has just experienced the coldest summer season. I thought that there would be no good movies since school started, but I never expected that turned out to be a dark horse!

This weekend, a special movie was released, and everyone who watched it gave it a five-star rating without hesitation!

Yes, it’s The Sinking of the Lisbon Maru!

I thought it was just a documentary before watching it, but after watching it I realized it was much more than that!

If you have also watched "The Sinking of the Lisbon Maru", you should have the same feeling -

First of all, you are shocked by history!

In 1942, the Japanese armed transport ship Lisbon Maru escorted 1,816 Allied prisoners of war to Japan. Since the Japanese army violated the Geneva Convention and did not fly any flags or signs on the ship for transporting prisoners of war, the Lisbon Maru, equipped with anti-aircraft guns, was regarded as a military vessel by the US military and decisively fired a torpedo, hitting the Lisbon Maru. The Japanese army made an extremely bad and inhumane decision before abandoning the ship - sealing the cabin where prisoners of war were held with wooden planks and heavy objects, and trying to let these prisoners of war sink with the ship in the waters of China's Dongji Island!

The movie unearthed the truth that has not been recognized by the Japanese side and ignored by the international community: the Japanese army not only sealed the cabin, but also fired wildly at the prisoners of war who tried to escape from the cabin, and did not intend to let them go even if they jumped into the sea. . Such a scene really makes people feel desperate. The cruelty of war and the cold-bloodedness of fascism are abhorrent to every peace-loving person!

Next, I was shocked by countless real and true stories!

Although many people are unfamiliar with the movie title "The Sinking of the Lisbon Maru", it actually appeared in the theme song of the same name in Han Han's movie "" as early as 10 years ago.

There is a lyric in "The End of Time" that goes: "When a ship sinks to the bottom of the sea, when a person becomes a mystery." The ship that sank in the lyrics of is actually the Lisbon Maru.

The story of director Fang Li and Lisbon Maru can be traced back to 2014. At that time, he was the producer of "Unexpectedly" and went to Dongji Island with the crew, where the film was shot, and listened to the local crew members on the way. It reminds me of the World War II shipwreck that occurred on Dongji Island more than 70 years ago.

Speaking of this, I really admire Fang Li as an activist. If it were me, I would just sigh with emotion after listening to the story. Who dares to really spend the effort to trace this period of history? Therefore, Lisbon Maru was lucky to meet Fang Li. Someone could finally open up the dusty history!

So this versatile producer who has been working in the geophysics industry for more than 40 years really started looking for the wreckage of the Lisbon Maru in the vast sea, and he actually found it!

Who said that finding a needle in a haystack is just a pipe dream? Isn’t there a person who can successfully find a needle in a haystack?

After that, Fang Li spent a lot of time looking for the descendants of the crew and prisoners of war on the Lisbon Maru at that time. He went to the United Kingdom, Japan, and the United States to conduct detailed interviews with each party in the incident, and collected a large amount of first-hand information. During this process, there were more and more information, the content became more and more detailed, more and more money was spent, and the production cycle of the film also continued to lengthen, and it finally took 8 years to complete.

html Not one second of 28 years was wasted. "The Sinking of the Lisbon Maru" is not like other movies that are full of speculation and interpretation of history. Instead, it is full of photos and images of Allied prisoners of war on the Lisbon Maru, including orphans of the parties involved interviews fill the entire film.

This shooting technique also creates the unique temperament of "The Sinking of the Lisbon Maru". Everyone who has watched it will make a unified evaluation of the movie, that is - real!

After watching the whole movie, everyone can feel the strong emotions.

There are too many tearful stories in the movie. Here I will only tell you one that impressed me the most: a victim on the Lisbon Maru sent a letter home before boarding the ship, but the mailing conditions at the time As a result, there was a delay in the delivery of this letter. It was not until several months after the sinking of the Lisbon Maru that this letter was delivered to the family members. This is equivalent to a letter that spans life and death, between the dead and the living. dialogue. And in the reading aloud by the descendants of the letter writers, we can even hear their nostalgia for their loved ones.

This story uses the plainest language to coat the real events with the brilliance of art. It makes people sigh with emotion when watching the movie, lamenting the impermanence of the world, lamenting the fragility of people, and lamenting that happy days are hard-won.

So "The Sinking of the Lisbon Maru" is real, but it is not cold. On the contrary, it has the warmth that many documentaries lack. This is why many people will say they were moved after watching the movie.

The movie continued to watch, and when the climax came, we were shocked by the Chinese people!

When the prisoners of war were struggling in despair, the Chinese appeared!

The fishermen on the nearby Dongji Island witnessed the sinking of the ship and the slaughter of prisoners of war by the Japanese army. Then, they also made a decision - without hesitation, they rushed into the sea again and again with their simple fishing boats and small sampans, carrying their heads. The Japanese gunfire rescued prisoners of war who fell into the sea, 255 fishermen, and finally rescued 384 people!

The shock and emotion I felt when I saw the fishing boats appearing in the camera lens really fully reflected the kindness in the hearts of the Chinese people!

The unconditional kindness and love of the Chinese fishermen are in sharp contrast to the brutal and ruthless killings of the Japanese army! The Chinese people have been the kindest and most peace-loving people since ancient times!

The section in the movie about the fishermen on Dongji Island spontaneously starting an action to rescue people who fell into the water is also the most touching section. The movie does not use too many shots to tell the story. and suspicion of praise, but Demonstrates the virtues of the Chinese nation to the greatest extent.

The legendary shooting experience is destined to create extraordinary quality. After the film was released, can be said to have zero negative reviews on the entire Internet. Many netizens praised this documentary as a different one. It is real, not deliberately sensational, and also uses ships as the story. The main body has the thickness of Dunkirk and the emotion of Titanic.

The film has also been highly recommended by many stars, during the Shanghai International Film Festival today. , Wang Junkai once strongly recommended this movie to everyone, saying that the movie is very touching, and even said "harsh words" -

September 6 When the film was released in Japan, Wang Junkai once again posted on Weibo to support the film, which can be said to be true love.

In addition to Wang Junkai, Zhu Yilong and studio also sent out invitations to watch the movie on the day of the release.

And he is filming the film "Eastern Island" based on the theme of "The Sinking of Lisbon Maru" in Dongji Island. For this reason, he has also watched the movie in advance. I believe that with the influence of this movie, he will also contribute in the future. Good work.

and Deng Chao also invited 100 friends to watch the movie on the day of release. Good actors support good movies. It is really touching!

This is really the best movie I have seen this year. If there are still people who haven’t seen it, I will really feel sorry. The movie is now in theaters, everyone looks at it!
