I watched "Eight Hundred", but it didn't work.
Although it is duty-bound to support the resumption of work in theaters, no one's money comes from the wind, right? I can't eat this meal. I can only recognize it when I walk in the muddy water. Let's expand a bit.
Inexplicable self-impression
I was not interested in the history of the Sixing Warehouse in the first place, and the "188th Division under the World" is even more nonsense.
In the hands of the "flying general" such as Sun Yuanliang (the nickname of "flying general" is ironic, because he runs fast and has no morals almost every time he fights), which is more expensive. Child's cannon fodder.
The poor 400 soldiers, Sun Paopao left behind to become a martyr—you must know that Lao Jiang ordered the entire 88th division to die, betting that the European and American powers with concessions in Shanghai would not be able to sit still, and then stand up for him.
To put it aside, Lao Jiang has been counting on the mercy of the United Kingdom and the United States and the international community all his life, and this shit tradition has also been taken across the strait by him.
Speaking of the eighty-eighth division that was sent to death, the then division commander, Sun Yuanliang, thought he could go to hell, so he went to Gu Zhutong, the head of the war zone, and said that he was just pretending to show it to Lord Yang. So if a battalion is sent to death, it's also a send-off - so wouldn't it be over with only Xie Jinyuan's reinforcement battalion?
Xie Jinyuan can't do anything about it, so let's send it, so let's send it.
400 people are known as 800 people, and they will give away in vain. Then Lao Jiang made a big hype about this, and promoted Xie Jinyuan and Yang Huimin who sent the flag to an infinite height. But the real result... that is quite discordant, you can check it out if you are interested.
I don't know how this history of making and frying has moved Guan Hu, and it has to be as tragic and solemn as Wenquan Pass. Sadness is sadness, it really can't be ignited. I watched "Blood Battle of Taierzhuang" and "My Leader, My Regiment", um, I liked it very much; the American Soviet hero movie "Broken Down the City", which is also a star-making war, can also be watched with relish - but this "Eighth" Bai", how uncomfortable it is.
Looking back on Guan Hu's "Old Pao'er" and "Killing Life" before, I probably understand a little bit. This embryo just likes to be moved by himself. He has to create a moving point that is not very popular, and then the scourge of the budget will be over; people can't say it yet. If it doesn't look good, if it doesn't look good, it means that your appreciation level is not enough, and you can't appreciate the literary heart of his commercial production.
Hypocritical!
Aside from history, it's still unclear
So aside from that embarrassing history, is "Eight Hundred" a good movie? Should it be worthy of the title of "China's first war blockbuster"? Go away, it's far away.
The movie wants to show group portraits, so it uses a lot of positive and negative hits, close-ups, sound and picture routines, and upside down shots... trying to make every character stand up. It must be admitted that it is still established here. I won't spoil it, just talking about the shaping of the two core characters, Yangguai and Laoabacus, is indeed tenable. Wang Qianyuan is finally no longer the same as in the remake, and Zhang Yi's performance is still at his peak.
By the way, my favorite is the old iron played by Jiang Wu, and it is that nose that reminds me of Jack Nicholson in "Chinatown".
But, that's it.
No kidding, as soon as the characters stand up, the movie is almost over.
This movie doesn't tell the whole story at all. You said that this ping ping pong pong is not like a stream of consciousness literary film, why did you castrate yourself? Oh, if you want to show the cross section of the times, then this cross section is too fine. Guan Hu, are you cutting across the leg hair of the times? How come there are only characters and no stories?
Someone must have said it, and that is the question that was deleted. Okay, anyway, I didn't see the black and white version a year ago, and now you can call the previous version "Schindler's List". But as far as the finished film is concerned, even after level 10 brain supplementation, I still feel that it is fine, and a fine film is not a film.
Movies can be broken, such as "Mulholland Drive"; movies can also be absurd, such as "Holy Mountain"; but movies can't be broken into small pieces, and they can't lose the overall sense of light and shadow - hey, Guan Hu especially likes this kind of thing. The structure where the trachea is cut off when I can't breathe, hehe, this is a really good way to shoot a TV series. Every time it breaks the chapter, it makes people sick.
And "Eight Hundred" is a film that's broken to the extreme. It feels like a mixed cut of a pair of biographical films -- yes, it's like a second-generation video at station B, not a movie. If you think that buying a ticket to see a mixed cut at station B can be introduced, then OK, just be happy, and act as a member of Guanhu.
