The fifth part of "Eight Hundred"
There is no such thing as individual heroism in the film, from the excitement at the beginning of the film to the silent sigh at the end.
Admire the director's ability to control the scheduling and control of the battle scenes, the cruelty of the battlefield is vividly remembered, the guns and bullets fly by the ears, and the applause for the actors' performances, under the premise of respecting the sense of reality, each role has not fallen into the cliché.
The toughness and arc of the character are well interpreted, taking Tang Yixin, the actor who plays the girl scout who crossed the river to send the flag, as an example, the anxiety at the beginning of the war was confused to the youthful boldness of the teenager when sending the flag, and the eyes have always been full of unyielding light, which adds tenderness to the film in addition to the violent hormones. Although there are still some deficiencies, the overall flaws are not hidden!
The Fourth "Watergate Bridge"
The biggest movie scene in the Spring Festival in 2022 is not one.
One of the things I like very much is that the battle is never just a heroic and fearless sacrifice, but also a scientific and technological armament and strategic planning, and the courage to be cannon fodder is far from enough in the medal of casting the victor. In the movie, there are many embodiments of military strategy, platooning, responding to the scene, up to the general who leads the team, down to the front-line soldiers, with wisdom and enthusiasm to go forward. The depiction of the group portraits has its own emphases, the characters have distinct characteristics, and the ways of leaving the scene are different, which is tragic and terrifying. The climax of the film is continuous, the battle is continuous, the horse is non-stop, almost without rest, and the next battlefield is rushed one after another, and the slow motion and long shot are properly interspersed, which is a good annotation and expression of the film.
The Third Part of "The Gathering Number"
A very interesting war movie. Unlike traditional war movies, the timeline unfolds to describe history.
The integrity, rationality and character shaping of the film's story are excellent works of domestic war films. Feng Xiaogang's use of audiovisual language is also more mature, the overall black and gray color highlights the darkness of the war, and the red scarf of the instructor is the finishing touch.
However, in my opinion, I personally feel that the biggest highlight of the film is a few scenes in the middle and later stages, the nameless tombstone of the battlefield martyr, taking the instructor's wife to defect to Zhao Erdou, these scenes down, the theme is very good, the characters are also explained almost, wonderful.
The second Armageddon series
The series is divided into three parts, namely the "Liaoshen Campaign", "The Battle of Huaihai" and "The Battle of Pingjin". Whether it is from the length of the film or the casting of the actors, there is no ancient person before, and there is no one after!
This series of filming methods is also unique, the film uses narration with a huge location to start, but also ends with this, in terms of plot, a three-layer structure is constructed, one is the strategic decision-making of the high-level party of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, but the strategic planning of the commanding generals, and the third is the current situation of the lower soldiers or civilians, these three levels are cross-narrated, thus jointly creating this magnificent epic masterpiece.
Technically, because it is a gift film shot by a state-owned product factory, the budget and dispatchable resources are extremely impressive, and this innate condition has promoted the true restoration of some war scenes in this series of films. Therefore, it is no exaggeration to say that the "Armageddon" series is an insurmountable peak of domestic war films.
The first "Garland Under the Mountain"
There is no longer any way to find such a pure film. That's how I really felt after watching this film. Simple words, straight to the depths of the soul.
That's the difference between an old movie and a new movie. Old movies are first-rate stories and moving movies. The new movie is that the story is not necessarily first-class, not necessarily moving, the lens must be grand, the high-tech must be used to be bullish, and everything is spoken by the box office. A movie with a box office of more than 5 billion is necessarily a good movie? It's fine, not denied, but still not enough. New and old movies are put together, and when you compare them, you can see a lot of problems.
In the future, if you have a chance, you will have to watch it several times. Classic old movies, worth revisiting.
