Nervous, exciting, shocking, lingering fears.
This is my biggest feeling when I watch " Homecoming ". After watching
, I drove home, passed the familiar square, saw the square dance aunts, dancing to the sound of the song "My Motherland and Me", and saw the happy children, accompanied by their parents, no Running and frolicking carelessly, I recalled the ending scene in the movie "The Journey Home", and I couldn't help sighing and bursting into tears.
When I got home, I sat down at the computer and I wrote these words.
1.
Before watching "The Journey Home", I had an estimate for it.
I thought it would be the same as " Wolf ", " Red Sea Operation " and other movies, with the hero's super invincible force value, with the deadly fighting of fists to the flesh, with the hot war scenes, attracting audiences Eyeballs, to achieve a blood-boiling effect.
However after looking at it, I found that I was wrong. Zong Dawei, the diplomat in
, is not only without force, but also gentle and defenseless.
even faced the rebels, he was a little "cowardly", sweating nervously.
isn't "great" at all.
and our imagination are completely different things.
But the feeling of shock was born from the beginning. The reason why
is shocked is because is real .
is so real that you think you're watching a documentary. How cruel is the
war?
Just look at those pictures in "The Journey Home".
In Numia, which is under fire, human life has become like an ant, and it seems that it is not worth mentioning at all.
stray bullets with unknown origins may fly at any time, unexplained conflicts may break out at any time, and elusive rebels may appear at any time.
is so overwhelming, there is nowhere to hide.
's desire to survive has become the only remaining instinct.
Faced with this situation, who is not afraid? Who doesn't feel panic and powerless?
So when Zong Dawei faced the chaotic and noisy world, when he felt that death was coming, he was so frightened that he retched, and when he faced the "Russian roulette" request made by the leader of the rebel army, he showed weakness and hesitation. When in a state of indecision...
I can understand him especially.
because this is a person who has real flesh and blood, emotions and sensuality.
not god.
despite his status as a diplomat.
But he is also a son, husband and father like everyone else.
He also has concerns, and he also has an endless desire for life.
So initially, he was "avoiding" the task of evacuation .
He said to his colleague and friend Zhang Ning, "My wife is about to give birth, I want to leave quickly."
However, because Zhang Ning was innocently involved in the street fire and died unfortunately, so he resolutely gave up the opportunity to return to China, took over the duties of a diplomat, succeeding Zhang Yu.
He handed the ticket to a Taiwanese compatriot and chose to stay behind.
He hopes that through his experience and wisdom, he can lead his compatriots to escape that place like purgatory on earth.
In the movie "Operation Red Sea" released in 2018, Zhang Yi played the role of Yang Rui, the captain of Jiaolong Commando , who was brave and tenacious, and seemed to be omnipotent.
However, this time, in "The Journey Home", he played Zong Dawei, but he was only a civil servant at the Consular Protection Center of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Zong Dawei does not know martial arts, nor does he possess the resolute action style and precise marksmanship like Yang Rui.
but he has the keen eye of a diplomatLight, and the precise judgment cultivated by years of professional experience.
has his wit and way of doing things in an abnormal state during a special period.
This is the valuable experience he has accumulated through hundreds of battles.
Before watching "The Journey Home", many of us didn't know much about the work of evacuation diplomats.
thought that they were all in suits and shoes, talking diplomatic rhetoric, and then organized compatriots, bought air tickets, and sent everyone home safely, all the way unimpeded.
is a diplomat who appeared in "The Journey Home", completely different from what we imagined.
For example, Zhang Ning smiles when he sees people.
For example, Yan Xingzhou is unsmiling and has a calm and sophisticated style of conduct.
As for Zong Dawei, he seems "sleek and sophisticated".
Although they have different personalities, in the face of emergencies, they each have their own strategies and "killers".
Let's just talk about the hero Zong Dawei. He not only understands multiple languages, but also handles specific problems with ease.
has different national conditions because of different countries. As a diplomat, he must respect firstly, integrate secondly, and know how to "act on a whim" and adapt accordingly.
Communication with people is a big question.
But for Zong Dawei, it is simply "a trivial matter".
He let us see what is really high emotional intelligence and high intelligence. When
was dealing with the corrupt police in Numia, he knew that walking the "right way" would not work, so he had to "play a little trick" to get himself and his colleagues out safely.
And when he was obstructed by border officials at the Numia border station, he responded calmly and stretched, allowing everyone to pass the border smoothly.
He seems to be omnipotent. If he needs to pay a fine, he will pay a fine. The only purpose of
is to lead the compatriots to evacuate quickly.
Who said that heroes must be full of tendons and guns to charge into battle?
Zong Dawei and his companions are also fighting wits and courage with various forces in a complex and ever-changing environment.
went through all kinds of hardships and finally succeeded in evacuation.
Their force value is zero. No one can deny
, , they are real soldiers without guns and heroes who lead the safe return of their compatriots.
Second,
The movie "Returning Thousands of Miles" gives us the most intuitive feeling - it's too real. The truth of
is mainly reflected in three aspects.
One is a true restoration of "Chinese-style evacuation of overseas Chinese".
Second, the scene is very real.
three is the actor's performance, and it is very real.
This movie is based on true events.
Before this, the word "evacuation" could only be seen in news reports.
And the movie "Returning Thousands of Miles" allows us to see the working conditions of diplomats in the war, which is far more thrilling than the description in the news.
How chaotic will the country be in a civil war?
is the smell of death everywhere.
Any corner of the street may explode at any time.
's cold shot from unknown origin is even more difficult to guard against.
is littered with corpses everywhere and no safe place to be found.
Even the billboards are covered with dead bodies. The terrifying atmosphere of
has permeated every corner of the city.
Director Rao Xiaozhi , through the lens of the movie, has carried out a real presentation of these.
also restores the hardships and dangers encountered during the evacuation of overseas Chinese.
I found Rao Xiaozhi's processing to be very advanced.
relaxThere are degrees, retractable freely. At the beginning of the
film, for several minutes, the first line we hear is: "raise the flag passport".
all at once made clear the background of the story, the tension in Numia, and the anxiety of the people. The tense atmosphere of
instantly made the audience's heart come to their throats.
When a team of 4 diplomats entered the city, the atmosphere seemed to lighten up a little, but they were immediately arrested.
Zong Dawei finally settled the matter, the audience just breathed a sigh of relief, but only heard a loud noise in their ears.
A bomb that exploded suddenly. Everything in front of
turned into ruins in an instant, screaming everywhere. The sound and visual effects of
are simply too realistic.
It's like everything is happening around us. The mood of the
audience suddenly returned to a tense state.
Rao Xiaozhi is like this, let the audience's heart follow the rhythm of his film, constantly ups and downs, it is difficult to calm down.
, especially those firefight scenes, make people feel "immersive".
is either a hail of bullets, or a sudden attack by the rebels, or a local official who just makes trouble and won't let it go, or "simply" put a gun in front of you and let you choose. Every stage of
is full of adrenaline rush.
But Rao Xiaozhi will not keep the audience in a tense state of watching the movie all the time. After the conflict breaks out, there will always be a delay.
uses some gentle and steady pictures to depict the characters' hearts and express their emotions.
However, all of this is to pave the way and prepare for the next moment of tension.
How difficult is the road to evacuate overseas Chinese, how great a diplomat like Zong Dawei is.
looked at the real pictures in the movie, we couldn't help but sigh again: has the protection of a strong motherland, what a happy thing it is. The scenes in the
film showing Chinese people helping each other in turbulent areas are also very real and touching.
When it comes to this movie, the authenticity of the actors' performances cannot but be mentioned.
To a large extent, I think it's the emotional performance of the actors that really made this movie.
Third,
Let's talk about Zhang Yi first. He plays the leading actor Zong Dawei.
Zhang Yi's acting skills are beyond doubt. Acting like what, and meticulous.
Let's just talk about his performance in "The Journey Home".
Zong Dawei's role is actually very difficult to play. The difficulty of
is that he can't just imagine and perform his acting skills as he wants.
Because this is based on real events, the rationality of 's performance, , comes first.
In such a specific environment, what state should the character be in? What kind of actions and demeanor are more in line with the logic and character of the character? This is the first question Zhang Yi has to face.
he performed very well, and he is completely worthy of the title of actor.
I think his performance, is good because it is very delicate and precise at the same time.
Now more and more good actors are working on the word "delicacy" in their performances, and they have achieved good results and effects. But there are very few that can really achieve the level of "accuracy".
This requires the actor to have a deep identification and understanding of the character, and it requires the actor to have a wealth of knowledge reserves and sufficient self-confidence as support.
Zhang Yi is undoubtedly the best among them.
How delicate is his performance? In the desert, even if the water leaked a little, he quickly wiped it back to his lips.
This is a detail that is easily overlooked by actors, but Zhang Yicaught.
How accurate is his performance? In the scene of
playing "Russian Roulette" with the rebel leader, Zong Dawei, played by Zhang Yi, faces the test of life and death.
If he doesn't play, his compatriots in the distance will be in danger. But if he plays, then he can't help himself.
he wants to live. His wife just gave birth to a daughter for him, and he wants to go home to see his wife and children.
, but for the safety of his compatriots, he must "bet" his life.
This scene is a test of the actors' acting skills. How did Zhang translate it?
He was sweating, but not big beads of sweat, but fine sweat.
His face, including his eyelids, lips, and even the wrinkles on his forehead, was shaking.
but instead of violent shaking out of control, it shivered slightly.
, he controlled it just right.
, especially when he fired the last shot of the revolver, his eyes can be described as wonderful. Because
's performance is accurate, the characters are more real, and the audience is more trusted.
Another actor who deserves praise is Zhang Zixian.
He's amazing.
Although his role in "Homecoming" was too small, he sacrificed within a few minutes. But he played really well.
Everyone said that he was too suitable for the role of Zhang Ning.
, especially in the scene where he was shot, he acted so realistically that it moved all the audience, the kind of pain that was heart-wrenching.
In fact, Zhang Zixian not only played Zhang Ning vividly, but also the deputy stationmaster Wang in the TV series " Rebel " is also lifelike. It can be seen that there are too many roles for him to play.
This is also a general rule for good actors, right?
Yin Tao and played Bai Hua very well, showing the kind of neither humble nor arrogant and profound sense of justice.
, especially the silent crying scene on the plane returning home, really made the audience feel deeply " empathy ".
In addition, the foreman played by Wang Xun and , and the Yan Xingzhou played by Cheng Taishen and are all impressive.
Surprisingly, there is also the appearance of Li Xuejian and teacher. There are not many scenes, but it shows the spirit and bearing of an ambassador abroad.
Finally, let's talk about Wan Qian who plays Zong Dawei's wife Chen Yue.
She really put her concern for her husband into her eyes and every movement.
In the film, the interaction between Chen Yue and Zong Dawei, more time, is on the phone. But every time Wan Qian handled it differently.
's expression and state, from the initial complaint and anger to the anxiety and worry, are all in place.
is also precisely because of the appearance of the role of Chen Yue, which makes the character Zong Dawei more and more full of personality charm.
shows us that has a family behind every hero who bears a heavy burden, silently paying for him and worrying about him.
And this is the biggest reason why he has the courage to go forward. At the end of the
video, when the plane flew over the Himalaya , and "You have entered the Chinese airspace, welcome home" sounded in the cabin, my tears suddenly fell,
is too difficult. The "return of thousands of miles" for Zong Dawei and his compatriots is really too difficult.
Then, Zong Dawei took a taxi home, and just got off the car, he suddenly heard a "bang". He shrank his shoulders subconsciously, and then saw the fireworks of the Spring Festival.
From the smoke of war to the prosperity of the prosperous world, it seems like a lifetime.
And at this time, we will feel more and more how precious everything in front of us is. When
returned home, Zong Dawei, the sturdy man who dared to lift the rebel revolver, finally shed tears in the arms of his wife Chen Yue. The picture of
is warm but heart-wrenching. All the audience couldn't hold back their tears.
After watching "Homecoming", my heart has been unable to calm down for a long time.
One is that the film is really catchy, and the other is that the atmosphere created by the film is addicting.
So I drove through the square and saw the pictures of Cathay Pacific and Civil Security, and my tears rolled down again.
There are still many places in the world that are far from being as peaceful as we think.
is not only the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine, but also the scenes of war in many places, which are so shocking and appalling.
Fortunately, we grew up in a country far from war.
So, how precious and beautiful are the days of peace? Perhaps, only those who have witnessed it with their own eyes have the best experience.
"Returning Thousands of Miles", from the blood boiling when watching the movie to the tears after watching the movie, we really feel that the embrace of the motherland of is the safest place for us, and to protect our happy homeland, It's the best thing we should do.
May I ask if you have seen this "The Journey Home"? How do you feel and experience? You are welcome to interact with more netizens through the message area.
