The North American release is now available. Just spent over an hour watching the full movie. Putting aside all the factors and just scoring the content of the movie, the maximum is 3 points. It belongs to the type that is not recommended to go to the cinema to watch, iQiyi or online watching is fine.
how to say? Let's not talk about the topic of tearing B around the movie. Just talk about the things that need to be complained about in the movie. (Because it's a resource version, I won't put a screenshot)
It can be seen that the director worked hard to make this film well. Nearly restored some scenes of Chongqing at that time, such as Chaotianmen Wharf and old Chongqing near Yuzhong District. The stairs of the wharf and the stilted buildings in Chongqing, the architectural style of Yuzhong District at that time.
In addition, it also reflects the temperament of the people of Chongqing who supported the Anti-Japanese War to the end.
After all, the Japanese militarism was unable to drive warships into Chongqing because of the natural dangers in the Three Gorges Basin. In order to make the then Republic of China government surrender, it carried out a large-scale bombing for five and a half years. However, under the nationwide anti-Japanese wave, the people of Chongqing area insisted on supporting the anti-Japanese war with the bombardment.
It can be seen that the director has the intention of learning from European and American departments, but this may be because the director insists on restoring it, which leads to the result of the invested party playing to the death. Why? The five-and-a-half-year-long Chongqing bombing was basically a bombing, a building, a bombing. Fortunately, Chongqing has always been a city because of its topography, and a mountain is a city. Therefore, most buildings are wooden stilt structures. There are only a few brick buildings. However, the construction of these scenes is not a small investment.
However, there is a lot to complain about in the whole movie.
Personally, I feel that the director is a military blind. Many Chinese directors have this problem with war-themed films. They didn't quite understand the types of weapons used on the battlefield at the time. Of course, it can be seen that the director is trying to restore it. But some places really have to complain.
This film tells the story of the general direction of the National Army Air Force's confrontation with the enemy over Chongqing at that time. However, the performance on the ground is generally not a big problem, and the problem is large-scale air combat.
Special effects: I don't particularly complain about the special effects of air combat in the movie. After all, special effects have always been the weak point of Chinese films. There are many reasons. If it is an air combat with exquisite special effects, it is necessary to copy the parameter data of the full fuselage prototype of the aircraft at that time. However, let's not say whether there are still these planes in our country during World War II. After all, getting the parameters and then making large-scale special effects is also a huge expense. After all, it is not like Maozi seized a large number of German combat machines at the beginning, and it is not like the United States obtained various weapon materials and equipment from Britain, Germany, and Japan before and after the victory. After all, the United States can rent all kinds of weapons as long as they pay.
Details: There are many embarrassing places in this area. It can be seen that the director only checked the aircraft model and appearance pictures, and did not study it specifically. Such as Japan's 96-type land attack aircraft. The approximate appearance of the prototype is correct, but I saw a shot that the rear defense nacelle of the fuselage can actually rotate? ? Is this a fully automatic turret? ? ? I have to admire the director's brain hole and put a prototype photo.
But is it surprising here? Not really.
The Air Force fighter aircraft of the National Army at that time were the I-15 and I-16 American Hawk-3 provided by the early Soviet Union. The main aircraft of the Chinese army in the movie is the I-16. Three photos are provided below.
In the picture above, we can see that only the I-16 can fight bombers such as the Type 96 land attack aircraft. In the game we call the biplane a pesticide machine and a small water pipe.
However, this type of open-position aircraft cannot fly too high for its own reasons. However, there has always been a hobby of anti-Japanese dramas in China. Of course, maybe because, as the director himself said, investors continue to join actors and people need to show their faces, so we saw that the soldiers of the Chinese army and air force rarely wear windproof glasses when they go to high altitudes. Maybe the original era could be cloudy every time, and there was no wind at high altitude, and then the Japanese side understood that it was not easy for us to open fighter jets, so it flew very low every time. This way we can all interact together.
However, this wasn't much of a problem until the zero-fighting P-40 was encountered.
I saw the flying tail-flick attack of the plane, and the instant Kulbit of the Zero. These two shots showed my face. I would like to ask if the director has any misunderstanding about the fighter? Did you know that no planes need roundabout time?
Then there is a scene in it that tells about the suffocation tragedy in the Jiaochangkou air defense tunnel. But although this tragedy was caused by the Japanese bombing, the main reason was the fault of the Kuomintang. At that time, the Kuomintang got the type of Japanese bombs wrong. Thought it was poison gas and incendiary bombs. Then the tunnel entrance was covered with something, and the gate was locked and then forgot to open it in time. The Japanese bombed the ventilation facilities and caused the suffocation tragedy. But you can't pass the Spring and Autumn brushwork in one stroke.
There is also a scene in which the national army pilots drove the I-16 to confront the Japanese army. The plane fell from the sky. In the absence of a landing gear, it survived perfectly after sliding all the way into the city center and crashing into a residential house.
The above is where I have to complain. A lot of the rest of the shots belong to the stars playing soy sauce. Although I don't know what the footage that is missing nearly 30 minutes is. But maybe it's the same as what the director said. Investors continue to add people and cameras. Because in the current version, I really saw a certain Hong Kong star, and there is a close-up.
But according to the story, under the edited version of the US... at least the big story is clearly told. So I can only give one three points.
