Fortunately, Feng Xiaogang's "Assembly" pulled people back from God's side. In "Assembly", the soldiers we see are no longer heroic and invincible, nor do we see those symbolic scenes of revolutionary heroism. Fear of death is human nature, no one wants to fight, and no one wants to die. The reason why our ancestors are admired is not because they are not afraid of death, but because they know that there is no life or death, but they still choose to die and choose to fight the enemy to the end! This is the real hero, a hero with flesh and blood, a living hero, not a god who always regards death as his home and never fears death. We need God, but we need a real "God", a real hero! When a person overcomes his own cowardice and fear and faces death bravely, it is the real greatness! This journey from fear of death to bravely facing death is the real transformation of a hero, it shows their inner strength and fearlessness, and it proves the hardships and hardships behind their bravery. Such a hero is far better than a hero. The "God" who has never been afraid of death and has never been afraid of death is more real and touching.
"Assembly" changed the camera from aiming at the general to facing ordinary soldiers. The hero is also "afraid of death", and will not take the initiative to fight, nor will he shout slogans and hit the gun when he sacrifices. As Feng Xiaogang said: There are many ways to express war in movies, and "Assembly" will also highlight heroism, but it is definitely not a traditional war movie with the main theme. Feng Xiaogang hopes to make at least one thing clear through this film: "It is human nature to be afraid of death, but under this instinct, the protagonist Gu Zidi and his soldiers made brave actions. This contrast is only in comparison. He is a real hero." Feng Xiaogang's remarks are in line with my opinion.
In "Assembly", there are both large-scale war scenes and detail-oriented street fighting scenes. In order to show the war scenes more realistically, Feng Xiaogang specially invited Korean technicians. These technicians have produced war effects for war films such as "The Tai Chi Flag Flying". The story narrated in "Assembly" is also very concise and powerful. From the perspective of the most common soldiers, the film creates a series of flesh-and-blood heroes. They no longer wear high-level coats and sacrifice themselves on the battlefield one by one.
The most impressive thing is that Wang Jincun, who was scared to pee his pants when he first entered the battlefield, was about to be dealt with by military law. He is one of the characters with the biggest personality change in the film, and one of the characters with a very full image. He was originally an ordinary normal student. If there was no war, he would have been sitting in a quiet classroom to read and write, and be an excellent teacher after graduation. If there was no war, he might have been able to grow old together with his wife, Sun Guiqin, and serve his elderly mother in filial piety. However, when the war came, Wang Jincun resolutely left the school and went to the front line, but he was timid by nature and was detained by the military court for fear of war, and thus got to know Guzidi. Gu Zidi did not laugh at him like the others. After accepting the task of blocking the battle, Gu Zidi applied to his superiors and brought Wang Jincun to the Nine Company as the company's instructor. In that tragic blocking battle, Wang Jincun witnessed the cruelty of the war with his own eyes. He watched helplessly as his comrades died one by one but could not do anything, and finally broke out, fighting the enemy with other soldiers until they died heroically. There are all kinds of people among heroes, and there are many timid people like Wang Jincun, but in the end they gave their lives. They are heroes, living heroes, heroes worthy of our respect.
The biggest contribution of "Assembly" is to face the truth. I personally think that the fear and cowardice shown by people in the face of war are forgivable, and should be a normal state. It is a pity that no one is willing to touch this real normalcy for a long time. I am glad that we are in This kind of real hero is seen in "Assembly". It's because of the fact that this movie shows that, so I think this movie is very real and textured.
