whole film is composed of many "contrasts". The comparison between the warm care of humanity in the church and the corpses outside the church; the comparison between the
face of the ruffian in front of the false priest and the responsible and responsible person behind; the thirteen hairpins began to selfishly rob the cellar and the chivalrous and tender people behind them sent to death instead of the students. Contrast; the soldiers began to withdraw, and then fought bravely against the enemy and sacrificed their lives for righteousness; Mr. Meng wore a traitor's sleeves, but later he risked his life to bring tools for repairing his car and donated his passport; the church's little man was small and weak for his age. However, Ling Ran is full of big men's righteousness and responsibility. In order to protect the girls because of his adoptive father's entrustment, he finally entered the death-destroying team in order to make up the number. There are also thirteen hairpins in a dusty dress and the pure taste of short hair and blue robes. In contrast, Mo Yu's calm, airy and responsible contrast with his sisters, the contrast between Mo Yu's disdain and disgust at the beginning of the false priest and the later love for each other.
Every part of the film is the protagonist. The plot design and the actors' performances make every part of them so touching and full. There are too many people commenting on Mo Yu and the fake priest. Today I will only talk about the supporting roles.
The soldier charged the tank with a human shield. The scene was particularly impactful. At the end, the squad leader used his wisdom to kill the enemy and perished with the enemy. The squad leader watched the children outside the church. He shot and saved the children at a critical time. The squad leader was about to die. Pu Sheng was sent to the church to "die in a warmer place". The bravery, wisdom and chivalrous tenderness of the soldiers are fully displayed in this group of shots. There are not many war scenes in the whole play, but it is fully expressed. In the tragic and solemn mood, there is a faint joy of soldiers and Japanese soldiers fighting wits and courage to destroy two groups of enemies.
The little men in the church don't speak much, but they are particularly manly. He held the bamboo penny to prevent the thirteen hairpins from climbing over the wall, but later he took the initiative to ask the fake priest to find the two sisters who had slipped out to get things. Asking the fake priest to stay as a shield for the church, there was one less place for girls, and he strongly urged himself to take his place in the death squad. All this is to fulfill the priest's entrustment. What an admirable man! The escaped cook Lao Chen, who was the only adult man in the church, set off the tall image of a little man very well.
Why can Mo Yu offer to sacrifice her life to protect female students? Because she was also a student in a church school before she was 13 years old, to protect her students was to protect her former self. If the daughter of the false priest is alive, he is also 13 years old, and he is protecting his own daughter. These details of the film play a very good role in promoting the development of the plot. Pu Sheng was sent to the church, which not only showed the tenderness of the soldiers, but also caused the death of the girl who later took the pipa Xuan. The tragic experience of the sisters aroused the hatred of Mo Yu, and also made Mo Yu prepare feelings for the death of the female student who had never known her life. Base. The girls ran away from the cellar at a critical time, preventing the thirteen hairpins from being discovered by the Japanese—this made the thirteen hairpins who were not allowed to enter the students at the beginning blame themselves and were moved. The rendering of the aura of the big sister Moyu has paved the way for the sisters behind her to agree to send their children to death together. Every little detail lays the foundation for the heart-wrenching climax of the film at the end, making people feel that the decisions of the Thirteen Hairpins are natural, not too abrupt or contrived.
In Nanjing, where corpses are everywhere, these underclassmen who are not dignified enough to make people despise, bring the warmth and hope of the audience with the brilliance of human nature.
