"My Motherland and Me" has been in theaters for 18 days, and the box office has reached 2.6 billion. Although more than a week has passed since the National Day holiday, it still tops the list. In the case of
, the number of filming sessions is lower than that of "Captain China", the attendance rate and the box office are all unbeatable. The seven short films contained in the
film are based on different turning points of the times. The film uses paper and pen to record each story in series, and does not appear to be separated. Every story of
has its own bright moment. I believe that this resonance is felt by many people:
"Eve": Ingenuity
Turning Point Starting from the founding ceremony of 1949, this story is not as positive as in previous film and television dramas. The shocking scene of the ceremony. Instead, it is cut from the perspective of a small person behind the scenes-the craftsman played by Huang Bo.
only talks about one shot without talking about the whole body, which is the key to creating a sense of urgency. Everyone knows what the
ceremony is like, but almost no one knows how much effort the maker of the electric flag-raising device has made behind the scenes. The countdown on the screen by
every once in a while reinforces this sense of urgency. After all sorts of "obstacles" were removed, the highlight moment of the story came: the five-star red flag slowly rose, and the firing pin steadily hit the metal ball.
has no special metal, the people donated spontaneously, and the pots and pans are brought; there is no suitable phonograph to play music, and manual accompaniment is found every second; if you can’t get into the square, you have to rush in, fear of heights. You have to climb up with your eyes closed...
"Eve before" embodies the Chinese people's spirit of unity and concerted efforts.
"Encounter": The unsung hero
Zhang Yi plays an ordinary scientific research staff lofty, ordinary leaders do not know his name. When the equipment failed, he opened the equipment door and reached in in spite of the danger of his life, preventing a disaster from happening.
Anyone who has watched the American drama "Chernobyl" knows that the harm caused by nuclear radiation to the human body is unimaginably cruel. The nosebleeds from
on the spot penetrated the white mask, showing its seriousness.
People who are directly exposed to nuclear radiation will usually die extremely painfully in a short period of time. As a secret researcher, Gao Yuan certainly understands the consequences. The highlight moment of the story of
is a scene where Gao Yuan and his lover are gradually separated in the crowd. He couldn't open his mouth to tell his lover that he was high and far away, until the good news of the successful launch came, he was considered to have completed the mission. When he wanted to open his mask and tell his lover that he was lofty, he was scattered by the crowd by accident. When
is developing some secret scientific research projects in the country, there are many such staff who dedicated their youth in obscurity and cut off all family relationships. Due to the immature technology at the beginning, many R&D personnel have devoted their young lives. At the end of the
story, Ren Suxi cried and cried when he saw a hero who dedicated himself to scientific research broadcast on the TV. This is actually the true portrayal of the year.
No one knows your name, and your achievements will last forever.
"Win the Championship": My Chinese heart
's story in the small alley is full of childishness and humor, which is also the usual method of director Xu Zheng. Among the seven stories, "Win the Championship" is the easiest one, but there are not many tears. The
perspective focuses on the old alleys in Shanghai. Through the sincere friendship between Dongdong and Xiaomei, the Chinese women's volleyball team won the championship, and the general public's support for sportsmanship. The highlight moment in the
short film is the moment when Dongdong accidentally pulls the curtains and hangs on his body and jumps up. With the choice of "confessing" Xiaomei or sacrificing the "ego" to let the neighborhood see the critical moment of the women's volleyball championship through the TV, Dongdong grew up instantly.
There are many metaphors in this paragraph, such as the scene of Dongdong hanging curtains and flying, paying tribute to the highlight moment of Liu Xiang's hurdle victory.
Ru Dongdong gave Xiaomei the "My Chinese Heart" tape, through the lyrics of "Although I wear a dress, my heart is still Chinese", it corresponds to Xiaomei's return as a "returned scholar" when she grows up. The bridge of the motherland.
If Xiaomei gave Dongdong a racket with a five-star red flag, it corresponds to the bridge that Dongdong has grown up to become a table tennis coach for the country.
"Return": national dignity
due to the time difference between the two countries, in order to compete for the return of Hong KongIn the second of the time when the flag was picked up, the negotiations between China and the United Kingdom were at a deadlock. They did not take advantage of other countries for a second, nor did they allow their dignity to be offended!
Time and jet lag lead to the history of the change of the little man played by Ren Dahua. He is an ordinary watchmaker from mainland China. Although he only lives in a corner in the busy city and does repair work that does not make much money day after day, he still adheres to it. It is the respect attitude of the fathers to time.
is as small as the rigorous ingenuity of ordinary people in work, and as large as the country’s dignity, every second is the important moment of Hong Kong’s return through details.
The highlight moment of this paragraph is of course the moment when the national flag was raised on time, but I think the action of Hui Yinghong's policeman changing the cap badge at the time and the moment when Ren Dahua sits on the rooftop to watch the fireworks in the distance are even more touching. The people who wandered to Hong Kong are no longer a foreign country!
"Hello Beijing": The taxi driver "Zhang Beijing" played by Ge You well interprets the image of a Beijing man. He has a good face, loves bragging, and is a little separated from his son.
But at the same time, he is also a kind and enthusiastic Beijing man. After getting the Olympic ticket by chance, he was "taken away" by a little boy from Wenchuan. After a series of humorous disturbances, Zhang Beijing generously gave this ticket to the little boy.
The highlight of this short film was in the words of the little boy. He said he wanted to see with his own eyes and touch the guardrail built by his father. His stubborn expression made the audience who were still laughing the moment tearful. The theme of
is the 2008 Olympic Games that everyone has experienced. It was a grand occasion for the joy of the whole people, but a little boy brought up the heavy topic of the Wenchuan earthquake.
The little boy was reluctant to buy new clothes, but he was willing to spend 800 yuan on tickets; Zhang Beijing was meant to give his son a gift, but he was willing to give it to a little boy he never knew...
He is from the market, but he is full Great love. The Olympic spirit is exactly this: mutual understanding, friendship and unity.
"Day Meteor": Spiritual Poverty Alleviation
The film directed by Chen Kaige has always been atmospheric, and "Day Meteor" is also the same. The desert, horses, and the setting sun constitute an extremely magnificent picture. Among the 7 short films,
has the most wonderful background composition.
The story of two lost teenagers being rescued by the director of poverty alleviation, Lao Li, is based on facts, but has been sublimated to a more "dreamy" height.
Tian Zhuangzhuang said to the boy who lifted the lamb: How long can you hold it to stand? The implication is that poverty alleviation work should not only provide material help, but also provide children with adequate "food" spiritually.
Wodele and Hazab accepted Lao Li's material gifts, but they did not change their outlook on life psychologically. In the long run, no matter how much poverty relief work is done, they still cannot stand up.
This paragraph joins a major turning point in the successful landing of Shenzhou 11. On the surface, it seems to have nothing to do with poverty alleviation, but in Lao Li's view, saving lost teenagers needs a "thing" that can impact their hearts to intensify . With limited cognition, the two teenagers suddenly saw people coming down from the sky, and the shock they received can be imagined.
Now Siziwangqi has become a holy land for aerospace enthusiasts. It has developed prosperously and is no longer as desolate as before. This is the "spiritual poverty alleviation" that Chen Kaige wants to show.
I think the highlight moment of this period is not the scene of two young men raising the astronauts, but the moment when they suddenly opened their eyes and shed tears.
Poor ideology cannot get rid of poverty. The state's precise poverty alleviation is reflected in this aspect: teaching people to fish is worse than teaching people to fish. Only ideologically poverty alleviation is truly accurate.
"Convoy": The mission of soldiers
"Convoy" directed by Wen Muye reproduced the background of the military parade commemorating the 70th anniversary of the War of Resistance against Japan in 2015 from the perspective of a "standby" female pilot.
women do not let the eyebrows, these female pilots regard the national gift as their responsibility, shoulder the important task of "the air guard of honor", and create a shining national image card on the blue sky!
A girl who has been arrogant and dreaming about blue sky since she was a child, she will become a female pilot who is not afraid of defeat and difficulty when she grows up. From these ordinary perspectives, she portrays their spirit of persevering and paying without regrets.
2015 is only a few years away from now, manyEveryone remembers that the flying guard of honor in the blue sky and Changhong was shocked beyond words, but who knows how many lovely people silently paid for China while showing the world the strength of China. When the
teammate's plane failed, Lu Xiaoran had the opportunity to replace the team members to realize her dream, but she resolutely chose "escort" to guide her teammates to complete the task smoothly and return home alone. This is the brightest moment in "Convoy".
She has always refused to admit defeat, but because she has done well enough, she is the one who sticks to the last. The mission of a soldier is more important than personal glory.
are like thousands of children who escort the motherland, they donate light and heat to the motherland in obscurity, and we don't know their names. With such a group of loveliest people, how can our motherland not flourish?
In fact, these seven stories are basically around the same theme, it is "sacrifice the individual to complete the greater self", there is a country and a home. Under the united efforts, there is no strong or unbreakable wall.
Thanks to these directors and actors. They worked together to create a movie with zero pay, breaking the curse of the main theme movie that is usually not ideal at the box office. "My Motherland and Me" may become an important milestone in the history of film.
Apart from China, which country in the world can do it!
