Touching the conscience,
" Thousand Miles Return " is good.
, especially the emotional expression part, is really very, very excellent.
evaluates it based on my shallow reading volume:
is the world's top performance method,
also has the convergence of traditional Chinese characteristics.
Let me describe this movie in two words,
is - "restraint",
Everything is just right "restraint".
real scene construction and framing,
explosion and special effects are both "burning money".
plus the actor's acting skills online,
does not have too much "kidnapping and sensationalism".
can really be said to be the best main theme movie I have seen in recent years.
box office exceeded 1 billion in 7 days of release, which is really a high reputation passed down by word of mouth.
also makes this video step by step towards the throne of the National Day championship in 2022.
The following begins with spoilers

First talk about my favorite part —Emotional restraint.
In many TV series or movies in the past, we have really watched too many roars, struggles and hysteria.
But in the bones of Chinese people, they are actually mostly restrained in their expression of emotions.
is more than calling for love loudly; reading oaths aloud; expressing longing; expressing pain.
Chinese people are more of a perseverance and gritting their teeth (not encouraging this spirit)
is just this kind of less passionate and griefful forbearance, is too in tune with our lives, so it just hits people's hearts.
I only talked about two scenes, but both of them involved major spoilers.
Personally, I think the spoilers of this movie will not affect your viewing experience. But if you still mind, you can read the article after watching the movie.
The first scene is:
Zhang Yi, and meets Bai Wu (played by Lao Zhang (played by Zhang Zixian)’s wife Bai Wu (played by Yin Tao ).
Originally, the main person in charge of this evacuation of overseas Chinese mission was Lao Zhang, but it was the night before departure.
A few people who had eaten and drank were standing on the street chatting, You don’t know such a dangerous place, why are several people standing on the street chatting.
As a result, the rebels suddenly exchanged fire with the armed forces, and Lao Zhang was shot in the neck artery and hung directly.
When eating hot pot, Lao Zhang was actually already like a lunch box.
Because he kept talking about his wife and children, the lens language was too full.
only Hawkeye in "Avengers 2".
Old Zhang should have been killed by the plot, so Zong Dawei could take on the important task of carrying out this task.
Otherwise he should go home and his wife will give birth soon.
After seeing Lao Zhang's wife Bai Hun, Zong Dawei's first problem was how to tell Bai Hun, Your husband is dead.
This scene was not shot from beginning to end.
Zong Dawei kept lighting cigarettes, but he couldn't get the lighter anyway.
Bai Hua took the cigarette out of his mouth and continued to ask.
At this time, the camera suddenly pulled away and pulled it to the others on the scene. Everyone was busy registering their names and organizing their luggage.
Zong Dawei and Bai Wu became a background in the distance.
No one knows what they said, nor does anyone show any physical exaggerated performance, even does not even have the scene of conventional covering his mouth, hugging and crying. When the shot of
returned to these two people, Zong Dawei should have finished explaining the matter.
Someone came over from a distance to ask Bai Hu's personnel and material distribution questions, and she did not show any sadness.
just introduced Zong Dawei to the other party again, and repeated exactly the same words she had just said to everyone.
Later Bai Huan said to Zong Dawei, I can't tell others, Lao Zhang is dead.
These more than 100 people are her employees. Everyone will collapse because of fear and lose hope and the power to go out.
The second scene is the last scene.
The last scene of the whole movie is really a stroke of great success.
After Zong Dawei, who had just completed the task, returned to Beijing, there was no warm welcome or gratitude.
There is no performance in flowers, interviews, journalists, picking up the plane.
directly moved to a ten thousand lights after get off work. had sorted out his clothes and got on the taxi home.
Like countless get off work nights for countless get off work workers, Beijing is full of congestion.
Everything is very ordinary, so ordinary that it cannot be more ordinary.
coincided with the New Year, and a huge firework bloomed in the sky above Zong Dawei's head.
The people around him did not react, and only he trembled with stress.
The crackling fireworks illuminate the night sky, and I thought about it at this time:
Even I myself have not yet come out of the tense atmosphere of the "North Mia Republic Civil War" of .
And movies have brought us back to the family.
Zong Dawei walked towards his building calmly, everything was so real and dreamy.
The neighbor who ran into him asked him if he was back? It seems like greeting a worker who goes home on time every day. The neighbors downstairs of
are arguing about some trivial decoration noise issues.
Walking at the door of his house, the door was open, The whole family was busy organizing a sumptuous reunion dinner.
Zong Dawei's wife, Under the bright light, they were holding their newborn child but had never met.
After the family looked up and saw him, they had no excited eyes, expressions and exaggerated body language at all.
is ordinary, without a trace of trembling, just said: "It's back! Wash your hands!"
Zong Dawei slowly approached his wife and took the child from her.
After being scolded by his family for not washing his hands, he hurriedly handed the child to his mother and prepared to wash his hands.
The wife, who was full of tears, gently pulled him and asked: Do you not hug your wife after holding the child?
After this hug, the camera moved away, and the family's meals were served, and the whole play ended.
This scene is really beautiful. After the mission was successful, you immediately transfer to the prosperous and warm Beijing. In addition to a sharp contrast with the battlefield, also makes you feel very sudden, and something stuck in your heart and cannot be expressed.
Until this little shy hug at the end, it was the peak of the tear point of the whole movie.
I'm still crying out this passage now.
In order to alleviate the embarrassment of swelling eyes when leaving the scene, a funny easter egg was added at the end of the film.
just give you time to calm down, put away your tears, and leave the theater.
This scene is very excellent no matter what the evaluation system in any country is placed.
also reflects the real Chinese characteristics .
There will not be too much excitement, hug, shout and vent between the family.
No matter how long you left home or what you experienced, the moment you got home, Parents will just take the luggage in your hand very ordinary way. Simply say: "Are you back?"
Of course, the family's nervousness was not described before.
Maybe because parents and relatives don’t know where they go to perform the task.
Even if they knew that when the plane landed, they had already received a notice of safe arrival, and their hearts had already landed.
So, when Zong Dawei arrived home, his family was just welcoming a man who came home from get off work normally, like an ordinary day in daily life.
is really real and lifelike, and you can clearly feel the director pressing the audience's emotions hard, which is too restrained.

In addition, let’s talk about the scene and production.
One of the producers and producers of this movie is Guo Fan Film of " Wandering Earth ". The director's work is Rao Xiaozhi in the Director's Alliance.
Use Guo Fan said: This film is more inclined to the literary drama part, telling the story of a group of ordinary people with almost no force worth "returning home" in the face of danger and hardships.
Indeed, the protagonists neither Chinese Kung Fu nor any weapons, and they can't even use pistols.
Their only way to defend is body armor .
Chapter 2 There are several places in "The Road to Return", which is really appropriate for "Bullet Train".
hit the neck
shot in the chest
shot in the chest
In "The Way to Return", Lao Zhang was shot in the neck and lost his life.
Before hiking through the desert, Cheng Lang, played by Wang Junkai, , was shot in the chest, but was saved by bulletproof vest .
Back to the movie, the unarmed Foreign Ministry staff can only rely on one mouth to clear and negotiate.
The "powerlessness" of civil servants is in contrast to the real gun and live ammunition scene where artillery fire is connected.
If you sit higher, you will have a real feeling of fighting.
Gunshots, cannons, and explosions fill everyone's ears without any plastic feeling of green screen.
It is said that the director really took more than 4 months to build a small African city in Qingdao Oriental Film Capital - "Numia Capital".
physical buildings, the structure of the house and the internal furnishings are all designed according to the wasteland style of Middle East .
From street shops to small candy drinks, Arabic logo on the broken wrapping paper on the ground, and details are very exquisite. The vegetation in the town of
is also the whole coconut tree and palm tree transported from the south.
Art guidanceLi Miao told reporters "We have scientific plans in the capital of the Numia Republic that we built in the Film City. For example, the main projects of each commercial street are different, with a vegetable market and a milk tea shop unique to the Middle East. , and there are restaurants, clothing stores, banks, etc.; small streets are distributed with pharmacies, mobile phone stores, glasses stores, communication mobile product sales stores, etc. Each store has exquisite furnishings, and you can feel the real existence when you walk in."
. The desert migration of the expatriates, which can be called a large scene, was also taken on the spot in Ningxia. Many big scenes in
, no matter which angle you analyze, are excellent.
Every scene can make the audience feel that the funds are burning.
Because the scene is realistic enough, it also adds "acting blessing" to the protagonist's performance.
The movie tells the story of diplomats is not blessed by any action scenes.
All performances can only rely on expressions and lines, and Zhang Yi really did his best.
In Zhang Yi's excellent performance, the fluent and emotional Arabic is no longer a particularly highlight.
And I think what Zhang Yi performed best is the embarrassment, fragility and fear in Zong Dawei.
Although the protagonist under the halo is still brave and responsible, , the diplomat is not Special Forces , and you have to be timid.
Unlike the heroic and upright image in many works, Zong Dawei seems to have less high awareness.
He doesn't want to go to the front line, nor does he want to participate in more work, he wants to go home.
A stinky face and a whining start.
When Zhang Yi first appeared, I was actually a little confused in my mind:
Could it be that the protagonist of the "stubborn donkey" again, with a stubborn poker face from beginning to end.
learned that there are still 1,000 people on the border that need to be rescued, and there is not enough manpower when arranging work.
Zong Dawei did not take the initiative to ask for his orders, and he still hurried in the corner and his mind was full of going home, going home, going home.
Facts have proved that Zhang Yi had many wonderful scenes in the future:
has humor, helplessness, courage, timidity, trembling, and fragility.
He was so scared that he was dying. He didn't go to save people because he was afraid of death.
"Fear of Death" is nothing to admit. Everyone is afraid of death. Only "zombies" are not afraid of death, and only "Ghost Fleet" is not afraid of death.
What's more, he is just an ordinary diplomat without any combat training. He can go to the front line to evacuate overseas Chinese, probably just because he is proficient in Arabic.
Zong Dawei's character is very "live" and is a real person.
can't hold the gun; it's so scared that it's dry retching; it's lying from beginning to end; it's all kinds of cleverness to get away with it.
He makes you think that the protagonist is a person, he is too weak and it is difficult to protect anyone.
But at the critical moment, he still had to drag his heavy legs out to take on the task.
You think his face is full of "big injustice", but you are really helpless.
If there is a reliable person, you can entrust it to you,
Who is willing to stand up in the face of danger and be a hero?
From the battlefield to the smallest family,
Many people are forced to become pillars or heroes.

Many people still think it is fake —It is impossible for evacuation of overseas Chinese to be so embarrassed?
We look back to the evacuation of overseas Chinese in Libya in 2011, which is also the prototype of the movie.
Numia Republic is of course fictional,
Numia—Libya ;
Hazaka—Gadhafi;
Tulis—Tunisia;
director's homophone is OK. There is another plot in the film that the young diplomat Cheng Lang (played by Wang Junkai) brings more than 100 people into the desert.
When evacuating overseas Chinese in Libya, a group of people did walk into the desert.
There are more people, and it is even more incredible: more than 21,000 people, there is also a baby who has just been born 15 days ago, and a mother who has just finished a caesarean section.
More than 1,000 people come from the same Chinese company - Huafeng Company.
Their project in Libya was affected and nearly a thousand employees were trapped.
And unidentified criminals attacked them in turn, their property was robbed, and the construction site turned into a sea of fire.
has no means of transportation, so it has become a luxury to go to the capital more than 1,000 kilometers away. travels over 200 kilometers of desert to Benghazi becomes the only choice.
Fortunately, these more than 1,000 people received help from nearby villagers on the way.
In order to thank the Chinese for their contributions to the construction of Libya, and also apologize for the disaster brought to the Chinese by the turmoil.
people in the village tried their best to find 20 trucks and escorted the thousands of people to Benghazi.
Finally, some shortcomings are mentioned.
First, it is a kind reminder that movies should be graded.
Many scenes are too bloody, and there are two sudden headshots.
If graded, these gun battles and bloody scenes can be said to be a very beautiful design.
There was a god reversal, that is, the government army told Zong Dawei and others that this place is very dangerous, and no matter who it is, there is a possibility of being shot. As soon as the sentence "
" fell, a bullet passed through his head.
After the first explosion scene, the ground was full of broken corpses, a passerby with only half of his body and his intestines flowing all over the ground.
And he was still alive, dragging his broken upper body to twist.
There is another scene in which the people sitting in the ruins are full of despair.
had to face the failed government soldiers, took out their pistols and pressed them against their chin, and broke themselves.
As a "smooth film expert", I naturally feel that I feel very happy to watch. can cinemas and many children who receive patriotism education .
My seat was surrounded by parents and children to watch movies. After seeing it, a child began to mutter and dare not watch it.
Second, maybe it's because Wang Junkai looks so delicate , which is incompatible with the picture.
It’s not that he didn’t act seriously enough, it can be seen that he is actually working hard to transform.
is indeed too immature. It is really far-fetched to say that 25 is really a bit far-fetched, and it looks like it is seventeen or eighteen years old.
Whether it is facial contour, hairstyle and bangs, or facial features, it seems that you have a contact lens line, has the feeling of eyeliner throughout the whole process.
It was not until the last scene that Wang Junkai gradually got into the better, but there was not much time left, and he was a little regretful.
Third, there are a few more embarrassing scenes, can actually be shortened. There is really no need to appear twice in
Roulette, so why do these people love to play roulette so much?
I once again thought of "Bullet Train".
And there is really no need to portray the same plot twice, I actually understand the director’s intention.
is to pick up the face that Zong Dawei lost because of his cowardice.
But this scene is too long and too catching, which is a bit inconsistent with the tone of the whole movie.
In addition, the rebels in the whole movie have their faces written "I am a pervert", and they all look like Azu in " New Police Story ".
(not to mention appearance)
The villain is really too stolen. In this kind of movie, there is actually no need for such a unique villain.
However, these shortcomings do not conceal the merits. Overall, "The Road to Return" is one of the best domestic movies I have watched in recent years.
Friends who haven't watched it yet are worth contributing a movie ticket.
