The way of lens language in the film is very post-new wave. Pushing the lens is used a lot in the film. The same kind of lens is also more common in Godard and Hitchcock's films.
The symbolism of the lens participates in the creation of the film. In this film, the lens is particularly obvious not only to record and reflect the truth, but also to match the theme and purpose of the film and participate in the creation. For example, the advancement of the scene, the creation of a confined space to oppress the audience, the raw cut of the lens, and the use of the flash lens.
The solemn atmosphere created by the film is particularly good, the shots are clean and pure, the big vistas and the soundtrack are seamless. The soundtrack is very well used.
All in all, not bad.

    The film is by no means denying the revolution or showing the objectivity of the so-called revolution or resistance movement. On the contrary, facing the reality of the resistance movement directly reflects the inhumanity of war and the greatness and humility of being a resistance fighter (revolutionary).
