This is the main theme movie directed by Rao Xiaozhi , supervised by Guo Fan , with an investment of up to 350 million, and the details of the creation are very particular.
In the movie, the director also buried a lot of thought-provoking details, which are intriguing.
is here to chat with you today, the eight most scrutinized details in "The Journey Home" that were discovered only after three swipes.
Details of "The Homecoming"
01 Necklace
Zhang Zixian played the diplomat Zhang Ning in "The Homecoming".
He has participated in many well-known films such as " Wandering Earth ", " Me and My Hometown " and " I'm Not the God of Medicine ".
has high-quality personal connections and film resources, and he has cooperated with many first-line stars and big coffees. Needless to say, his acting skills and strengths.
is no exception this time, and his rivalry with actor Zhang Yi is not at all inferior.
Although he only played for a few minutes, he has created the image of a suave, witty and relaxed diplomat.
In "The Journey Home", it is a pity that Zhang Ning, the diplomat he played, went offline too quickly.
Because Zong Dawei's child is about to be born, he gave Zong Dawei a safety necklace that he often wears on his body.
just gave out this necklace to protect safety, but he was accidentally injured by a bullet and died when he went out at night.
But this necklace was finally worn by Zong Dawei on the neck of Zhang Ning's own daughter Fatima.
From this detail, we can see that Zhang Ning and Zong Dawei, the two diplomats, although they usually don't speak much, they are brothers who are close to each other.
Zong Dawei promised Zhang Ning to protect his daughter and wife. He finally fulfilled his promise and brought his wife and daughter back to the arms of the motherland.
02 Little Man Liu Minghui
Wang Xun played a little man in this movie, Liu Minghui.
The role of Liu Minghui is a selfish little figure in the movie.
, the director team specially designed a portable bag that can carry multiple water bottles in order to perfect this small role.
put the bag on his back, and the character style of Liu Minghui played by Wang Xun immediately appeared.
, including when Liu Minghui overheard Cheng Lang and Zong Dawei's conversation in the desert, he was also very selfish and disregarded the performance of the big group.
In the follow-up, he also had an explosive scene because of this, and the details here can be regarded as paving the way for his subsequent outbreak.
Speaking of Zhang Yi and Wang Xun's fate, in fact, the two had worked together as early as 2009 in the film and television drama " my head, my group ".
Zhang Yi played Meng Fanlao , one of Meng Fanlao's brothers played by Wang Xun, be troubled.
It's not only the two of them who reunited this time because of "My Head, My Group", but also Li Chen who played Zhang Lixian, who played a staff member of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in "Homecoming".
03 "In the movie "One Thousand and One Nights"
, when Zong Dawei and Cheng Lang went to the hospital to find medicine at night, they accidentally found a broken "One Thousand and One Nights" fairy tale on the ground.
Zong Dawei gave this book to Zhang Ning's daughter Fatima in order to take care of her emotions.
In the eyes of a child less than ten years old, experiencing such a dangerous evacuation operation is very scary, and it is difficult to accept the psychological level at first.
To soothe her emotions, Fatima's mother, Bai Hua, tells her stories every day.
Fatima also began to gradually try to use fairy tales to understand and explain the whole process of this adult evacuation action.
Although Fatima is a little girl, she is the first witness to the evacuation. The
movie tells the story of the evacuation in her heart through the way the little girl Fatima tells the story of "One Thousand and One Nights".
She used the story of the navigator Sinbad to describe the development of the story of Zong Dawei and his party.
Sinbad is a passionate, intrepid young sailor who sets out with his friends to pursue their sailing dreams. They defeat monsters and monsters, defuse the dangers they encounter, and finally conquer evil. Sinbad's story will forever remain a legend in the world.
The details of the narration here actually hint at the beautiful vision that Zong Dawei and his party will eventually successfully reach the end of the movie.
04 Cheng Lang's camera
In the final part of the movie, the rebels once again blocked the way of the evacuees.
and asked Zong Dawei and the rebel leader to play a game of Russian roulette, allowing them to pass if they were lucky.
After several thoughts, Zong Dawei sacrificed his life to fight with the rebel leader.
went down for three rounds, and in the end, one of the six empty shells did not ring.
The rebel leader who was pierced in public panicked and wanted to raise his pistol to end Zong Dawei's life.
But Cheng Lang raised the camera and shouted at the rebel leader with a loudspeaker, and their actions would be broadcast live around the world.
Rebels need to be recognized around the world in order to become a regular army, so the leader of the rebels heard the threat and put down the pistol.
There is a detail here. In fact, Cheng Lang's camera has no power at all.
He's holding a camera that's not turned on.
But at the juncture of crisis, Cheng Lang dared to confront the enemy regardless of the danger of his life, which is commendable.
A rookie diplomat, full of enthusiasm and passion, who dared to take up legal weapons to protect himself. This is a victory of justice, and it is also a manifestation of the battle of wits and courage between diplomats and rebels.
05 Zong Dawei's lines
There is a scene between Zong Dawei and Cheng Lang in the movie, Zong Dawei said to Cheng Lang:
If you are really in danger, cover your face first, this sentence is not a joke, it is In order to facilitate the claim of the body after the sacrifice.
What a simple and easy to understand sentence, when it comes to the real evacuation battlefield, it is the naked truth.
It's hard to imagine that when one's life cannot be saved, the last thing to save is one's own facial features.
It's like a soldier being hit by a cannonball on the battlefield, you don't know where his body will be left when he gets blown up.
But as soon as you see the number on his neck, you know he's sacrificed.
One of the biggest features of the movie "The Journey Home" is the authenticity and scale of the depiction of the evacuation scene.
From the details of Zong Dawei's line, it is enough for the audience to realize the horror and reality that are difficult to protect themselves in the midst of war and turmoil.
06 A string of five-digit special numbers
Lv Yisong, the plenipotentiary diplomatic ambassador played by Mr. Li Xuejian , mentioned a five-digit number, 12308, in the film. This string of numbers also appears in the end credits. The recurring numbers
are actually the consular protection hotline of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which provides 24-hour hotline service for Chinese citizens. The movie
tells the story of the evacuation of overseas Chinese, and at the same time, it does not forget to publicize the hotline of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in detail, which is really attentive.
This passage also reminds people of the episode "The Lights of the Stars" in the movie.
The stars light up the way home, the stars are the Beidou navigation that Zong Dawei used the satellite phone .
stars can also be a hotline from 12308.
07 Vadir's Last Words
In the movie Vadir is a local figure.
is familiar with the traffic routes and the distribution of villages, and the image of the guide who leads the evacuees forward.
Wadier only spoke Arabic throughout the film, but at the last moment of his life, he spoke two Chinese words: go home.
Before his death, Vadir did not forget his good wish for the evacuation of his compatriots, which turned into obsession at the last moment of his life. The beginning and end of the
08 movie echoes the beginning of the
movie, Zong Dawei and others are driving in a riotous street in a foreign country.
Sometimes there are gunshots, sometimes cannons.
Rage and fighting engulfed the city, and the diplomatic ambassadors felt the turmoil in their throes.
At the end of the movie, a very different scene emerges.
On the way home, the alley was crowded with vehicles and people came and went.
New Year's fireworks sound.
Zong Dawei trembled subconsciously, avoiding the sound of firecrackers and fireworks, and even passing vehicles.
This is a stress response after living in a war-torn country. The
movie also uses this scene to compare the difference between the war-torn country and China.
allows the audience to feel the powerful psychological comfort and the strength and safety of the motherland.
Fireworks and firearms and shells are all things that make noise.
But one is celebrating hard-earned peace, enjoying and cherishing.
The other is to provoke a war that never rests, painful and helpless. The beginning and end of
echo the beginning and end, leaving the audience endless imagination.
