Based on the adaptation of "Railway Guerrilla", Jackie Chan brought his comedy style into this old red classic. Of course, the railway anti-Japanese re-decorated with humor makes "Railway Flying Tigers" glowing. A brand-new vitality, but it has to be said that the exaggerated scene props make the film unable to jump out of the shallow pool of an action movie.
Under the foundation that already has a true story and a classic blueprint, "Flying Tiger" is undoubtedly superior in innate, just like the legend of the medic who saved dozens of lives alone in "Hacksaw Ridge", A railway guerrilla team that has been active behind enemy lines and achieved remarkable results in real history will not make people feel the random fabrication of the movie's plot, but can realistically reflect the national cohesion and demonstrate the unyielding perseverance of the Chinese people in the face of aggression wars, so Even though the old "Railway Guerrilla" had a particularly deliberate revolutionary optimism, I personally think that it still looks like a pertinent work today. From this perspective, the newly edited "Railway Flying Tiger" is different from many real The anti-Japanese "God" films are fundamentally different.
In terms of plot conception, "Flying Tigers on the Railway" does not have much novelty, but Jackie Chan's kung fu humor and the burden of many jokes make this new work more entertaining than the old version, and many people may think that War and comedy should not be confused, but in fact, whether it is the domestically produced "Sanmao Army", or "Welcome to Dongmo Village", "Tiger's Mouth Escape", "The Great Dictator" and other classics from other countries, they are actually very good. Combining war and humor, although the combination of "Flying Tigers on the Railway" is still difficult to match these masterpieces, it is better than "Raise Your Hands!" ” such a ridiculous smear of Japan.
Although "Flying Tigers on the Railroad" does not have such bridges as tearing devils by hand, and there is even a self-deprecating self-deprecation that bullets can't turn around, but internally, this work actually doesn't have much dry goods, and what it does is still It's just an exaggerated Jackie Chan action comedy. There is also a bright plank road in it, a dark selfish desire to hope for his son's comeback, seemingly climaxing turns, and even so-called easter eggs, these Hollywood comedy routines. It is still used, but the film lacks the focus of the cruelty of war. This focus is the sigh of Sanmao looking at countless tombs after taking off his military uniform. It is also the respect for life in Dongmo Village that transcends ideology. Although Flying Tiger can be entertaining and passionate, these should not be the real focus of a war comedy.
Objectively speaking, I also laughed when I watched "Flying Tigers on the Railway", but if a war movie with real historical precipitation is adapted today after a lapse of nearly 60 years, only laughter and blood will be left in the end. , I think that such a war movie has actually lost its true meaning.
