Why is it so popular?

The gold medal team guarantees the quality of the film.
has an excellent director, which is the root of the success of a film.
Besides, there are seven in "My Motherland and Me". The chief director of
, Chen Kaige, is a representative of China's fifth generation of directors, and one of the leaders who brought Chinese films to the international stage.
Born in 1952 and joined in 1984, Chen Kaige is an absolute "veteran" figure.
has profound poetic style and countless honors, not to mention that he has witnessed the ups and downs of the motherland for decades. There is absolutely no ambiguity about films like
given to Chen Kaige. The other six directors of
are also outstanding in the Chinese film industry.
Among the sixth-generation directors, Guan Hu is the most "sharp" style, Zhang Yibai, who is good at making romantic films, Ning Hao and Xu Zheng, the "two giants" in Chinese comedy films, and Xue Xiaolu, the highest-grossing female director in the Chinese film industry. "The God of Medicine" blockbuster new director Wen Muye...
Seven directors, who grew up in different eras, are good at different types of movies.
But it is also such a difference, which gives this film an advantage over other films.
is like what some netizens said:
"Seven directors with proven skills, the stewed'dishes' will certainly not be unpalatable."
In addition to the director, the performance of actors is also one of our criteria for judging the quality of movies. .
In "My Motherland and Me", more than 50 actors starred, and none of them were behind.
For example, Zhang Yi in "Encounter" cried countless audiences with a pair of eyes through a mask.
On the shaky bus, his lover who hadn't seen him in three years recognized him.
Faced with the question of his lover, Zhang Yi's role only said:
"I don't know you, you admit the wrong person".
can take a closer look, that the slightly trembling palms and tightly bowed shoulders have betrayed him.
Zhang translated, performing the most moving details.
Another example is Du Jiang in "Return". The flag-raiser he played was not many lines, but he became the highlight character in the whole story.
At the moment when the national flag was raised, he didn't have a line.
However, his Adam's apple was choking, and his thumb was shaking uncontrollably.
In "My Motherland and Me", every actor is doing his best to perform.
Zhang Yi only eats a cucumber a day and lost more than ten catties in a short time in order to show the sick feeling;
Du Jiang went to find the deity of the flag-raiser Zhu Tao to perform professional training...
There are more than fifty actors, covering the three "ranks" of old, middle and young, but they all hold the same respect. Under their moving interpretation, we unconsciously devote ourselves to every moment in the long river of history, crying and laughing with those shining people...

Singing the ordinary is the ultimate meaning
There are directors and good actors, but if there is no correct value orientation, the quality of the film will certainly not pass.
Seven stories, seven sections of history, it is not easy to let these seven capture people's hearts in a short moment.
But "Me and My Motherland" did it.
It does not shine the spotlight on the great historical figures, but makes ordinary people like you and me become the center of the historical stage.
Take Xu Zheng's "Win the Championship" for example, the story of the women's volleyball championship, but the little boy in the alley is the protagonist. In order to let the neighbors in the neighborhood see the women's volleyball finals, Dongdong climbed up the roof over and over again, holding the wires with his immature hands.
But my best friend Xiaomei is coming out soonChina, if you don’t give her a gift, it will never be too late.
goes forward, is the back of Xiaomei being dragged away by her mother; behind, is the neighbour who wants to watch the women's volleyball final.
Dongdong stood there, tears pattering down. Although
couldn't bear it, he still chose to turn around and ran to the roof while crying.
is like a little hero, he raised the "eye-catching" antenna. The
women's volleyball team won the championship, cheering in the alley.
Dongdong, who could come down from the roof, fell into his father's arms and cried.
’s full of regrets and grievances were finally diluted by one sentence:
“Women’s Volleyball Team won the championship, I’m so excited...”
alleys, old TV sets, and twittering neighbors.
Seeing this, we realized that every ordinary person is actually part of the long history.
We always focus the highlights of history on great men, but forget to look around ourselves.
"Me and My Motherland", it is precisely to help us retrieve this.
National Day passed, we have witnessed the prosperity of the motherland, and look forward to a more brilliant future.
But in addition to these, there is another thing that is equally meaningful, that is, look back and review the 70 years of history.
went to see the flagpole that stood on the eve of the founding of New China;
went to see the people who shouted "Beijing Come on" when they went to see the Beijing Olympics;
went to see the day of the military parade, as a pilot who was prepared to fly but still respectful …
So, back to the original question, "My Motherland and Me", why did it become a hit? The answer to
is self-evident-
is high-quality, sincere, and weighty.
It gave us all the Chinese people the most touching memoir, and also reminded us:
every Chinese is an indispensable part of the motherland.
2.56 billion in 14 days, it's worth it.
also hopes that the main theme movies centered on small characters will emerge in the domestic film market in the future.
should be remembered, none of us can forget.
