In a way, "Shocking Rescue" and "King of the Long Sky" have a lot of similarities.
First of all, from the thematic point of view, both are "laborers" of some special occupations in the Acura mainland, and they were released on May Day, which is just in time.
Like the pilots and test pilots in "King of the Long Sky", like the firefighters in "Shocking Rescue", they are all "high-risk" professions, they are all using their lives to defend the country, protect people's lives and property, and naturally shoulder a mission and responsibility. They are more courageous and selfless than most of us, and "give up others" at critical moments!
They are all heroes and all deserve our respect and admiration!
For example, in "Shocking Rescue", these firefighters still retrograde search and rescue in the face of fire, toxic fog, strong acid water and explosion collapse at any time; In order to save the girl, he fell into strong acid water and injured his legs; In order to prevent the explosion of the chlorine tank, all the staff could only spray water to put out the fire and watch their teammates being engulfed in flames; And in the end, the communicator played by Du Jiang left his respirator to the expert, and he bravely became righteous... They are exchanging their lives for their lives, sacrificing themselves to perfect others!
From the perspective of genre, "Shocking Rescue" and "King of the Long Sky" are both main theme movies, with big scenes, big productions, and stars joining.
The action scenes, blasting scenes, and fire rescue scenes of "Shocking Rescue" are also the best in domestic action movies in recent years, such as the opening earthquake overturn, blue alcohol fire, and then the big explosion of the chemical plant (the shock wave caused by the explosion is widespread and the lethality is shocking), as well as in the process of fire extinguishing, the comprehensive display of the mainland's current advanced high-tech intelligent fire extinguishing equipment: drone detection, foam fire extinguishing robot water hose, dry powder shells... These are all big scenes that have never been seen in previous "fire rescue" movies (such as "Fire Fighting Heroes", "Fire Heroes", "Emergency Rescue").
PS: It's also a coincidence that Hu Jun, who plays the leader in this film, has previously played "Fire Fighting Hero", and firefighting team member Du Jiang has starred in "Fire Hero".
However, it may be because it is too similar, and the theme of this film has many classic movie pearls in front, so it will make this movie seem too stylized and too main theme, from the design of the plot to the performance of the actors are missing some characteristics.
Especially for the treatment of literary dramas, the traces of sensationalism are too obvious, such as several scenes in which Han Xue appears, there is a sense of déjà vu, the contradictions between the characters seem to be designed early in the morning, there is no emotional foreshadowing, it is embarrassing to act at the beginning, and it is difficult to substitute the audience into their emotions; For example, when the rescue team members appear, there must be slow motion and grand music to do BGM, and the emotions are too full; There is also the role played by Tong Liya, which does not feel that it plays an important role, she is more like a reporter going deep into the scene to do real-time reporting, rather than an experienced expert.
Including the captain played by the main character Wang Qianyuan in this film, he is too facetious, and he only remembers that he kept shouting reprimands, shouting or commanding loudly, and his voice overshadowed his acting skills.
Another point, it is also my personal feeling: "King of the Long Sky" is summarized, refined and sublimated when praising the flying heroes, such as the words said by the captain played by Hu Jun, which eventually rose to patriotic feelings, loyalty to the country, and so on; But "Shocking Rescue", it seems to only stay at the level of praising and praising how difficult and admirable firefighters are, without elevating or distilling more touching empathy points, which is no different from the previous "Fire Fighting Heroes", "Fire Heroes", and "Emergency Rescue".
For ordinary audiences, in addition to seeing the tragic and tragic scenes, and feeling the selflessness of the heroes of the firefighters, there is no more gain.
