But Jiang Wen didn't let me down.
At the moment when the promotion of "The Sun Also Rises" is in full swing, I finally mustered up the courage to watch another film after his "Sunshine". "The Devil is Coming".
There are so many anti-war films, I think the most important thing is no longer their weight but the perspective. Here, anti-war, rather than being understood as opposing war, is a reflection on war. I think the word reflection is more powerful for human beings who often make mistakes.
I saw the reflections Jiang Wen conveyed in the film. I think this kind of reflection is the root cause of this film's criticism in the mainland. The different perspectives challenge people's traditional anti-Japanese thinking. A challenge to traditional thinking, even a little bit, will cause great anxiety. Our Chinese People. So I can understand the undisguised praise of many foreign journalists for this film. If the unilateral national hatred is cooled down, and it is more objective and higher, I think the war in our eyes will be closer to the appearance of "The Devil Has Come", rather than the appearance of "So-and-so War". Of course, I don't mean to discredit red movies, I just think that as history goes on, our thinking must also grow and mature.
The ignorant and kind people, the only victims of the war. Finally, Ma Dasan's head fell to the ground, and the black and white vision was painted with blood. His head is smiling.
From the beginning to the end, in this war under the banner of national liberation, Tibetan prisoners, raising devils, indistinguishable friends and foes, annihilating disasters, revenge and hatred for primitiveness, and perishing together, he lives chaotically in his own life. logic, and finally make his own logic complete. His logic is constructed by the vitality, kindness, ignorance, yearning for food, and thirst for a peaceful life of a middle-aged Chinese male farmer. This kind of construction is simple and natural, simple but understandable, so when the high-ranking Kuomintang generals ordered the eradication of this scum, and the head of the junior fell to the ground like a joke, he looked at the Kuomintang general standing in front of Mr. Zhongshan's head, watching The Japanese remnants who became prisoners, looked at the laughing crowd around, many concepts collapsed and were no longer perfect, as if they were suddenly confused, who was fighting and for whom.
This kind of film, finally made a contribution to the anti-war film. Therefore, I am not disappointed, but rather have some confidence and encouragement in the film industry in our country.
