Armageddon: Ghosh's ability to control the war panorama was worrying, and subtitle maps became standard

War scripts are difficult to shoot, and historical dramas are even more difficult to shoot war themes. Ghosh accepted this challenge and remade Armageddon. In the film version of "Armageddon", it is impossible for Gao Xixi to be without pressure. But we must also soberly see that Ghosh's era is the biggest advantage, and the shooting technology is not an order of magnitude compared with the 1990s.

Ghosh can assist in the shooting of war scenes through special warfare technology, and the effect will be good. Despite Ghosh's technological superiority, the ability to control the war panorama is worrisome. The panorama of war does not mean that it is all-encompassing, at least it is necessary to achieve proper detail and strategy, while taking into account the universality and viewability, so as not to be confused after reading it.

However, Ghosh's ability to control historical dramas has been criticized. Taking the new "Three Kingdoms" as an example, the taoyuan three knots of righteousness are only a short period of ten seconds, which is quite puzzling. As we all know, "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is based on Liu Guanzhang, and when it comes to Gao Xixi, it is not divided between primary and secondary.

The same problem also appeared in "Armageddon", and the distribution of ink and ink to the five major field armies (North China, Northwest China, Northeast China, East China, and Central Plains) was confusing. During the period of the War of Liberation, great victories were won from local conflicts to strategic decisive battles, which was a process of quantitative change to qualitative change, and it was inseparable from the full cooperation of the five major field armies.

Taking Liu Deng's army advancing into Dabie Mountain in 1947 as an example, this was a major turning point from strategic defense to strategic offensive. Liu Deng's army was not alone in maneuvering for thousands of miles, and there were two other units taking cover: Chen Yi and Su Yu led the outer line corps to advance into Yuwansu, and Chen Geng and Xie Fuzhi advanced into western Henan, forming a strategic offensive posture of "breakthrough in the central center and containment by both wings."

However, instead of letting Liu Deng, Chen Su, and Chen Xie appear, Gao Xixi sent them off with subtitles on the map. Military enthusiasts with a bit of a historiographical background are good to say, but for historical whites, this is very painful: the information received is incomplete. Admittedly, a 49-episode TV series cannot be comprehensive, but it also cannot pass on important historical events.

Also using subtitle maps, "Eastern Battlefield" is handled very well. In terms of time span, "Eastern Battlefield" from the September 18 Incident in 1931 to the surrender of Japan in 1945, involving no less large-scale battles than "Armageddon". "Eastern Battlefield" uses subtitled maps and war scenes to assist the audience to understand the plot in depth.

In addition to the worrying ability to control the panoramic view of the war, some historical details are also difficult to understand. To take the simplest example, Du Yuming's title of Chen Cheng is very telling. The Nationalist army has always paid attention to seniority, Chen Cheng (zi cixiu) was an instructor in the artillery section of the Whampoa Military Academy in his early years, while Du Yuming was only a first-term student of Whampoa.

Du Yuming's official position, military rank, and seniority were not enough to call Chen Cheng a "rhetorical disciple." The context of the word is very special, either the superior to the subordinate, or it is particularly familiar with the peers. Otherwise, it is impolite to call someone else's word in a hurry. People who are familiar with the internal situation in the meantime, listening to Du Yuming's rhetorical shouting, it is estimated that it will be very awkward.

Ghosh does not pay much attention to historical details, and the idioms frequently crossed in "Three Kingdoms" are unclear. The most famous terrier is Liu Bei's sentence "Yuan Shao is an unsupportable Ah Dou". When it came to "Armageddon", Du Yuming dared to call Chen Cheng "rhetoric", which was not so difficult to understand.
