Yesterday, I also saw a hot search, saying that as soon as the National Day holiday ends, the statutory holidays in 2024 will be gone, and if you want to take a vacation, you will have to take New Year's Day in 2025.
And today, October 8th, the first day after the long holiday, have you eased up a bit?
However, speaking of which, this National Day file is also quite lively, and various National Day movie theaters also have their own stories.
And when it comes to this year's National Day file, which movie impresses you the most?
If I want to choose, it may have to be "749 Bureau" directed by Lu Chuan, although this film has a big jump at the box office, but it has a high degree of topic!
For the entire National Day file, I feel that this film is the most talked, and I really saw everyone trying their best to complain.
And the Douban score of the film has also fallen all the way, from 5.0 points to 4.3 points now, which is even lower than the previous "Nine-Story Demon Tower", which can be regarded as a phenomenon.
The overall box office situation of this year's National Day files can also be understood, the total box office of the entire National Day file this year is 2.1 billion, and the box office of "Volunteers: Survival War" is far ahead of 800 million, and the total box office is expected to be about 1.4 billion.
"749 Bureau" was affected by the rating, and finally fell to third, and the total box office should be sad to exceed 400 million. But "The Road to Fire" came later.
And in the new week, in fact, there are some new cinema films to be released, although there are not so many.
You can also take a look at it:
Kidnapping Game
October 12
The only new film this week, in fact, is also doing screenings in the past few days, I want to take advantage of the popularity of the National Day file to grab attention first, have you ever gone to watch the screening?
In fact, this film is adapted from the novel of Keigo Higashino, and the Japanese version has been filmed several times before, and the most famous should be the version played by Naoto Fujiki and Yuki Nakama before, and I am still a little impressed.
The new version is co-starred by Peng Yuchang and Hu Bingqing, in fact, the story is still the same story, but it has done various localized treatments, focusing on a reversal and reversal.
So, the synopsis from Douban's official can also be understood:
Lu Fei (played by Peng Yuchang), a poor boy who wants to turn over overnight with his cleverness, owes casino owner Qin Haipei (played by Yao Lu) a huge gambling debt, and when he is desperate, he meets Qin Xiaoyao (played by Hu Bingqing), the daughter of the creditor who is running away from home, and a dangerous game of "fake kidnapping, real scam" is officially opened. Who will have the last laugh at the table?
Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone
October 11
The first part of the Harry Potter series, the film itself doesn't need me to introduce it, everyone is too familiar with it.
It's just that I still have to tell my friends that starting from October 11th, a Harry Potter movie will be re-screened every 7 days, with the 11th being the first, the 18th being the second, and so on.
Therefore, die-hard fans of the Harry Potter series can also start a long journey of watching Harry Potter movies one a week, so that there will be a thought every week.
Probably, this week's cinema films are basically like this, there are really not too many, but they are still in the stage of digesting the National Day films, so it is normal.
At the same time, the weekly Douban word-of-mouth list can also be understood. Let's take a look at what new films are on the list this week.
Word-of-mouth list of the week
1. "The Last Time We Were Children"
It is a children's film that has been evaluated very well recently, and at the same time, it is also a film set in World War II.
From Douban's synopsis:
In Rome, Italy, 1943, four children from different family backgrounds played war games in the midst of war and formed "the greatest friendship in history". One day in October, Riccardo, who came from a wealthy Jewish family, was taken to the ghetto by German troops, and the remaining three friends learned of his location through Italo's father, who was a cadre of the National Fascist Party, and decided to "save his friends heroically" through Italy. Based on the best-selling anti-war novel of the same name, the film shows the devastation of World War II on Italy the country and its people through the form of children's adventure comedy and the innocent perspective of children, which is more realistic and thought-provoking at a time when global conflicts are raging.
2. "A Certain Substance"
In fact, there are no official resources for this film yet, but because of her theme and scale, this film has become a very talked-about film recently.
We'll have to be patient a little longer.
The synopsis can also be understood first:
Elizabeth (De·mi Moore), a once-smash hit Hollywood superstar, can't face her aging appearance and decides to use a black market drug called "Perfect Substance" to create a younger and better version of herself (Mar·garet Qualley) by injecting the drug's cellular replication substance. How should "old age" and "young and beautiful" coexist? Will it be a more intense battle for appearance anxiety? Or do you want to keep catering to the public's expectations of "beauty"? A battle for dominance of one's own body is about to take place......
3. "The Sinking of the Lisbon Pill"
Douban has a score of 9.3, which can be regarded as a super high score for cinema films.
Moreover, the film will also represent Chinese mainland and compete for the best international film at the Oscars.
4. "The Determination to Runaway"
Douban's ultra-high-scoring cinema film with a score of 8.8 can be regarded as echoing another high-scoring drama "When the Mountains Are Blooming".
If you are interested, it is recommended to take a look.
5. "Only This Green"
The only film on the list of National Day cinema films, and it is also the highest score among the new films in National Day cinemas, we have recommended it before, and you can still consider experiencing it on the big screen.
6. "Transformers: Origins"
is also a high-scoring cinema film a while ago, a cartoon of Transformers, which can score 8.0 points, which can be regarded as a very high score.
The story is about origins, and at that time, Optimus Prime and Megatron were still good friends.
7. "Wilderness Robots"
is still a high-scoring cinema film, and now in the past few weeks, it can be guaranteed that there will be a new cinema film with a score of 8 or more on Douban every week, which is actually quite good.
I don't know if you've watched all of them?
8. "I Wish People Were Long"
This film can also be followed, including Wu Kangren's performance part, our previous Top Ten Recommendations of the Fan Spirit Awards, and we have also chosen this movie.
9. "Drifting"
This is an animated film, and it was also shortlisted for the Cannes Un Certain Regard Unit in May, and the viewing degree is still very good.
Learn about the plot synopsis from Douban:
The world seems to be on the verge of destruction, and there are human relics everywhere. A cat's home was destroyed by a major flood and it found shelter on a boat full of different animals. Despite their differences, it has to work with them to face a variety of unknown challenges.
When creating the story of "Drifting", Ginz · Zbarodis drew on the changing perspective of road movies, starting from the perspective of a cat, leading the audience to witness the appearance of all beings when the flood hits. As a long-time fan of Hayao Miyazaki, Zibarodis also drew a lot of nourishment from the works of Kubrick, Hitchcock and Alfonso · Cuarón.
With a unique narrative perspective and strong film and television accumulation, his second animated feature film "Drifting" was shortlisted for the Un Certain Regard section of the 2024 Cannes Film Festival.
10. "Happy Country"
The lineup is very strong, and it can be regarded as a blockbuster in Korea recently. From the timeline, it can just be connected with "The Ministers of Namsan" and "Seoul Spring", of course, the quality of the film is still worse than those two.
However, it is also possible to take a look.
In particular, there is also the appearance of Lee Sun-kyun.
Learn about the plot synopsis from Douban:
The story revolves around Park Tae-joo, a soldier who is involved in an assassination case because he obeys the orders of his superiors, and lawyer Jung In-hou does not hesitate to intervene in the dark political trial alone in order to save the upright Park Tae-joo. The trial was not only a matter of life and death for Park, but also an important turning point in contemporary Korea history. In a land of turmoil, how can we learn from the mistakes of the past and pursue a happy country?
Probably, that's it.
If you are interested, you can still go and watch the film in it, and maybe, there will be surprises.
Finally, I routinely attach the complete list of the week's Douban word-of-mouth list:
