What is a good movie? Ten thousand people, maybe ten thousand answers.
html On September 30, "Ten Thousand Miles Homecoming" was released. With the blessing of patriotism, there is no doubt that it has become the biggest dark horse in the National Day movie. In the end, the box office exceeded 1.5 billion yuan, and the Douban score also reached 7.4. Among the relatively well-known movies this year, the score is among the best.
first learned about this movie when it was recommended by friends and family at the dinner table. Later, I saw many negative reviews on the Internet. Some criticized Brother Kaizi and some criticized the villain. In the end, I did not go to the cinema to watch it. It was not until it was launched on streaming media that I finally got a glimpse of the true story.
Is Brother Kaizi’s acting really that bad? No!
Is that movie really that good? Neither!
Although the actors are all online, the story is bland, the twists are blunt, and the image is stereotyped. It is neither as hearty as " Wolf Warriors " nor as twists and turns as " Operation Red Sea ". It's hard to imagine that the director of this movie is Rao Xiaozhi, the same director who made "The Unknown".
To be honest, I personally feel that this movie is not as good-looking as " Life Events ". The reason for criticizing "Life Events" in the last issue was because I was angry at it. As for this movie, I actually didn’t want to comment on it because it was so boring! My personal score is 6.5 points, 6 points belong to this film, and 0.5 points are dedicated to Chinese diplomats.
1, Deliberate plot
"Ten Thousand Miles Home" is adapted from the 2011 Libyan evacuation incident. Many plots have realistic prototypes, but they have certain conflicts with the realistic prototypes. Many plots are even very blunt and deliberate .
In order to increase the sense of conflict and make the movie better to watch, the director very deliberately added the plot of Wang Xun and others eavesdropped, escaped, found them again, and had disputes with anti-government armed forces, or terrorists.
can be said to be very deliberate, adding conflicts in order to increase the climax, and deliberately creating conflicts in order to highlight Zong Dawei's character growth.
Why did Wang Xun and the others escape? Don't you know that if you are with an official, you are more likely to be rescued? Why do you think that you have a higher chance of survival in the chaos of war?
Is it just a guess?
Why did the local Wadil follow to rescue the Chinese in the war zone? He will go to the more dangerous areas controlled by the anti-government armed forces later. Didn't he see that other people in his own country were being killed, but foreigners still have passports and can they save lives? What is the reason for fighting so hard?
Let the audience guess?
How did Zong Dawei, who was initially cowardly and fearful, suddenly become brave? Just because he answered the phone and knew that his wife would not divorce him and that the child was born, could he choose to die?
When a child is born, isn’t there more reason to be greedy for life?
The first half of the film depicts Zong Dawei’s complaints and his timidity. However, due to Zhang Ning’s sudden death, he was forced to shoulder the heavy burden. Everything was very smooth and natural. How come at the end, he suddenly became heroic for no reason?
The first half of the movie was very smooth and natural, but since being overheard, all the plots and all the characters have become inexplicable. I don’t know why they are suddenly arrogant, and I don’t know why they are suddenly brave.
2, Deliberate Conflict
When the movie was released, many bloggers who had seen it complained about it and even cursed Cheng Lang played by Brother Kaizi, but I didn’t have much reaction when I watched it.
Because of the conflict between Cheng Lang and Zong Dawei, is not a conflict between sincerity and white lies, but a conflict between democracy and survival .What Cheng Lang represents is the hypocritical thinking of the Western white left; and what Zong Dawei represents is our life-first thinking. Who is right? Who is wrong?
Is democracy wrong? No!
Is it wrong to put life first? Of course not!
is wrong because the director deliberately created the conflict, deliberately, and there is no need ! If Cheng Lang studied abroad all year round, he would be a consultant invited back by the Chinese, similar to and Hu Shi. So it is logical that Cheng Lang's pursuit of democracy conflicts with Zong Dawei, because he does not understand the national conditions, the people, and our handling methods.
But who is Cheng Lang? It's the second generation of the military!
His father was a soldier, probably an officer. Didn't he teach him that soldiers should obey orders? Didn’t you teach other people how to behave? Therefore, it is not wrong to say that Cheng Lang's character is wrong, but it is obviously a character deliberately designed for the needs of the plot. It can be said to be very deliberate.
3, the mentally retarded villain
The first half of the movie was good until the villain of the movie appeared.
The first thing to explain is that this person is not an anti-government armed force. Because he ignores life and kills civilians in his country, he is a terrorist. But this terrorist is not only not scary in the movie, but also very stupid! He is the kind of idiot who has a problem with his brain!
Faced with a person who is completely controlled by him, he wants to play Russian roulette with the other person. Isn't this a mental problem?
For example, you surround a group of enemies with soldiers, and the leader of the enemy is frightened. Instead of surrendering or killing the enemy, you run to the front of the formation and play rock, paper, scissors with the enemy. Whoever loses is given a slap in the face.
If the opponent loses and you slap him, everyone will think it is forced by the situation; but if you lose and get slapped by the opponent, you may lose all your subordinates and make the opponent fight back. Will you still play rock, paper, scissors?
So I have always been puzzled. The leader of the terrorists risked his life against a prisoner. If he won, there would be no reward, but if he lost, he would lose everything. Why would he fight for ? Wouldn't it be better to just let your men kill them?
In the end, he was frightened by Brother Kaizi’s camera. Terrorists, murderers and arsonists, all kinds of evildoers, he was actually frightened by the camera. You are very brave when you kill your own countrymen, but you don't dare to kill us?
Are the terrorists in "Operation Red Sea" afraid of Chinese citizens? Are the foreign mercenaries in "Wolf Warrior 2" afraid of Chinese citizens? Don’t terrorists in the real world kill Chinese people? Wasn't the British Embassy also attacked?
understands that the director wants to tell everyone about the international status of the Chinese people abroad and the deterrence of our country to external countries, but this villain is really not very smart.
4. Excellent acting skills
Although the plot of the movie is not particularly good, the acting skills of the lead actor are indeed very good.
Yin Tao has no outstanding features in the early stage, but after the plane flew back to China, the tense nerves were relaxed, and the tears shed when the joy, grievance and sadness burst out in my heart were really contagious and the acting was very good.
Zhang Yi performed better than Yin Tao. Zhang Yi performed the cowardice of ordinary people and the fear of forced bravery. Especially the last Russian roulette scene, the fear, the forced bravery after fear, and the encouragement of gritted teeth are all very vividly played.
Especially the habitual head tilt when shooting, absolutely amazing!
He handles the complex emotions of not being able to retreat but not wanting to die, being scared but also feeling lucky (the bullet can fly past his head) very well. It feels like a five-star killer getting burned after eating noodles. It is a stroke of genius!
Finally, it must be said that Luoxue is commenting on this movie, not criticizing patriotism. I am proud of the strength of the motherland, and I use my own small strength to contribute to the prosperity of the motherland, but I prefer movies that can truly inspire everyone's patriotism, rather than some deliberate plots .
Patriotism is never just a saying!
was the refusal to watch the NBA when the spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs responded to NBA being anti-China. It was also the rejection of H&M, Nike, Adidas, Uniqlo after the Xinjiang cotton incident. We are unlikely to go to war in peacetime, but we can reject those anti-China brands. I no longer wear Nike or Adidas. Friends who have read this tweet, let us boycott them together.
Well, movie reviews seek common ground while reserving differences, and everyone has their own opinions!
occasionally updates Luoxue’s movies. That’s all for today. If you think Luoxue’s words are reasonable, please comment and like them. If you want to pay attention, it must be great!
