"Nanjing" in 2007, "Zhang Chunru - Nanjing Massacre" in 2008, "Rabe Diary" and "Nanjing!" in 2009 Nanjing! "... Over the years, there have been a series of films about the Nanjing Massacre, so some people expressed that they didn't want to watch them, because the topic was too heavy, and they didn't need to watch to know what the content was. In fact, looking at the West, the film expression of World War II and the Holocaust has never stopped, and the films represented by "The Reader" have entered "another level of reflection". However, films about the Nanjing Massacre were hindered by many factors and never effectively opened up the international situation. Perhaps in the eyes of most foreigners, China has never appeared in their field of vision, let alone a historical event that was indistinct, 70 years ago, that is another world at all. Compared with similar themes in the 1990s, the current themes of the Nanjing Massacre have changed. They are no longer committed to the voice of the main theme, and they have also gotten rid of the unified voice of suffering indictments and patriotic education, and instead seek more reasonable and effective It actively opens up the international vision and obtains a wider range of communication (just like "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling" which invited Christian Bale to play the role). As early as the end of 2008, there was news that Zhang Yimou was going to film "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling", but he suddenly stopped. The reason is actually very simple. As long as you look at the Nanjing theme of the crash in 2009, Zhang Yimou's choice to quit in time may not be a bad thing. While watching "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling", the audience involuntarily thought of "Rabe's Diary" and "Nanjing!" Nanjing! ” and compare them, it is only natural. In this case, what are the differences between "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling"? In the film, the war and the Holocaust appear more in the background, and there is basically no positive mention in the second half. "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling" is more like a girl's oral story, emphasizing the presence of the characters at the scene. There was a hail of bullets in the opening scene. What it wanted was to bring everyone into the church quickly, otherwise, from the perspective of the play, the street fighting and the church part would be broken. Faced with a major historical theme, Zhang Yimou did not dare to take risks, and instead found a safe way to express it, that is, to show the due and lofty human glory in the tragedy, and a group of prostitutes completed the rescue mission. It would be a little too naive if all this brilliance came from John. If it was from Instructor Li, it would be against historical facts. In front of the Japanese army, the foreigner's face does not work, and the Chinese army does not work. The film gave John the image of the savior that the audience expected, and told them through a hungry wolf attack that in that case, John was not a god, but only a human being. The prostitute was at the bottom of the society, and was ridiculed by the ancients "I don't know the hatred of subjugation thing. As for his occupation, it is difficult not to be reminiscent of Japan's Oscar-best foreign language film "The Undertaker". Like Yan Geling's original work, the movie came to an abrupt end, and no unfinished scenes were added. This may not be a very good way, for example, there is no room for reflection, but it is definitely a safe way. In the face of the tome "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling", Zhang Yimou can no longer play tickets like the first two movies. If he showed a little frivolity, he would definitely be whipped and scolded. To a certain extent, "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling" is quite smooth, the story is smooth, the motivation is reasonable, and no character has obvious shortcomings (the negative example is Gao Yuanyuan in "Nanjing! Nanjing!", etc.). At least some people will say that Bell's role does not seem to be outstanding enough, and Cao Kefan's role seems to be too common. In addition, there are no major loopholes in "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling". No wonder Zhang Yimou felt that he had come across a good script. In my opinion, "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling" is a work without edges and corners, just like its female high school soundtrack, which rises from time to time and directly sensational. Judging from the taste of the soundtrack, Zhang Yimou and his old friend Chen Kaige are surprisingly similar in aesthetic taste (just as "The Orphan of Zhao" also trades life for life). In the face of death, in the girls, Zhang Yimou bet on the future expectations of the country and the nation, just like the thirteen hairpins saw their past self in them. Although he didn't say it directly, anyone with a discerning eye could see it. In the eyes of young girls, in terms of the ethical value of life, and under the shadow of the massacre, "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling" found Zhongyun's narrative expression, which is politically correct. Many people, out of prejudice, out of disgust with Zhang Weiping, and out of disgust with the early stage propaganda of the film, extremely rejected "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling". Of course, it's not a flawless classic movie, it's more of an eclectic, universal value, straight to American-style humanitarianism. However, it's definitely not a bad movie. This is true of the 2011 Chinese-language films, and it is also true of Zhang Yimou's work system. 【First Financial Daily】"Three Hairpins" is quite smooth, the story is smooth, the motivation is reasonable, and no character has obvious shortcomings (the negative example is Gao Yuanyuan in "Nanjing!
