One of the major reasons for being optimistic about the assembly number at the beginning was that the story of the script was very good. This has always been a merit of Xiaogang that is very worthy of advocacy. Zhang Yimou has now made his movie story more and more illogical and negligible. Instead, he relies on big scenes, big stars, and big publicity from his buddies, but I personally think that he can only let him continue like this. His own path is getting narrower and narrower. Of course, it is precisely his current characteristics. I think he should have no problem with the opening and closing ceremonies of the Olympic Games. Xiaogang is different. His films always put a lot of effort into telling good stories, striving for completion, even in "The Banquet", they also use Shakespeare's script as the foundation. After all, Xiaogang started out as a New Year movie, and there are very few big stars in the film. Even Ge You can hardly say whether you followed Xiaogang's "New Year" fame or was originally a great wrist. In "Assembly No.", the story of the battlefield is very upsetting, not to mention the sensation of brotherhood and reclaiming reputation. There is such a story, and it is told by Xiaogang, which is enough to make people feel relieved.
One of the highlights of the film is the war scene. This is really the best war scene I have ever filmed in China. As I expected, another group of people jumped out and said this kind of scene "Saving Private Ryan", I've seen "Brothers" and so on. Brothers, making literary films, Europe is already very mature; making commercial films, Hollywood has matured bubbling; China should absorb their successful experience, including the handling of the battlefield, if you have to make Chinese directors shoot something that turns out We just shoot Peking Opera all day long, and Kunqu Opera. The question is, do you watch it? My understanding is different. When I think of "Brothers" in my mind when I see this film, it illustrates the success of this film in dealing with war scenes, because this scene has reminded you of classic war scenes, because of the previous civil wars. When I watched the film, I would never think of "Saving Private Ryan". I just felt a little absurd. Soldiers were shot by machine guns and there was not much blood on them. Soldiers on a plain seemed like a King Kong incorruptible body. Buried forward, the soldiers were not afraid of death or hardship and did not complain about the war. After the soldiers died, they were always intact and clean. In "Assembly," I saw the bloody scene, the blood that splashed when the soldier was shot, the person who was blown into two pieces, and the burned flesh and blood corpse. It’s not that I’m a bloodthirsty person, but this kind of war film is truly shocking. It allows you to experience the terrible war and the beauty of peace. When I see a group of people, it feels like war. It feels more like this when clamoring in the forum to fight this, and then fight that.
The comment on "Assembly Number" also encountered a problem, that is, "Chinese beat Chinese". Such a statement is really boring, and it is even more boring to criticize Xiaogang for beautifying this, vilifying that and the like. . We often complain that some things in life are too politicized and too boring, but we seem to be habitually politicized, and everything goes politically. Those who say how political the "Assembly Number" are, are they themselves too political and too sensitive? I didn't see any obvious bias in "Assembly Number". The film extols a kind of brotherhood on the battlefield. Of course, it must focus on a group to show their bravery and sacrifice. Is it necessary for the director to go for peace? To show this collective opposition in a corresponding focus? You must not be able to watch movies made like this. Movies like "Brother Company" also have a positive impact on the German army, but the theme is still on the E company. In order to highlight the main theme, of course, there must be some bias, let alone as a movie. Of course, commercial films that intend to make money must also consider a more secure way. Like the "300 Warriors" that I joked that Bush would definitely like it very much. In fact, the theme is also a very American theme. Although it is aimed at non-nationals, the film that vilifies the Persians is already outrageous. Compared with In terms of it, Xiaogang has handled it quite appropriately. Originally, Xiaogang could choose a more secure way, simply put his background in the War of Resistance Against Japan, and beat the Japanese, and everyone would be very comfortable.
Let us put aside those controversies and come to the battlefield of 47 flesh and blood against the army. 47 brothers stand on their ground. They also have a fear of death, they also have a desire for survival, and they also desire to hear earlier. To the assembly number. However, they are soldiers, they stick to their positions, stick to their duties, stick to their brothers. It is often said that before the battle begins, everyone is very scared and nervous, but once it starts, especially when you see your brother falling in a pool of blood, a kind of hatred and blood will make people extremely brave. Talking about whether they are so worthy, stubborn or stubborn, military order cruelty or cruelty are all afterthoughts for those of us who live in peaceful times. I believe that Liu Zeshui is sincere about Gu Zidi and those brothers’ guilt. As a commander, he has to make trade-offs at all times, making some people alive and some people dead. In the same way, he was also determined by similar trade-offs. And die. It is under a cruel background that the friendship between brothers is more sincere and moving.
Of course, I praised the film a lot, and I also want to talk about my personal feelings about the lack of the film. I feel that the most brilliant part of the film is on the battlefield. Not only is it a special effect that has a sense of the scene of the war, it is also about brotherhood. A performance full of tension. The post-war part seemed weaker, and I felt that the process from Guzidi’s demobilization to the fight for the brothers’ reputation was a bit rushed, especially because a group leader and comrades "covered" this process, which made Guzidi's process a bit anxious but There was no sense of ups and downs. In several places, such as the people in Guzidi Chong County who were maddened and stubbornly looking for the remains of their comrades in the coal pile, they were just unfolded, and they were immediately taken back. Originally, Xiaogang could make these parts more colorful. My personal opinion is that the rush of the post-war part is related to the length of the film. The film is only about two hours long. There is too little time left for the post-war period, and it also makes it too late for the director to unfold more stories, perhaps longer. Half an hour will make Xiaogang more comfortable.
At the end of 2007, Xiaogang did not bring us the "New Year" laughs that we have been accustomed to for many years, but brought us full of shocking and moving brotherhood. Xiaogang's "New Year" this time is still wonderful. It made people feel the blood of 47 men in the cold winter, and saw how manly a soldier named Guzidi is, how manly perseverance, enough, it gave me So many movies are enough, I am looking forward to Xiaogang's next story, I am looking forward to Xiaogang's next coaxing, his cowhide, I believe it!
