To say that this year's Spring Festival file deserved big winner, it is not "Watergate Bridge", plus the previous work, the comprehensive box office has reached 8.6 billion, and only 9 days have passed since the premiere of "Watergate Bridge", I believe that in the near future, this masterpiece that broke countless film records will definitely break the 10 billion mark.
Interestingly, before the release, I thought that Zhang Yimou's new work "Sniper" would be the biggest competitor of "Watergate Bridge", but now it seems that the box office gap of 300 million and 2.9 billion is not generally large, and there is no comparison between the two.
So, what is the charm of "Watergate Bridge" that can make it continue the good results of its previous works?
In addition to the luxurious cast, the grand war scenes, and the real story background, the details in the film are also particularly important, which makes the plot of the whole film more full and the characters more colorful, as if bringing the audience into the real battlefield.
Lei Gong's goggles
In the last "Chosin Lake", Lei Gong sacrificed in order to cover his comrades-in-arms, the goggles were also passed on to the hands of Wu Wanli, when he rushed to the Watergate Bridge, he was the only one who had such equipment, facing the bombing of enemy aircraft, this pair of goggles resisted two bullets for Wanli, and it seemed that Lei Dad was protecting him.
Pinghe bit his finger
After the second bridge bombing plan began to be implemented, the sniper Pinghe was lying on the pipe, and when the camera was given to him, the attentive audience found that Pinghe was actually biting his finger. In fact, this is not an actor jumping, but deliberately, you know, in the extremely cold environment, once the sniper's fingers are frozen, the accuracy will be greatly reduced, and even fatal mistakes, so Pinghe puts his fingers in his mouth, just to be more flexible when shooting.
Pinghe Wanli looked at each other and smiled
When Pinghe described the details of Baili's sacrifice to Wanli, the two were even more relieved, and Wanli also said that the soldiers of the Seventh Company were his brothers, which also indirectly showed that he was truly integrated into this collective, which was a huge contrast with the incompatibility when he first joined the army.
Wu Qianli's new home plan never appeared again
In the previous part, Wu Qianli frequently told Lei Gong about his new home plan, but as the battle began, "Watergate Bridge" from beginning to end, he did not mention another word, perhaps Wu Qianli knew in his heart that the moment he received the task of rushing to the Watergate Bridge was a road of no return for himself.
Wu Qianli does not say "surrender" in English.
When Wu Qianli came to the outside of the pump room alone, he had captured a group of enemy troops, but when he wanted the other party to lay down his weapons and surrender, he found that he did not know how to describe it in English, you know, the volunteer army and the United Nations army have been at war for a long time, a few simple English can still speak, and it is convenient to communicate with the prisoners, but in their English dictionary, there is no word "surrender" at all, which also reflects the spirit of our army's soldiers who are brave and fearless and shed blood to the end.
Mei Sheng's watch draws 3 red lines
After formulating the third plan to blow up the bridge, Mei Sheng handed over the watch to Wanli, in that era, many people had never seen it, especially Wanli, who grew up on the fish steak, Mei Sheng drew 3 red lines in order to let him understand the time point, and blew an osprey whistle every 15 minutes.
The warriors gathered and saluted in the direction of home
When the sun rose, the remaining soldiers of the Seventh and Ninth Companies, with the mentality of seeing death as if they were home, saluted in the direction of home and shouted long live the motherland, which also indirectly reflected why the soldiers had to charge again and again in the case of the disparity between the enemy and ourselves, because when they turned to face the enemy, there were forty million compatriots behind them.
Red scarf on a dead tree
At the end of the film, the First Marine Division successfully crossed the Watergate Bridge, but on the dead tree not far away, a dazzling red scarf appeared, which was not just a provocation, but a declaration to them that even if they fought to the last person, they would fight to the death with the belief that they would die, and this fearless spirit was not possessed by the enemy.
As the old saying goes, "details determine success or failure", the success of "Watergate Bridge" is by no means a one-sided reason, the actor's control of the details and the director's control is a crucial part, these easily overlooked details, more direct than the big scene.
