2021 is about to pass, affected by the epidemic, all walks of life have been more or less affected, the film and television industry is no exception, even so, China's film industry still has a number of excellent works. Near the end of the year, today I will recommend to you ten famous masterpieces that I think are worth watching in this year's domestic movies. (In no particular order)
The First Revolutionary
Douban 7.5
On July 1, 2021, the tribute film "Revolutionaries", which celebrates the centenary of the Communist Party of China, was released. As a main theme film, "The Revolutionary" is full of revolutionary romanticism. On the one hand, the underpinning of this romantic sentiment is the revolutionary faith of the Communists. The climax of the film is the plot of Li Dazhao's arrest. He was tortured in prison for more than 20 days but did not let up, comparing his hands to birds, pretending to smoke with branches, humming the international song in his mouth, and even joking with the shaved master before going to the hanging table, and finally looked calm, generous and righteous, showing the romantic feelings of the revolutionaries.
The second part of "Dragon and Tiger Martial Master"
Douban 8.2
The documentary film "Dragon and Tiger Martial Artist" gathers the strongest "martial arts lineup" of Chinese films such as Hong Jinbao, Yuan Heping, Cheng Xiaodong, Yuan Hua, Zhen Zidan, Qian Jiale and other Chinese films, and for the first time comprehensively reveals the vicissitudes of Hong Kong Dragon and Tiger Martial Arts for more than 60 years, showing the life path of Chinese kung fu filmmakers.
The third part of "My Father and Me"
Douban 6.9
The film is composed of four units: "Riding the Wind", "Poetry", "Duck Prophet" and "Young Journey", taking revolution, construction, reform and opening up and the new era as the historical coordinates, describing the struggle experience of several generations of fathers through the perspective of "home and country", telling the blood connection and spiritual inheritance of Chinese, and reproducing the memory of the times when Chinese worked hard.
The fourth part of "Post-90s"
Douban 8.0
"Post-90s" is definitely worth watching! Every era has the confusion and contradictions of each era, and when you seriously enter the film, at the moment when the "lying flat culture" is becoming more and more prevalent, from such a group of wise and precipitated people over the years, you will definitely begin to think about the meaning of your own life or be more determined to the path that a person has been constantly exploring. In the film, you can not only see the proud bones of Zheng Zheng as an advanced intellectual, but also see the glory years that young people should have.
The fifth part of "Auspicious Ruyi"
Douban 7.7
Comedy film director Dong Chengpeng had a sudden idea and returned to his rural hometown in Ji'an City, Tonghua City, Jilin Province, hoping to make a literary and art film about how the family celebrated the New Year. However, during the filming process of the film, the original main subject, Grandma, died of illness, which made Dong Chengpeng, as a director, change the original shooting plan. And the members of the big northeastern family who gathered because of the film also ushered in an outbreak of conflict on the first night of Chinese New Year's Eve after the loss of the old man, and also completed their final gathering.
The sixth part of "On the Cliff"
Douban 7.6
"On the Cliff" has all the elements of a traditional spy movie: car chase, gunfight, hand-to-hand combat, traitors, levels, interrogation, beatings, torture, confessions, tracking, code codes, exposure, sound attacks, stealing days and days, life and death, death as light as a feather or as heavy as Tarzan. All of this, through Zhang Yimou's scheduling, the film is so neat, smooth, and skilled, all of which prove that Zhang Yimou is old and strong, he is China's Spielberg or Eastwood, even if this is his first attempt at spy film, it is also a new peak since "The Sound of the Wind". And what is rare is that Zhang Yimou still maintains such a strong desire to create, and has been trying new genres and themes.
The Seventh Part of "See You Again in Nara"
Douban 7.4
With a soothing and fresh rhythm of road movies, the film combines the local kindness, beautiful customs and customs of Nara with the story of family searching, creating a great love between the world. In the film, whether it is the mother who adopted the post-war orphans played by Wu Yanshu, or the children of the orphans who remained in China played by Yingze, they all suffered the impact and pain of that war. However, all the hardships and hardships are brushed over in the words in an understated tone. Including the picture and music, all the messages are bright and warm.
Part VIII: White Snake 2: The Green Snake Robbery
Although "White Snake 2: Green Snake Robbery" was born out of "The Legend of the White Snake", the film has no intention of reproducing the classic section of the original work, but on the basis of continuing the original character relationship and core, it chooses Xiao Qing's perspective to interpret the classic. The film tells the story of women's self-growth and transcendence, although it retains Xiaoqing's original playful and independent personality, but on this basis, it also adds the characteristics of women today, appearing resolute and brave. This kind of growth-type character image fully demonstrates the awakening of women's self-awareness and the essence of pursuing the true self, which is more likely to arouse the empathy of the audience.
The ninth part of "Hello, Lee Huan Ying"
Douban 7.8
In this year's Lunar New Year movies, "Hello, Li Huanying" became the biggest dark horse, and the reputation went all the way up, successfully counterattacking the much-anticipated "Detective Chinatown 3", and suppressing "Tang Detective 3" at the box office for many consecutive days. A few days ago, the website of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and the State Supervision Commission rarely published a long commentary: "Hello <, Li Huanying >, why is it so touching people's hearts", the article praised: "The audience sat in the movie theater, at first they were frequently laughed at, and then they burst into tears, countless tears, the film used warm and sincere artistic techniques to present delicate and selfless maternal love, touching the hearts of countless people."
The tenth "Chosin Lake"
In order to reproduce the whole process of this battle in a panoramic manner, the main creative team has gone through more than 5 years of script polishing, more than two years of meticulous preparation, more than 70,000 extras participating, super large-scale costumes, props, military equipment preparations, and more than 100 kilometers of battle tactical design content. Many martyrs were frozen in a posture of holding guns, reflecting the revolutionary spirit of the volunteer soldiers who obeyed orders and regarded death as if they were returning home, and did not shrink back when frozen into ice sculptures. As a domestic war history film, "Chosin Lake" is indeed shot to a high standard, the story is shocking and touching, the war scene is magnificent and atmospheric, and it is bloody.
