After watching "October Besieged City", Sun Yat-sen's narration is still in my ears, and I have been thinking about this kind of problem between the individual and the greater self these days. The film is an anthem of small people and ordinary people, and the farewell scenes of the traffickers and pawns are particularly shocking. They were thrown down by tigers and wolves and stepped on like weeds. These people are undoubtedly patriots, but they have never met Sun Yat-sen, are not relatives, and they don't even know who to protect. It looks confused, but actually doesn't care at all. They love their relatives, trust their friends, someone pays them, and they are willing to be bodyguards, that's all. Regardless of whether they actively participate or are passively involved, even if they are deterred by the dangers of the road ahead, they will have to survive that hour.
Someone would be very surprised. This is obviously a blockbuster commercial and entertainment, with Donnie Yen’s enjoyable play, and Li Yuchun Battelle, a group of topical characters. How can you start talking about patriotism? "October Besieged City" is just such a film, it has everything that it should have, and the things you look forward to can't get a full mark, but it must be enough. There are real street battles in the film, as well as strategy-oriented outflank breakouts, and more freehand tragic knights. Absolute dazzling, no self-repetition. The extra touch and thinking it brings will benefit the audience a lot, even if it is the two father-daughter loves in Donnie Yen and Li Yuchun, it is completely convincing and moved. There were a few more concise and concise debates about why China and what the revolution was. It was not easy to tell, and it was conscience. Conversely speaking, "October Siege" certainly has flaws, which may lie in too long forging, shortcomings in a certain character, plus or minus points for action scenes, but these are different from person to person, and it is not a big problem.
The stories of Chinese blockbusters have been photographed from thousands of years ago to modern times, and finally make people feel that this has something to do with our current lives. This topic can use the American spirit in Hollywood movies, emphasizing the individual, emphasizing emotion, and not just preaching. "October Besieged City" talks about a broad Chinese spirit, which is not too difficult to accept (existing history textbooks are enough), and it sweeps away the haze of the main theme and the great movie. What the little people are doing seems to have nothing to do with history, and they don't know the future events until they die, but they try their best to complete their own tasks. Not for generosity, but for death.
Li Chongguang said that as soon as he closes his eyes every night, he sees the future of China. With Sun Yat-sen's small tearful eyes, "October Besieged City" closely echoed this line. It turns out that what we are here here is "China's future." He seemed to see it, they didn't see anything. Hundred years have passed, only to feel that reality is much crueler than movies. Until Sun Yat-sen's death, he still left the regret that the revolution had not succeeded. Where is China's future? It's a pity that there is no bifurcation in history. Where is the future of Chinese blockbusters? I think "October Siege" gives another excellent and precious sample. 【Nandu Weekly】
