The second highlight of this film is the advanced shooting technique. 3. The third point of this film is that the acting school of the three generations of the old, middle and young generations is gathered, and everyone's performance is amazing.

In July, after a month of depression, the film market finally welcomed several heavyweight blockbusters, the one that made my blood boil the most was "Revolutionary" starring Zhang Songwen.

On the day of the release, I ran to the cinema to watch this film for the first time, and after watching it, I was very emotional, which was the most touching one of the recently released films.

When I got home, I found out on the Internet that the reputation of this film had exploded.

Douban 7.5 points, Maoyan 9.4 points, Taobao ticket 9.5 points, Weibo big V recommended 90%.

In the recent hit movie, "Revolutionary" won 3 first places in one go, and the comments of netizens made me feel the charm of this movie again.

Some netizens were infected by the tragic tone of the film, when the oppressive cold tone and the warm tone that symbolized hope collided, the audience's emotions broke the defense in one impact after another.

Some netizens are attracted by the film's advanced shooting techniques, and the flashback and interpolation techniques with the superb performances of the actors make the film full of artistic appeal.

Some netizens were deeply affected by the twisty story and the actor's performance, and cried several times.

Some netizens wanted to write the party application form overnight after crying.

Some netizens described the whole process of watching the movie at length, saying that they "cried from the beginning to the end." ”

Some netizens were deeply moved by the details of the film: the young eagle in prison, the organ of Dazhao's family, and the forbidden city are all long-lasting memories.

Looking at this steaming comment, Tomato Jun felt extremely relieved in his heart.

To be honest, after watching the film, I was also vaguely worried that as a main theme film, "Revolutionary" carried out bold deconstruction and artistic expression, and the audience may not buy it.

But after word of mouth came out, the stone in my heart was put down, and the level of appreciation of this year's young people really improved.

Tomato Jun summed up the comments of netizens and found that "Revolutionary" has a total of three major points of interest to impress young people.

<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="20" >1, the first highlight of this film is that the plot is very burning. </h1>

This is the most direct emotional experience of "Revolutionary", starring Zhang Songwen and Tong Liya mentioned in the live broadcast on July 3 that they ran to the army to go to the roadshow these two days, and many soldiers' eyes were red and swollen after watching the film.

Across the country, the super-burning plot of "The Revolutionary" has triggered one storm after another of crying.

"I cried the whole time."

"My tears are not worth anything."

"Very good value for money"

Such an evaluation is the common voice of almost every moviegoer, which is exaggerated at first glance, but if you really watch the movie, you will feel empathy.

Tomato Jun specially summarized the six major flash points after watching the movie.

The first major flashpoint: it is the tombstone at the beginning of the film.

It was transported by the Beijing underground party at the risk of life in 1933, because of the tense political situation at that time, it could only be buried deep underground, and the film not only copied according to the original stele material, but also retained the words "Tomb of Lady Li", which made people have a sense of intimacy instantly.

The second biggest ignition point: Li Dazhao's family organ.

In fact, this is also an allusion, Li Dazhao's daughter Li Xinghua once recalled that her father always took advantage of the rainy day, under the cover of the rain, to quietly teach everyone to sing progressive songs such as "The International Song".

This historical fact was restored by "Revolutionary" and praised by Zhang Yongxin, director of "The Age of Awakening".

The third biggest flash point: Li Dazhao's addiction to smoking.

In the film, Li Dazhao always hangs a lit small branch in prison to simulate smoking to alleviate his addiction, and this vivid detail also comes from real history.

At that time, Li Dazhao often smoked in his hands when writing articles and thinking about problems, because he could not quit smoking addiction, and in the "Jinde Association" established by Cai Yuanpei, he could only meet the standard of "B membership".

But this innocuous "small shortcoming" also made Li Dazhao instantly become flesh and blood.

The fourth major flash point: the gallows that hanged Li Dazhao.

The gallows in the film are also derived from the truth, when the reactionary warlords used an Italian-imported gallows for him in order to torture Li Dazhao, and in order to prolong his suffering, they executed him three times, and Mr. Li Dazhao lost his breath after being tortured for half an hour. This gallows is also listed as a national first-class cultural relic, number 0001. The crew carried out a 1:1 restoration of the gallows during filming, and even the foreign language assembly instructions were finely reproduced, just to bring the audience the most authentic emotional experience.

The fifth major flashpoint: the "Beijing Citizens' Declaration" that appears in the film.

Chen Duxiu, played by Qin Hao, wore a white suit and a white hat and ran to Beijing's Chengnan Amusement Park and the "New World" to distribute leaflets to the masses, and the leaflets he distributed were the guiding manifesto "Beijing Citizens' Declaration" drafted during the May Fourth Movement.

The propaganda pages fell like snowflakes, showing the romantic feelings of the revolutionaries, and many people shed tears.

The sixth major flash point: the oath of joining the party at the end of the film.

It was written by Mao Zedong himself in October 1927, and it is also the earliest oath of membership in the Chinese Communist Party.

In the movie, when Mao Zedong, played by Li Yifeng, reads the sentences "Never betray the party" and "fight for the cause of communism all his life", the audience's emotions are instantly ignited.

These ignition points let the blazing emotions that rise up in the audience have a foothold, go out of the theater to calm down, and the details behind each ignition point will also be deeply imprinted in our hearts.

The best ingredients, cooked in a high-class way, supplemented by rich condiments, "The Revolutionary" thus brings young people a very burning spiritual feast.

<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="108" >2, the second highlight of this film is the advanced shooting technique. </h1>

The so-called layman looks at the bustle, and the insider looks at the doorway.

Ordinary viewers may be infected by the strong emotions of the film's stacking, while those in the industry will be shocked by the film's advanced shooting methods.

The creation of the main theme film generally has the following characteristics: flat and straight narrative, group portraits of characters, bright endings, etc.

As the name suggests, the "Revolutionary" film shatters all these traditions and makes a "revolutionary" of the main theme film.

In terms of narrative, the film adopts a non-linear narrative, and the specific point is that the two timelines are intertwined and nested structural narratives.

The first timeline is a microstructure, which tells everything that Li Dazhao experienced in the 38 hours before his execution from an extremely objective perspective.

The audience, knowing the ending, witnesses the wheel of fate rolling towards Mr. Shouchang step by step, and the feeling of powerlessness makes people feel heartbroken.

The second timeline is the macroscopic structure, which is through Li Dazhao's perspective, recalling his revolutionary years, a person before dying, the past gushes, the fragments of memory are non-linear.

However, the audience can firmly grasp Li Dazhao's revolutionary spirit of seeing death from these fragmented memories, and when witnessing Dazhao's death, they can also feel that the spark of hope has spread.

The general theme of the film spends a lot of ink to portray the character group portrait, and each character member has his own functional division of labor: some are lonely, some are strategizing, and some are hesitant.

This large and comprehensive treatment is relatively easy in creation, but it is easy to lose focus, and the flame in the audience's heart is easy to end up because of diversion.

"The Revolutionary" focuses the camera on Li Dazhao alone, taking him as the representative of the revolutionary, reflecting the spiritual outlook of that era from point to point, while other characters are embellished by Li Dazhao.

If the main theme of the past film is to lead the audience to see the magnificent waves in the historical Honghe River from the perspective of a third party, then "Revolutionary" is to let the audience enter Li Dazhao's perspective into a wave in the Honghe River, and personally experience the magnificent years, which is a more advanced way of handling while also ensuring the sense of shock.

But it's not easy to get the audience into a character and turn watching a movie into an immersive experience. No matter how advanced the concept, the deep restoration, the profound expression of ideas, if you want to hit the heart, you need actors to complete in the end, and the key to the popularity of "Revolutionary" is also in the actors.

<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="109" >3, the third highlight of this film is to gather the acting schools of the three generations of old, middle and young, and everyone's performance is amazing. </h1>

First of all, Tong Liya's performance is amazing.

When Tong Liya received the role of Zhao Shulan, there were few historical records about this woman on the Internet, and she could only figure out the character through her own understanding.

Although Zhao Was a rural woman, she was also a mentor and friend to Li Dazhao, who often helped her to read so that she could read a book independently.

There are two scenes that impress tong Liya the most.

The first scene is in the hospital and Li Dazhao affectionately embraced the scene, during the shooting, the director originally asked her to appear directly at the hospital window to see her husband, but Tong Liya suggested that she should come from a distance, see the injured students and the public, the mood has a gradual process, and then go to see Li Dazhao's emotions will be full.

In this way, the director took Tong Liya's suggestion, from 50 meters away to start filming her admission, with the pre-preparation, when Zhao Shulan faced Li Dazhao, it felt like seeing an injured child, her maternal love side, hugged Li Dazhao tightly, this scene also caused a strong emotional resonance from the audience.

The second scene is Zhao Shulan's crying after learning of Li Dazhao's sacrifice.

At that time, when the scene was filmed, it was originally Tong Liya's one-man show, and at the beginning of the scene, a door opened and a beam of light appeared, representing Zhao Shulan's hope.

Then the light dimmed, foreshadowing Li Dazhao's sad ending, just when Tong Liya needed to show her emotions, she suddenly found that Zhang Songwen, who had no role, suddenly appeared off the camera to give her a role.

Tong Liya said: "At that moment, I felt that my husband had returned. ”

She completed the performance from joy to sorrow in an instant, and the tears flowed down.

When the director shouted to stop, Zhang Songwen immediately stepped forward and grabbed Tong Liya's hand, saying: "I don't dare to look at her." ”

The two good actors know that this scene has become.

After the broadcast of "Revolutionary", Tong Liya's crying scene was also on the hot search, touching countless viewers.

In addition to Tong Liya, the performances of Li Yifeng and Han Geng are also eye-catching.

When the rest of the students are still paralyzed with a wooden face in various dramas in order to play cool, they have completely unloaded the burden of idols.

The film was filmed in the cold winter moon, but Li Yifeng had a scene of taking a cold bath, from the tidbits, it can be seen that the staff are wearing cotton clothes, while Li Yifeng is wearing sleeveless shorts, and he has to pour water on himself, shivering with cold. As soon as the director shouted cut, he was frozen to the point of viciousness, but once he began filming, Li Yifeng quickly entered the role, and this dedication and professionalism made people see his transformation.

Han Geng's role is not much, but it also supports the role of Chiang Kai-shek, and in the movie, the director has given him close-up shots of his face many times, mainly patting his eyes.

On different occasions and different plots, Han Geng's eyes change significantly with the plot, and without saying lines, he creates a sense of atmosphere for the audience.

There are also Qin Hao and Peng Yuchang, although there are not many scenes in the film, but they all leave amazing moments, And Chen Duxiu, played by Qin Hao, distributes fragments of the "Beijing Citizens' Declaration" in the attic.

The moment when Zhang Xueliang, played by Peng Yuchang, petitioned Li Dazhao with tears was particularly touching.

Finally, there is Zhang Songwen's performance, it can be said that "Revolutionary" is Li Dazhao's character biographical film, and Zhang Songwen is the soul of the whole film.

The dragon set that ran for 20 years did not go out of the circle until last year with "The Hidden Corner", but the experience of these years of dormancy has undoubtedly honed his acting skills, "Revolutionary" is his masterpiece, and every detail of the film can see his ability as an old drama bone.

Some viewers praised after watching "Revolutionary": This is the acting skills of the film emperor level!

Zhang Songwen read a lot of information before the start of filming, he first learned about li dazhao through the handwriting posts written by Li Dazhao, the so-called seeing the words as faces, seeing the words to understand Li Dazhao's personality, and then he learned about Li Dazhao's deeds through the memoirs written by Li Dazhao's students.

Zhang Songwen specifically mentioned the middle school text in the interview, which is "My Father Li Dazhao" written by Li Dazhao's daughter Li Xinghua, and there is a passage in the text in which Li Dazhao teaches children to focus on doing things, learn to learn to play seriously, and he also takes his daughter to sled.

This detailed description was used by Zhang Songwen in the performance to show the intimate relationship between Li Dazhao and his family.

Zhang Songwen also learned that Li Dazhao and Zhao Shulan were arranged marriages, but the two respected each other all their lives, and Zhao Shulan sold her mother's family property in order to support Li Dazhao to study in Japan.

Li Dazhao's salary at Peking University is as high as 180 oceans, but every time he receives a salary, he uses 80 oceans as activity funds, and the remaining 100 oceans support poor students.

The children love to eat scallion oil cakes, but the family has been embarrassed to even dare to grease the cakes, the son has not bought clothes for 5 years, Zhao Xiulan knitted a cotton coat for his son, and then li Dazhao gave it to the poor students who came to visit, and the couple did not even have a red face.

Zhao Shulan was very shy, there were guests at home, she often hid and did not dare to go out to see people, Li Dazhao moved a chair to let his wife observe, but Zhao Shulan was very interested in moving the chair to the door, she means that you are in charge of the revolution, I will give you the wind.

This moving story has become a rich nourishment for Zhang Songwen when shaping the character, and in the four-month shooting cycle, he has been pondering the character.

Tong Liya recalled that the first time the two met Zhang Songwen was to greet her in Li Dazhao's makeup, and the scene to be filmed in the afternoon, Zhang Songwen nestled in the corner in the morning and fell into the role.

Later, after many cooperations, she found that Zhang Songwen would put herself in the role even after filming, and use Li Dazhao's identity to live.

This spirit deeply infected Tong Liya, so that when she filmed the next scene, she also put herself into the role early before filming, and the crew said to her: "Ya ya, you make us very nervous like this" Tong Liya responded: "I learned from Teacher Zhang Songwen." ”

The last surviving photograph of Li Dazhao is of a photograph before his execution, showing Li Dazhao's head shaved and without glasses.

In the movie, the plot of shaving the head, interviewing and taking off the glasses is arranged, just to return the historical facts.

In the scene when interviewed, Zhang Songwen specifically designed a muttering performance detail.

He said that a person must have a lot to say before he dies, and he does not know where to start for a while, but can only use muttering to express this truth. In the real hanging scene, Zhang Songwen also came to the real, used the real gallows, after shooting two or three times, his neck was strangled with a long red mark, but he said that as long as he did not reach his physiological limit, he must finish the shooting.

In order to play a lame scene, Zhang Songwen even used the "physical limp method" to directly load sharp stones into his shoes, and every step had a real sense of pain. During the hanging scene, his neck was strangled with blood marks. It is precisely because of this ultimate spirit of truth-seeking that every scene in the film makes people feel very real.

After acting in this movie, Zhang Songwenren and Li Dazhao became one, saying that he would definitely stand up when he saw people in danger in the future, because he had played Li Dazhao and could not humiliate him, which was to engrave Li Dazhao's spirit in his bones.

The director's small and large, intriguing shooting method, the crew's well-made and effortless restoration of the costume, the actor's professional attitude of striving for excellence and divergeing acting skills to every organ of the body... It's these factors that make Revolutionary so different, and that's what makes it so critically acclaimed.

It can be said that "Revolutionary" has opened up a new path for the creation of the main melody film, and the acting school represented by Zhang Songwen has also proved that the spring of good actors has arrived with his superb acting skills.

This is definitely a good movie that this July 1st has to watch, and it should not be missed.
