      Since I am a non-professional actor, I can't see professional things, so it is purely a review of my own feelings. There are not many protagonists, Hai Qing, Zhang Yi's acting skills have always been guaranteed, and Du Jiang's appearance is not outstanding except that I sigh, um, my father is also there. The ones that surprised me the most were Tong Li played by Jiang Luxia...

      I don't think it's good

      I don't think this movie is very good. First of all, I wouldn't compare Red Sea with a certain wolf, because the two films have completely different emphasis. A certain wolf talks about personal heroism, melody, sensationalism, and pursuit of action vision. It can even be interspersed with funny bridges, and realism is just a further pursuit under the previous themes.
      The Red Sea is a realistic war genre. The first thing is to portray reality, highlighting the cruelty, bloody, and shocking...

      It's a movie and life (there are spoilers, be careful)


      Because the themes are similar, it is inevitable that Wolf Warrior 2 and Operation Red Sea will be compared together. In general, both of them tell you one thing, no matter where you are, as long as you are Chinese and you are in danger, the motherland will rescue you at all costs. But the reality is that the rescue of the motherland must be in the interests of the overall situation. Sometimes, it...

      real movie

      Operation Red Sea is a Chinese movie. Why should it be emphasized that it is China? Because now, Chinese film and television dramas and movies are generally labeled as something that uses traffic to garner popularity. The audience is just making a profit, but this movie is different. The most important thing is that it shows a form of our Chinese navy, and even the whole world's soldiers. The director showed us the iron bones with extreme seriousness, and people can't help but be in awe of...

      It's really shocking. I watched the whole process with blood boiling. It's worthy of being a big producer. I also like Jing Yu, which is the icing on the cake....

      With the support of the military, the audience can see real war scenes and infinitely enlarged patriotic sentiments. It is bigger than the scenes of "Mekong River", but the story is not as good. The main line describes the action and also taps the role, highlighting the importance of team tacit understanding. It is a pity that the documentary technique and the arrangement of group dramas make the viewpoints and clues messy, the story rhythm is poor, and the heavy accumulation of action scenes...

    Movie plot

    Outside Somalia, Chinese merchant ships were hijacked, some crew members were killed by pirates, and others were taken prisoners. The Jiaolong commando responded calmly, sneaked into the merchant ship and carried out a surprise attack, successfully rescuing all the hostages. Sniper Luo Xing was unfortunately hit by a spinal nerve while chasing pirates, and the missing position was replaced by Gu Shun.
    On the way back, the political...

    Evaluation action

    The film embodies the heroic spirit of Chinese soldiers and the spirit of the rise of a great power, pushing Chinese military-themed movies to a new height. It does not regard the individual heroism of single-handed combat as the spiritual commanding heights of contemporary People's Liberation Army Navy officers and soldiers, but instead focuses the lens on the collective power. The fine control of emotion logic, action logic, and the...
