On the first day of the Chinese New Year, I was invited to watch the movie "Sniper".
I had heard about the movie "Sniper" before, because I saw the promotional video of Han Hong singing the theme song for this film.
Hearing the "sniper," I thought of Zhang Taofang, a famous sharpshooter during the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, and wondered whether to write his story. As a result, there is, but it is not. It is to condense the stories of many volunteer soldiers into one battle.
The story is written about a squad of volunteers, the story of five squads, a small battle - a battle to rescue the wounded and seize intelligence, but what is shown is the heroism of thousands of volunteer soldiers fighting to the death to defend their homeland, defeat the invaders, and armed to the teeth of the US army.
Among the soldiers of the fifth class, there are veterans who have experienced the Liberation War and have just won the national victory and then went to the battlefield, and even more are those young peasants who have just married and raised children, uncles and nephews of the family, and students with childish spirits, who have given up their good life and gone to the battlefield in order to defend their families and defend the country.
At the beginning of the film, the rifle used by the sharpshooter, the Mosin Nagant rifle, is introduced. It is said that this was the best rifle used by our army at that time. After watching the movie, I specifically checked the Internet, and the rifle used by Zhang Taofang was Mosin Nagant.
The disparity in weapons and equipment between the enemy and us begins to unfold from telescopes and rifles.
A small battle, written into a story. It should be said that the story is very compact, there is no procrastination; the plot is also a link, the front is buried in the foreshadowing, and there is a response in the back. It was only when he saw that the squad leader listened to the shouts of the US troops, put down his weapons to exchange in order to save the scouts, and was completely exposed to the enemy's firepower, that he did not feel very good, and it felt that he had suddenly subverted all the wisdom displayed by the squad leader in the first half. I can only think that the squad leader is to save Liang Liang to regain the intelligence, according to his own words, "gamble".
The actors acted realistically. In order to awaken the dying light, the squad leader and Dayong sang the "Battle Song of the Chinese People's Volunteer Army". At that time, I still thought that there would be harmony and chorus in the background music, but there was no, only they sang and shouted over and over again. Come back and talk to young people, and young people say that it is not true to have background music. It's my mindset.
Although some of the storylines seem a bit unconventional, such as the sugar wrapped in intelligence is a fruit candy. I was thinking about whether it would be a piece of chewing gum. There were also Dayong and the company commander who got the information not to turn it in quickly, but to open it in a hurry.
As for the light of dying life being able to persist in the ice and snow, I do think that sometimes the vitality is very tenacious, especially when there is faith support.
At the end of the film, no one in the audience stood up. Because what appeared on the screen was a picture of the soldiers fighting, the young faces flashed one by one, the squad leader, the bright, the fat mound, the green doll,...... And those numbers, 21, 19, 18,......。 Teacher Han Hong's song sounded, "The stars in the sky are lined up, ,...... watching the children return to their hometowns", and tears fell.
At this time, what I saw and thought of was the sacrifices made by the volunteer soldiers for the people of the motherland and the defense of peace in this cruel war, which was full of emotion and respect. Without the bloody struggle of these volunteer soldiers and the great victory of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, the history of New China would have been rewritten.
Hats off to the volunteers!
