Yesterday I took my parents to see "Chosin Lake", good or bad? There are a bunch of people arguing on the Internet, and in my personal experience, there are definitely problems, but the ability to tell stories has always been online, patriotism is certainly a selling point, and stories are not the reason why people sit for three hours.
At least, from the perspective of "writing essay", "Chosin Lake" is a high-scoring excellent composition, even if the three directors who have been criticized for shooting and then patchwork editing, under this obvious fragmentation, it is not completely irreconcilable.
At least, it does not affect most people's understanding of the plot, as well as the strong brotherhood, comradeship, and national conditions in the film.
Some people say that the film "Chosin Lake" is not worthy of the name, more than an hour has passed, before entering the formal storyline, the title of the film "Chosin Lake" was only pointed out.
This is actually a misunderstanding, who tells you the title of the film or the title of the novel so-and-so, you must start from so-and-so?
"Yitian Slaughtering Dragon" also started from Guo Xiang, after several chapters barely came out of the dragon slaying knife, the story is not clear, the male and female protagonists of the story came out one after another, the main line is not the story of relying on the heavenly sword and the dragon slaying knife, but the history of the Ming Sect Leader, according to the usual understanding, this novel should be called "Zhang Wujie".
Literary works, whether it is novels, movies, TV series, there are many ways to name them, important characters, important props, story synopsis, and inexplicable meanings may become the names hanging in front of the head.
The protagonist of "Green Snake" may not be a green snake, it may also be called "The Legend of the Fahai", but it is to use the name of the green snake to make it mysterious.
"Chosin Lake" does not start from Changjin Lake, but takes the Huzhou water town 108,000 miles away as the starting point, which is how to write a high-score small essay that the director does not understand? Apparently not.
Taking Huzhou as the starting point, the director and producer who did so knew too well.
I commented that "Saving Private Ryan" is an Amway-style "humanistic" sentiment film that hangs sheep's head and sells dog meat, and some people are still unconvinced, but this is the case, the so-called anti-war film is just a painless hindsight-like reflection, is the American pain? Doesn't seem to hurt too much!
If it really hurts, they will not ignite wars all over the world, with the devastation of other countries to support the carnival before the twilight of their own country, the claws of the superpower are too long, it is difficult to hide their vicious ambitions, one hand is a big stick, the other hand is a Bible, the essence is a rogue bastard.
In the war films Chinese, it seems that there is little mention of war weariness, but some costume films and action movies, who love to unload their armor and return to the field, and in martial arts novels, they like to retire from the hidden rivers and lakes (especially Jin Yong novels).
Is Chinese belligerent? It's ridiculous, except for Yy's martial arts action movies, but when it comes to modern Chinese history, which one can make us tired of war? Say no?
The flames of war are not ignited by us, but what can we do but resist? War-weary? This is even a word that can be easily typed out by people sitting in an air-conditioned room who want to enter the keyboard.
Americans are the beneficiaries of the war, they can pretend to be war-weary afterwards, and even want to Chinese as a well-behaved baby sitting in a row, eating fruit and fruit, giving you candy to eat, and slapping you with a slap.
Is there such a beautiful thing under the heavens? Can China raise such a breed in five thousand years?
Wu Jing has been ridiculed badly in recent years, is he himself what is wrong? It's really not, just because he made a film with a bright fist theme, and he also earned money because of it, which hindered the eyes of some people, and he conveniently gave a hat of kidnapping patriotism.
Patriotic still need kidnapping? To say that you are like a wild species with a mother and no father, this should be instinctive.
Leaving aside the quality of the film itself, that is, pulling the calves, is Wu Jing's film patriotic? Basically, it is either patriotic or to promote the country's comprehensive strength and enhance national pride, in short, it is all positive things.
Those twisted "reflections" are indeed not much, depression and dark "reflection on human nature" is too much, I am afraid that it will become a neuropathy, since it is a commercial film that expands its influence, it is really not necessary to make itself into a literary and artistic film.
Not necessarily.
Proper humanistic rendering, just the right emotional preparation, is already very good.
The beginning of "Changjin Lake" is a calm Huzhou water village scene, some people think this section is too long, but as soon as Wu Qianli's father and mother appeared, I couldn't hold back the tears.
This kind of encounter and thought of the small people at the lowest level can often touch us ordinary people the most, because from them you can see your parents, grandparents, grandparents and grandparents, this kind of Chinese-style wanderer returning home and receiving military orders after haste to send off is the most heart-wrenching.
There are no superfluous conversations, only exhortations about family trivia, which is the vast majority of an ordinary Chinese life.
How is American affection, should we care? Sorry, no, many American dramas render the family affection is not very understandable, I respect their emotions, but the environment is different, it is difficult to empathize.
Human beings always have some sorrows and joys that are common, but they are not exactly the same, and American blockbusters can bring Visual Dazzle to Chinese audiences, but it is difficult to have a spiritual impact.
Because we are us, they are them, and there is a difference between inside and outside.
If a native Chinese can shed tears for the American story on the spot, but it is difficult to quietly understand a Chinese story, it can only be said that such a person's mentality is somewhat unbalanced.
Is the Chinese story not well told? Facts have proved that not only is it well spoken, but it is also shocking, so that some people can smell a hint of murder.
Does the contest between countries not need to be murderous?
As a foreign ministry spokesman put it, what about wolf diplomacy?
Those who lack confidence will look left and right, and those who have a resolute eye will have sufficient preparation and self-confidence.
Chinese tradition, not arrogant, but also not humble, not belligerent, but also not afraid of war.
From "Wolf Warrior" to "Chosin Lake", the speaker is just like this, in peacetime, thinking of danger in peace.
The benevolent one is not necessarily invincible, but the benevolent one is.
As for the counterintuitiveness of "Wolf Warrior" that many people criticize, the military misunderstanding of "Chosin Lake", a film and television drama, even if there are military advisers, the occurrence of various flaws is predictable, just as there are still various loopholes in sophisticated historical dramas, but these are not enough to cover up its shining advantages.
Those who love to watch, or those who do not like to watch, and even the various controversies that have been triggered, can let more people understand this history, do not forget the road ahead, and bravely take on today's events, which is the purpose of this film.
Don't underestimate the impact of a positive commercial film, cultural aggression and defense are already underway.
