It can be seen that the special effects at the beginning of the film cost money. There are many actors in these scenes, and there are many things to express. The shooting of this scene must have cost the director a lot of energy. There are many close-up shots of the extras crying throughout the film. In fact, I think that such scenes should not appear so frequently. It is also good to use a quiet atmosphere and empty eyes to express them properly.
I also quite like the narrative style of this film. The contradictions have always been prominent, the theme has never been deviated, the small climaxes are logically arranged properly, and the climax part is also enjoyable to watch.
As an actor, this is definitely a movie worth challenging. First of all, the roles in this film require the actors to recede the halo of stars and step into the lives of ordinary people, accepting no makeup, old age makeup, miner makeup, etc. Secondly, the age spans a lot, and it is not easy to quickly enter an age when the filming is not in sequence. Every age and every age group has different appearances, eyes, body shapes, movements, and tone. Also, be ready to deal with a lot of crying scenes at any time. Maybe for the extras, crying doesn't need to be so serious, but the crying scenes of the main actors should be taken seriously, and many of them are the highlight.
I look forward to a film like this one day in our country, combining the heaviness of history with the little people.
