Before the release on August 21, I watched the ratings drop bit by bit, and I already knew it, but I still chose to watch it. After all, that history really needs to be remembered.
The movie borrowed a sentence from the special commissioner played by Huang Xiaoming: behind the war is politics. We also don’t know what the cut-out 30 minutes were actually performed, and we can only sigh that there is politics behind the art.
Why do I still choose to give this film five stars? From the perspective of film art, the scene scheduling and scene restoration are all very well done. A 5-second empty scene shows the devastated Shanghai incisively and vividly. It is worthy of the largest investment. movie of. The war scenes are relaxed and relaxed, unlike "Operation Red Sea", the whole movie does not give you a second of relaxation. Although there are many characters depicted in the group portrait scenes, each of them has a distinct image, which complements each other. It goes without saying that veteran actors such as Zhang Yi, Liu Qianyuan, Jiang Wu, etc., the performances of new-generation actors such as Wei Chen and Ou Hao may be surprising enough with their role bonuses.
White Horse, Guan Gong, Zhao Zilong, the images are clear, and they reflect each other. On the opposite side of the bank are the ruthless actors on the stage, the crowd watching, the brothels and casinos that are singing and dancing. dramatic enough.
As Huang Xiaoming said: These 800 people are like actors on the international stage. Even if the postponed Brussels Conference is held as scheduled, it will not change the war situation in the slightest. Sun Yuanliang, who fled in a hurry, may have already predicted all this. , or maybe he just wanted to run for his life, in the eyes of people at the time, it was just an episode in the defeat of one battle after another since August.
But Xie Jinyuan's tragic persistence did indeed bring strong confidence to the people of the whole country at that time. On the opposite side of the shore, the gangsters crossed the bridge for life and death, ignorant students volunteered to join the army, and Belarusian prostitutes made donations, when ordinary civilian professors picked up Gun, this is the meaning of the eight hundred people sticking to it.
Dozens of deserters, in the end, only the old abacus played by Zhang Yi finally came to the other side. If the whole movie is full of Guang Weizheng, then this character interprets human nature. Ou Hao, who connected the first 2/3 of the movie, interprets growing up. When human nature and growth are used as the background color of meaning in a main theme movie, it enriches the theme of the movie.
In the last shot, the waving hands in the crowd can't help but remind people of "Nanjing, Nanjing". The dusty air is filled with soot from the fire of war, but it also carries the cry of the people.
