a non-spiritual victory

A great movie must first be built on a logical basis. In addition to being logical, a movie involving history should also respect history and truly restore humanity and nationality. This sentence is for "The Devil is Coming".
However, based on the national conditions, the SARFT particularly likes YY, because it knows its G-spot the most, and the climax is faster, so the anti-Japanese movies we see in China are generally restricted. Many people have been scolding the SARFT, saying that the SARFT always uses administrative means to interfere in the cultural life of the common people, but I think there is a big misunderstanding here. The SARFT is actually a good department, and they have always been particularly wronged. department. You think, people have been unremittingly approving and distributing restricted-rated movies for you for decades. What other government departments in the world can do that? ! What are you dissatisfied with? ! Hold! !
The brilliance of "The Devil is Coming" lies in the whole play, it's true! If you watch a lot of domestic war dramas, such as "Little Soldier Zhang Ga", "Mine Warfare", "Tunnel Warfare" earlier, and "My Brother's Name is Shunliu" closer, everyone will definitely get a unified impression: The Japanese devils are a group of people who walk with slack, like those who smoke opium every day. Every time they go out of the city, they always play the march of "Dang Dang Dang Dang". , and then halfway through, a member of the guerrillas I had already ambushed (note, it must be my guerrillas, not the national army) with thick eyebrows, big eyes and a beard shaved cleaner than a Gillette Speed ​​3, with sharp eyes He stared at the little devil, waved his gun, and shouted "Rush", so my guerrillas, men and women, old and young, came out of the ground and shot while rushing. Of course, in some cases, there were people shooting from behind, and the Japanese devils suddenly made a mess. , After a few useless counterattacks, he ran away, and was instantly wiped out by my unscathed guerrillas!

This is basically the standard plot of our Anti-Japanese War movies, right?
In fact, the overall situation is still relatively healthy, because in general, there are shootings, and there are very few episodes of shooting.

As I said before, I admire SARFT very much, because they have been under enormous pressure, silently dedicating high-quality R-rated movies to the masses of the people who are angry with the youth for fifty cents. But because the content of this kind of movie is really not suitable for children, I have to criticize it. I am a coward and pick up soft persimmons, so I choose to scold the director and screenwriter.

Do you know what is the biggest difference between soldiers who have undergone militarization training and militiamen? Discipline. What is the biggest characteristic of the Japanese? Discipline.
The Japanese are a nation with a military tradition, and Bushido ideology is simply prepared for the professional army. Loyalty to the emperor and honorable death are the firm beliefs of their soldiers. This created a very combat-ready army during World War II. On the Pacific battlefield, the Americans fought a series of arduous battles and paid heavy casualties to gain a strategic advantage. This goes a long way in HBO's "War in the Pacific" series. The Japanese army held on to the islands in the Pacific Ocean. On some islands, all the defenders were basically killed in battle, and many of them committed suicide collectively when they had no hope of defending. Such a Japanese army has become the above-mentioned "harmonious version" in Chinese TV dramas, which is a bit of a play. I think the director's thinking is problematic: because you are shooting an anti-Japanese theme, you must stand at the height of the nation, and because you stand at the height of the nation, you will slander your opponent. This is not true. I admire the Chinese soldiers and people during the Anti-Japanese War. They made great sacrifices to defend their homeland and the country. It is precisely because of this that the true restoration of the war situation in that era is enough to illustrate the greatness of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression.
Another thing is to simply talk about equipment. During the Anti-Japanese War, the early equipment of the national army was "made in Hanyang" rifles, whose range was only half of that of Japanese rifles, and the accuracy was also lower than that of Japanese equipment. In addition, the Japanese army also has mechanized troops, the Northeast and Taiwan, which are already well-operated resource rear areas. So don't say that the national army did not work hard to resist the war, the morale is there, and it does not lose the face of the Chinese, it is really too bad equipment. It's really not easy for you to PK with an opponent whose attack, defense, speed, and magic resistance are fully equipped with good equipment.
In addition, there are only a few illiterate peasants in my guerrilla team, and most of them were gangsters, gangsters, etc., how could they be so arrogant? Demolition experts ("Mine Warfare"), tactical experts ("Tunnel Warfare"), and even Niu B's snipers ("My Brother's Name is Shunliu"), SB director and screenwriter, can you keep the focus? Watching these films once led me to the illusion that I must have missed some important historical material. For example, Mao Zedong's "On Protracted War", these materials must have some kind of mysterious effect on the improvement of the attribute bonus data of my guerrillas, so that such an anti-Japanese mainstay under the leadership of the party was created.

The bottom line of a historical film is to tell the story as it is, which is the basic requirement. But it has not been realized until "The Devil is Coming". "The Devil is Coming" is a work of ghosts and ghosts, not only because of the pursuit of truth, but also because it is doing what an anti-Japanese film should do: reflection and discussion. Any guessing before watching is futile, so watching it attentively is the best appreciation for this film. I admire Jiang Wen's talent, really. He has the ability to tell stories, the sincerity of treating and respecting the audience equally, and the courage and pursuit of telling stories according to his own ideas.

The film's description of Chinese and Japanese is more objective. The villagers in Hangjiatai have never seen the world, they are greedy, stingy, capricious, and cowardly. Several characters have vividly reflected these characteristics. Several conflict scenes are in place. The protagonist, Ma Dasan, is an anti-traditional and non-classic character, and he doesn't have much romantic heroism in him, nor is it enough to reverse the direction of the whole thing.
The success of the national army officer played by Wu Dawei lies in Wu Dawei's lame performance. Because this officer is a crappy character. The two Americans behind him are very symbolic.
This film can't be released, I think it's at the end. Too shocking!
The Japanese carried out bloody massacres on the villagers even when they knew they were defeated. After becoming prisoners of war in the national army, they were given preferential treatment without any punishment. The army officers said that the Japanese were also human, and you had to be humane to them. Christianity says "eye for an eye", an eye for an eye, and the humiliation given to you by others should be returned as it is. What else can this paragraph be other than showing that some people are scumbags? This is the traitor!
And the Chinese who took revenge, was punished because of infamy.
All kinds of irony, dark humor, you know. At this moment, angry youths, I am sincerely with you.
The Chinese experienced the victory that descended from the sky in the dark. This victory brings paralyzing pleasure and false illusions, but the spiritual victory is never achieved. When Japan was defeated in the movie in 1945, all the Japanese troops stood there straight, accepting the surrender order from the emperor, not the defeat on the battlefield.
For the Chinese people, this is a big pity.

PS;
1. The Japanese army's base is located in Xiguzhuang, Yu County, Hebei, which is now a tourist attraction;
2. The other base should be the Yellow Flower City Water Great Wall.
