In 1942,
there was a disaster in Henan, tens of thousands of people were
displaced, and
3 million people died in the famine . The faces of all beings in the fleeing team, the faces of government officials, American journalists, missionaries, Japanese soldiers... The movie "1942" made all these faces clear. The unprecedented disaster of a nation was condensed into two hours of film. In a social atmosphere where people take food as their priority , Feng Xiaogang's counter-argument is quite clever when the new year's file is released . It has flattered the government and criticized the evil government of the previous dynasty, which contrasts with the current harmonious and prosperous age. At the same time, a change in the style of writing makes a small group of viewers with ulterior motives think of another catastrophe that happened in 1960. Many characters in the play have shadows in reality. For example, government officials: lower-level officials are full of fat and corrupt. Senior officials, indifferent and numb, do not understand the suffering of the people. In a scene, the American Times reporter met with Chiang Kai-shek. At first, Chiang Kai-shek insisted on denying the disaster. It was not until the American reporter took out the photo that Chiang Kai-shek admitted it. In the play, Chiang Kai-shek knew that Henan was so hungry that Yi Zi could eat each other, but he was unwilling to admit it. The leader of a country is indifferent and numb, regardless of the life and death of the people, only when he is caught by an American reporter, he is willing to open a warehouse and release food.
From the point of view of a small group of viewers with ulterior motives, it
is also a curved brush mapping.
The good guy in the film
is an American journalist.
Although today's China News
broadcasts the US's domination of weak countries every day,
in times of crisis,
our senior officials will go to the US consulate for asylum and
ask the Americans to call the shots for him.
If you are not stupid,
then who is loyal and who is traitor, do you need to talk about it?
