I admit I was excited.
After watching "Chosin Lake", I was greatly touched!
Eager to see the old movie from 14 years ago.
I don't say the name!
You can already guess!
Yes, it's The Gathering!
I thought I was the only one doing it.
Went to the Douban comment area, only to find out.
So many people too!
This movie also has the plot of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea.
It's short, but it's still classic.
And "The Gathering", which is a war theme,
The 2007 film, Douban 8.1 points.
After watching "Chosin Lake", look back at this movie again.
It has a different taste.
Once, I thought it was unremarkable, just a glimpse of Feng Xiaogang.
Now it is found that 14 years later, "The Gathering" has been chased, but it has never been surpassed.
1: Introduction
In the vast snow, a personnel carrier roared past.
Lao Gu (Zhang Hanyu) looked at it.
The danger has passed, and the signal can be passed.
Erdou (Deng Chao) stopped before he took a few steps.
Click, step on the mine.
Teammates want to see The Second Fight.
Old Gu stopped his comrades and told them to follow the footprints and retreat the same way.
He followed the footprints himself and walked up.
Just as they were about to look at the mines, two U.S. tanks drove up. Including Erdou, they were all a little flustered, but Lao Gu was unusually sober. We are wearing the clothes of the enemy, don't be afraid.
Therefore, he calmly ordered a cigarette to give the second bucket.
The U.S. troops came up to ask for directions, the language was not clear, and they were not exposed.
When the US military saw the mines under the feet of Erdou, it was also frightened, and quickly beckoned its companions and drove away in tanks.
Lao Gu inserted a knife into the bottom of Erdou's leather shoes, held it down with his hand, and let Erdou pull out his foot so that he could get out of danger, but at the same time, Lao Gu was also in danger.
Erdou: What do you do when I pull it out?
Old Gu: I have a way, you are the eyes of those dozens of cannons, pulling out your legs and leaving.
Erdou: Bomb me can be just one leg, and you will be completely gone.
Lao Gu: You don't sound the cannon every day, I can't hear it at all, the rallying sign plugs my ears and blows endlessly, my brothers all hear it, I don't hear it, I don't hear it, I see my 47 brothers.
Erdou: Big brother, you can't do without!
The two actors have no exaggerated facial expressions, only low conversations.
However, the audience raised their hearts to the throat.
After a while, Erdou arrived at the destination, successfully locked on to the target, blew up the target bridge, and completed the mission.
Shells roared overhead.
The picture of his old comrades-in-arms became clear again.
2: The first half of the war, the second half of the comrades
Constantly fighting, so that Lao Gu can briefly escape the knot that haunts his ears, and now that the battle is over, the hero deserves to be respected. Because Lao Gu's more than forty brothers could not find their bodies and could not prove their identities, they became unsung heroes, and Lao Gu was not willing.
This is the most direct dramatic conflict of the movie "The Gathering", simple and clear.
The "assembly number" in the first half symbolizes the glorious mission of the soldiers.
"If you can't hear the trumpet, you're the last one left, and you'll have to give it to me." The Ninth Company obeyed the order and held its position, containing most of the enemy's forces. The last 1 man did not give in and successfully completed the task.
The "rallying sign" in the second half symbolizes the dedication and glory of the soldiers' blood and tears!
When Lao Gu was on the watchtower, he heard the news of "found", a veteran choked like a child, "Can't curse me, don't curse me", a sentence said his grievances, he was aggrieved for the comrades who died in the Ninth Company.
When the finale, Lao Gu accepted the ceremony of honoring the brothers who died in place of the Ninth Company, the rallying horn sounded, and how many people did not shed tears? Xiaobian read it several times intermittently, and each time he cried a lot.
The country will remember you, and the people will think of you.
If you don't fight that battle, the next generation will fight it.
The war scenes in "The Gathering" are not many but fierce, and the high-density battles in the first few minutes are bloody to watch. There are not many characters in "The Gathering", but each one is portrayed in flesh and blood, which is impressive.

Wait a minute!
These names are still very clear to this day.
Many years after the release of "The Gathering Number", Feng Xiaogang said in an interview that the film originally had two versions of the ending.
The first version is the ending of the "Assembly Number" film that everyone saw, the remains of the heroes were found, the assembly number was blown again, and Lao Gu accepted the medal ceremony for the soldiers of the Ninth Company.
Another version of the more tragic, Zhang Hanyu played by Lao Gu dug in the coal yard for a long time, still did not dig the remains of the soldiers, and finally he held half a steamed bun in his hand and froze to death in the scrap coal kiln.
In the end, the reason for using the first version of the ending, Feng Xiaogang gave the answer himself.
Although the ending of the second version may be more dramatic, but it is too sad and he does not like it, he still hopes that the things that Lao Gu insists on will be realized, and the ending that the audience hopes to see will be shown.
I vaguely remember that when I heard the two versions of the ending, I was in tears again.
I don't want to comment on the endings of these two versions, which is better or worse!
I just want to say!
The deeds of heroes should be remembered, and the spirit of heroes needs to be passed on.
3: Beyond
War-themed films have historically been unsatisfactory at the box office, both domestic and Hollywood. Don't be fooled by this, whether it's Saving Private Ryan or The Gathering.
So far, the box office of domestic war films is still the "Eight Hundred" released last year. However, the currently released "Chosin Lake" is likely to complete the transcendence according to the current trend. After the release of "Chosin Lake", the editor watched the movie for the first time.
Watching the movie, I constantly sighed that 14 years later, the Chinese film industry really has some looks. I think that back then, Feng Xiaogang filmed "The Gathering Number", just that small war scene, it was extremely difficult to shoot.
Today, "Chosin Lake" is nearly three hours long, and the war drama is almost half the length. Moreover, each one is a big scene, and in the end, the scene of our side surrounding the old American "polar bear group" is much better than the "Gathering Number".
Warrior melee bayonet fight!
Big group charge battle!
Super Hot Blood Tank Battle Between the Two Sides!
Destroy enemy fire points at long distances!
If you talk about war scenes, there is no doubt that "Chosin Lake" is absolutely of high quality.
However, when it comes to emotional laying out and character shaping, Xiaobian personally believes that "Chosin Lake" is still a little bit worse than "Gathering Number". However, this is not a problem with the "Chosin Lake" movie.
14 years have passed!
Strictly speaking, no film has surpassed "The Gathering". "The Gathering" is not just a hurdle that "Chosin Lake" needs to cross. Also, domestic war movies need to step over a hurdle!
Today, "Changjin Lake" makes people see the development of China's film industry. Xiaobian also hopes that the successors can continue to work hard to make more films of this genre and surpass "The Gathering Number".
Do you like war movies?
Did "Chosin Lake" surpass "Gathering"?
