      go to your little one

      When I saw a movie review posted by a public account, I agreed with the title, and I was moved and gave up the sting. Originally, if you just said that the aftertaste is not enough, I may have to praise the film review for a good writing, but what is the matter if you have to step on it secretly. You are quite capable. How is the review process of this film review clear to you? Do you know that the director originally gave the qtbr flag a big close-up and deleted it? So let the compatriots...

      Controversy continues

      After many twists and turns, this much-received film was released in a long-awaited release, but even this version that has been modified in various ways has been strongly questioned and criticized by many parties, most of which are flawed. All focus on the restoration of historical facts and the cognition of sensitive positions. In fact, this has been separated from the discussion of the quality of the film itself, and has become a confrontation between standing in line and...

      This is a movie that made me cringe from beginning to end

      I give this film a 5.

      There is no need to praise the picture of Cao Yu's knife, and the acting skills of the actors are also acceptable. The portraits of Zhang Yi, Du Chun and Ou Hao are very good.

      The defeat lies in the sloppy plot and the overly sensational stage play-like presentation.

      (The following part involves serious spoilers, those who have not watched the movie should read it carefully)

      An absurd rotten film, this is an insult to the hero

      After watching the new film "Eight Hundred" released, it's a pretty good war movie, with blood, sacrifice, humanity, and a big scene of gunpowder smoke and flesh and blood. However, this is definitely not the 800 heroes in my mind, and I failed this film. The director wanted too much to show off his skills, too much to put in all kinds of metaphors and symbols, and the rest was the water-infused plot and the various deliberate conflicts and conflicts of Wang Qianyuan. But in...

      This kind of sensationalism, I accept

      Perhaps because of the epidemic, in the past six months, I have watched a lot of war-themed films, whether it is a world war or a very microscopic local friction in the peaceful era. The general feeling is that war-themed films are very difficult to shoot, and it is also difficult to watch. . The basic routine is nothing more than using big events to show the spectacle of war; or using small people/small events to show the cruelty of war; there is another category, which is...

      Even if it's only six hundred five or even four hundred Guanhu's lack of ability as a director, it can be seen that the camera language is repeated, the sound effects are stacked, and the sound effects are stacked. Trying to make emotional editing constantly reduce the impact group scenes are chaotic scenes. The relationship is unclear. Uneven levels, no movie sense A silent film is also considered a silent scene recorded with character shots, which is abrupt and unnecessary to use imagery....

      Ugh. There is a reason for it to be released. Well, at least it was filmed. I know that even many people in Shanghai did not know about this campaign before...

      I'll give it 6.5 points. There are still many bugs. The national army has no chance to kill prisoners. There is water in the warehouse and urine is needed. A person who just learned to shoot hits the plane immediately. The only command of the commander is to call the adjutant to replace it He directs... In the end, Ms. Flower of Evil will deduct...

      The tricks were written so extravagantly that both sides of the river, at home and abroad, and on both sides of the enemy, wanted to examine it. The most serious problem is that the point of view is scattered, the transition between paragraphs is rapid, the first half of the main line is in the deserter regiment, and the second half is moved to the upper-level regiment commander. The so-called tragic and solemn, the so-called family and country feelings, need to pave the way, but it can't rely...

      The cuts do bring up a part of the fragmentation problem, watching the movie and thinking about what it might look like. But the current version can still be watched. The handling of spatial relationships, the display of group portraits, and the expression of various emotions as much as possible make the film present a sense of heaviness and strong appeal. It lacks many domestic products in the past. The facial representation of war films. I find it...

    Evaluation action

    The idea and ambition of "The Eight Hundred" is to create a three-dimensional person. In the past, the protagonists of war films were either soldiers who faced the enemy head-on, or undercover agents who went deep into the enemy camp. However, the film started from a group of deserters. "The Eight Hundred" can be more and more popular in domestic war films, precisely because it "dare to shoot the truth of human nature, even ugly". The...
