Powerful Film Critics Group + National Day Film Book
is back to the annual " National Day Archives ".
Although compared to the fierce situation of many movies in previous years, this year is a little calmer.
But this does not affect Uncle Yu's enthusiasm for watching movies. There are movies in
, which can't wait as early as the official announcement.
I watched spotting for the first time today, and sure enough, it was flaming and touching.
Let's talk about it -
" The Way Home "
Home Coming
The film is adapted from real events, and it is a rare "diplomat " evacuation 4z.
The desert yellow sand, the flames of war ignited, and on the whole highlights the temperament of a commercial blockbuster. The main creative lineup of
is also very eye-catching.
Director, Rao Xiaozhi .
's masterpiece " the unknown " makes people see his ability to mobilize group images and control the field, as well as the potential to be in charge of large-scale commercial films.
finally waited for "The Journey Home", where he can give full play to his strength.
, director Guo Fan of " Wandering Earth ", and consultant Wang Hongwei serve as supervisors, and the audio-visual effects of the big scenes are also guaranteed.
Let's look at the cast again, Zhang Yi, Wang Junkai, , Yin Tao, lead the starring role. The other actors of
are also powerful and familiar faces, including Wan Qian, Li Xuejian , Zhang Zixian , Wang Xun , etc.
When a good story meets a good actor, sparks will naturally collide.
The title of the title is "Returning Thousands of Miles", which is very meaningful. Although
has only four words, it is extremely heavy. The direction of
's return home is very clear, that is 's home. The
family is the feeling in the heart of the Chinese people.
But the process of going home is far away and extremely difficult. The story of
takes place in the Republic of Numia, and the civil unrest is endless.
The rebels and the government have engaged in a protracted war.
You can guess from the dead bodies hanging from the billboards on the side of the road, how dangerous the situation was at that time .
The Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs quickly launched the " evacuation operation ".
Diplomat Zong Dawei (played by Zhang Yi) and newcomer from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Cheng Lang (played by Wang Junkai) were ordered to assist in the evacuation of overseas Chinese.
as originally planned,The two didn't even have to leave the airport, they went back and forth on the same day.
can temporarily mutate variables.
The embassy found that more than a thousand Chinese were also stranded on the western border of in Numia.
Therefore, Zong Dawei went there, mediated with the border officials, and subtly persuaded him to open the border, opening an evacuation channel for his compatriots.
thought that the mission was over. Who knows, in the battle area of still has compatriots trapped.
There are rebels there and it's very dangerous.
Zong Dawei had to take Cheng Lang and continue to go deep into the war zone.
In the bad situation of no food reserves and no mobile phone signal, Zong Dawei led more than 100 people on the road.
They have to face the muzzle of the rebel army and hike through the arid desert.
Relying on the longing for home, everyone's hearts are united.
finally created a miracle, and walked out of a home .
When it comes to domestic movies with the theme of "evacuation of overseas Chinese", we naturally think of "Wolf Warrior 2" and " Red Sea Operation ".
After all, both films were successful at both the box office and word of mouth.
Homecoming will inevitably be compared. What is the difference between
?
"Wolf Warrior 2" and "Operation Red Sea" focus more on action scenes .
Their protagonists are the special forces Leng Feng and the Jiaolong commando , all of them have extraordinary skills and accurate marksmanship.
"Wolf Warrior 2" stills
The protagonist is an unarmed diplomat in a suit.
Therefore, the film wants to show " evacuate overseas Chinese with text ", highlighting the importance of diplomats' decision-making and command.
director Rao Xiaozhi said about the original intention of the film:
"The diplomats who rushed to evacuate overseas Chinese are actually ordinary people. They are husbands, sons and fathers. This kind of power moves me very much."
is exactly such a concept , let the audience see " ordinary people " showing their true feelings.
especially Zong Dawei, a diplomat played by Zhang Yi. In order to shape this role,
buried a " home and national line " throughout the movie.
When he first arrived in Numia, he always remembered his wife (played by Wan Qian) at home, and wanted to complete the task as soon as possible.
can be ordered in the face of danger and travel to the western border and war zones.
He realized that he might not be able to accompany his wife and see the children for the first time.
are compatriots under the fire on one side, and children who are about to be born on the other.
It was hard to hide the depression and annoyance in his heart, but he had no choice but to stay behind.
Until his wife contacted Zong Dawei, the backlog of emotions for many days was finally vented.
Zong Dawei's hand trembled slightly while holding the phone, and his tears couldn't stop flowing down.
instantly went soft and curled up under a rock.
When he learned that his wife gave birth to a girl, he was so excited that he hit a rock hard on his head. This scene of
is one of the most moving moments in the whole film, and it is also one of the highlights of Zhang Yi's acting skills .
As a diplomat, his duty is to protect the safety of his compatriots and bring them home;
can be a father and a husband, why doesn't he want to go home?
faced with the muzzle of the rebels, he would be afraid;
This is human nature, because diplomats are people not gods.
also revealed Zong Dawei's partner Chenglang .
He is a rookie who is new to the battlefield and has a straightforward personality. At first,
thought that the truth about "can't contact the embassy" should be told to everyone.
But Zong Dawei disagrees, and he worries that doing so will lead to disintegration.
Cheng Lang was out of empathy, and Zong Dawei had more experience and a bigger picture, and the two had differences on this point.
In fact, there is no right or wrong between the two approaches, but as a diplomat, you must not hesitate at this time and must make a decisive decision.
Any hesitation on the battlefield can put himself and his compatriots in crisis.
When it was Cheng Lang's turn to lead the team alone, he instantly understood Zong Dawei's good intentions and did not tell the truth.
Whether it is Zong Dawei or Cheng Lang, their inner struggle is actually far more violent than the surrounding artillery fire.
But for the safety of more than 100 compatriots, they must focus on the overall situation and let go of personal gains and losses.
has grown and transformed before and after.
When Zhang Yi talked about the role of Zong Dawei, he thought of Gan Yu who stood up in the Luding earthquake recently.
The figures of them walking in the opposite direction are the figures of ordinary people.
But because they have done what ordinary people can't do, it highlights the value of 's courage and . The real shock of
is one of my feelings after watching the movie. The shock of
not only stems from the truth of the story, but also the authenticity of the atmosphere.
Just as the producer Guo Fan said:
"I hope to truly restore the difficulties and dangers faced by diplomats in the midst of war."
During the process of watching, I once thought that the crew went overseas to film.
In fact, all the scenes are actually 1:1 self-built.
covers an area of more than 20,000 square meters, and has more than 70 buildings in total.
is as small as the billboard design on the street, as large as the palm tree landscape on the roadside, which perfectly reproduces the exotic style.
Even the military equipment that can be seen everywhere on the street is all 1:1.
is just like the real thing.
And in the preparatory stage, the director and screenwriter also read a lot of reportage on the evacuation incident.
visited a number of diplomats and asked them about the ins and outs of the evacuation.
especially filmed the highlight of crossing the desert , and worked hard.
No matter whether the lead actor or the group act, no one's face is clean and his hair is always greasy.
Even in pursuit of the effect of who experienced the sandstorm, the actor buried his face in the sand.
But the scruffy and sloppy they are, the more authentic they feel.
When Zhang Yi was drinking water in the desert, a drop of water slid down the corner of his mouth.
He improvised, wiped it off with his hands, and licked it.
The shortage of supplies and the hardship of survival are reflected in this drop of water.
was reserved for the feature film, and the director was full of praise.
's attentive crew, dedicated actors, and excellent post-production have made "Homecoming" recognized by people inside and outside the industry. At the premiere of
two days ago, a veteran was sitting in the audience.
He said, " A diplomat is a soldier without a gun. "
He liked the movie because it showed the character of a Chinese diplomat for the first time.
Although the diplomat's suit in the movie is torn and his face is dirty, his blood is hot.
This is the most important thing.
"The Journey Home" starts with the evacuation of overseas Chinese and focuses on specific individuals.
weakens the legend, enlarges the human .
has both family and country feelings, personal will, and mutual assistance from fellow countrymen.
movies always closely associate "home" with "country".
At a critical juncture, the driving force that supports diplomats and overseas compatriots is the yearning for home.
This also echoes the ending of the movie -
is based on the strength of the country and focuses on the warmth of a small family.
The fireworks on New Year's Eve were in stark contrast to the previous artillery fire on the battlefield. The design of
is eye-catching, and it is quite a trick.
Zong Dawei is still frightened by the sound, but at this time he is no longer afraid.
Because he is about to see the family he misses day and night, that is his strongest backing.
The journey home is thousands of miles, and the end of the journey is home.
