On December 11, the Russian film "Hunting T34" finally met with everyone in China after a year! Just one week after its release, it won the first place in the box office trend on weekdays! And got a super high rating of 9.2! Such a struggle between the Russian army and the German army, which mainly commemorated the Russian T-34 tank, was recognized by many viewers. Like many Russian war films, this film also gave the protagonist to the most effective and representative weapon in World War II - the tank.
After the release of the movie, many viewers said that there were more shots of tanks than shots of the heroine, and it seems that Russians have a true love for tanks! Xiaobian summarized a few movie points for everyone, and then looked down.
Excellent team of excellent production, can not be bad looking!
"Hunting T34", which can be called a Russian tank hardcore movie, is based on the true story of the World War II period, and is also filmed with IMAX technology, which is a visual blockbuster brought to the audience by the entire production team that spent hundreds of days and millions of dollars!
Visual effects engineer Gusev said frankly: "In order to present the real time slowing shot, we studied all the relevant experiments in the world, and even used ultra-high-speed cameras to shoot the flight, explosion and chemical reaction of tank shells, consulted military experts and conducted countless tests to achieve visual realism." ”
In the first thirty minutes of the film, multiple bullets were staged in ultra-high-speed slow motion, and the bullets spun out and quickly crossed the tank fuselage, bringing a super visual impact to the audience. Put on the 3D glasses, this moment, as if the bullet really hit the chest.
Secondly, "Hunting T34" and "Kill Munich", which has a good reputation in China in 2019, are original production and production companies, although they tell the story of the past, but the shooting techniques, sound and picture effects, and the impact of special effects are completely close to the new audiovisual language of the young group. The excellence of a production team determines whether the film is novel and whether the effect has an impact.
"Hunting T34" won the "Iron Man Jury Special Medal" and the "Best Editing Award" at the 5th Jackie Chan International Action Film Festival, telling every audience with strength that this film is worthy of our cinema appreciation.
The plot of the movie is compact, and there is no urine spot for two hours!
The plot of the entire film is divided into three stages, the defense of Moscow, the escape of the concentration camp, and the final confrontation between the T34 and the Panther tank. The two-hour duration does not give the audience a moment to relieve the tension, the whole plot is tight and the atmosphere is tense, and the confrontation between the tanks is also very visual. Without the extensive historical retelling of previous war films, a sign at the beginning of the film explains the current situation and also hints at the final defeat of the German army.
The emotional clues between the hero and heroine in the film are also minimized, and the only scene where the two are entangled is the night after T-34 escapes from the concentration camp. But here is also a lot of viewers complained: "At the moment of escape, do you even have the heart to talk about love?" But to be fair, the female host in the film is intelligent and understands the overall situation, and is not a "brainless heroine" at all, so that the entire plot rhythm progresses very quickly.
The actors perform with heart, and the sound and picture are excellent!
There are many beautiful pictures in the film, and the depiction of the battlefield is not only depictive of sinister cruelty, but also the greatest release of natural beauty. The icy snow in the tank battle, the long-shot bird's eye view in the chase scene, the hero and heroine falling in love under the black wind of the moon, and the heart-to-heart between the heroes at the end and the sunshine of the victory of the war. Classic scenes make up "The Hunt for T34", a film that "perfectly blends romance and excitement." ”
Many of the tanks in the film are prototypes, and in order to highlight the combat ability of the T-34, the film avoids the "one dozen more" link and sets up many street battles, so as to maximize the combat strength of the T-34, and also make the whole plot not exaggerated. The actors in the film are also real-life tanks, spending three months practicing tank driving before filming begins. How can such a film that has exhausted all the thoughts from the actors to the plot to the production staff not be popular?
· A strong attitude supported by national confidence
World War II can be said to be a pain in the hearts of the Russian people, but also a memory full of national pride. As a result, Russian directors made many films reminiscent of the Period of World War II. 2010's "Brest Fortress", 2015's "Here the Dawn Is Quiet", and 2013's "Stalingrad" are all films about the heroic battles of Russia during World War II.
However, many viewers have always felt that the strength of the Russian army in the movie is exaggerated, a bit of "anti-German god film", which is like some domestic "anti-Japanese god dramas", "hand tearing devils" such a plot is really too much for the audience to watch. Such an excessively main melody plot makes the overall story not real enough, does not reproduce history, and also makes the audience feel that the perspective of the film is too subjective.
In this regard, "The Hunt for T34" can be said to fully show the respect of the Russian people for history, as well as their own national self-esteem and respect for their opponents of the year. "Hunting t34" is very calm and confident, it unabashedly shows everything about the German army, not only fully shows the ferocity of the German army, but also shows the cuteness or respectability of the German army.
In the film, the two tank commanders of the German and Russian armies have several confrontation scenes, and in the last scene, when the German commander is about to fall under the bridge with his tanks, the Russian commander does not choose to push it down directly, but instead reaches out to save him. Unexpectedly, the German commander just wanted to shake hands with him and eventually fell under the bridge himself.
Standing on the soil of history, war is always cruel and thought-provoking, what makes people feel sorry is the dedication of countless soldiers, what makes people excited is the blood during war, and it is the burst of patriotic feelings in everyone's heart. World War II has passed a long time ago, and what people should remember is not hatred, but lessons, and should cherish and treat peace in the present.
The end of the film can be said to be a sublimation, there are praise for the peaceful fighting of German soldiers, the bloodiness of soldiers, and the display of their own national self-confidence. For the history of the bloodshed of World War II, the Russian people are learning to "let go.". It's a film that praises its own country's history, a tribute to its own tank military might, but it reveals more of Russia's current respect for its own strength and past history. Such an attitude change is worth learning from every director who shoots war films at present.
As for the design of the end of the film, so far, in all the films made by the anti-fascist victories, there has not been such a design. This is the confidence of the Russians, as confident as the parade posture of tilting their heads and looking at everything: I have won, but I will not use it to hate and spit on my enemies, and I will always respect my opponents.
Throughout the film, in the face of the suppression of German weapons and tyrannical means, every Soviet character did not complain, swear or roar at the enemy, but just stared directly at the opponent, revealing a spirit of intransigence, which is the exclusive attitude of the Russians. "The Hunt for T-34" deserves to be applauded in theaters.
