Just as love is the eternal motif of literature, the national complex is the Achilles' heel of our time, the real national hatred is mixed with ideology as a means of domination, the history in uppercase and lowercase is mixed with sensationalism, preaching, or direct stabbing. The irony of the human heart and the war that has fermented for more than half a century can touch people's nerves at all levels. So much so that when Donnie Yen recreated the scene of wounding several people with his bare hands on the screen, the original impulse of revenge flooded his body happily in the name of national hatred, and I was only a Chinese person, but I couldn't hear the slightest bit of sensational words. ideological taste.

Just as Jiang Wen kept telling us about a different Cultural Revolution, a different Anti-Japanese War, and a different rightist in his films, Li Zhao is also a different translator. In fact, there are so many different ah, but it is more real.
A mature commercial movie is not only the box office, it is not only the psychological satisfaction of the audience's battered movie watching. While making a lot of money, it will tell you some common sense and cause some unconditioned reflex fluctuations in your nerves.
