During the National Day holiday, I went to the cinema to watch "'s Long Homecoming " directed by Rao Xiaozhi , which is based on real events and tells the story of the evacuation of Chinese diplomats , from the moment Zhang Ning was killed by stray bullet Cry and cry until the end of the movie.
is of course crying for the characters in the movie, but also crying for the unexpressed and unmanageable emotions in his heart. This made me think that emotionally moving people, making people cry in the movie theater, isn't it as important to modern people as going to the movie theater to laugh?
However, some movies still have an aftertaste after making people cry and laugh; some movies have little aftertaste; some movies have an embarrassing feeling after making people cry and laugh, as if they were forced to accompany the director and actors played a play.
"The Journey Home" can be said to make people cry at ease and happy. When we cry, we can empathize not only with our compatriots who are waiting for the motherland to rescue them from a foreign country where the civil war broke out, but also with the diplomats who put their own safety aside and rescue their compatriots from dire straits. The former makes People deeply feel the importance of a strong motherland to individual citizens, and the latter makes people realize the responsibility, the obligatory sense of responsibility and the deep love for their fellow citizens. These are not emotions that often appear in our daily life, so it is very important to have a real and moving expression in literary and artistic works. It is not only a call to common emotions, but also an idealistic guiding light, giving us a common sense of value and pursuit, and letting us see that there are still many places in life that are worth working hard and can work hard; in our view There are a lot of people working hard in places where they can't reach.
As a themed commercial film, there are not many commercial elements in "The Journey Home": the emotional scene between two diplomats and couples, the stubbornness of the new diplomat played by Wang Junkai, the two diplomats Zong Dawei and Zhang Ning The brotherhood between each other, the tension of the fate compass of the revolver "one bullet", the thrill of leading the crowd through the line of fire in the civil war, the twists and turns of mediating with the border officials of other countries... Although it is the first time to direct a thrilling theme, Rao Xiaozhi is worthy of He is said to be a master of rhythm with Lin Chaoxian, and there is no procrastination or redundancy in the dangerous plot. What is particularly important is that in "Homecoming", the progression of the plot, one after another, not only conforms to the logic of the characters themselves, but also contributes to arousing the audience's empathy and empathy, but also roughly conforms to the logic of the story itself: The brotherhood between Zong Dawei and Zhang Fan forced him to become more involved in the work of "evacuating overseas Chinese" after Zhang Fan's sacrifice and Bai Hua's disappearance. Entering the dangerous game of the revolver "compass of destiny"; Cheng Lang, played by Wang Junkai, is full of freshness and sense of mission as a new diplomat, which is evident from his insistence on doing "the right thing" while carrying out his official duties; The government army and the rebel army have different attitudes towards Chinese diplomats and Chinese people, but in their own characteristics of toughness, bribery, compromise, and fear, it is not difficult to see China's increasingly powerful figure on the international stage...
Zhang Yi and Wang Junkai played their roles appropriately. There are many close-knit scenes in the film that test the acting skills of the actors. In the two revolver "Fate Compass" scenes, Zhang Yi interprets the first intense inner struggle and the second inner struggle, fear and despair very real and empathetic; Of course, the presentation of the final effect also contributed; Wang Junkai's performance in the film was tepid, as if the role of this new diplomat was specially tailored for him. There is a little more amiability, credibility and desirability in my heart. The diplomats played by Cheng Taishen and Zhang Zixian, and the contemporary women (family members of diplomats) played by Yin Tao and Wan Qian are all real, natural and convincing.
"Homecoming" shows the grass-roots staff of my country's diplomatic circles. The protagonists, Zong Dawei and Cheng Lang, are first-class secretaries of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs' Consular Protection Center, and the other is "attendant"; It is " Arabic ", which is constantly sent to certain volatile countries to perform protection tasks. Although this brought him honor and recognition, hisThe price of honor is undoubtedly much higher than that of colleagues who were sent to developed countries in Europe and America. This is the origin of the line in the film "Why can't you be sent to Europe like Liu Xiaoxiao's father". This is also the reason why we, who have various disappointments in the workplace and in life, can empathize with them and be moved by their bravery and sense of responsibility.
Not only do we hope that we can be protected by such people, we also hope that we can become such people.
This is the reason why this realist theme blockbuster is admirable and empathetic, and it has become the "popular" and box office champion of this year's National Day.
