Feng-style films are generally linked to commercial films. . Although I went with the mentality of watching a documentary in the form of a commercial film, it must be a disaster film, but what I saw was more of a commercial drama, and it was more about family, the grievances between relatives. Bar. Some people describe it as a 5-minute disaster movie + a 130-minute family grief soap TV series. I think it's a 2-minute disaster film. After reading it, I also think that Feng Dao is suspected of secretly changing the theme and concept.
The earthquake process is too short, really very short, is it really only 23 seconds to account for it? The audience still hopes to see more about the process of the earthquake and the degree of grief, the struggle between human beings and nature, and everyone's tenacious struggle consciousness in the face of disasters. . . .
However, the content related to the theme of the movie is quickly passed by the camera, which is an explanation. . Could it be that Director Feng felt that there was no need to waste all these footage in documentaries? Anyway, I didn't see anything more real than the restored Tangshan earthquake that I had expected. . .
Although there are very few scenes that really describe the earthquake, the story is very strong and touching, and it can be regarded as a happy ending in the end.
Like a normal tearjerker, the mother gave the twin brother to the twin brother when there was only one tomato on the night of the earthquake. After the earthquake, when the mother was faced with a choice - the younger brother and the older sister were pressed on both ends of a concrete ceiling at the same time. To save one, the mother finally decided to save the younger brother, so the elder sister cried and hated, and finally did not die, but was kindly taken in by the People's Liberation Army. .
For 32 years, my sister couldn't forget the words her mother said at the time of the earthquake: "Save my brother", it's not that I don't remember it, but I can't forget it - this is the explanation of my sister's first open heart to her adoptive father when she grew up , with a little child-like hatred in the hysteria, the trauma of the young heart can be imagined.
I'm thinking, ignoring the entire background story alone, and singling out the 32-year-long non-searching and non-contacting of my sister, brother and mother, whether we can use the spoofed title of "Wuji" at that time - "a steamed bun bloody case", can this story be said - "a half-century cold war triggered by a tomato"?
After the disaster, the younger brother lost his left hand and went to Hangzhou to start a business by himself. He is extremely filial to his mother, because his mother gave birth to him three times, and later even his only son stayed with his mother because he was afraid that she would be lonely. .
After her sister was pregnant in her third year, she resolutely decided to give birth to a child. She had to break up with her senior and had to drop out of school. She had no face to see her adoptive father. She relied on tutoring and other work to support herself. Canada. .
When there was another earthquake, both my sister and brother had the ability to help everyone. They both rushed to the scene to give support. They met my brother, so I went home to see my mother. I saw that my mother had been torturing herself for 32 years, and there was a new house. Living, not enjoying the blessings, still living in a dilapidated old house, living in the ruins for thirty-two years, my mother always said - no, only know what is gone.
Seeing so many tomatoes placed by her mother in front of her photo, it would be a lie to say that she was not moved. This detail description is very tear-jerking. . . The mother knelt down to admit her mistake. The mother said that she had experienced great sorrow and great joy. The great joy was probably because of the sudden appearance of her dead daughter. Really strong. . After going to the cemetery to sweep the grave, the two mothers and daughters finally released their suspicions. .

Talking about the actor:
I like Li Chen, but I just like this actor, a very sunny sportsman Pieces!
Zhang Jingchu also has a very pure feeling in this film, but many people say that her aura and the tone of the whole film are out of tune. I thought about it carefully, and it was indeed a bit too foreign. When I photographed her, the picture changed immediately. A taste, but the acting is still ok.
Lu Yi's role is very short. I don't know why I saw Lu Yi pretending to be a college student, especially the part discussing abortion. Very irresponsible, and only cared about playing basketball. Chen Daoming slapped really well later. . Very relieved. . . After this film, everyone has to establish such a concept: fire, anti-theft and anti-fighting brothers!
The People's Liberation Army represented by Chen Daoming is also very positive. The image of a loving father is very good and selfless. Chen Daoming is an absolute idol of strength. . .
Xu Fan's acting skills have been experienced before, and they are awesome! cow. Although I'm not used to her Tangshan dialect, I don't know if it's her problem or the problem of Tangshan dialect itself~~~
Take advantage of the fact that you have just finished reading it, hurry up and reminisce, continue coding, and strive to become a film review. . .
Many people say that this film is too commercial, such a serious topic is here, how dare to place such a blatant advertisement?
. . I am a bit of a fool to watch it. After reading it, I realized what advertisements were embedded in it - the original bottle of liquor "Jiannanchun", the phrase "China Life Insurance", the white elephant battery, the BMW car, The ICBC passbook and the kappa sportswear were placed in advertisements, but I didn't really pay attention to the brand of the liquor that appeared so many times. . . It seems that Feng Daoshu is very popular. After the 500 million box office, there are many people who are jealous, there are also many people who are picky, and there are more people who are critical. . . .
At the beginning of the release, what I heard was more praise, moving, and tearing. . . When Feng Dao was touted high, there were many voices that came out with thorns. . How to say, things always have two sides, it is impossible to be perfect. . .
It can only be said that everyone expected too much from this film. Before watching it, it was due to high expectations, so after watching it, there will be a little disappointment! ! ! There are too few footage about the earthquake. Maybe the earthquake process is really only a few tens of seconds, but it has brought people hard-to-heal injuries for so many years, whether it is material reconstruction of their homes or mental pain. . .
—————————————————————————————
Summarize the overall impression after reading, the component of the real earthquake is too short, and the soap opera of family affection and grievance and hatred accounts for it. main.
1: I want to cry when I see tomatoes (actually, the pile of books in the section of the tombstone is a bit redundant, and the pot of tomatoes when my sister comes home can be expressed with great weight). .
2: Gathering of big names: Li Chen, Chen Daoming, Zhang Jingchu, Xu Fan, Lu Yi—— (I only remember these few)
3: When the palms and backs of the hands are full of meat, when the eldest daughter and the younger son are together (although they are the same size), when there is only one tomato, the mother chooses to give the tomato to the younger brother, (because he is a boy, or because he Is it a younger child?), at a critical time, the mother chooses to save the younger brother. (Is it just because he is a boy--a Chinese deep-rooted idea? Or because his younger brother is younger?)
4: In true love, when there is no room for thinking, the husband will protect his wife with his life. The husband's pulling action in the film, and the action of running to the dilapidated house afterward, were very touching.
5: A few classic lines:
Mother said: No, I know what is gone!
My sister said to my adoptive father, "It's not that I don't remember it, it's that I can't forget it, I can't forget it at all! (Can't forget the three words "save my brother")
My sister said to Lu Yi: ...you don't know me at all, I told you that I am from Tangshan, don't talk to me about sacrifice, how do you know what it is? sacrifice.
The younger brother said to the employees: You don't have to run for a small earthquake, and you can't run for a big earthquake. (staring at the lamp)
Mother said to the sky: God, you son of a bitch! (I have an impression of the English translation of the subtitles of the movie, I have learned a lot.)
My mother said: Which man will trade his life for me, (to love me), it is worth it for me to be his daughter-in-law all my life (nor deficit).
Daughter-in-law said: Don't push me too hard, be careful. The younger brother said: There are chickens, and there are no shortage of eggs.
The younger brother said to his daughter-in-law: My mother gave birth to me three times.
6: Netizens attacked the most in-place advertisements and the wrong text. (The title is the Tangshan earthquake, but the content of the movie is about aftershocks, after the earthquake!)
7: I remember some numbers: the year of the Tangshan earthquake - 1976 , The age when my sister gave birth to a child - 22 years old, the cold war in my sister's heart was fought - 32 years, the time for the real earthquake to occur may only be - 23 seconds! The death toll of the Tangshan earthquake in 1976 - 240,000!
8: It is necessary to reflect on the inferiority of human beings - forgetting, this moving, this tear, is it okay to watch it, is it okay to cry after crying? Is it possible to avoid a repeat of the tragedy when the next disaster strikes?
9: Dragonflies fly in groups——The irregular movements of animals should be paid attention to, and we should be good at observing and discovering the inspiration and signs of nature to human beings.
10: A movie is a movie after all. It is in China after all. There should be a lot of real things, ugly things, more tragic elements, realistic things, bad things, and disharmonious things. Dare not!
11: Comparing the foreign film "The Pianist" about World War II with China's "Tangshan Earthquake", it is also a story based on a family and a small person in a big event to see the big from the small —— Obviously It can be seen that the strength of Chinese directors is far from that of foreign countries. Domestic films are still far from the depth of foreign films with similar themes. . It's still a matter of depth. We have to face this problem squarely. I still think that the perspective of this film is too narrow, too short, not deep enough, and not enough to be a classic! ! Are our expectations too high? Are we asking too much? Are we being too strict? . . . Who made this a serious historical event~!
12: Dot - what should I say about this name~! Well, I just remembered, a little bit. .
13: People who have experienced earthquakes have a small experience: to see whether the earthquake is violent, whether it is a big or small earthquake, you can know by staring at the white hanging lamp on the ceiling.
14: In the movie, many life clips of the two brothers and sisters based on "telepathy" have been greatly deleted, so after watching the whole movie, I always feel that something is strange. Many neglected messages are only realized when I look back on them after watching them. Why is there such a seemingly redundant arrangement of shots, it turns out that the director is trying to tell such a message, and so on. . Knowing the general content of the deletion, I feel even more pity. .
15: The placement of advertisements is a test of the director's skill. It must be smooth, natural, not obtrusive, not artificial.
————————————————————————————————
Attached the comments and messages of netizens who I think are more exciting:
1: The Chinese director is very happy, and the domestic historical blockbuster is too good to shoot. Find a plot of "Mom Loves Me Again", and then deduct a theme of a great national disaster, and the box office will be ready.
2: Why are Chinese spiritual epics so easy to write? You don't even need to read history, can you just find a novel? Then why is it not called "Aftershock" according to its original novel, instead of "After the Earthquake" according to its English name, must be called "Tangshan Earthquake"? Because Yemen Erqing honestly called "After the Earthquake" in the heart of the producer, couldn't it have a high box office? So no matter what, use your name to deceive you into the theater first, and get the money first. Anyway, a movie that has a box office is a good movie.
3: "I only use the understatement of the disaster situation as 'the epicenter area suffered different degrees of loss'." - This sentence also applies to "Tangshan Earthquake". After wiping away tears, how many people will want to really understand Go through that history and compare what the film ignores and ignores.
4: Does the post-earthquake part that took more than an hour to describe truly portray the life after the earthquake? The son with a broken arm went out to work, and in a blink of an eye, he came back with a beautiful woman in a famous car. How many disabled migrant workers are so lucky? The daughter dropped out of school and wandered when she was unmarried, and then when she was happy with her child, she found a foreigner to marry and live in a garden house abroad. How many street girls can have such an adventure?
5: So after careful and strict adaptation and deletion, there is no more bad guy and no scandal in the movie. It's all misunderstanding and awkwardness. How good the world is, why there is so much suffering, of course, it is all God's bad. Everything starts from the needs of the leadership, and everything starts from the needs of the box office.
First replace history with fictitious family conflicts, and then use fairytale luck and reunion to reconcile these conflicts. In such a stereotyped "mind massage", people forget the real loss and accept the fictitious reunion. , left the theater contentedly, no longer thinking, no longer doubting, really thought that everything was over.
Because people subconsciously hope to forget the pain, forget the truth, forget the lesson, forget the responsibility, until the next tragedy comes. Then, cry, wailing, bury, forget, obliterate, tamper with, and then on to the next tragedy...and again and again.
If you only talk about heroes at the box office, no matter whether you have stolen history or not. It's no wonder then that we don't have the word honesty in our success studies. It's no wonder that we live forever in a falsehood, even the things we pay for to cry are false.
Pseudo-historical blockbusters are more terrifying than vulgar fantasy, which at least we know is fake. In the former, some people will know that it is fake, but after the children cry, they will think that it is the whole of history. So, after a few years, the truth will be buried, only the false will last forever, and one will be passed down forever.
6: "A stretcher? Where can I use a stretcher! The dead people are all soupy. They are put in the body bag. When a fork is inserted, they are thrown on the truck with the dead body-"--my grandfather said.
"That's 240,000 people. After coming out, I didn't even know what to fear. There were dead corpses on the ground. In the summer, they were all rotten and smelly. Everyone walked on the corpse. You know what it is to walk on the corpse. Feeling?" - my mother said.
"I threw the bread from the plane. Wherever it fell on the ground, there were still whole pieces, and they were all broken. There were also cakes baked by people from other places. The cakes were covered with hair on the plane. At that time, who would give you water to drink? At first, it was the water in the ditch. Later, someone divided the water, and they had to grab it and grab it hard, and then it was gone.” - My grandmother said.
7: We have no way to measure such a film by the standards of a commercial film.
First, this is not the way of a commercial film at all, who would do this? Shake for five minutes, then drag and dawdle for another two hours?
Second, you are really embarrassed to make such a theme into a purely commercial film? You yourself have no sense of responsibility for this, and in turn, you have to morally kidnap the audience. what is this? You have taken all the cheapness. Those of us who are the background, props, and denominators can't even cry? Or, we can't even get tired of being "crying"? Is it counted as "killing children"? Then I have to ask, what are you? After slashing the child, he pulled it out in blood to ask for money?
8: Others tell you how badly he cried after reading it, can you watch it? Don't see can there be a common topic? In the face of Feng Xiaogang, who is "invincible in the Mainland", the box office of "Tangshan Earthquake" is naturally the focus of the public's pursuit. It is also strange that Feng Xiaogang was born to be a person who likes to shoot guns.
9: The last time he made you laugh, this time he will make you cry. However, judging from the summary of historical experience, Feng Xiaogang is easy to miss in tragic movies. I don't know if this time "Tangshan Earthquake" can clear all this.
10: According to reports, the whole film of "Tangshan Earthquake" is actually 3 hours long. Feng Xiaogang deleted half an hour of life scenes, and almost all the telepathy scenes of dragons and phoenixes were deleted. In the future, the full version will be considered on DVD. Do "Fang Da" and "Fang Deng" have telepathy between the twin siblings? After watching the film at Wanda International Film City the day before yesterday, the film reviewers of this newspaper raised such a question in unison. In the film, the siblings haven't seen each other for 32 years, but they gave their children the same name "Dian Dian". Wang Zhonglei, the chief producer of "Tangshan Earthquake", responded yesterday: "Yes, they have telepathy, but this part was almost deleted by Feng Xiaogang."
Wang Zhonglei said that "Tangshan Earthquake" actually has 3 hours, and it was deleted. More is the part of the life of the two sisters and brothers, and there are a lot of buried lines, which were not cut in the end. "In the original script, the two brothers and sisters are very corresponding, and it is very strongly emphasized that the two of them are twin sisters and brothers. For example, when she goes to elementary school, he goes too, but the scene of Xiao Lichen does not exist. When his mother went to school with the child without an arm, his sister decided to give her real name when she reported her name." The most bizarre telepathy is that Fang Deng, played by Zhang Jingchu, has a headache, and his younger brother Fangda The hand over there hurts. Due to space and rhythm considerations, it was finally deleted. Both Zhang Jingchu and Li Chen feel very sorry and hope to see the full version on DVD. Wang Zhonglei promised that this is no problem, and they will release the cut pictures on the Internet after the film is released.
The most unfortunate thing to delete: Fang Deng gave up reunion with his family when he was in college
"My sister and I actually had a rubbing shoulder in reality, but my sister gave up." This deleted episode made Li Chen quite regretful. He said that Fang Deng, played by Zhang Jingchu in the film, reunited at the earthquake rescue scene. In fact, Fang Deng knew when he was in college that his brother was in the same city as her. "I rode a tricycle and pulled it to Mr. Chen Daoming. In order to thank him, I gave him a business card with my name and contact information on it. Fang Deng saw it and threw the business card away." Zhang Jingchu also said that he liked that scene very much: " I was crying on the train, when I talked about my adoptive mother being sick, my adoptive father buying a lunch box, and my adoptive father giving me this business card to find my relatives, but I threw the business card out of the window and let it drift away in the wind."
Wang Zhonglei very much agrees with Zhang Jingchu in the film Emotional accumulation towards relatives. Wang Zhonglei likes Zhang Jingchu's most quiet scenes. For example, her adoptive father said that she would go to Tangshan the next day, and asked her if she would go.
