As an unthankful middleman, I have always believed in the so-called independent thinking and freedom of speech.
There are three parts in this article, like points of this film, doubts of this film, and points worthy of vigilance in this film.
Recently, there has been a lot of rumblings, and I will try my best to click as far as possible where the G point is touched.
I have already given it to Samsung. If the navy comrades are still dedicated to scolding, please be more vigorous. I happened to take a screenshot to hit your hot spot.
Worthy of praise
"Wolf Warriors 2" can give 4 stars or even 4 and a half stars if it is commercial film standards.
>The theme is novel and suitable
A lot of action films on the subject of evacuation and rescue have been filmed abroad. From "Tears of the Sun" a long time ago to "Special Forces" filmed in France, it seems that this genre is already standard in major countries, and China is indeed worth having.
It seems that Russia and the United Kingdom have also watched it, but I don't remember the specific title.
For more positive comments, please refer to numerous articles on navy. The discussion on this point of view is actually quite rigorous and in place.
Of course, this is exactly what I will worry about in the third part of this article.
> The story line is smooth, especially in terms of industry standards for action movies. Even if compared with the new (rotten) movies of some old Hollywood stars, it is not inferior.
Leng Feng left the army because of forced demolition and wounding, and he lived in Africa looking for clues about the murder of his girlfriend. He encountered a coup and turned into a lone hero. Although he was not saved as a doctor, he saved a self-healing girl and met a Chinese-American. The beautiful doctor, who happened to kill his wife and enemy in the rescue of the employees of the Chinese-owned factory, after a bloody battle, experienced bloodshed and sacrifice, and with the help of the Chinese navy's timely action, he finally saved everyone. If this story is changed to an American cast, it is probably fine to develop it in Hollywood. It is nothing more than the lens of the fluttering Stars and Stripes being replaced with five-star red flags fluttering in the wind.
>The overall production level is excellent
Of course, the big background is that the production level of domestic movies, especially domestic action movies, has been fully improved, which should basically be comparable to the Hollywood level. This can be explained by the real evaluation I heard when I was in the cinema. What's interesting is that not only "Wolf Warrior 2", the recent domestic development of "Operation Mekong" and "Extraordinary Mission" seem to have received similar evaluations. It seems that the internationalization of the production team can indeed standardize the production level. Of course, this is also related to the latest "Xtreme Agent III" and "Fast and Furious 8" beginning to show fatigue, and the more they shoot, the worse.
>Maybe the beginning of a big IP
Chinese Kufu Movie seems to have been a mature and enduring action movie genre in the Bruce Lee era, and "Wolf Warrior 2" may also mean more possibilities.
The Wolf Warriors Movie
In fact, there are a lot of heroic movies in action movies. I like the "007" series that is older than me, the "Bourage Bourne" series that has been following the show for ten years, and Tom K. Lacey series ("Hunting for Red October", "Patriot Game", "Browhead Pursuing", "On the Moment"), etc.
Of course, I did not list the "Huang Feihong" series, "Young and Dangerous" and "Ip Man" series because the reason is very simple. It is the background of the times and the background of the protagonist's identity. There are few such heroes in previous Chinese movies. There are knights, big brothers in society, famous generals in ancient times, and masters of martial arts. However, a hero created by our army who belonged to the roots of Miaohong after the founding of the People’s Republic of China has never been serialized, so Director Wu may be pioneering A big IP.
From the selection of Leng Feng to the top special forces in "Wolf Warriors 1", he has created a rebellious but very sense of justice. The Wolf Squadron has provided enough mysterious background, and the dark line of Long Xiaoyun buried in the first episode With the addition of the phone call at the end of the second episode, it is basically certain that "Wolf Warriors 3" is just around the corner. From the border guarding in the first episode to the protection of global interests in the second episode, it can be seen that the "Wolf Warrior" series is or will be created as a globalized "Chinese power and Chinese heroism" adult fairy tale.
If only commercial films are concerned, this is a very successful layout for Director Wu.
Don't talk about Wu Jing's age. After Harrison Ford is old, Jack Ryan can also change to a small piece of fresh meat and "On the Moment" again. If one day the cold front can't move, there will definitely be other comrades in the Wolf Squadron who will come forward.
> Probably the most successful implant marketing in recent years
Starting from the Chinese milk in "Transformers" and "Independence Day 2", most Hollywood blockbusters about "Made in China" implant marketing are a bit embarrassing. Foreigners don’t know. Chinese people should be a laugh. I feel sorry for those who have spent a lot of money. Brand owners. Of course, in "2012", the Chinese can build the Ark so quickly and so well, maybe it is the correct way to open it into Hollywood.
And the brand implantation in domestic movies seems to have started to fall into a vicious circle of embarrassing everyone who wants to plant, anyone dares to plant, and everyone is embarrassed after Feng's "Big Name" and "Mobile". However, the Kweichow Moutai, Beijing Jeep and AGM rugged mobile phones in "Wolf Warrior 2" did well. As a necessary prop, it is naturally deeply integrated into the shaping of the characters and the advancement of the plot. In this regard, Director Wu completely critically strikes a certain 400 million points.
The above is based on commercial films. I think "Wolf Warriors 2" itself is worthy of praise. 4 stars or even 4 stars are well-deserved views.
Worthy of consideration
The next few points are more questions and curiosities raised from the perspective of a military movie by a "pseudo army fan" who has not updated his knowledge for more than ten years. I guess I answered some of the questions myself, and some have not yet answered. If there is a great god, please leave a message for discussion.
>Underwater fighting
The brave fight against the pirates at the beginning is indeed very eye-catching, but is this director Wu's martial arts team inertia? From the underwater unarmed combat textbooks and videos I have seen before, they basically use close back joints and restraint techniques to suffocate and drown the opponent. Can punches and kicks really work in the water? The resistance of the water is so great, I don't know if the fists and kicks of opening and closing are so destructive, I look forward to the guidance of an expert.
> Chinese scrapped cars all over the street
I don’t know if you paid attention when watching the movie. Except for the new BAIC cars that were obviously implanted in advertisements, many of the cars that were marked as scrap in the gun battle were Santana, Santana 2000, and even Jiefang trucks that we are very familiar with. It is said that Director Wu was patriotic and transported many old cars from China. But what are the considerations for this detail? Is it cheaper than the local second-hand car? In Africa, most of them are used cars sold by the Japanese. At least a few years ago, the statistics were still like this.
>Mattress block RPG
In the movie theater, I heard many people whispering. I thought it was impossible, and I was a little curious.
The grille armor anti-RPG is an internationally accepted experience, but the grille armor or reactive armor seems to be just additional armor. The purpose is to detonate in advance to prevent the metal jet of the shaped charge. After the rocket is detonated, the main personnel protection is still the main protection. Armor right?
But think about the RPG that has repeatedly appeared on the battlefield and did not explode when it was shot into the soldier's body.
So it may not be impossible to convince yourself to use a mattress. As a commercial action film that doesn't need to be so rigorous, ok.
It is 19,000 times more reliable than seeing those flowery men holding guns with unlimited ammunition on the big screen.
>AK and RPG will always be good friends of the people of Asia, Africa and Latin America, especially the African brothers
The background of "Wolf Warriors 2" is in Africa. This is a place where AK47 will be painted into the national flag, so the whole film is full of AK figures. However, from the two vents of the handguard and the front sight guard ring plus Director Wu’s domestic product plot, I guess most of them should be 56 punches, right? By the way, it is impossible to take screenshots in the movie theater, and IMFB is indeed inconvenient after being walled. I hope that military fans from outside the wall will bring it back.
In the film, Wu Jing did a one-handed magazine change, but not in the shooting process, 80 points. Secretary Dakang used his popliteal joint (that's the socket on the back of his knee) to change the clip after his injury. It was obviously more handsome. 90 points. But no one wants to demonstrate the one-handed uninterrupted shooting skill that has been blown to the sky by Chinese military fans? This is a bit disappointing.
However, the maintenance of AK in Africa is so poor, don't you need to pick it before using it? It's good even to explain to a lens. I have watched a documentary about PMC (that is, a new generation of licensed mercenaries). It is said that only about one-tenth of the AK in Africa can be used safely and with accuracy, while the other 90% are due to the age. Or poor maintenance and very unsafe, there is a very serious risk of jamming, blasting or even disintegration during shooting...
Fortunately, Director Wu was only filming in Africa instead of Leng Feng really fighting in Africa, otherwise it is really worrying...
> Why is Dakang Secretary so fierce?
This question was raised by a girl sitting behind me in the cinema. If I don't want to do it, I was a little surprised to see so many girls in the cinema to see them together, so I once again quoted my evaluation in the first part of this article. As a commercial film, "Wolf Warrior 2" is undoubtedly a success.
In the film, Secretary Dakang introduced himself as a scout in the Southwest Theater, the Southwest Theater? That was the last war that China publicly participated in. The so-called scout is properly the old generation of special forces 1.0, and Leng Feng can also be said to be the scout 2.0 version. In the counterattack against Vietnam, there are many legends about the scouts who can be Baidu on their own, but knowing a live, boasting record after drinking is indeed the embryonic form of special operations.
But there is a question here. Our army has been reforming for decades, but the tactical actions of Leng Feng and Secretary Dakang are the same? And they are all exposed to mold CQB? Forget it, I won’t go into details. After all, our army neither recognizes the imaginary enemy as mold, nor does it recognize the role model as mold...
>Tank bayonet
From the reaction of most viewers, it is very good, but fans of the pseudo-military will say that they are a little confused.
Even with the addition of reactive armor, the hemispherical cast turret feature made the Soviet tanks back again. I guess the five pairs of road wheels are T-55 or domestic 59? Coupled with the domestically produced infantry fighting vehicle used by both pros and cons, I guess this is also "Made in China". After all, we also provide a lot of military assistance to Africa.
I can understand how to grab a car and a gun, but a tank with a bayonet of tens of meters or even zero distance makes me very worried about the safety of Leng Feng and Secretary Dakang. The last time the weak side armor of the body was used to block the gunhole and the whole car was safe. Is this the protagonist's halo? Did the rebels use HE or AP? Well, standing back to the square, Secretary Dakang seemed to hit the rebel tank with an armor-piercing projectile. The enemy tank didn't explode the fireball, but is there no fragmentation damage and shock wave damage at such a close distance?
Another detail related to the tank, is it really fearless when the muzzle rams into the building, or is it not well-trained? If the wreckage of the building enters the barrel, it will blow up and there will be no chance to appear... Forget it, this point of detail has appeared in many movies at home and abroad, but it is the detail that the turret hits the wall back and then often appears in Russian war movies.
>What did the brave Chinese navy shoot over?
To be honest, seeing the 052 (subtype I didn't recognize the subtype) of the navy formation launched a missile vertically was indeed excited for ten seconds, but then there were endless questions.
Looking at the initial shots, the only cruise missile disclosed in the China Aegis vertical launch unit is the Shenjian 10, which is a robust cruise missile. I can only guess that the slim projectile in the screen is good at one and more. Our navy fired anti-aircraft missiles.
Can air defense missiles attack the ground? There seems to be a precedent. For example, we converted the outdated Hongqi 5 into a short-range ballistic missile, and Russia tested the S300 against static ground targets. The track of the bird's-eye view shot is obviously the high parabola of the ballistic missile. In addition, the two missiles in the shot of the missile hitting the rebel tank accurately concentrated the two tanks, super accurate! Then, after so many missiles hit, even a pit as big as a washbasin was not exploded near the impact point, and it was definitely an anti-aircraft missile.
It's not that cruise missiles really don't need to consider the issue of collateral damage, because the impact point is indeed a little closer to the old warehouse where the good guy is hiding, at most 50 meters. The Red Arrow Ten, which is sinking vigorously, is about to face the dilemma in "Eye of the Sky".
However, the problem is coming again. Air defense missiles, especially fleet air defense, are basically guided by radar based on the Chinese Aegis or infrared guidance at the end. Is our army so embarrassed that the area air defense missiles have also been equipped with satellite guidance systems? Because the only clue to the reaction in the film is that Leng Feng uses cell phone signals to give satellite coordinates.
The next explosion scene is even more confusing. The missiles accurately focused the rebels and exploded fireballs. I'm probably ignorant. Whether air defense missiles are used to hit planes or intercept missiles, they are basically killed by proximity fuzes or by inertial impact, right? Fragments are not effective against heavy armored targets like tanks, and the inertial impact will not explode those red and yellow fireballs that obviously add a lot of gasoline...
This question lingers in my mind so far, a god who can explain it reasonably, please come and rescue me.
The explanation I approved is as follows:
You are right about this question. Yesterday, a netizen who studied missiles did a professional analysis. He thinks that the movie is very reliable except for the unreliable yellow fireball. The principle is not fragmentary damage or the like, it is the huge inertial damage of the parabola. As for the crater, he thinks it does have traces, but it is not necessarily a big crater... In fact, as a fan of the pseudo army, it is good to have a reasonable explanation. , There is no need to hold each other
> As for the second generation of waste wood army fans and rich
For those of you who have read this section carefully and are searching for evidence on your own, this person writes you and me in addition to being rich, Ye Gonghaolong’s war enthusiasts. The romance in my head when I didn't hear the sound of the guns, I was the first to wet my pants on the battlefield.
Worth pondering and even vigilant
>A declaration from unofficial channels to abolish the policy of keeping a low profile and biding time?
It's been a long time since I haven't watched the news broadcast and it is a bit out of touch. Has Chairman Deng's proposal of keeping a low profile and biding time has officially withdrawn from the stage of history? From the news program with my dad as the background sound, I vaguely heard the news about the military parade and the August 1st Medal awarding ceremony mentioning the protection of the country’s global development interests. The naval supply base in Djibouti, Africa, which has been discussed for a long time, is indeed a reverie.
>How should China and Africa get along in the future?
Although in the film, through the lines of Secretary Dakang, it is said that Africa is beautiful, rich, and there are girls, and there is fire and party time. However, the background of "Wolf Warriors 2" reveals almost the world's stereotypes of Africa: deadly infectious diseases, poverty, and wars.
Of course, at the national level, the China-Africa Forum is China's first. Recently, there has been a national Belt and Road initiative. Obviously, the future development will be very good. (Please note that the words used here are in full compliance with the latest regulations.)
But what exactly China's interests and image are in Africa is obviously worthy of more discussion. (Anyway, I am not qualified or able to expand.)
> China's position in Africa is so detached?
This understanding of the Chinese people has a certain basis, and it has also gone through a long historical period of propaganda, which can be regarded as deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
The first is China's assistance to Africa. There is no doubt about economic, medical, cultural, and even military assistance.
The second is the recognition that the status of the five major council members of the United Nations is indeed a transcendent capital. China does not recognize that many things cannot be done, although this recognition may be two-way on some issues.
It’s munitions and military training again. The public data is more than US$100 million in military aid, and common African students in domestic military academies.
The next one is a little gray, that is, Chinese people can do business and be human. If you don’t talk about it, you can see the overall administrative integrity of Africa based on the ranking of the United Nations Global Integrity Index. As for why the Chinese are so comfortable in such an environment, we won't talk about it.
But how common are the violations of Chinese people in Africa? I will not start it. Just ask friends who have assisted foreigners there.
>The rendering of the Chinese passport at the end
The theme of "Wolf Warrior 2" is the evacuation of overseas Chinese! This is a matter of course as a big country.
Beginning with the pride of being a Roman citizen in the past, it should be a necessary responsibility of a big country to protect its citizens all over the world.
In recent years, our successful evacuation of overseas Chinese in Libya, Yemen, and Sudan has indeed given citizens a greater sense of security.
However, at the end, if you talk about a Chinese passport, except for those who have never used a passport, they will probably have more psychological activities.
In addition, I am a little untimely thinking of the bloody anti-Chinese riots in a Southeast Asian country in the 1990s. (This incident has hardly been reported in China, but it is not the first time in the country's history, I just hope it will be the last). According to Hong Kong media interviews with witnesses, many compatriots who witnessed that time changed their passports with blue covers, because the protection of Marine Corps soldiers during the war was more secure. But maybe this is the message that "Wolf Warriors 2" wants to convey?
Although we know that Director Wu was robbed in South Africa, the most developed in Africa...
> Excessive consumption of national emotions is a very dangerous thing!
Needless to say, this point can probably be felt in the "Wolf Warrior 2" forums of almost all network platforms at various shift steps.
At first I thought it was a low-level navy hype, but it was really scary to spend some time studying those speakers.
Patriotism is OK! Populism is dangerous!
Okay, I will stop writing here and do not start, after all, I hope everyone can see it.
To reiterate again, welcome to the navy to spray, one-star and five-star random, I happen to take screenshots to enrich this article, by the way, touch your hot spots!
