The first trick is to catch people with the plot.
The atmosphere is full. It was a small battle, with 8 people in the volunteer sniper squad and 7 people in the U.S. sniper special operations team. It is about the sniper war in the "Cold Gun Cold Gun Movement", most of the time, there is no indiscriminate bombardment of aircraft cannons, the sound on the battlefield is just a whistling cold wind, the cold wind hides a suffocating sword, and the bullets shot out in an instant are killed.
There is suspense. The whole battle was actually a trap set by the US army for the volunteer army, how did the volunteer army see through it? Why do you have to fight when you see it? Why pay the price of a class and save the badly injured Liangliang? How did the Volunteers win the war? How did the U.S. military lose? How is the will and combat experience of the volunteers passed on? It's all suspense, one link at a time.
The second move, the type is well done, and the sniper battle is wonderful.
Both sides are masters, and the tactics are very good, sniping each other and evenly matching. The film presents the tactical layout, execution process, and final result of each sniper attack on both sides very clearly, plus a large number of subjective shots, accurate scene scheduling and excellent editing, which every audience can understand.
The U.S. military is also very strong, not only relying only on aircraft artillery brainless bombing, but also very smart. That's right, the strength of the U.S. military can make the volunteer army stronger. The volunteer army is not a sea of people tactics, nor is it a lonely brave, but a war with a brain.
The third trick is empathy.
With newcomers. In this film, Zhang Yi is a cameo appearance, only the first and last two scenes, Zhang Yu's role is very heavy, the performance is very outstanding, but it is not the first male protagonist. The first male protagonist is Chen Yongsheng, who plays Dayong, and is a newcomer. Several other fifth-class fighters were also newcomers. Of course, the star has the good of the star, but it is inevitable to be distracted by the actor himself and the previous roles. With a newcomer, the actor is the role played, and the audience can fully believe that he is a volunteer soldier.
Characters are three-dimensional. I feel that in the matter of directing, the old strategist has become a master, and there is no trick to win. A small talk on the march of the five squads of fighters not only clearly explained "why the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea should be fought," but also made every soldier have a distinct personality and lively appearance. So when they were injured and sniped, a strong sense of tragedy rushed out of the big screen and hit me hard, and I burst into tears. Especially the part where the fat mound tied the iron plate to go out to save people, I really cried miserably. What is even more valuable is that the sniper leader of the US military also gave a convincing personal motive.
The whole movie gives me the feeling that in the small to see the big, to see the small, the old strategist achieved the result of multiplication by doing subtraction.
Finally, there is another point, which is to fill a gap in many films to resist US aggression and aid Korea. Where are the elements of the SO-called "War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea"? Is it just the land where the war took place? There are Koreans in this film, and the use is very clever, which perfectly reflects the role of North Korea in this war.
