      children of yellowstone

      During the period of the Anti-Japanese War when the Western heroism complex was substituted into China, Xiao Qiao's performance of He Ke was not outstanding, and the plot setting was also full of slots. The point where the eyes were swollen were the children in the movie. What makes people worry is not the devastation of Nanjing City, but the heart-piercing shouts of the crowd when they are pulled into the square with machine guns. Qing, who was always warm, hanged himself on the beam when...

      ideals and dreams

      This film has been in the book for a long time, and I haven't watched it. First, I don't like watching movies, and secondly, it is a more annoying civil war theme.

      The children of Huangshi, they finally reached the dream of Shandan, I don't know if only tragedy can reflect the excellence of a movie, I just hope that when we are about to reach the other side of happiness, we don't have so many helpless.

      I don't know if every person like him will be so happy when he is about...

      peculiar escape

      Watch it with many children in the lecture hall of Peking University. It's a very ugly film. The director is wrong. Let's change the director of the literary and artistic film. It should be much better. The so-called Nanjing scene in this film is just like that. Of course, it is disrespectful to 300,000 people. The director of the film "The Sixth Day" and "Tomorrow's Empire" filmed such an escape process without high technology and heavy weapons. But then again, what is the energy source of...

      Humane? ——The Children of Huang Shi

      After looking back, I found that there are still big names. Brother Fa and Sister Qiong have appeared in it, and I feel that the performance is still in place.

      But the overall feeling is that there are too many bugs, too many. How should I put it? The screenwriter does not understand history, let alone some fundamentals of history. For example, the New Fourth Army soldier played by Fa Ge does not really look like a New Fourth Army soldiers, or a small leader. Are there activities of...

    The style is too western 

    One of the major shortcomings of the film is that it is too westernized, especially Chow Yun Fat ’s behavior and dialogue, although it can be explained that his identity in the play is a "returnee" who has studied at The United States Military Academy , but the English sentence pattern The use of and the overly typical Western humor appearing on a NEW 4 ARMY of the National Revolutionary Army fighter is still unacceptable for Chinese...
