On the eve of National Day, I watched the huge domestic war movie " Changjin Lake". The length of the movie is 176 minutes. It should be the longest domestic movie. The movie dare to be so long. This is also an improvement of domestic films.
Such a long movie is very common in foreign movies. "Changjin Lake" not only learned from foreign films for a long time, but the content of the film also made me see the shadow of foreign films. I was impressed by Stallone 's "The Expendables" series of films.
"Changjin Lake" is a good film, very high-level, it made me cry. The film tells the story of the war of China's to resist US aggression and aid Korea . But I don't think it is an "epic giant system", the giant system is affirmative: the number of group performances, props (weapons and equipment), and gunpowder explosion points are unprecedented. It is possible that as the country becomes stronger and funds flow out of industries such as real estate and the Internet, there will be more and more films with large investments in the film and television circles.
Why is not an "epic masterpiece"? First, the production time is not very long, and the three directors work together. Secondly, the background of the story has no span. To put it simply, our People's Volunteers entered the DPRK and blocked the US military, and then everyone started large-scale battles around Changjin Lake. The two died and the sacrifices were great. In the end, our military drove the US troops away.
"Epic" is the enlargement of the propaganda company. The film’s main creative team felt that the work was not easy, and the director’s was not easy. Because of such a big scene, the masses need to be dispatched, and so many bombings need to be coordinated. But in fact the background of the story is just a battle.
Let’s take a look at the main characters. Wu Qianli played by Wu Jing, the instructor played by Zhu Yawen, the Lei father played by Hu Jun, the platoon leader played by Li Chen, and the platoon leader played by Han Dongjun The sniper played by , the battalion commander played by Duan Yihong,These tough guys, in the battle, they are agile and skillful. They are worth a hundred. They can drive tanks and drive, and bullets and artillery can not hit them. At that moment, I immediately thought of Stallone and Jason Stan. Sen, Dolph Runge, Schwarzenegger.
Isn’t this the sequel to The Expendables? I don’t know if Stallone has filmed the fourth part. In short, this People’s War has been filmed and filmed again into personal heroism. It has been filmed into a few gods who have experienced battles and can never be killed. Fight more with less. And Wu Jing is still copying the heroic role in his Wolf Warriors.
three directors, each responsible for a part. Obviously, the final shooting of this battle was directed by Lin Chaoxian , because in addition to letting me connect with the death squads in Hollywood, it also reminds me of " Operation Red Sea ". The characters of Wu Jing, Li Chen, and Zhu Yawen and the characters of Zhang Yi in Operation Red Sea can also match up. Fortunately, Zhang Yi didn't let Zhang Yi come, otherwise it would be really easy to go to Operation Red Sea.
176 minutes, the drama in the front, too little foreshadowing, the martial arts in the back, the fighting scene of the war is too long. Of course, wonderful is very exciting, people will not get bored and dozed off the whole time. To be honest, few people in China can shoot such a beautiful martial arts show. Lin Tao is a good master of Hollywood commercials, especially gunfights. The Mekong Operation and Red Sea Operation were all very high-level and good-looking.
There are very few literary dramas, especially in the front, why did our country send volunteers to aid North Korea, and what kind of discussions have gone through. The entanglement, repeated discussions, and demonstrations, were not photographed, and stayed for a while. Of course, this part is directed by "Kay Brother", so I won't talk about it. I didn't expect him to shoot it well. His play can be ignored.
But from the perspective of the entire movie and the script, the previous literary play is very important. To shoot this powerful one has to be done by the director of Feng Xiaogang .No way, Brother Kai spent money, and he is one of the producers.
Putting aside these personnel relations, investment and capital matters, talk about several flaws in the film that are debatable:
1. The actual situation of the volunteers entering the DPRK.
We are now talking about the greatest and most touching story of the Chinese soldiers after the founding of the People’s Republic of China. The two battles are the one in Vietnam’s self-defense counterattack, and the other is the self-defense counterattack against the US and aid Korea. Before the reform and opening up of our country, it was really difficult, especially in the 1950s when New China was just established, and it was a waste of time.
These historically known, or rather tragic battles, are the indomitable and steel-like will of our soldiers. Therefore, a lot of sacrifices are not only falling on the assault road, but also a lot of tears. It is a sacrifice at other times. Such as being attacked, bombed, frozen to death, trapped to death and so on. The film has such a good opportunity to present some little-known stories to the audience.
According to historical records, due to time constraints, some volunteers entered the dynasty before they had time to prepare winter uniforms and supplies, but the picture was not highlighted. It’s just that a few comrades threw a few quilts to the soldiers in the carriage after the train started. I didn’t think it was shocking enough. In addition, the pictures of everyone suffering from freezing were not enough. It just described the scene of everyone letting each other eat potatoes, without the soldiers’ freezing. The bad description is that it is not miserable enough, and our actual soldiers are miserable.
2. The transport train of the volunteers entering North Korea was attacked.
U.S. bombers bombed our transport train. Within a few minutes before and after, the casualties and supplies, food and ammunition of a truck were not accounted for. These things were destroyed, the personnel were killed, and there was no description. Whether there was food and ammunition on the car, it did not affect the fighting behind them. Except for nothing to eat, there is no shortage of everything else. Then this scene was bombed, it didn't make much sense, just to explain it.
3. Soldiers frozen into ice sculptures.
This is the part that should not be ignored. Many people don't know this story. But it shocked the world very much, even the soldiers of Western countries were shocked.
Unfortunately,In the movie. The entire screen does not exceed five minutes. When the U.S. troops withdrew, the soldiers in front reported the general that there was a situation ahead. The general came out and saw more than a hundred people frozen to death, and their bodies remained in ambush.
When I entered the theater, I just wanted to see the reason for this story. I originally thought that the hero who died of freezing would tell a complete story. I didn't know that there was no front or back, but I discovered it from the perspective of the US military. A total of only a few minutes, a camera shake, a big scene, a few close-ups, it's over, this is too sloppy.
Fourth, drive tanks, drive cars, do everything, and the volunteers become spies for the death squad.
Several starring soldiers led by Wu Jing represent the Chinese People's Volunteers, but each of them is agile, able to drive tanks and cars.
Some people may have said, this is nothing, they just can. In 50 years, the Chinese People's Liberation Army at that time was mostly poor, uneducated, ignorant, and very native. You say that Wu Jing's young soldiers can drive cars, but the platoon leader played by him and Li Chen can also drive tanks. This is amazing. Besides, Lei Dae, played by Hu Jun, is a veteran at an age. If he wasn't from the official origin of the Kuomintang, he was a veteran who fought before liberation, and the old man could drive a car?
So when a few of them were trying to eliminate the US army with one block, it really felt like death squad agents were performing tasks. Moreover, where the plot is unreasonable, the reason why Hu Jun drives the car is to move the signal flare to the U.S. army's car and tank group, in order to divert the bombing of our army on the ground by U.S. aircraft.
But in fact, he drove away all the way. No bombs dropped at all around him. There were US tanks and cars all around him. It was the last bomb that fell on the car and killed him. if so. Then it makes no sense for him to risk his death to drive a car.
Summary: The movie is very exciting, thanks to these filmmakers, salute our great motherland, great soldiers.
If we want our people, especially young people, students to love our motherland and our soldiers more, then we still have to take more photos of the soldiers.Some short stories that reflect the reduction of soldiers in non-combat, those more reflect human nature.
Our film and television series do not lack grand battle scenes. The war is cruel, but the performance in the movie is to be beaten to death. Just put on makeup. This is somewhat dependent on the picture effect. We need to discover the subtle stories from the heart, from the daily lives of the soldiers in the war: Thank you for the down-to-earth dialogue and the inner activities of the characters. These are more impressive and more classic movie content.
Revolutionary optimism is needed, but everyone says that they are not afraid of death, and they all rush forward. The enemy (US army, Japanese army, etc.) is holding good advanced weapons and we are beaten to lose their armor. If there are too many descriptions in such a movie, it will be fake.
Heroes are first of all human beings, living people, our backward weapons, our lack of supplies, our lack of experience in warfare, we have paid a painful price to win the victory (if we want to see from the perspective of sacrifice, we don’t have win).
always these are what we want to show. The first episode of the recent TV series " Meritorious Service " is about the story of resisting US aggression and aid to Korea. The TV series is neither a giant nor an epic, but from the perspective of the background of the story and the dialogue between the characters, the description is also remarkable.
Finally, pay tribute to our loveliest person! Happy birthday to the great motherland!
