What kind of movie deserves such a high evaluation?

What is exciting is not only the lineup, but also the subject matter itself. The second battle of to resist US aggression and aid Korea In the battle of Changjin Lake was the most tragic and hardest battle to fight. The U.S. troop "Polar Bear Corps" is powerful and should not be underestimated. The gap in supplies between China and the United States is even more sad. On one side are fighter cannons and leather jackets, on the other are rifle grenades and blouses; on the other is the fire of Thanksgiving. Chicken feast, one side is black frozen potatoes that can break your teeth. Weather conditions of more than 40 degrees below zero, no supplies, this is a desperate contest between tenacious will and harsh environment, fearless spirit and cold steel.
The three leading directors joined forces to create the first war film in Chinese film history
, with a luxurious cast and classic actor. There must be a heavyweight director in charge. Chen Kaige , Tsui Hark , Lin Chaoxian The three people joined forces and performed their own duties to play their own advantages.
film production company Bona Film Group boss Yu Dong said in the interview that director Chen Kaige was responsible for the beginning of the film’s entry of volunteer soldiers into North Korea. These scenes are very important. Director Chen has perfect grasp of the characteristics of the times and the character of the characters; Director Tsui Hark has an overview of the overall situation,Responsible for regulating the overall details of the film and supplementing the completeness of the story; Hong Kong director Lin Chaoxian has created " Red Sea Operation" and other heavyweight war blockbusters. With rich experience in action dramas, he will give full play to his strengths and be responsible for the post-film. Part of the shaping of the big scene of the Sino-US war.
The three directors worked together to complete such a grand production, and everyone tried their best.
Director Tsui Hark is very attentive to every detail in the movie, ranging from makeup and hair design, movie sound effects to camera control and actors coordination. The most rare thing is that, at the age of 71, he retains the habit of hand-painted movie sub-scene scripts. Each picture follows the perfect composition ratio, vivid and delicate, and well-conceived, just like the shots taken. I hope that this manuscript will be made public like the manuscript of " Di Renjie: The Empire of the Sky ". Let us once again feel the shock brought by " Old Monster Xu ".
Director Lin Chaoxian is very ingenious and polishes every frame and every shot of the movie. Although the part of "Blood War and Chaos World" is only 4 minutes in the feature film, in order to pursue the best visual effects, he tried his best. The preliminary preparations only took 1 month! The one-shot shooting technique and its ability to test the director's scheduling ability, he strives for perfection, spent 10 days shooting, plus post-production special effects for a total of 10 months, keep improving!
In the whole movie, what impressed me the most was the literary drama directed by Chen Kaige. Director Chen's personal style is extremely strong, high-level restrained emotional expression, unique and unique aesthetic language, whether it is the external lens picture, or the inner value trend and structural framework, all continue his heritage and basic ideas.
In his previous works, Director Chen was good at integrating small people into the historical environment, and the collision between the two gave off fierce sparks.Various characters under the pressure of fate will shine with incomparably dazzling light. However, this process of repeated polishing is often accompanied by a sense of sorrow. In this helpless elegy, one often devotes oneself to thinking about history and considering human nature.
Combining scatter narrative, personal fate and family and country feelings, director Chen Kaige is the best in the audience
For a 3-hour movie, the beginning is very important. It determines the tone of the whole work. It also determines whether the audience can "enter into the play" to have a sense of faith in the story, and is willing to follow the creator to experience the sorrows and joys of the characters. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is the soul of the entire film.
When the dusty veterans returned home by boat, the shimmering lake reflected the shadow of the Jiangnan Water Town, which was as beautiful and clear as a picture scroll. This is Wu Wanli's picture of returning home from thousands of miles, and it is also a rare poetic and picturesque image in the film. So I am willing to believe in Wu Wanli's dream, and always remember that he has a pair of elderly parents who are waiting for him to return home to build a house.
In the whole movie, the scene that shocked me the most was also directed by Chen Kaige.
The recruit Wu Wanli had conflicts with the veterans. Angrily, he wanted to jump off the car and leave, but at the moment when the train door was opened, the Great Wall of China rushed towards his face and stalked his eyes! The winding Great Wall is like a circling giant dragon, adjusting and living in the winter and snow, waiting for the moment when it returns to the sky.
"I know thousands of miles of clouds, not as high as Yao's order three feet high", this is too Chen Kaige! This kind of deep-rooted romance, without a single line, is already better than a thousand words.
Buddha said: "What you think and see, what you see is what you get." At this moment, there is no need to think about the authenticity of this scene. Movies are originally art that transcends reality. Those soldiers who resolutely left their hometowns and rushed to the battlefield thought about the land of China and Ping An Tai, and what they saw was the eternal vigor of the Great Wall, and what they got was the prosperous and prosperous scene of the motherland.
Seeing this, my hanging heart is also let go, because this scene is more condensing, and it does not let the movie fall into the stereotype of brothers' reconciliation. In an incomparably romantic way, from a deeper and more far-reaching conception, he completed a perfect turn in the fate of the characters and the direction of the story.
It is like a solemn ceremony. Warriors from all over the world, with different ages and different experiences, have reached a unity. They will use their flesh and blood to build a "wall" that is stronger than the Great Wall, like a time spanning time and space. Communication, these young faces have taken over the tenacity of the soldiers for thousands of years to defend their homes and nations from this moment on.
There are many other details in the part that Director Chen is responsible for. When Wu Qianli kowtows to his parents after returning home, the tears shed; the Chang'anmen with a glimpse when the volunteers gather; and On the train to North Korea, the vivid girl who went to see off and her red scarf fluttering in the wind... These pictures may not have much ink, but one detail after another connects the whole movie, suggesting the characters. The direction of emotion and destiny.
What’s more rare is that the beginning part of the film adopts a group scatter narrative strategy, from the beautiful Jiangnan town to the solemn and majestic Tiananmen Square, from the parents to the comrades-in-arms, from the small family to everyone. In the whole narrative process, the enemy’s perspective is also taken into consideration. The camera switch is so many and fast, but it doesn't make people feel chaotic. At the beginning of the whole hour, the narrative is smooth and integrated, and the beginning of Director Chen really stands!
There are many people on the Internet who have not seen a movie and make their own judgments. There are not a few of them directed against Chen Kaige. I hope that everyone can enter the cinema as an audience and enjoy the watching process instead of being a critic. , Wearing colored glasses preconceived, freely commenting on the director and the actors.
"Changjin Lake" is an excellent work, I hope it will hit the box office!
