I have watched Hollywood disaster movies for so many years, and this time I finally saw a domestic disaster movie that can compete with Hollywood!
That is the new movie "Burning City" that has just been released.
After watching the movie and walking out of the cinema, I really couldn't calm down for a long time, because this movie is quite amazing in terms of special effects, as well as in the creation of literary and martial arts!
In addition, the rhythm of this movie is also quite awesome!
It can be said that the whole movie takes 2 hours to watch, and you will really lose track of time!
So what are the specific highlights of this movie that make me praise it so much?
please listen to me slowly!
The first point: the subject matter and special effects are amazing!
Let me first talk about the boldness of the subject matter!
Domestic disaster movies before
, especially disaster movies shot in Hong Kong, are usually about natural disasters!
But this "Burning City" appears to be a natural disaster, but in fact it is about a man-made disaster!
And the entry point of this movie is very creative!
talks about the disaster caused by " foreign garbage ". The entry point of
opens up horizons.
With the entry of this "foreign garbage", this movie slowly begins to talk about human nature, officialdom, and the time of choice! It can be said that the movie
is great in terms of concept!
As for the presentation of special effects, this "Burning City" also has many epic special effects shots!
For example, the scene where a helicopter fights a fire, gets caught in the flames, and finally spins in the air until it explodes!
Of course, there is also the epic evacuation shot of the North Ward residents at the end!
and the final explosion footage and so on and so forth.
are all wonderful and amazing!
For a disaster movie, I think the special effects shots of this movie are definitely up to par!
can present that tense apocalyptic disaster atmosphere!
The second point: the rhythm is very interesting!
as a movie that is over 2 hours long!
Why does it make me forget the existence of time when watching this movie?
is actually because the rhythm of the script of this movie is very attractive!
From the beginning of the disaster, the relevant departments were not aware of the danger and were still discussing whether to use water!
A big explosion occurred later, and all departments entered the highest level of rescue status.
began to discuss whether to make it public and whether to evacuate the masses! The whole plot of
is intertwined with each other!
, especially Mok Wenwei, and Andy Lau, really brought out the game of officialdom and the intrigue in officialdom when they were doing "literary drama" in the office!
Of course, this is not the biggest highlight of this movie. The real highlight of this movie is when the expert played by Andy Lau goes to the scene to find the radiation source for the first time!
In this scene, there are many reversals and twists and turns!
Just when everyone thought that the protagonist could take action to bring out the radiation source and solve this disaster!
The radiation source fell first and was caught by the fire captain played by Bai Yu .
Just when they thought the mission was about to end, there was an explosion suddenly, and the remaining bottles fell to the ground, and the mission was declared a failure.
Even the expert played by Andy Lau said there was no hope of saving, and millions of people could only accept their fate.
But at this moment, Bai Yu, the fire captain, saw a group of very large mansions next to him. He once again proposed a plan to blow up the building and cover the radiation source with cement!
It can be said that this progressive reversal, this process of losing hope and rekindling hope again and again, is the best part of this "Burning City"!
Throughout the whole drama, all the audience can be attracted by the actions of the expert played by Andy Lau and the firefighter played by Bai Yu.
Because they are not just putting out a fire, but saving millions of citizens, but protecting their families and children!
's no hesitation, this twists and turns of rescue, is really the rhythm that a disaster movie should have!
The third point: all the actors’ acting skills are outstanding!
Andy Lau’s acting skills needless to say.
This time I mainly want to talk about the acting skills of these two actors!
One is Karen Mok.
Why do you say Karen Mok? One reason is of course that I haven’t seen Karen Mok on the big screen for many years.
I was really surprised when I suddenly saw her acting.
The role played by Mok Wenwei this time is a bit too brilliant.
This time she plays a senior government official, and she is a super boss who is in charge of the overall situation when the chief executive is away!
As soon as she appeared, she gave people a strong sense of oppression!
Of course, what’s even better is her several scenes with Andy Lau later on!
From the moment she entered the door, forcing Andy Lau, an expert, to sign a confidentiality agreement, to later when she made the decision to keep the radiation issue confidential, Karen Mok's entire aura was explosive!
I even forgot that her name was Karen Mok, but she was a real official!
is not only because of her strong aura, but also because of her style, especially the fact that she always warns the expert played by Andy Lau: Don’t engage in officialdom struggles.
is indeed very within the system and very vivid.
So, Karen Mok’s performance this time is indeed a big surprise and I like it very much!
As for another actor who surprised me, Bai Yu.
If I remember correctly, this should be the first time Bai Yu has collaborated with Andy Lau and others.
And Bai Yu’s performance this time is indeed very powerful! There is nothing else to say about
! Just one detail of
, Bai Yu is very impressive!
That was when he drove the excavator, finally brought out his teammates, and finally survived!
But when he heard someone in the cave asking for help!
He got out of the car without hesitation and went to save people.
Just this one move, just this one detail, the fire captain played by Bai Yu deserves to be remembered!
In the end, Bai Yu heard that there was not enough wire to detonate the explosives, so he could only detonate them in a hole in the ground.
He chose to stay without hesitation. In the last shot, he whistled and pressed the explosive.
is definitely the highlight and most tear-jerking moment of this movie!
There are also many great actors, such as Zheng Zeshi, Lin Baoyi , and even Zhang Daming who only made a cameo.

Overall, after watching this movie, it really brought tears to my eyes and made my blood boil!
Whether it is a commercial film or a disaster film, this movie is successful!
If I were to give this movie a personal score, I think it would be at least an 8 or above!
