It's not very good, but it's very heart-warming in terms of the main theme

In Hong Kong, "Battleship Island" and "Wolf Warriors 2" were released at the same time. In China, "Wolf Warriors 2" suddenly emerged and became the first benchmark of the Chinese film box office. However, in Hong Kong, "Battleship Island" gained both reputation and box office. It is a patriotic theme, and it is also the background of saving compatriots. After watching "Wolf Warrior 2", I feel more refreshed. "Battleship Island" brings the heart, and in terms of depth, "Battleship Island" is better. The only way to win is the director's handling of every detail of the film. The beginning and end of "Battleship Island" are both black and white, but yellow is added at the end, symbolizing victory and being able to accept the truth. Many scenes in the second half can be seen as symbolic. This is the director's careful handling. , especially the crying expression of the little girl in the end, cruelly criticizing the ruthlessness of the war, all of which made the audience worried. At the same time, the script's portrayal of characters is richer than that of the superheroes in "Wolf Warrior 2", with both drama and realism. Song Zhongji's character design is a bit biased towards Wu Jing in "Wolf Warrior 2", and Huang Yanmin is the one who takes the lead. , the father-daughter relationship makes the movie more emotional. Song Zhongji's little brother will not start to play a role until the middle and late stages, otherwise it will be a bit tasteless. In the script, there is even more reflection on the inferiority of the nation itself, which is not dared to show in Chinese WWII movies, and this is precisely what still exists. The courage to face the truth is more worthy of praise than the output of blind heroism.
