Classic TV series can always become more and more attractive over time. Good stories are worth chewing on repeatedly, seeing past history, present vigilance, and future thinking.
When I watched "My Regiment Leader My Regiment" in 2019, the reputation of this drama was 9.3 points, and the score looked good, but it was worse than "Bright Sword". In 2023, I will watch "My Regiment Leader My Regiment", which has risen to 9.6 points, 0.1 points higher than "Bright Sword".
"Bright Sword" and "My Regiment Commander My Regiment" are both excellent war dramas, but the former focuses on the leadership, the latter focuses on the soldier layer, the former makes people watch the blood boiling and pointing the momentum, the latter makes people uncomfortable to watch, and has a mentality of disgust and fear of war.
I like both dramas very much, but I prefer "My Regiment Leader My Regiment".
At that time, Zhang Yi was not completely out of the circle, Duan Yihong was still a drama maniac at that time, and the audience at that time was still immersed in the blood of "Soldier Assault".
When "My Regiment Commander My Regiment" threw out the brutal war and the most real humanity, many viewers at the time could not accept it.
Because in the category of war dramas they accept, there is no drama as real and terrifying as "My Regiment Commander My Regiment".
They don't want to fight, they just want to go home, it's not cowardice and withdrawal, it's the only belief that can hold on to their survival in troubled times. I don't think it's shameful to want to go home, especially when the country is broken, and going home may still be the motivation for them to continue to charge.
In almost all domestic war dramas, none can face human nature as directly as "My Regiment Commander My Regiment". There is fear, there is fear, there is no fear, there is no choice, this is the real performance on the battlefield.
Why did the reputation of this drama rise a lot? In addition to the foil of some divine drama peers, there is also that after many years, everyone has seen perseverance from cruelty, growth from blood, country from artillery fire, and home from support.
This drama tells you why China was forced to almost die, and why so many invaders can't let the country perish.
It's not just about war, it's about dissecting why the country is the way it is and what exactly should be done to get things back to the way they were.
From the individual to the country and back to the individual, it seems to go around in a circle back to the starting point, but in fact, it is precisely this circle that makes us understand that even if history is created by people, in the end everyone will become loess and disappear into history, few can be remembered, and most of the rest are buried mercilessly.
The TV series is much louder than Xiao Zhi, jumping directly from the battle of Nantianmen to decades later, allowing everyone to find a new home and start a new life in the new era.
But maybe the ending of the novel is the real ending, but who cares about the life and death of a group of cannon fodder?
Even if they once really worked hard for the country and their families, and in the end eight thousand people were buried under the same tombstone, who remembers whom? They can only be collectively called heroes.
My parents gave me a name, and when I died, the name was gone.
The Chinese Expeditionary Force is something that film and television dramas rarely touch, and it is unclear to explain, but in any case, this is an inescapable thing in the annals of history.
I believe that there should still be people who will remember that period of history, such as Lan Xiaolong, who wrote "My Regiment Leader My Regiment", and some viewers who have seen this drama.
What is the way things are?
"The grass is green, the water is clear, those who are children must do their filial piety, the woman you want to marry and live a life at home should not be a native prostitute, those who died fighting for the country should be placed in the ancestral hall to be admired, I, the chief of the country, should not be so unreasonable and unstrong when speaking to you seriously, people are like people, readers like you can use the books they read, not learn to be a soldier here." My allegiance always gives me a thought. People are good, and powerful people are changed by weak people, not by people who are more powerful than him and bully the weak. ”
But now, are things sure they are?
