In the history of domestic film, there has been such a movie, which rarely gathers almost all the elite actors at home and abroad. Foreign actor Adrien Brody , "The Shawshank Redemption" male protagonist Tim Robbins have all joined this big production. It is no exaggeration to say that this lineup is very popular even now. It's hard to reproduce, not to mention that his director was Feng Xiaogang, the famous domestic director in those days, but it's hard to imagine that it is such an unprecedentedly powerful group from actors to the crew, but the film it made was almost sold out after it was released in domestic theaters. The audience broke the defense, and the score of Douban Film and Television dropped to 6.5 in 2012, which is regarded as the only failure in Feng Xiaogang's film career. After the film was released, Feng Xiaogang's box office was not enough even for the actor's salary, and the loss was a mess.
And this movie is What is the specific story of the movie "1942"
"1942" that truly reflects the historical disaster of our country? So that it is unacceptable to so many domestic audiences? In fact, everything is printed on this poster, locusts, painful portraits, blindfolded and scrawny heads screaming to the sky
The good thing is that classic works will never be buried by time, when after 2015 , The Chinese people's increased appreciation of movies has brought "1942" to the attention again, and so far, its Douban score has soared to 7.9
. What story is "1942" about?
The content of the story told in "1942" is just like Feng Xiaogang's "vernacular" line at the beginning of the movie: "There were some food problems in Henan that year.At the same time, there are many other things happening in the world, Stalingrad, Gandhi hunger strike, and Churchill's cold." This is full of humor, but when you bring it into the real history, you will find Feng Xiaogang's irony. How high are these
These historical events the Battle of Stalingrad, Mahatma Gandhi's hunger strike, each of us is familiar with it, but few people know that the famine in Henan happened with them. During the Anti-Japanese War, 300,000 compatriots in Nanjing were slaughtered, and the German army killed hundreds of thousands of Jews on the battlefield. However, the unfamiliar Henan famine hides the lives of more than 3 million compatriots. This analogy is also very appropriate. Entertainment stars can post Weibo, change girlfriends, and cut their hairstyles. They can all be searched. How many people can pay attention to the cities and places where disasters really happen?
. The main storyline
Overall, Feng Xiaogang only used two main plots in this film. One is the Henan rich man starring Zhang Guoli. During the famine, Zhang Guoli's family was robbed by bandits and forced to become one of the refugees. , and witnessed the refugees living around him leave one by one. Judging from the movie, if Zhang Guoli’s role is different from others, it is that his conscience is still alive. Even on the way to escape, he can still think of sharing a bowl Congee drinking for the refugees around
The second main line of the story is the ruling institution at that time, that is, the way the National Government handled this matter. Although Feng Xiaogang did not write a line complaining about the national institution in the refugee role, but on the screen , Feng Xiaogang has already scolded the other party bloody. For example, in the previous paragraph, there were refugees who starved to death while fleeing the famine.One second after the camera cut, the local officials were eating a lot of meat.
The most ironic line is: "The chairman has reduced two dishes from each meal to support the great cause of the Anti-Japanese War"
It can be called the current version: "Zhu Men Wine and meat stink, the road has frozen bones"
There are similar scenes. On the way to escape, the refugees starring Zhang Guoli are fleeing with the team. At this time, the Japanese army happened to pass by and they bombed the ground indiscriminately, killing and injuring the victims. Countless, and at this time in the city of Nanjing. The senior officials were rehearsing with red lacing for the officials in the US peace talks.
The official who first learned about the disaster in Henan was Li Xuejian, the leader of Henan Province. It is: "Everything the Chairman and the others talk about is bigger than mine, whether it's international exchanges or the war situation, it seems that my situation is a little small." It was only after the visit of a foreign reporter that I learned that the famine in Henan was so serious. The reporter ventured into the disaster area and took bloody photos of starving passers-by, unrecognizable children and humans being eaten by wild dogs.
At the end, Chiang Kai-shek, played by Chen Daoming, immediately summoned Li Peiji and asked about the casualties of the Henan famine. This dialogue and the scene were impressive. Chiang Kai-shek asked: How many people are counted by the Henan famine national organization?
Li Peiji: 1,062 people
Chiang Kai-shek: What about the real number?
Li Peiji: About ~ ~3 million people
Even so,When Li Peiji asked Jiang Jingguo to reduce or exempt tens of millions of tons of grain and taxes in Henan on the grounds of famine, Jiang Jingguo still chose to refuse, on the grounds: "If you have to choose between the famine and the army, and if a disaster victim starves to death, China will still China, starve the army, and we will perish." These words made Li Peiji speechless. When he left the gate of Nanjing, he came to say "this code is not one code"
. The little boy in the movie Episode
In the film "1942", there are several subplots that are worth pondering. Among them, Zhang Hanyu plays an impressive foreign priest. As a member of the escape team, Zhang Hanyu believed in God very much at first. And Catholics, he believed that the reason for the famine in Henan was that the people did not believe in God and caused disasters, and when he officially entered the evacuation team, the faith of this foreign priest was shaken. A little girl who was injured by the blast, he first recited the Bible and prayed beside the other party, then he helped the girl stop the bleeding with his hands, and finally put the Bible on the girl's wound, praying for God's manifestation
God is successful? Of course not. The girl left and Zhang Hanyu's belief collapsed, so he asked his master: "If God can't fight the devil, what's the use of us believing in him?" It is considered tasteless, but the author thinks that he is Feng Xiaogang's best inner monologue. He uses the lines of the movie characters to express the director's inner thoughts: no matter what status you are, whether you are a commoner, a high-ranking official, a rich man or a faithful believer, in front of you, When dealing with natural and man-made disasters, they often become a role,That is the "refugee"
. The influence of "1942" on Feng Xiaogang
After the film was released, Feng Xiaogang was forced to start another film " Private Custom " due to the problem of box office losses, and the result was a big box office Earning money makes up for the shortfall caused by "1942". It can be seen that Feng Xiaogang knew before making this movie that "1942" would definitely hit the street at the box office, but why did it still make it? Quoting a sentence at the end of the movie: "I don't even remember this, why do you want to write it out?"
From the author's personal point of view, it is precisely because you don't remember, so Feng Xiao just wanted to film it, a country and a nation, We must have a better understanding of the hardships we have suffered in the past, in order to cherish the hard-won life, but it is precisely because of this film that Feng Xiaogang understands that in the domestic film and television industry, there is no way out for documentary films, so from now on, Feng Xiaogang It is a pity that I have never made a similar work.
I wonder what everyone here thinks of this movie?
