This National Day file " Homecoming " has become the biggest winner. The ratings of other platforms are not bad, but the Douban rating is only 7.4, and the same similar film is the Korean movie " Mogadishu " The score is 8.1. This film is really not as good as "The Journey Home".
I halfway through watching this movie, when North Korea's leading group of diplomats entered the South Korean embassy here. You don't need to look to know the next direction, and you don't need to look to know the psychological changes of the characters. This kind of old-fashioned plot is dressed in Hollywood themes, and it tells about the kind of film about the Northern and Southern Dynasties that Korean films are good at. The completion of
"Mogadishu" is quite satisfactory, at most a high level of 7 points, if you like the theme and actors, you can give an emotional score of about 7.3. But now this rating is really a joke.
Although domestic audiences always like to praise foreign movies and depreciate domestic movies, this movie makes Douban ratings completely a joke.
Douban 8.1, rave reviews from netizens? How about the Korean version of "The Journey Home"
Many people may not know that the Douban score of South Korea's "Mogadishu" was as high as 8.4, which is already a classic type of film history, and it has dropped to 8.1 after more than a year. But still on the threshold of a classic. Given that "The Homecoming" is still in theaters, I won't give any spoilers here.
Let's talk about the plot of "Mogadishu" here. The plot of this movie is actually very simple.
is probably 1991. At that time, South Korea was running around in order to join the United Nations . Both South Korea and North Korea were eyeing this poor African country. At the beginning, the two protagonists learned that they were tripped by North Korea. The matter of the two is very disrespectful to each other, and now this politically makes the stumbling child even more unhappy.
When the two sides meet, Xiba Xiba wants to fight, but the protagonist can't really do it -
At this time, a civil war broke out in Mogadishu, the capital of Somalia , and the rebels and the government army fought together. The situation is very serious Chaos, it's hard to tell what happened to foreigners in Mogadishu.
However, the protagonist group in this movie is not to evacuate , but to find a way to escape by themselves. However, South Korea and North Korea did not withdraw immediately because of their weak diplomatic strength, especially the North Korean ambassador went to the Chinese embassy for help, but it turned out that the Chinese embassy was also burned by the locals.
Then the North Korean protagonist group and the South Korean protagonist group merged and fled Mogazadi together.
This is the early stage of the plot, the mid-stage plot is about the two major protagonists because of the game between the history of North Korea and South Korea and the real politics, the rift and opinions between the two sides are very big, the mid-stage plot is the place where the two main protagonists are hiding , began to attack each other because of suspicion. The biggest conflict was that the security protagonists on both sides also fought for this.
But there are innocent women and poor children in the middle, and the protagonists of both sides have pity for each other's innocents.
In the end, the two sides finally decided to cooperate after running in, and then they found a route to the evacuation point. As a result, he finally got on the plane under the hail of bullets, and the expression at the end sublimated the film. It is probably that the ambassadors of the North and South Korea have gone through hardships and fled the city of Mogadishu with the Italian plane.
The airport that picks up the plane has countless government personnel and media from various countries, and government personnel from North Korea and South Korea are also here. The result is that the two protagonists have an incomparable tacit understanding. After they got off the plane, they pretended to not know each other immediately, and that's it. Passed by and walked away without looking back.
That's right, the plot of the movie is really that simple, there is no turbulence at all.
"Homecoming" 7.4, "Mogadishu" 8.1, Douban score is just a "joke"
"Mogadishu" is how the South Korean diplomat escaped from Mogadishu (to put it horribly, it means fleeing for his life), "Mogadishu" MilesHomecoming" is how our diplomats evacuate the people. The completion of "Mogadishu" is still good, and "The Journey Home" is also very good. There is no need to criticize another film as worthless in order to praise one film.
However, the overall level of "Mogadishu" is indeed not as good as "Homecoming", really.
, let's talk about it separately, the film and television industry level and production cycle, the US " escape from Tehran " cost 44.5 million US dollars or about 317 million yuan, started in August 2011, and premiered in August 2012. The cost of
"Mogadishu" is 24 billion won or about 137 million yuan. It will start on October 26, 2019, and it will be filmed for 117 days on February 19, 2020 for nearly four months. It will premiere on July 28, 2021. The cost of
"Homecoming" is about 300 million yuan. It will be launched on April 10, 2022, and it will actually be completed in mid-July, and it will only be an Easter egg in August. Three months of filming and two months of post-production.
Don't look at it as if the domestic film investment is higher, but it is a top investment film in both countries. The result is that " Homecoming", whether it is the film and television industry, special effects, rhythm, literary drama, plot, expression, etc., is now all-rounded, really.
"Mogadishu" is lackluster in every aspect, and it's still a matter of the Northern and Southern Dynasties. It was a few protagonists who fought against each other in the early stage, cooperated in the later stage, and finally left Mogadishu together, but they passed by tacitly in the face of politics and reality, and that's basically it.
"Homecoming" is actually a grand narrative that breaks away from the main theme and talks about human nature. Zong Dawei deals with the dilemma of family and work. He wants to take care of Xiaojia's "selfishness" and hesitation in the face of danger. This is very good. This kind of It is also the way commercial films usually show a hero.
Zhang Ning and Cheng Lang also showed their human nature. The former one is desire and has a clear goal. Unconsciously want to make progress, to do something, to accumulate merits.
in a movie with the main theme, this is too commendable. Even in today's Chinese movies, this is very valuable. The reason why people are alive and cute is because they have desires to walk the road!
To be honest, if it is compared vertically and horizontally, the completion of "Mogadishu" is still OK. The biggest problem is that South Korea has made too many movies of the same theme, and there are many classic works. It embodies the routines of Korean commercial films in characters, plots, and expressions.
Finally, the commercial blockbusters around the world have not been very good in recent years. I believe that although many Hollywood blockbusters have not been released in China in recent years, most people have watched them more or less through the Internet, although "Homecoming" also has its shortcomings. , But such an excellent commercial blockbuster, there are few Hollywood blockbusters that can be compared?
Therefore, the Korean movie "Mogadishu" is also worthy of comparison. Now that the ratings are so high, Douban has become a joke.
How many Hollywood blockbusters and Korean blockbusters are the main themes? In fact, most of the major blockbusters in the market are also the main melody, but the filming there is more smooth and silent.
It can be seen from "Homecoming" and "Mogadishu" that China needs a more fair scoring software
Finally, this Douban score has been controversial in China in recent years. In fact, Douban has always been the worst platform. It can evaluate works without buying tickets, which greatly reduces the cost of scoring, plus most of the users are movie fans and literary youth, especially users in certain places, so it is the largest location for overseas naval forces.
because the rhythm is the most economical, the Douban score often has nothing to do with the movie box office half a dime. On the contrary, the ratings of Tao Piao Piao and Maoyan are more than the real 's , while Tao Piao Piao and Maoyan ratings are almost all positively correlated with the movie box office, and you can only evaluate after buying a ticket.price.
I have to mention here that " Wandering Earth " was on the first day of the second day of the new year and the third day of the third day of the new year, and it was rated on Douban from eight o'clock to the afternoon. By the end of Wanwan's annual vacation, the ratings dropped explosively. One of the most outrageous is that it was suddenly dropped by 0.3 in the middle of the night and dropped directly to 6.9.
Douban officials did not take any action like this obvious navy behavior, which eventually caused the audience to give Douban a negative score in revenge.
This is a very iconic event, and it is also very straightforward that of brought Douban's rating problem to everyone's face.
Later, the traffic economy and 's rice circle economy entered the Douban competition, coupled with the behavior of various navy, and the above does not allow the rating of certain movies to be locked, and it is so exciting that audiences who don't want to see the theme movie are not objective. Score, not to mention that this movie also has "traffic stars".
Douban is a group of petty bourgeois movie fans, the literary and youth groups and the social platform with the flood of navy, it does not represent the views of ordinary people on movies at all, and some only have Qinggao and navy. If you want to know which movie ordinary people think is good, it is much more accurate to look directly at Tao Piao Piao and Maoyan.
wants to get rid of creating a real scoring vane, which requires a lot of efforts, so I won't talk about it here.
Finally, I hope that other domestic movies will study "The Journey Home". If all the domestic theme movies in the future are made like "The Journey", then they will not be theme movies, but Chinese-style commercial blockbusters in the new era. can go to the world.
