The hand-painted "Eight Hundred" poster I drew
The first time I bought a ticket and watched the screening.
It is true, as the commissioner played by Huang Xiaoming in the movie said, because of the particularity of this battle, the whole world is watching and it is destined that it is just a political show for the world to see, in contrast to this. It is the concession area on the other side of the river where singing and dancing are rising. On the south bank is anxiety and concern mixed with worry, on the other bank is longing and envy mixed with curiosity. The perspective of "watching" inside and outside the movie is worth chewing.
The war is nothing but a political game. Therefore, the lives and blood of so many young soldiers with flesh and blood, families and children have been given and betrayed in vain, and the only exchange is a sympathetic look from the world. The conclusion is conceptualized, it is too sad and absurd.
And because I knew this was destined to be a tragedy, every minute and every second of the movie was tugged at the heart. The flag guard was bombed twice with blood splashing, and when he jumped out of the warehouse with a time bomb to commit suicide, he shouted his own dq These scenes of name and hometown are so tearful, dammit!
The lineup of almost all the first-line actors (Ou Hao, Huang Xiaoming, Zheng Kai, Du Chun, Zhang Yi, Wei Chen, Yu Haoming, Wang Qianyuan, Jiang Wu, Liu Xiaoqing, Li Jiuxiao...) but all their acting skills are online, dedicated and hardworking, fading away from their personalization The label, they completely drowned themselves in their respective roles, disgraced faces turned into ordinary lives in the mud with scars and bloodshot eyes, and the most impressive thing was the knife played by Li Jiuxiao. The scene of rushing across the bridge to the other side was quiet, happy, fierce, tragic and tragic, but he finally fell on the bridge and failed to escape the guns of the devil.
The rhythm of the first half of the movie is obviously better than that of the second half. It is compact and solid, and it completely builds a harsh and tense war situation atmosphere. It may be because of the deletion (unknown) that the second half is obvious. It loosened up. After the foreplay was so well laid out, the momentum and the upcoming climax that should have followed were not as expected (personal feeling), soft and less action, more preaching, powerless The emotional state of the people on the South Bank is only superficial, and it does not penetrate deeper into the hearts of the characters, and the emotional interaction between the two sides of the strait has not improved. Dig deep. (Except for the part where the female student (Yang Huimin) played by Tang Yixin sends the flag across the shore is acceptable).
But in general, the flaws do not hide the flaws. I haven't felt such a big and urgent war scene in the theater for a long time. Especially the first half of the shootout with the devils is so dizzying, I can't breathe. The director's on-the-spot scheduling is so powerful that it doesn't lose to the action scenes of European and American war movies at all.
At the end of the movie, the footage of the Sixing Warehouse full of bullet holes is grafted to the Sixing Warehouse in Shanghai under the background of the current peaceful era of busy traffic and high-rise buildings. It's a big pity that there are only three martyrs including Xie Jinyuan at the end of the film. (I heard that the original was very complete and mighty, and it was deleted due to the length of the film...)
Those soldiers who finally escaped across the bridge to the other side were all forced to work as hard labor, and four years later Xie Jinyuan was assassinated by a traitor who was bought by Wang Jingwei... Such a cruel sigh!
It's a very personal feeling whether you like it or not.
Some people think that it is a high-cost hem shot that is exquisite and neat. It is a puppet without real feelings, and it will only be sensational, while some audiences (such as me) are completely absorbed in it, and they can't help themselves with tears in their eyes. Even if it is a play, I am willing to be coerced into it and I am willing to believe and feel it. No matter how cruel and ruthless the war is, there is still beauty and blood in human nature, and they are not superhumans, but ordinary people like you and me. They have families and relatives, and they are also the desires of mortals, and they are also afraid of death.
And that tragic history really existed and existed, no one can try to erase it, no one can, and it will always be remembered.
Tribute to the heroes and cherish the memory of the martyrs. As a Shanghainese, thank all the creators
Thank you for this ill-fated movie "Eight Hundred".
