First and foremost the weirdest thing is that no matter how big the screen is when I watch it, it feels like watching a TV show. I think this may be caused by aesthetic fatigue. In recent years, a large number of TV series with the same theme have been broadcast. The actors and characters are the same, and the most terrible thing is that the stories and plots are also the same. At most, one branch of the military is changed, the air force becomes the navy, the navy becomes the army, and then the stories that are not very different are staged again. So much so that you don't even need to watch a TV series to finish watching it, as long as you watch two episodes of this drama, watch two episodes of that drama, put them together, and a complete story will come out. To say that this should be the responsibility of the screenwriter, but the screenwriter cannot be completely blamed, because such modern military-themed film and television works are now facing the same problem. In fact, even Hollywood screenwriters can’t do anything about it. The problem is who the opponent is. .
The foreign aggression of the enemy during the Cold War is obviously not applicable to the current era of globalization. First, it is easy to affect the solidarity and friendship between countries (although not many); second, it is more likely to affect the distribution of films. Today’s film producers, especially those of commercial blockbusters, can’t wait to spare even county-level cinemas. , if for some political reasons, half the world can't be released, it will be a big loss; the third is also because such opponents are too outdated, the audience buys tickets and wants to watch commercial entertainment films, not Documentary. So who is the opponent is a headache for the screenwriter and director of this type of film. It seems that being unknown is taboo in various cultures.
For a period of time after the Cold War, the villains of this type of film were mostly rich and unkind capitalists and drug dealers. After 9/11, the villains naturally gave way to terrorists. As for whether there will be suspicion of cannons hitting mosquitoes, it will depend on the skill of the screenwriter to fool you! It's just that screenwriters like Hollywood will be more flexible and flexible on this point, while our screenwriters have more concerns. In fact, I really want to say that apart from that, there is no essential difference between the screenwriters in the two places, but when I talk about it, I always feel that I don't have enough confidence.
I always feel that the screenwriter of this film must have been in the habit of writing TV series and has not changed. There are so many episodes of TV series, it must be boring if you always shoot a group of big men fighting, of course, except for "Soldier Assault", others Is a good screenwriter. Therefore, adding the relationship between men and women in military-themed TV dramas can not only play a role in adjusting, but also be considered grounded. The relationship between men and women is justified! It's just that I don't quite understand how much such a movie is necessary for an hour-long movie? Of course I'm not against the image of female soldiers in military dramas, and I'm more in favor of such a setup. It's just that I don't quite understand why there must be an emotional entanglement with the male protagonist as soon as a female soldier appears. The rest of the plot is pretty solid. It's those few emotional interactions between the male and female protagonists, which are simply and rudely inserted, and the foreplay is very perfunctory, not even as good as some action movies. After watching it, I really feel that it is not necessary. It would be better to leave more time for action scenes. You must know that movie time is precious, and there is really no need to make false adjustments.
As for the rest of the film, the advantages and disadvantages of most TV dramas of the same genre are the same, and the mental outlook is basically the same. The storyline is greatly compacted to suit the rhythm of the movie, and it is basically a shortened version of a TV series. I originally wanted to give this TV series two stars on the big screen, but after thinking that this is another attempt of a mainland movie in a new field, I still give this film three stars.
