I also had a blast on the first day of the screening. I didn't have any tears after watching it, but I felt that my chest was very congested, and there was an indescribable depression.
As far as the movie is concerned, the first 40 minutes are good, the man is heroic and enthusiastic, although there are various flaws in the war scene, but the flaws do not hide the flaws. It is not easy for a mainland movie to reach this level. The key is that afterward, Feng Xiaogang tried to illustrate his theme with a series of experiences in Gu Zidi's discussion for his more than 40 comrades in arms - every sacrifice is valuable, and the film suddenly changed from a novel to a primary school student. composition.
Compared with the sacrifice, the value of the millet land is so pale and ridiculous, and the meaning of the sacrifice is so naive and superficial. The political commissar who suddenly appeared, the martyr title that suddenly appeared, increased from 200 jins of millet to 700 jins of millet... There is nothing to be moved by the following plot, if you must find some meaning, it is just ridiculous , the absurdity of sacrifice. All the value lies in the victims themselves, in how they face death, how they overcome their fears, and how they become warriors and heroes. That is the growth of the heart, and no title or how many pounds of millet can be measured. What Gu Zidi was looking for seemed to be the reputation of his comrades-in-arms, but it was actually his own psychological balance.
Therefore, the first half of the assembly is a war movie, and the second half is a satire. Feng Xiaogang had to squeeze the audience's tears out of the satirical plot, so the whole movie was very twisted.
From the vertical point of view, the assembly number is not bad. Compared with the vulgar blockbusters such as Zhang Yimou, Chen Kaige, etc., there are at least some details worth remembering. The heroes in the propaganda are restored to ordinary soldiers. The PLA was also beaten badly and died. Many soldiers of the People's Liberation Army are unwilling to die and become martyrs. In fact, this type of film has a heritage, such as "One and Eight", such as "Blood in the Black Valley", those films just don't have so much money to burn, and they were chopped up to pieces by the stupid Bs who reviewed the film, probably not many Personally remember.
Horizontally there is no comparison. Stone or who said it, all good war movies are anti-war, not on par with "Full Metal Jacket", "Apocalypse Now", "Field Platoon" and the like, even if it's like "Saving Private Ryan" Such a Hollywood blockbuster, even if it is about the anti-fascist war, is just as critical. And the assembly number is really the main theme through and through, because with such a pale theme first, most of the efforts to detail all go to waste.
Therefore, you don't have to listen to the quarrels of the media and netizens. Their appreciation level and quality are not necessarily higher than yours (it is said that the film Feng Dao has already stepped into a master, which really makes people laugh out loud - Feng Xiaogang's teeth fall out) anyway haha). If you want to watch it, you can watch it (it's always better than Hero Wuji), and there is no loss if you don't watch it (save 60 yuan).
