With the launch of "Chosin Lake Watergate Bridge", this year's Spring Festival stalls have no suspense.
As of now, the box office has exceeded 1.2 billion.
And this data is still climbing at an alarming rate.
At the same time, the reputation of "Watergate Bridge" is also very good.
Nearly 200,000 people have commented, and the film review score is still as high as 9.6, and countless netizens have strongly recommended it.
Keywords such as "good looking", "moving", and "shocking" have become the most real feelings in the audience's heart after watching it.
Some netizens even confessed: Very very good, I cried like a fool for more than an hour!
Why does Watergate Bridge have such magic?
01 Patriotic feelings imprinted on the soul
Compared with the 176 minutes of the previous work "Chosin Lake", this "Watergate Bridge" is only 149 minutes long, although it is shorter, but the look and feel is more explosive, and the staying power is longer.
It continues with the story of Chosin Lake, where the Pratunam Bridge became the only way for them to retreat during the U.S. military's retreat plan.
In order to stop the enemy, Seven is connected to the mission of blowing up the Watergate Bridge.
However, the location of the Watergate Bridge is not only easy to defend and difficult to attack, but also the US military has many modern weapons such as tanks, aircraft, mortars, etc. In contrast, the volunteer army can only adopt interspersed tactics in the environment of backward equipment.
A battle between the world's strongest industrial and backward agricultural countries at that time gradually opened up above the Watergate Bridge.
There is no doubt that this battle is very difficult to fight.
Unlike the orderly tactics and split-circuit operation of "Chosin Lake", there is only one mission in "Watergate Bridge" - blowing up the bridge.
But every time an attack was launched on the Watergate Bridge, the next day, the U.S. Army would restore the bridge.
With the sacrifice of comrades-in-arms and the lack of ammunition, everyone is ready to die in the predicament.
In the movie, there is such a scene, the marching steel seventh company in the snow, in the direction of the motherland, silently raised its hands to salute, shouted in unison, "Long live new China."
Countless volunteers with a patriotic heart, after walking out of the door, went to the battlefield and still bravely fought for their homeland.
Some netizens said after reading it, "Tears in my eyes, when Grandpa blew up an arm in this battle!" ”
And strongly appeal, take the whole family to see it together!
02 Complete character growth process
From "Chosin Lake" to "Watergate Bridge", Wu Wanli, played by Yi Qianxi, interprets the growth process of a soldier, which is both clear and full.
In the beginning, Wu Wanli just wanted his brother to look up to himself and join the army, more childish, so at first he put on a military uniform, but also brought a stubbornness.
And when he witnessed the sacrifice of his comrades-in-arms, he thought of "revenge" and thought that "killing enough twenty people" would be a hero.
After talking to Tanzi and witnessing Lei Gong's sacrifice, he understood the beliefs that a soldier should have.
Therefore, Wu Wanli in "Watergate Bridge" is already a qualified soldier, not only has a deep bond with other soldiers, but also agrees with them that regardless of life or death, they will bring each other back to their hometown.
Because of seeing Wu Wanli's growth, his brother Wu Qianli said, "This time, let you decide for yourself, how to run, how to fly!" ”
Looking closely at the rapid growth of Wu Wanli, behind it are thousands of comrades-in-arms, who are watered with hot blood.
03 There are too many magnificent moments of life for life, which makes people break through defenses in an instant
Many elements in "Watergate Bridge" have clever echoes with the previous work and are more "lethal".
For example, the commander of the artillery battalion played by Geng Le, after seeing the Seventh Company, subconsciously asked "What about Old Lei?" ”
However, in the silence of the soldiers of the Seventh Company, the audience recalled the Lei Gong who shouted "pain" and volunteered to attract enemy aircraft fire for the soldiers.
There is also Mei Sheng, who is worried about his wife and daughter, in the film, in the case of almost blindness in one eye, he still insists on completing the task.
Wu Wanli, who has always regarded the red scarf as a good wish in his heart, tied it to a tree after a fierce battle, and let a section of the scarf flutter in the wind, like a very bright five-star red flag, fluttering on the snow.
"Watergate Bridge" is even more magnificent, it is a life-and-death battle that has been fought one after another, a bridge, and countless lives have been paid.
Is it worth it?
Countless volunteer soldiers have given the answer with practical actions: it is worth it!
Just like a soldier in the film in the face of the upcoming shells, he almost threw himself on the missile without thinking, sacrificing himself to save more people, but also for the victory of the battle, to defend the country!
For those of us who have seen it, it is enough to make us cry and be touched.
As netizens said, "If the motherland needs it, I will also put on my suit, carry the gun, and move forward courageously!" Do your part for the motherland! ”
Of course, the highlights of "Watergate Bridge" are far more than that. More touching places to wait for yourself to walk into the theater to experience for yourself.
