If we're going to honor these people, we need to remember who they really were

A story similar to "Billy Lynn's Halftime Battle" is not as delicate as Ang Lee's, reflecting the different ways of thinking of Chinese and Western directors. But it means the same thing.

The son's point of view is more suitable for telling this story, but the first half of the content is the father's point of view. If it is a pity, this makes the look and feel a bit confusing.

With the music at the end of the film, the monologue of the title makes people cry. "Maybe there are no heroes in the world... Heroes are made up by us, we need heroes... If we want to honor these people, we need to remember who they really are"

    Stupid film, I thought it was invested by CCTV

    Except for using too much jump cut to disrupt the rhythm of the whole film, this film is good, and it is not a naked main theme at all: small aperture, low-contrast toning, and extreme cruelty to contrast the ordinary people's normality. , There is irony and reflection interspersed in the middle, a work of Dongmutou level.
