You can't, let the tears be connected to the truth

The opening locusts are flying, the subways are intertwined, and the innocent dialogues of children are quite subtle and blockbuster. The context is clear, and the details are simple but breathable.
The world collapsed in an instant. Among the films in the name of the earthquake, there was only the story of one family, and thousands of dead people passed by in a flash. It is rare to see the big from the small, and there are also projections of individual fate on the whole society. However, such a small to cover the big makes the collective memory unbearable.

The Tangshan municipal government invested 60 million yuan, and the embedded advertising in the film was worth 100 million yuan.
Even if there are zero opinions and 100 million box office, in any case, Feng Dao can no longer connect tears with reality, and it is even more difficult for people to connect deeply.

After watching "Tangshan Earthquake", I still don't know the social life in 1976, 1986 and 1992. No one can tell me the truth. We all forget where we came from and what kind of situation we came from. to today. In this film, I can't see those things either, and in the lush, inexplicable tears, I'll forget what I sometimes want to think and look for.
July 28, 1976, at 3:42:53.11, Beijing time, China.
Tangshan, China - 118.1 degrees east longitude, 39.6 degrees north latitude, in the earth's crust at a depth of 16 kilometers from the ground, a violent explosion 400 times stronger than the atomic bomb in Hiroshima, Japan occurred - a strong earthquake of magnitude 7.8 on the Richter scale, just a few seconds later , Tangshan was in ruins, more than 656,100 civil buildings collapsed and were severely damaged, 242,769 people died, 164,851 people were seriously injured, and the direct economic loss reached more than 3 billion yuan. The earthquake death scene is extremely tragic and rare in the world.

Did Director Feng really shoot such scenes where the mountains and rivers were pale, the sun and the moon were dull, and the people were killed?

In the face of natural and man-made disasters, what should we do?
cry?
Shouting "God, you're a bastard"?
Can man conquer the sky?
Those who are covered up are right and wrong, did Feng Dao really excavate and show us?

Sorry, I didn't see it.
After crying, you rearrange and rearrange the film and find it lackluster.

Of course, you must cry.

If you are a girl who is sensitive and easy to cry, your tears are about to fall from the moment of the big earthquake. How tragic, red light suddenly appeared, thunder bursts, the world fell apart in 32 seconds, blood flowed into rivers, corpses were like mountains, Under the ruins, there are broken hands and broken legs, and there are only two lives under the cement board. Mixed with the mud from the movie, your vision is blurred.
If you are a woman with a child, then when Yuan Ni is crying and crying, holding her "sacrificed" daughter's guilt and heart-piercing pain, your tears will fall involuntarily. What's more, when the 7-year-old girl who escaped from the dead and woke up from the pile of corpses did not pretend to be pitiful, was not happy or sad when she was adopted by an officer, and had a silence that did not fit her age, how could you not be moved? Woolen cloth? And when you want to send Fang Da away, Yuan Ni's hunched back, your tears are like a surging river.
If you are a man, then Fonda's performance will definitely resonate with you, the mother's nagging, the youthful energy Fang Gang, "The dolls in the valley have all gone to Shenzhen, I have never been to Shijiazhuang" , from riding a three-wheeled wheel to becoming a company boss, driving a BMW, and marrying a beautiful, empathetic, smart and virtuous woman. The heroic image of successful people. There is also Fang Deng's adoptive father, whose restrained and explosive military temperament will also make you appreciate. There are too many laughs, and the next cry, your eyes are wet.

Intensive crying points hit you like tear gas. Those common beautiful emotions were torn apart in front of you because of the earthquake, resentment, and all kinds of things. Who has not experienced separation, and who has not been afraid of losing?

In my heart, Director Feng has always been the director who understands Chinese the most. He can make people laugh when he makes comedies, make people cry when he makes tragedies, and makes people cry while scolding him. Come up with better videos, be a low-key person, and do things in a high-profile way. Let business be business, and truth be truth. Don't treat the audience as people who only know how to laugh and cry but don't understand movies.
