After the release of "
,000 miles of homecoming ", the general evaluation is "real", which may be because it is more realistic and not as simple as the action movie. In addition, the plot involves some content about international law and diplomatic common sense, some viewers' understanding of the details of the movie will be deviated.
This article finds twelve details worth paying attention to from the plot of "The Road to Return", and interprets them in detail, and serves as a reference.
1. The conflict between Zong Dawei and Cheng Lang
. Zong Dawei and Cheng Lang of the Consular Protection Center were originally responsible for messengers. They sent the documents of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to Numia Airport and returned on the same plane, but the two gave their seats to their compatriots and walked with the evacuation of overseas Chinese troops.
Zong Dawei's wife is going to have a baby, but she is the second child after a miscarriage. The relationship between the two is still a little nervous, and it is understandable that he is anxious to go back.
However, the Embassy in Numia did not have enough manpower when it arranged the evacuation task. It needed someone with experience to help you out a mission. If it were put in the past, Zong Dawei would definitely raise his hand to sign up immediately, because he was not only experienced and knew Ai, but also an advanced individual in the department. This honorary title is not only a reward but also an incentive. Who will go if you don’t go?
Zong Dawei didn't want to go in his heart. I guess fathers with children would understand that mood. At this time, the young Cheng Lang volunteered to sign up, and immediately flashed Zong Dawei.
Cheng Lang is young and has no experience and does not know how to use A-language. In this case, he took the initiative to register, which was equivalent to embarrassing Zong Dawei in public, making him feel a little embarrassed. After all, the two of them were traveling together this time, and Cheng Lang was only a seventh-level escort, which was three levels worse than the first-class secretary Zong Dawei by level. The soldier charges and the high-ranking official retreats. This is not our tradition. When you return to the ministry, where will you put Zong Dawei's face?
, in contrast, Zong Dawei would be upset even if he wanted to go there, and he felt a little bit forced to go to Liangshan. If there was no conflict, it would be strange.
2. People who learn Arabic
Chapter Ning teased Zong Dawei's hardship and fatigue for so many years because he learned Arabic.
If you want to go to heaven, learn Arabic , you can go to Dubai , Doha for ease.
If you want to go to hell, learn Arabic. You can accumulate experience in battlefield survival in Iraq , Lebanon, Syria , Yemen , Sudan , Somalia , Libya and other places.
3. The first "mask man"
Zong Dawei argued against Zhang Ning, "I have worn a mask for a long time, and it really makes you face." The original source of this sentence is said to be Mr. Lu Xun, but some people have verified that Lu Xun has never said it (this kind of thing is very common on the Internet). Anyway, the original saying is: wearing a mask for too long will grow on the face, and if you want to remove it, unless you hurt your muscles and bones and peel them off.
"I have worn the mask for a long time, and it really makes you look like a face" appeared in the movie three times. This is the first time. Zong Dawei confronted Zhang Ning. The general meaning is that Zhang Ning seems to be very dedicated, and has been working in Africa for many years, and has brought his wife, and even adopted a local orphan. But behind the mask of Jingye, he just wanted to take over the class of the counselor Yan Xingzhou.
Zhang Ning was angry. He couldn't say that he didn't want to take over. He thought Zong Dawei misunderstood him. Zhang Ning actually loved this second hometown very much, and the subsequent plot was also shown.
4. Annoying diplomat
In order to get thousands of compatriots to obtain permission to leave the country, Zong Dawei used various means to deal with meticulous border officials. Some people think that Zhang Yi is not good, unlike a slick person, he should let Shen Teng play.
This is a quarrel. Zong Dawei is not a slick character. He just has no choice but to force a smile to deal with the border officials. He and the border officials know this well. In that case, Zong Dawei can't beat others.
Similarly, border officials are also very upset. Zong Dawei is a diplomat. He has diplomatic passport . Even if the border officials annoy him, he must respect Zong Dawei and cannot be treated rudely. So he said that Zong Dawei is a "noying diplomat."
5. Numia driver old man
Zong Dawei temporary rescue team has a local old man. He is very kind and kind, and has won the love of many audiences. Unfortunately, he died in a bad life.
This old man should have a prototype. At that time, 936 people from Ningbo Huafeng Construction Company were trapped in a city in Libya. They encountered many difficulties during the evacuation. Fortunately, they met a manor (probably a tribal leader or something) in a passing village. The manor was very enthusiastic about Chinese workers. Not only did he arrange food and accommodation, but he also found ten trucks and took thousands of workers to Benghazi .
The author estimates that the prototype of this driver should be the leader of a tribe in Libya.
6. Huaxing Company
The 125 compatriots rescued in "The Road to Return" are mainly from Huaxing Company, including Zhang Ning's wife Bai Wu, who is also from that company. Some people say the prototype of this company is Huawei , and some people say it is China Construction .
In fact, the prototype of Huaxing Company should be the Huafeng Company mentioned above. They encountered multiple robberies (corresponding lines in the film: five robberies). During the evacuation, 936 people traveled 150 kilometers across the desert and arrived at the port of Benghazi three days later, where they met the embassy.
It is said that Huafeng Company has suffered too much loss in Libya, resulting in poor flow of funds, and the company's operations are difficult. The company declared bankruptcy a few years later.
7. Star Lights
When Zong Dawei, Cheng Lang and the old driver drove together to find Bai Hun and others in Huaxing Company, a familiar melody sounded, and someone in the cinema immediately said "Sailor". Of course, it was actually "Star Lights ." The preludes of these two songs are very similar and are indeed easy to mess up.
Many viewers said that the song "Lighting the Lamps" is probably the easiest moment in "The Road Back", and some viewers said that it was a touching moment.
In fact, Zheng Zhihua 's creation of "Stars Lighting" has an intrinsic expression, but the lyrics are literally in line with "The Road Back to the World", and driving a car on the desert, which is also very suitable for the song.
8. Should we say
0. On the issue of deciding whether to tell the truth about Huaxing employees, Zong Dawei and Cheng Lang had a fierce debate.
Zong Dawei believes it is better not to tell the truth. Cheng Lang believes that the truth should be told, and the destination may be just a pit.
Starting from reality, of course Zong Dawei's choice is right, because crossing the desert requires belief and unity. Once the hearts of the people are dispersed, it will be difficult to lead the team. No matter what the result is, the plan will be implemented first, and the people will be left to fate.
If Cheng Lang follows Cheng Lang's approach, the team will have arguments or even splits on the road, which will only increase worries and increase internal friction. Once people's hearts are dispersed, it will be even more dangerous.
9. The second mask
Cheng Lang used Zong Dawei's words "I have worn the mask for a long time, and it really became your face." He mocked Zong Dawei. The surface meaning seemed to mean Zong Dawei lying, and the connotation meaning probably was "excellent employee" that was Zong Dawei's mask. He really thought he was excellent in all aspects.
Of course, Cheng Lang's words are actually unreasonable. Zong Dawei's choice in this matter is an experience, and it has nothing to do with whether he is an excellent employee. Cheng Lang is obviously an uncontrollable voice.
10. Two Russian roulette
Rebel leader Mufta and Zong Dawei played two Russian roulette games. The first time, Zong Dawei was cowardly and did not dare to play immediately. The hesitation led to the killing of the local driver. The old man deliberately pointed a gun at Mufta, which was actually to save Zong Dawei and the others. He believed that it was not worthy of letting Zong Dawei and the others take their lives for him.
It is normal for Zong Dawei to not dare to play Russian roulette for the first time. He is a diplomat. He usually comes into contact with civilized people when he is at work. Even if he comes into contact with the army, he is mostly government troops. How can he be so wild? Besides, if he is young and energetic, he might have played, but he is already a middle-aged man with a family, a wife and a child. Who would want to fight with this foreign rebel whose life is worthless?
There is another reason. Zong Dawei is in the rebel base. He can't run out even if he wins, and he will die in vain if he loses. Mufta buried him directly in the desert. At that time, Zong Dawei's ending will be missing. Where can I reason about it?
is just a joke. Wasn’t Liu Minghui, played by Wang Xun, on the scene at that time? Let him get in. This kid once loaded five bullets in the gun and didn't lose.
The second time is different. It was on the border between Numia and Tulis. There were many people passing by Tulis opposite Tulis. Not only are there many people brave enough, but the key is that even if they die, some people will testify that Zong Dawei died to rescue his compatriots.
11, the third mask
There is a debate on the Internet whether Zong Dawei knew there were no bullets in the gun before the sixth gun in Russian roulette.
According to the plot, he should have known that because Mufta's fifth shot did not fire, it proved that he had won, but when he had already won, Mufta suddenly changed his words and refused to let Zong Dawei fire the sixth shot.
At that moment, with Zong Dawei's reaction ability and experience, he should be able to judge that there is very likely no bullet in the gun. He pulled the trigger before Mufta finished speaking, just to make Mufta look ugly.
Zong Dawei said to Mufta the third time in the film: "I have worn the mask for a long time, and it has really become your face." On the surface, this is of course Mufta's outfit, and he does have a mask on his face. The meaning of
is also very obvious. Mufta's Russian roulette is a trick, which is used to fool people. He used this method to instill a thought of "God bless him" in his subordinates. This trick was played by Mr. Chen and Mr. Wu more than two thousand years ago. Later, Mr. Hong and Mr. Yang also started killing because of this trick.
So, when Mufta's men saw that there were no bullets in the gun, they were in a state of being fooled. This is because others deceived money, Mufta is cheating his life.
12. Mufta dared not kill Zong Dawei
Why did Mufta be afraid when facing the camera and mobile phone camera, and let Zong Dawei leave obediently.
At the place where the first time playing roulette, Mufta dared to kill Zong Dawei. After killing him, he buried him in the desert and refused to admit his debts. No one can do anything to him.
However, it is not possible on the border between Numia and Tulis. At that time, the Mufta rebels had occupied the capital and changed from rebels to government forces. The next step is that they want to become a legal regime, they must be recognized internationally. The country where Zong Dawei is located is UN Security Council The "three permanent members" among the five permanent members. They can't afford to offend them. If there is anything, a veto will be enough for you.
Once the video of Mufta killing a diplomat with a diplomatic passport is uploaded to the Internet, Mufta will wait for to impose international sanctions on . At that time, he will still be a rebel and has no legality, and this battle will be in vain.
Total, "The Return of a Thousand Miles" is adapted from the real evacuation of overseas Chinese. It pursues reality and meticulousness in narratives. The details that should be taken into account must be taken into account. The view may not be as satisfying as war films, but in reality, it is a ceiling-like existence, which is worth the audience's careful savoring.
