This [Big Bombing] is no different from an absurd comedy!
Sometimes, you have to admire the lighthouse country on the other side of the ocean, because it can indeed handle some seemingly trivial things, such as letting me watch [The Big Bomb] recently.
Watching the 97-minute American version of [Big Bombing] (rumored that the mainland version is 132 minutes long), you can get a glimpse of its ambitions .
The group portrait expression of soldiers, civilians, and Japanese invaders, the special time point of the Chongqing bombing, the interspersed three story lines... All kinds of designs are intertwined, and it is impossible to say that it is "atmospheric, high-end, and high-end"!
This kind of subject matter, this kind of story, this kind of volume, is properly [Saving Private Ryan], and again, it has to be [1942].
But after watching [Big Bombing], what do I feel? One word, mess !
Such a heavy subject matter, messed up by the [Big Bombing], coupled with the fiery rumors.
Man, this [Big Bombing] is no different from an absurd comedy !
01
absurdity
[Big Bombing] The tone has been set from the very beginning, with a black and white historical image at the beginning and a bloody photo at the end, echoing the beginning and the end, if it is a sense of history .
But this so-called heaviness completely collapsed with the development of the story.
To sum up, nothing works. The quality of the movie is close to the "anti-Japanese drama" (it's just worse than others).
Let’s look at the main event first – air combat.
As the fist of the movie, air combat meets the requirements in at least two points, one is the length, and the other is the combat effect.
Looking at the length, can you imagine a movie about bombing and air combat, whose air combat component only accounts for one-ninth of the length (for a movie that lasts nearly 90 minutes, not even 15 minutes).
The limited ten minutes of air combat, each time, try to compress it within 4 minutes, and evenly divide it into the beginning, middle, and end.
And most of the plots separated by air battles in the movie are short in parenthood and long in love between children, which directly dilutes the cruelty and excitement in limited battles.
The space is small and delayed, and the main event is malnutrition.
As for the effect, the perception is flat, and the emotional contrast is not in place.
I really don't understand why when my anti-Japanese fighters were brutally killed by the Japanese army, a passionate and progressive soundtrack was played. Is this with the Japanese army or our army? !
Especially in the 30-second air battle in the opening chapter, all our soldiers were killed in battle, and the Japanese army on the opposite side cooperated with the tense and high-spirited soundtrack and kept fighting. ? ! ! !
And the visual effects, huh, I only take screenshots and don't talk, everyone enjoys it for themselves.
At the same time, the plane confrontation is not the two groups in the traditional war, the rifle is pulled and the machine gun is slammed. There are advanced and backward planes, and the advanced ones can kill people quickly.
[Big Bombing] Only be sure to kill people, and make a fuss about it, so that our side is death, death, death, and the enemy is joy, joy, and joy.
But for the more shining points such as air combat skills, model gaps, and personnel quality, the [Big Bombing] has almost gone overboard.
Looking at it this way, the [Sky Hunter] who was scolded miserably last year is actually better.
At least people know that there are marshmallow tactics and sonic booms, and they will use the J-20 to scold them. They also know how to fight systematically and guide precision strikes on the ground.
And it is said that it only cost 200 million. And the [big bombing], at least 350 million.
The air combat is bad, and other places can make up for it, but the problem is that it is not normal.
The characters are flat and emotional, and when they say they are restless, they are restless; when they say they hit people, they hit them;
The character change is also abrupt. Teacher Fan, who has been saddened by the death of his son, smiles when he finds out that someone has raised him; he just got a new plane after a fight, and he calmly sends his opponent off the battlefield... [Big Bombing] It is a one-off approach, and it is a wonderful thing in the Chinese film industry where bad films are produced in large numbers.
Of course, the characters are all nervous, and the plot setting and story direction are even more nonsense.
The film uses three main lines and multiple branch lines to link the entire [Big Bombing] story.
The decoder line of the truck transportation line is the most troublesome. On the way from Wuhan to Chongqing, the planes bombarded indiscriminately, but the trucks could not be bombed, so I was very lucky.
The pilot played by Liu Ye recovers from his injuries and does not return to the team. He is actually a spy on a secret mission...
The military transport truck actually carried a professor and a kindergarten teacher halfway along the way... In today's words, there is no sense of confidentiality.
Finally "kindly" brought the spy into the car, knowing that the spy was a bad guy and dragged him all the way. The spy is also interesting. He won't do it when he has time to destroy the decoder. He has to wait until he gets to Chongqing to expose it.
Pilot Liu was also amused. He kept driving with the spy he suspected. He thought it was because he couldn't drive, but at the end of the movie, the car was very slippery...
There are also details like this:
[Big Bombing] Only one of the main lines is rotten like this, and the other two can be imagined, let alone the branch lines.
The good anti-Japanese war positive energy movies collapsed in this way and became the butt of absurd laughs.
And all this can be expected...
02
off-screen madness
Turning the clock back to 2011 (which is quite a long time ago), a film project called [Chongqing Bombing] was launched.
In 2015, the film was renamed [The Big Bomb] and officially started filming. On November 7 of the same year, Beverly Hills, Hollywood, completed the celebration.
Then there was no news... Until this year, the news exploded, and Shi Jianxiang ran away, Cui Yongyuan exposed money laundering, and the movie was released and cancelled...
A movie can be so crazy off-screen, one can imagine how unreliable this movie will be in terms of content.
The original script is responsible for editing the big boss, let me compare what kind of movies can be as bad as [Big Bombing].
But I thought about it and found that most of the bad movies don't have a point in [Big Bombing] - ambition.
If you have ambition, you will invite so many actors, if you have ambition, you will want to show the Chongqing bombing in a panoramic view.
Which lousy film dares to play like this, which lousy film can have 350 million to play like this, which lousy film can invite so many actors and stars to accompany it to play?
[Big Bombing] is estimated to be the number one in the Chinese film industry.
Of course this is not a bad thing, at least it represents the low level of Chinese movies.
In the future, if you want to brag that you have watched a lot of movies, you can bring [Big Bombing], because you have already seen one of the worst blockbusters in Chinese.
