When I watched it, I was thinking, I wonder when China will be able to make a good movie about the naval battle scene. In the early years, Li Moran's "Story of the First Sino-Japanese War" was still very classic, but the naval battle now seems very rough.
China has no maritime culture, and Russia is also a big army country, and the level of the navy is also much lower than that of the Western powers. This can be seen from Russia's record in several naval battles. But in any case, the Russian naval culture has survived. As the saying goes, in a century-old navy, it takes several generations of continuous efforts to cultivate a marine culture. The Chinese naval culture has basically been discontinued since the Jiawu period. Because there is no such cultural foundation, it is naturally impossible to make a wonderful naval battle film.
I wasn't very familiar with this character at first. In addition to the biographical film that is basically flat and straightforward, there are not many highlights at the back. Another highlight of the whole film is the actress of the heroine Anna. The Russian beauty is really not covered, Anna's actor Still quite tasty.
In addition to being technically close to the level of Hollywood blockbusters, the character handling is also like Hollywood style. While raising Kolchak, he did not forget to belittle the Red Army. The tsarist period was sunny and the uniforms of noble officers were always clean. Straight, and during the revolutionary period, there was basically no sunny sky. It was either rainy or snowy. The image of the Red Army soldiers was basically a group of sloppy drunkards.
After the collapse of the communist belief, the Orthodox Church has naturally become the spiritual pillar of the Russians, and the other spiritual pillar is nationalism.
In fact, after the collapse of the former socialist camp, the rise of religious and nationalist forces is inevitable, which is also the source of frequent wars and conflicts in these places. China is also facing the problem of rising nationalism, but the difference between China and other countries is that China starts from the bottom, and the mainstream elite is anti-nationalist. In other countries, nationalism is largely led by mainstream elites.
In China, the literati tradition is too deep, and this can be reflected in film and television. Filming court struggles and playing tricks between bureaucrats can be said to be familiar with the skills, but when it comes to martial arts dramas, they become blind. The basic mountain is the level of peasant uprisings. Reaching the level of large-scale group gymnastics is a master figure in China.
China's well-made war-themed movies are basically those screenwriters and directors who have been baptized by war in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China. Today's military-themed movies are basically made behind closed doors, making up random things behind closed doors.
