After the online version of Chosin Lake was opened, I watched it carefully again, today we first talk about the hidden details, and finally do a film review, the details that we all know will not be too much to repeat, I will only talk about the details I found.
The first detail wu qianli opened the ashes are not wu baili's ashes, because of the relationship between war and time, Wu Qianli did not have time to cremate Wu Baili's body and bring it home, going home to hold the ashes is just hoping that the family can rest assured, as mentioned later, the reason why the house was built over there is because they want their families to be together.
The second detail of the protagonist's company in the movie is called the Seventh Interspersed Company, which is the epitome of the interspersed and roundabout tactics of our army in the Korean War, and describes in detail the strategy and tactics of our army through the story of the seventh company, and the forced march of rapid assault. Interspersed with tactics, large troops dispersed into small units to march separately, and finally assembled to launch a general attack, out of nowhere, emphasizing the surprise, highlighting the fast and slow, which is well shown in the movie.
The third Wu Qianli did not write Wanli's birthday in the Seven Glory Book, I think it is not to see Wanli sacrifice, some viewers think that it is to show that Qianli has been away from home for too long and forgot Wanli's birthday, but please see the screenshot.
Let's take a look at where Chosin Lake is good and what are its shortcomings.
The first excludes the inherent narrative style of the original hero film, which is no longer a personal ability, a personal sacrifice. Instead, it is about strategy, about the collective, and highlighting the collective through the individual, so that the whole film can be restored more realistically and let the audience watch more macroscopically.
Second, the content of the whole film is huge, and it can be unified into a whole, which is a very rare thing.
The third is to display the strategic objectives, strategic methods, and tactical rationing of our army in an all-round way throughout the war.
The fourth is no longer a one-nine-open hero movie, but has become a four-five-open or even five-open movie, the original some hero movies are good at using one-nine-open or two-eight-open, to reflect the strength of the enemy, our weakness, in each hero heroic sacrifice heroic righteousness, and finally god-like reversal of the war situation. Chosin Lake, on the other hand, avoided this method and made the description of this war four or five or five open by (our strategy and tactics, the quality of our army's soldiers, the execution of our army, the tactics of the enemy army, and the enemy's light enemy). There are also heroic sacrifices in the film, and there are also sensationalisms, which are integrated into the whole to make the audience more realistic and more touching.
There are also some deficiencies in the film.
The first film was shot with a lot of XR technology, but it made the whole film lack realism. I think the core realism of this film should be greater than the sense of mood.
The second Wu Wanli entered the battlefield without receiving formal military training, which was basically impossible after the establishment of our country in four or nine years, and if he had received training, he could not even know the bullet structure.
The third is also the problem that I think is relatively big, the problem of the actor's lines. You can look at the line twist at 38:52 seconds, the director wants to express too much.
Fourth Huang Xuan's portrayal of Mao Anying's notice. It is a failure, lacking in simplicity, and has been holding on.
Overall, I think "Chosin Lake" deserves this box office, changing too many sets of editions in the past, which is of great significance to the reform of the form and content of Chinese films in the future.
