Before watching "Chinese Captain", I made up my mind to write an article, not only for the Chinese Captain, but also for the National Day file that is now in full swing.
vaguely remember that in mid-September, "Captain China" had already been screened, and later it was the tour of "The Climber" and the box office pre-sale of "Me and My Motherland" of 250 million yuan. .
Because the party branch was going to watch "The Climber" together after the National Day, I didn't participate in the N free screening events, and only chose "Captain China".
I have a few points to say about this movie.
first in the story. When hears the name of "Captain China", everyone will certainly reflect "Captain Sally" in their minds. The same as "Captain Sally" is that they both talk about a matter of the captain using his experience and perseverance to safely land the plane after an air crash, and the movies are all adapted from real events. But very different is that "Captain Sally" is aimed at Sally, including his mental state before and after. The flashbacks also express his doubts about himself after being investigated and the constant simulation in his mind. If there is no forced precipitation, the situation will occur. At the same time, there are media concerns from various parties and investigations that the Administration believes that he has made mistakes. The "Captain of China" focused more on the reflections of the passengers in the cabin after the crash, and the handling and comfort of the passengers by the flight attendants, and did not show the captain's personal background and personality. The main emphasis is on the display of the completeness of the event and the detailed descriptions that have appeared in news reports, which are shown in detail in the film. According to the news video materials and text materials I have seen, the plot in the movie almost completely reproduces the scene at that time. If there is gain, there will be losses. When the event is complete, the characterization of the individual will appear flat. Looking at it as a whole, it didn't make me remember any character (just want to say why the woc AB is in it, really hot eyes), but a vague impression of the whole. This may also be what the director wants to show-not only show one's achievements, but show the group portrait of the characters. It’s also like what Sally said at the end of “Captain Sally”, “It’s not just me, it’s all of us, it’s Jeff, Donna, Sheila, Doreen, all the passengers, rescuers, air traffic controllers, ferry crew, police The Diving Team...we all did our best to survive."
in ideological propaganda. was beyond my expectation. The time was set in the National Day file, and the name was prefixed with the word "China". I naturally classified it as a movie like "Sky Hunter" (well, I admit I didn’t do any homework before watching it. Even the lead actor was Zhang Hanyu and I only found out when I went to the cinema. I thought there would be some blunt publicity or implantation, but after watching it, I found that there was none, just deal with the injured co-pilot at the end At that time, it was a little overdone, and the performance was not very real. After a person has been hanging outside the cabin at an altitude of 10,000 meters, the temperature is more than minus 40 degrees, the hands are purple, and the face is swollen, not only does not the medical staff come. During the medical examination, I was still asking "whether I need a stretcher or not", which was a bit contrary to the conventional moral spirit. I also inquired about the news about the 3U8633 flight in Sichuan. The news also gave few descriptions of the co-pilot. Among them, the co-pilot in front of the hospital bed said that he was inconvenient to disclose the situation at the time and needed to wait for the official investigation results. ; And the second captain said in an interview on CCTV’s “face to face” program that after returning to the pilot’s seat from outside the cabin, the co-pilot is mainly responsible for sending the 7700 signal, and he needs to press this button every other time. . Therefore, it can be seen that although the co-pilot's physical injury is not fatal, his spirit must have been severely hit. I think that in reality, the mental injuries suffered by the crew members at that time were far greater than their physical injuries. However, neither in the film nor in the follow-up news reports, the trauma part of their mentality was not described or reported too much. I think this approach, on the one hand, because the mental damage is invisible and difficult to show; on the other hand, the entire incident and the crew members are promoted as "heroes", so "negative" news cannot be reported; or, it is them. There is no psychological harm. I think this is very unlikely, because anyone will have the experience of being bitten by a snake for ten years and fearing ropes, not to mention this is an air crash.. Moreover, in the "face-to-face", Captain Liu Chuanjian also mentioned that the aviation doctor will guide and evaluate them before allowing them to continue flying into the sky.
Secondly, the better place to deal with is that after landing, the staff of the bureau checked on the machine and only used the words "you are really bull", which not only added some humorous elements, but also did not see the Red Army like the folks. After that, the "fanatic" and the performance of success. A more true reflection of the feeling of lingering heart after the catastrophe. Less is More.
Furthermore, in "The Captain of China", although in some respects the audience is still afraid that the audience will not understand, the matter is too "white", but there are not too many expressions in terms of values and ideology, instead of it. It uses a more mature method to guide the audience to identify with the values conveyed by the film. And it conveys a universal value that is universal-fearing duties, fearing rules, and fearing life. Today, when the mainstream values have changed, the blunt transmission is no longer acceptable. The requirements and connotation of the main melody also change with the changes of the times. Once the transmission of ideology is discovered by the audience, it loses its function. Therefore, a kind of "depoliticized politics" is formed in our present. Just like the official accounts of CCTV News and the Ministry of Public Security that appear in current new media such as Douyin and Weibo. As they adapt to the times, they are also changing the times.
talk about rhythm. The rhythm of "Chinese Captain" can be regarded as the rhythm of a standard commercial film. At the beginning of the movie 20 minutes, the plane took off. Before that, it was a pavement for the character and life background. At 35 minutes, it entered the first climax: the glass broke; the second one came at 1 hour and 05 minutes. Climax: The plane will fly into the clouds-this is something that has not happened in news events. It is added to increase the ups and downs of the movie's plot. The addition of such content not only increases the tension of the audience, but also increases the viewing of the movie. Sexuality set setbacks for the plot; the plane made a forced landing in 1 hour and 20 minutes, and all personnel were saved. Rhythm setting can be said to have tension and relaxation, abrupt and slow. I did not feel out of breath for a long time while watching, nor did I feel bored when I wanted to play on my mobile phone. In addition, the various identities of passengers in this "Chinese Captain" perfectly demonstrate political correctness. Just like in American movies, there must be a balance of black skin. Moreover, in "Captain Sally", a lot of shots were given to the black people inadvertently and inadvertently. Very good rhythm control, good special effects design (I personally think that the special effects of the cloud layer are still a bit stiff, but the whole movie is already good), the variety of characters... We can already see several aspects. Out, the typification of Chinese films has progressed.
PS: In the movie, there is a detail that I don’t know whether the director did it deliberately or unintentionally. All the "mobile phone" brands that appear in the movie are all Huawei, and only the mobile phone used by AB is an old iPhone. Watching in the cinema, there is no way to replay it, and I am not sure whether my observation is correct. If so, what is the director's intention? Fat friends who have different opinions can say it~ In addition, I am really tired of AB
PPS: The director of the movie is Liu Weiqiang. Starting from the "Building an Army" in the "Three Constructions", Liu Weiqiang began to get involved in this " "New mainstream military film", ("Chinese Captain" is considered a new mainstream military film). In "Chinese Captain", I did not see some of the styles used by director Liu Weiqiang before. This is also the director's breakthrough for himself.
