"The Taiji Flag Flying" starring Zhang Dongjian and Yuan Bin is the famous Korean director Jiang Digui after "Trout", who used 4 Another masterpiece prepared in years. The film cost as much as 13 billion won, and it has attracted much attention since the filming began, and it also sold a full house at the Cannes Film Festival that year.
Unlike Chinese films, whether commercial or artistic, public or niche, they like to take advantage of the "problems" of the common people. Korean films, whether they are comedy, farce, action or love, show a strong national complex. The most important historical event of the Korean nation, "Flying the Flag of Taiji", brings their national complex to the extreme. The depiction of the thickness of history and the reflection on the war are all condensed under the national complex. From the war scenes in the big scenes to the emotional scenes in the details, the audience can undoubtedly feel this strongly, which is also the attraction of this film. A major emotional tone.
The war scene alone can be said to be a successful model of Hollywood war blockbusters. From the big emotional tone to the specific shooting and production, a large number of war scenes are combined with touching human details. The participation of 1/3 of the CG computer technology in the later stage makes it as enjoyable as American blockbusters. The difference from other war movies I've seen is that the focus on individuals is very delicate. The thrilling war scenes will be as subtle as the tragic scenes where a single soldier is injured or even brutally killed, not just a single one. A war scene is presented in front of the audience in a chaotic and flat plane, but it is so bloody, so real, so cruel, so tragic that it is almost appalling - such a war scene has never been seen before, and has never been seen since. I have experienced it in detail in war films: it turns out that war is so cruel, so terrifying, and so inhumane! ! ! The impact of such a small picture on the audience's mind is far more real and in place than the blindly big scene. There are too many people to reflect on and appreciate from it, such a shock! Even tears can "shock" at any time...
And what dominates the war scene is the feelings of the little people-the true brotherhood, the family relationship between mother and son, wife and children, comrade-in-arms friendship, and the intricate contradictions between morality, justice, human nature and interests. , A little emotional, not contrived, making people ponder while weeping in the sadness.
The fate of the little people and the tragic war are superimposed together. With the deepening and changes of the war, the fate of the characters also changes with twists and turns. No matter when, the little people appear so fragile and insignificant in the face of the cruel war. The rope can't be controlled by oneself at all - such a feeling of fragility of life and feeling of emotion are constantly rolling in my heart as the film is played. From time to time, the fate of the people under the war has caused me to think about the war itself. Even now, I can't understand what happened to the Korean War that happened more than half a century ago. The national complex manifested everywhere in the film made me have to rethink the nature of this war: even if we are all educated by the orthodox revolutionary history, we should tolerate and absorb more. Re-measure and think about one thing from another angle. Therefore, this kind of film is really at the level of making a film that can cause audiences, especially foreign audiences, and Chinese audiences who have been connected to and can't stay out of it. Rethinking about this Korean War . What kind of shooting level is this? ! What is the level of screenwriting? ! What is the height of thought? !
The film does not portray heroes, it is very real, the characters are flesh and blood, and the emotions develop normally, without the artificiality and deliberateness of Chinese films. But the natural flow of the plot can often achieve unexpected effects, making people cry. Of course, the actors in it, not only starring Jang Dong Gun and Yuan Bin, but also many supporting roles are really touching, and their acting skills are very impressive. Therefore, from all perspectives, the film has reached a very high level, a very deep depth, a strong shock, a strong ideology, and a strong viewing experience.
After the film ended, it reminded people of many chapters, so I wanted to have a more comprehensive and in-depth understanding of this war that is about to be forgotten by today's hot men and women - this is the effect that a good film should achieve. Let me ask which war is in China today Can a blockbuster reach this level?
