I would rather be a weed, waiting for the fire in the ground

Feng Xiaogang said: "In our past movies, there were often people who regarded death as their own, which violated human nature. Because of the fear and cowardice shown in the face of war, I think it is the normal state of human beings. When there is fear of war, he will Being able to make sacrifices makes this hero very valuable.

What war brings to people is always dull. Just like the color used by director Feng Xiaogang in the film, the large area of ​​darkness is a true portrayal of the liberation war period. It is also the externalization of the people and even the audience in front of the screen at that time, full of fear. What we have always seen is "One General" in "One General Becomes Famous, Ten Thousand Bones", but the "ten thousand bones" behind him were buried in the thick historical dust and slowly rotted and deteriorated, becoming the company commander's millet. The rows of tree stumps inscribed with "nameless" in his sigh. The pure white snow is in stark contrast with the dark gun barrels and the dusty clothes of the soldiers. The blood pouring out of the casualties is even more direct to the hearts of the audience in this picture. War is always cruel, which is completely different from the meaning brought by the most popular Hollywood Marvel series of movies. What Marvel constructs is the story of superheroes saving the world, while Feng Xiaogang's " "Assembly" brings shock to the audience, as well as grief, and the most important thing is the lofty respect for the revolutionary fighters.

Feng Xiaogang's rocking shot in "Assembly" is very different from the rocking shot that director Wong Kar-wai is good at. Wong Kar Wai used the camera to show the confusion and intoxication of lonely young people in the current society, while Feng Xiaogang showed the panic, fear and tension of the soldiers in front of the audience at a glance.

"Assembly" uses the camera to focus on such a person. According to the standards of revolutionary fighters, even Changguzidi is not a hero: In his eyes, the lives of his soldiers are higher than the completion of the task, and he gave his brothers the spoils of war. It was not enough to keep the "political consciousness" unwilling to hand in. The soldier was so frightened that he wet his pants, he not only didn't blame him, but also said: "The guns are flying on the top of the head, and the grenades are running in the crotch. If the gods are also pissing..." One A very ordinary person in the war, his friendship with his comrades, brothers, and admiration for life, and Lin Biao in the movie "Armageddon" said in a cold and terrifying tone: "I don't want the number of casualties, I just want Tashan. ” in stark contrast to the indifference. War brings death, grief, and exposure of humanity. And director Feng Xiaogang just grasped this main line and expanded the heroic halo of Gu Zidi. The hero must be dehumanized, the word me must be completely denied, the individual characteristics of gender, age, marriage, and human relations must be revolutionaryly eliminated, and any reminiscent of individual feelings and their personalities must be replaced in the name of history and the collective. The concept of human nature, otherwise he would not be able to resolutely allow himself to explode from existence to nothingness for the benefit of nation, state, class and party. As for the enemy, there is no human nature at all, because our hatred of him has made him no longer human. He can only be a reactionary, a traitor, a traitor, and no longer has any possibility of becoming a human being. As the soldier in "Assembly" said: I killed the reactionaries. What he meant was: "That's not human, so there's nothing to regret."

The roar of the cannons, the roars of the soldiers, and the sad songs lingered in the audience's ears and lingered in the audience's hearts.

"Assembly" is a big step forward in telling about war, history, and human nature. The hero presented in the movie is an unprecedented hero. The script describes "Assembly" as a distinctive Chinese war film. This time Feng Xiaogang is not trying to create a traditional hero who sees death as his own, but a profound Humanistic care, the helplessness of the individual in the face of war and politics, and the life of Gu Zidi sounded the horn of life, making people truly remember the lost heroic spirit.
