Shuang Chen said it himself, this film is too accurate. The narration explains the truth thoroughly, and the soundtrack even stirs people to tears. This too straightforward intention was not their original intention, but was actually a choice after the Hong Kong film moved northward.
Some people pointed out that this is a Hong Kong version of "Five Heroes of Langya Mountain", which is nothing but indoctrination. This is of course a slander out of thin air, and "October Siege" is very different from it. The main character of the film is not a soldier who is born obedient (without firm belief), let alone swearing allegiance to the death. Some of them are purely out of ideal impulses, and some are just for money and wealth, and it is impossible to say that all of them are awe-inspiring. Furthermore, on the side of the five warriors, whether they were rescued or not hooked by the branches, there was not much difference between who lived and who died. But in the movie, if you disrupt the characters, you will find that no two people have the same starting point and destination, they all have their own hearts. The characters in "October Siege" are vivid because they are flesh and blood, full of emotion and personality, and they are a group of living Chinese. They have a moment of blood and fear of death. You can see the pedantic and helpless talk of the revolutionary party, and then you must think about the question of whether it is worth it or not.
Another negative voice is that "October Siege" sells sadness and renders tragic and solemn. This statement is an objection to the fact that different characters leave one after another with different methods of death, and they cannot accept the repeated tragic shock. But just like the phrase "people like me sacrificed one after another", the movie visualizes the lines - even if these people are not necessarily real colleagues. In the end, it is nothing more than a difference of positions. Can there be a bloodless revolution? Maybe there will be in the future, but a hundred years ago, in China with internal and external troubles, it would have been too naive to talk about things with your mouth.
If you really think that Sun Yat-sen is equal to Sun Dapao, and there is no need to hold that one-hour meeting and come back later, then you may not understand the most basic principle of keeping promises. Sun Yat-sen is just a drug lead, and "October Siege" strives to be chivalrous, such as the following dialogue: Will you help me tomorrow? The other guy said without much thought, okay. To Qifeng can make three killers avenge an amnesiac, but what does the matter itself have to do with them? Revenge has lost its meaning, and it is not necessary to carry it on. The simple Wang Fuming and the loveless Liu Yubai. Not every answer is for the righteousness of the family and the country, they just agreed to the requests of others, and the actions of these people contributed to the burning of the revolution.
I don't like to watch fistfights, but "October Siege" is an action movie. If you want to watch the fight from beginning to end, and you have no heart to laugh, you can only continue to say sorry. This film is a little serious, but also touching. Not to mention knowing behind the scenes, it has some ideal innocence. "October Siege" can't meet everyone's expectations, but it will arouse a bit of moving and make people feel a little sad about the country and the country. 【Wealth Management Week Shanghai Magazine Column】
