As a senior military fan, I went to watch the first screening of the screening, and the restoration of the props and costumes was simply amazing. At the beginning, the Hubei Security Corps wore a big-brimmed hat and carried an old Hanyang with a barrel and a sleeve. The 88th Division of the German Armament is Mauser 1924 (it may also be a domestic official or a Belgian-made Vz.24. The three guns have the same shape and have been equipped in history), and the hat is a small straight hat similar to the German Mountain Division. The bullet box is 6 standard German-style bullet boxes. Xie Jinyuan's orderly carries a Mauser carbine pistol commonly known as a horse box. The light machine gun is the original Czech style with a threaded cooling pipe straight magazine, and the heavy machine gun is the Mark Qin 08 (also Possibly Min 24), there is also a Su Luotong 20mm cannon on the roof. The horse box and 20 small cannons are unpopular props, and they are the first time I have seen them in a domestic drama. The military uniform of the Japanese army is the Zhaowu type with a vertical collar, and the individual equipment is very restored. There is a wreckage of a Type 94 light chariot (commonly known as a bean chariot) downstairs in the warehouse.
Let’s talk about a few slots. First, like all the dramas, there is a big sniper in the hands of the national army. In fact, the national army has only imported a batch of Mauser heavy-barreled shotguns with scopes for training. , the kind of single-player, there is no record of being on the battlefield, and there is no photo to prove that he has been on the battlefield, and this big sniper in the movie has no effect on the plot, and I have never even seen this sniper shoot. I don't understand why the domestic director Passionate about sniper rifles. Second, most of the horse boxes are self-produced by old Chinese arsenals, and the quality is uneven. They are generally bought by warlords and bandits in the north to support the guards. The original box gun of the wooden box is more suitable. Third, the veteran played by Wang Qianyuan claimed to be from the 36th division and wore a British-style dish helmet. In fact, the 36th division was also a German armorer, and it should be the same German helmet as the 88th division.
Finally, let’s talk about the plot. Historically, the scale of the Sixing Warehouse defense battle was relatively small. The national army sacrificed 19 people. In the movie, the tragic degree is magnified ten times. The part of entering the concession was so ridiculous that the retreat acted like a charge, and even Xie Tuanfu was shot a few times. And Xie Jinyuan rides a white horse to negotiate with the Japanese commander, which is also a bit of a drama. The white horse is interspersed throughout the movie. It seems that there is no other meaning except for Xie Tuan. I don’t know what the director wants to express with a white horse. what. There was a flashback in the last half hour of the film. The first few words on the screen 14 hours ago felt downgraded. This flashback can be cut to the front according to the development of the plot.
In short, the costumes and props still make my eyes shine, and the domestic details are the most attentive works. The narrative style is a bit long-winded and seems like superfluous, and it doesn't feel like Guan Hu's usual level of feature films. There are really not many directors in China who can make good war dramas.
