Similarities and Differences between "Eight Hundred" and "Eight Hundred Heroes"

epidemic is definitely "Yai Hundred", which has been in theaters for several days, and the box office results are relatively optimistic, becoming a rescue work to save the film market. "Yaobai" tells the true story that happened in 1937: 800 fighters who obeyed the Kuomintang tried their best to resist the Japanese attack at the Sixing warehouse in Suzhou. Regarding this story, in fact, as early as 1975, an old movie called "Eight Hundred Heroes" had been filmed on this theme, so many netizens would compare "Eight Hundred Heroes" with "Eight Hundred Heroes". Since the two films are both based on the same subject, there are naturally many similarities, and of course there are also differences. The two works of

are taken from the Four Line Warehouse Defense War. After watching the two films, you will find that they have three common climax points: the first similarity is the human flesh bomb, both in the new version and the old version. The scene of the human flesh bomb, but the new version focuses more on the scene of the human flesh bomb. The shouts of the soldiers before their sacrifice will bring a powerful shock to the audience. The second point in common is the scenes of flag raising and flag protection. The old version rendered the flag more and gave a lot of close-up shots of the blue sky and white flag. In the new version, the flag is blurred, but the atmosphere when raising the flag and protecting the flag is particularly well rendered. The third common point is cover and retreat. Because this is true history, the film cannot change the ending. The old version depicts the retreat as helpless, while the new version focuses more on explaining the reason and rationality of the retreat. After understanding the common points, let's take a look at the differences between the two films:

First, the themes of the two works are different. The theme of the new version is the Chinese spirit, while the theme of the old version is the Republic of China. The new edition pays more attention to the fearless spirit of the Chinese people, and wants to express a kind of selfless patriotism to the audience. The old version's political inclination is particularly obvious. The film is more about the political power of the Republic of China, which can be seen from the close-up of the blue sky and white flag when the flag is raised and protected. Then there are the protagonists. In "Eight Hundred Heroes", the protagonists are the leader Xie Jinyuan and the boy scout representative Yang Huimin, but in "Eight Hundred", the protagonists are not Xie Jinyuan and Yang Huimin, but a group of Kuomintang soldiers. With the development of the movie's plot, these little soldiers have changed from being greedy for life and fearing death into strong men who are not afraid of life and death. While watching the film, we also witnessed their growth. In comparison, the new version is actually more clever in its small-scale approach.

The cast of "Eight Hundred" is also very exciting. There are a series of powerful actors such as Ou Hao, Li Chen, Yu Haoming, Zhang Yi, and Wei Chen, who rarely shoots, although Wei Chen has not many film and television works. , But the acting skills in "Eight Hundreds" are particularly excellent, showing the characters vividly. "Eight Hundred" is a work worth seeing. Compared with "Eight Hundred Heroes" in 1975, you will find "Eight Hundred" is more meaningful and exciting.
