"Assembly" can be divided into two parts. The first half is "Saving Private Ryan". The company commander Gu Zidi accepted the order of the superior and led the nine regiments to guard the position. The second half is "Qiu Ju's lawsuit", and the only surviving millet in Jiulian Company runs around in order to give the dead brother's martyr status. The battle scene is mainly concentrated in the first half. I think it has been done quite well. The tragic feeling is very eye-catching. I can't take "Saving Private Ryan" as a reference at all times. There is no film on earth that can compare to him in modern ground warfare, not to mention that the investment in "Assembly" is only "Saving Private Ryan". 1/N. The first half of "Assembly" is a group play, more than an hour of tragic war play, shaping a group of soldiers with their own images. Feng Xiaogang used a few brushes and ink to show the most prominent characteristics of each character. When you think back to Jiulian after the film, what you remember is not a group of people, but a specific person. The actors are also very successful. Whether it's makeup or acting, "Assembly" does a particularly good job. Every warrior character in it is very convincing and has a very positive temperament. The audience will recognize that he is a warrior, not a warrior. Cool actors dressed in military uniforms, even the creamiest Ren Quan, has achieved transformation in less than 10 minutes of playing time.
Although the war scenes are very realistic and there are many bloody scenes, it should be said that the war scenes in the first half do not involve much of the scale issue I mentioned at the beginning. It is often said that the scale of films in mainland China is too tight, which is very one-sided. In fact, mainland China is very relaxed about violent and bloody scenes. Movies like "Armageddon" are definitely restricted in the United States, and our country organizes the majority of primary and secondary school students to watch them collectively. The scale of sex scenes cannot be said too closely, because there is a classification system in foreign countries, but not in our country, as long as the movies released are allowed to be watched by everyone. Movies like "Red Sorghum" and "Ju Dou" are restricted in foreign countries, and there are no minors who can't watch them alone. In China, for all audiences, movie channels also rebroadcast them from time to time. Of course, on some issues, our government's standards have always been very strict. The problem of scale of "Assembly" is mainly reflected in the second half. To apply the argument in literary works, the first half is for laying out, and the second half is for the topic. In the second half of the film, after Gu Zidi returned from the Korean battlefield, he found that the 47 soldiers of the Nine Company who died in the battle were included in the missing list, and were not recognized as martyrs. The difference between martyrs and missing is not only one. For the survivors, the status also means a difference of several hundred catties of food rations per month, so Gu Zidi began the journey of "rectification", in the process he found that "the organization is unreliable"... At the
end of the film, The organization has corrected the names of 47 fighters and awarded any medals of honor. These actually have no practical significance. What is meaningful is that the families of each martyr have hundreds of kilograms of rations every month. In my opinion, this ending is very meaningful. On the one hand, you can understand that the organization is ultimately reliable. On the other hand, the solution of the matter is not through reasonable procedures, but just an approval letter after a leader occasionally learns about the matter. Organizations are still unreliable.
Chinese war movies are all in the style of "one will succeed and ten thousand bones will die". Although it is said that the people make history and people's war is said, the people are more often an empty group term, and the value of the individuals who make up the people, No one cares. "Assembly" does not have the false and empty things in the past war-themed films, but focuses more on real and specific people. What is even more commendable is that the film faintly conveys doubts about some practices in the war. In that sense, it's the same as Saving Private Ryan. "Assembly" was able to be released, and it was vigorously promoted by the state media, which reflected some signals. The government is not an idiot, and will not understand the theme of "Assembly" as "As long as there is determination and confidence to win, like the Chinese Pig Association." , the bullet will also turn.” Our views on some issues are slowly aligning with the mainstream of the world, at least when it does not involve the political system, this is the case.
It is Zhang Hanyu who plays the protagonist Gu Zidi. His dubbing works are far more famous than the movies he participated in. He has his voice in "The Lord of the Rings", "Assassination of Kennedy" and even "Donald Duck and Teacher Rice". Since "Endless", he has appeared endlessly in Feng Xiaogang's films. "Assembly" is the first film by Zhang Hanyu, who graduated from the Performance Department of the Central Academy of Drama in 1988. He has accumulated nearly 20 years of performance energy in "Assembly". In his own words, "putting on Military uniforms are millet land."
