read some comments on "'s long journey home ", some of them questioned some of the content of the film, and would like to talk about their personal views on this.
is questioned mainly for two points, one is why Zong Dawei ( Zhang Yi) put on a "hippie smile" when facing the Numian border officials, many people feel that it is detrimental Image of a diplomat. The other is why when Cheng Lang ( Wang Junkai ) took out the camera, why was he able to scare off the big villain Mufta, who could shoot directly or snatch the camera tools.
"Hippie Smiley"
Let's talk about Zong Dawei's "hippie smiley" first, to be honest, I didn't understand it at first. But when Zong Dawei brought Bai Hua (played by Yin Tao ) and others to the border station for the second time and saw the border officer again, the hug of the two gave the answer. The border official said that he and Zong Dawei both believed in the country, so as people of the same road, the two sides appreciated each other.
But the current Numia is a country mired in war, and war is often accompanied by corruption. Thinking back to those film and television works with the background of the Republic of China, everyone must understand. This is also foreshadowed in "Returning Thousands of Miles". In the early stage of the film, Zong Dawei and his party were asked for bribes by Numian officers, and finally ended with Zong Dawei paying out of his own pocket. Although
is only a small detail, it objectively reflects the general environment Zong Dawei lives in, which leads him to preconceived and think that the border officer is also a person who sees money. So in order to allow the compatriots stranded in Numia to leave the country smoothly, Zong Dawei had to "hippie smile" to please the border officials.
In all fairness, although the border officer is only a small supporting role in "The Journey Home", he also has a patriotic heart and deserves the respect of everyone. Even if his country is devastated by war, he must do his best to stick to his post. In the face of national justice, he is not inferior to Zong Dawei. Because of this, many viewers, like Zong Dawei, were both angry and sad when they saw the border officer hanged.
The villain does not mean brainless
Let's talk about "camera to scare the villain", I have to admit that this scene is somewhat formalistic, it seems to be imitating "Wolf Warrior 2", Wu Jing is holding the national flag bridge section.
However, in my personal opinion, formalism belongs to formalism, but it is not completely divorced from reality. The reason is very simple. Now that everyone is on the border of Numia, Mufta will not shoot and kill civilians easily, not to mention that there are Chinese citizens on the scene. Once this is done, border soldiers in neighboring countries are witnesses, and international disputes are bound to arise. The previous plot has also been explained. Mufta hopes to be recognized by the international community, so he forced Zong Dawei to hold a certificate to record a video recognizing his legal status. From this, it can be seen that killing and killing mouths is not in the interests of Mufta, but it will backfire and create more enemies for himself.
As for snatching cameras, mobile phones and other shooting tools, it is actually not feasible. Mufta can confiscate the shooting tools of everyone in Numia, but there is nothing to do with those who have already left the country. Across the border, people in neighboring countries can also record the entire process. Do they want to cross the border to snatch it? Obviously it is impossible. As long as Mufta dares to cross the border, the nature of the matter will change immediately, and neighboring countries will most likely regard it as an invasion. Obviously, doing this is also making enemies. If the neighboring countries send troops to intervene, there is a high probability that one's own side will be completely defeated.
To sum up, no matter whether there are cameras, mobile phones and other shooting tools, Mufta will not start killing people. The big villain does not mean that he has no brains and no benefits.things don't make sense.
Conclusion
I don't know why, but some people have a lot of malice towards this film, and even say that Chinese movies will have a future if they don't watch "The Homecoming". At the same time, there are some people who are full of disgust for a certain star, saying that they are giving up support because of the star. In addition, very few groups, because the movies they wanted to watch suddenly withdrew from the National Day archives, took the movies that were released as scheduled as the object of venting.
has something to say about this individual. Although the subject matter of the film is different, the first factor that determines word of mouth must be the production level. Leaving aside the production level, commenting on "off-site" factors violates the principle of considering the facts on a case-by-case basis. Patriotic films can also be pleasing to the eye. Don't use your own preferences as a measure. You can only represent yourself, not anyone else!
personal opinion, don't spray if you don't like it.
