carried most of the box office and aroused the patriotic feelings of movie fans. In particular, the movie "My Motherland and Me" released on September 30, where the military parade unit was seamlessly connected with the National Day military parade, which aroused everyone's infinite respect for the soldiers.
Now, there is such a film that reproduces the daily life of veterans during the First World War, and it is also worth remembering. "Peter the Great" Peter Jackson, who has won Oscars, Golden Globes, and British Film Academy Awards for Best Director, is about to reappear on the Chinese screen with his latest work: "They Are No Longer Gone" is officially finalized 11 On 11th, the National Art Federation will be screened online.
Previously, the film has been released in some countries and has gained quite a good reputation. The Douban score is currently as high as 9.0, which is a record high for "Peter the Great" over the years, surpassing 82% of documentaries.
Some viewers who have watched the entire film said that the film "viewing experience is very special and shocking", thinking that Peter Jackson's approach provides a new idea for re-screening of ancient silent films. Of course, in addition to praising the technology, more people are lamenting the significance of the film: today, after a century of victory in the First World War, the living people have no memory of the battlefield, and the film will help you wake up again.
is also very prominent on foreign scoring websites, "They are no longer getting old". The freshness of Rotten Tomatoes has been maintained at 100%, which shows how much foreign film critics have bought it. The IMDB score also got 8.3 points, which is very good.
Many foreign film critics scored full marks and praised the film for "reaching a very prominent level on many levels." Such an evaluation is not only a commendation for Peter Jackson and the team’s four-year restoration work, but also affirmed the meaning behind their persistence-the thin pages of the history book have been brought to life through their efforts, and more people will In this way, understand the story of the war a hundred years ago.
Speaking of it, "Peter the Great"'s new work can have such a reputation, which is completely expected. To trace the reasons, one has to talk about his previous works. He is the director of the "Lord of the Rings" series and the "The Hobbit" series, and has repeatedly presented epic stories under his lens. Especially the "The Hobbit" series, originally just children's literature written by Tolkien, with the efforts of Peter Jackson, after the film and television, it slowly unfolds like a vast epic picture scroll, which makes people have to admire his director skills.
This time, he set his sights on the First World War a hundred years ago, and once again told us an epic story. The choice of "They Are No Longer Growing Old" to be released on November 11 this year is even more meaningful: In fact, this year's "Double Eleven" is not only a shopping carnival and Singles Day recognized by the general public, but also a commemoration of the century of victory in World War I. important moment.
You may ask, in what way will the story be presented this time? Should you choose an important battle or tell the story of a famous general? Or reproduce the original struggle between countries?
Peter Jackson gave the answer "none of the above". He chose to use technology to bring the audience back to the scene of the war: he spent a full four years on color restoration + dubbing of the black and white silent video at the time, and then adopted 3D restoration technology, allowing the audience to experience the war in the cinema immersively The cruelty and ruthlessness, and the smile and sadness of the soldiers. Most of the historical data of
in this restoration have never been made public. The original materials include 300 photos, 600 hours of audio interviews with veterans, and 2,200 hours of collection images.
You must know that during World War I only black and white silent film shooting technology was available, and the clarity and frame rate were not the same as today. This puts forward higher requirements for the restoration team: it is not only necessary to smooth out and color the grains and scratches of the film a hundred years ago, but also to restore the silent film-like dropped frame lens to normal speed.
In order to restore the details truthfully and accurately, Peter Jackson also specially invited a lip language master to interpret the mouth shapes of the soldiers in the image; in terms of sound, the sound engineer re-collected the explosion of shells, footsteps in the mud, and gun bolts. The sound of clicking, running horseshoes, etc. dubbed the screen. All efforts are made to enable this period of history to be truly reproduced on the big screen through technical means.
Judging from the screens exposed in the trailer, the detail restoration is quite in place, not only the red brick and green clothes are vividly restored, but also the military hats, belts, water bladders, backpacks and other objects with little difference in color are also presented.Now, the scene of the bomb explosion is quite shocking. I believe that seeing this century-old historical material in the cinema will definitely be a different experience.
"They Don't Grow Old Anymore" such a quality work, will be screened on the special line of National Art Federation on November 11. Looking back at the war a hundred years ago, perhaps we will cherish the meaning of peace even more. On the centenary of World War I, go to the cinema to relive this unforgettable and unforgettable history.
