So I have more expectations for the movie itself. The first half is as advertised as being realistic enough, special effects enough, human enough, suspenseful enough, dialect enough, and American soldiers enough, but I know that these are all foreshadowing, and the second half is really touching , Really profound, especially the section of Gu Zidi in the cemetery is a classic tear gas. Then there was a moment when I was really moved by that episode, but I still couldn't cry. And with the further development of the plot, this feeling will never come back.
Just when I was a little worried about whether or not I was already inhumane and devoid of humanity, a comment from my younger brother woke me up and made me understand why "Assembly" didn't move me, but the documentary moved me. When he saw Guzidi disregarding everyone's obstruction and hollowing out the coal mountain that others had built up, he said, "How can a retired soldier have such great privileges?!"
Yes, I can be sure now, that's why, Let the film not be deep enough or touching enough in the second half. In the first half of the film, the insignificance of the individual and the illusoryness of heroism are successfully displayed. But in the second half, personal heroism is revived. Gu Zidi climbed up to a division commander, Gu Zidi wrote a report, and Gu Zidi found the political commissar of the regiment! Everything is different because of the millet land, and the previous abandonment and forgetting have been written off!
I don't know if this is the case with the adapted novel, or Director Feng Xiaogang's preference for reunion endings, or the need to not be harmonious during the film review. Maybe I would have appreciated the story before, but after learning about that documentary, I won't.
The truth is that the warriors were not only abandoned in battle, they were also forgotten in the years that followed. A small company commander can declare, but the General Political Department is full of such letters, who cares about him!
Why is the sentence "It's been ** years..." so touching, because it contains not only persistence, but also bitterness. It is so difficult, after so many years, those soldiers who have been sleeping in the ground are already rotten, and the company commander is already old. It was so easy again. As soon as the TV station came out, everything was done. The number of the troops in the past was found, and the cemetery of the head of the regiment was found. This really can't help but arouse people's associations. After so many years, who has human nature among those who have received company commanders, and who really takes him seriously? ! Abandonment in war can be forgiven, because that is for the needs of the whole world. But in a time of peace, how could one ignore the little pitiful plea of a veteran! And how could he be ignored? Are we not one of the neglected and damaged?
In the documentary, the aging company commander did not have the slightest sense of heroism. He just fulfilled a wish, which he also owed to his soldiers. And what else could the company commander say besides reporting the battle results to the tombstone of the commander? A back view can say it all.
The company commander is not a hero, but unfortunately, the millet land is. In such an anti-hero movie, there is a hero who ends up being a deeper and more moving obstacle to the movie. This can't help but say it's a pity.
