The grapes used are big and thin, so how could the grape juice not taste good? Sweet and thirst-quenching, the taste buds on the tongue also have room for aftertaste, but no matter how delicious it is, it is only grape juice at best. I have written criticism of "Tangshan Earthquake", but I have never said that this is a movie that cannot be watched. After all, at this stage, I have watched the summer files and the films before and after "Tangshan Earthquake" one by one. It is indeed not too bad, and it may even be better. However, taking last year as an example, the box office of the Chinese film market hit a record high, but when the best of the year was selected, it was discovered that different films had their own flaws, and it was really difficult to avoid criticism. The problem happens to be here. I am standing on a movie, and what many people are arguing about is no longer a movie-instead, it is necessary to divide the camp, either left or right.
So the good and bad of "Tangshan Earthquake" is a cognitive difference. If you put the film in a collection like "Longing" or "Mom Loves Me Again", it is good. Save your daughter or save your son, live for the dead, and guard the collapsed home in your heart. The emotions of the characters in the movie completely follow the Chinese tradition of ethics, and it is easy to impress you. But if you put the film in the blockbuster collection of "Titanic" or "2012", then "Tangshan Earthquake" is clearly a family drama about family relationships. After three to five minutes, there is no "blockbuster" in the promotion. "shadow.
Feng Xiaogang can do better instead of self-satisfaction. He must be touched. He can accept the praise of Shanhu Tsunami and the vain box office. Then this criticism is nothing. In the eyes of friends, Feng Xiaogang is poor in storytelling and camera skills, and "Tangshan Earthquake" is already his best level. You can't see the depth of field changes, voice-over space, montage editing and other artistic processing during most of the film. Therefore, Hangzhou in the 1980s is no different from today. The image of New Tangshan is bluntly inserted, and the encounter in Wenchuan is really dog-blood. All plot development relies entirely on constant dialogue, which fails to reflect the inner transformation that the characters should have-not to mention the serious distortions caused by the implanted advertisements.
The Chinese are prone to awe, fear of authority, and absolute obedience. Regardless of whether it was intentional or unintentional, the "Tangshan Earthquake" precisely captured this point. The national crisis cannot be humiliated, supplemented by blood kinship, and if there are criticisms, it will be weakened by three points and lack of confidence. What's more, for digital enthusiasts, everything in this world is linked to numbers, like house prices and oil prices, so box office has become the only criterion for confirming the value of movies. "Tangshan Earthquake" has a box office, so it must be good. Every time I hear such a statement, I really want to suggest that they take a walk on the street to see if the best-selling golden song on the copycat machine is the number one in "Love Sale". What's more, the Director of the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television once said that the box office is politics, and what you see becomes more complicated.
If you want to drink a glass of grape juice, then "Tangshan Earthquake" is enough. If you want to drink vintage wine, Feng Xiaogang's local production method has not yet solved the problem. 【Yangcheng Evening News】
