on the one hand is the film’s impressive box office performance, on the other hand it is the extensive discussion caused by the film.
was finished as early as 2018. After a series of operations such as file withdrawal, deletion, and director, the film has been controversial since its birth.
After the large-scale release, more people joined the discussion camp, except for the loopholes in the film plot, the weakness of the second half, and the excessive sensationalism. In particular, many people’s views on "movie adaptation" and "historical truth" and "heroes" Questions such as "historical outlook replacing people's historical outlook" are getting louder.
Seeing that everyone was arguing, Chenchen couldn't help feeling complicated, so I wanted to use this article to talk about my true feelings.
Regarding "Eight Hundred", an obvious fact is that even in the case of limited seating, everyone still maintains a high degree of enthusiasm for it.
Why is "Eight Hundred" so hot? The four words
-look good and cry.
First, behind the "good-looking" is the high industrial standard of the film.
Speaking of good-looking Chinese war movies, which one do you think of?
Many people who are far away may think of the classic "red movies" such as "Tunnel Warfare" "The Garland under the Mountain" "Blood Battle at Taierzhuang";
may be closer to "Assembly Number" "Jinling Thirteen Paces"...
It is said that since the millennium, there have been too few good movies about the history of China's modern and modern warfare, and there are very few examples that can be cited-
and after "Eight Hundred", we can finally cite an example. Behind the simple word "good-looking"
is the division of labor and cooperation of various departments behind the scenes of the whole film, each performing its own duties, making it more professional.
In order to make the four-row warehouse more realistic, the crew built a 200-acre building brick by brick, dug a 200-meter-long Suzhou River, and restored the buildings on both sides 1:1;
was the first full film in Asia to use IMAX cameras. For the commercial film shot, the photography came from "Kekexili" and "Nanjing! "Nanjing" photographer Cao Yu, by reducing the color saturation, highlighting green, blue, yellow, and black, presents a modernist painting style;
Art Director Lin Mu Design did it before repainting all the buildings on the South Bank. Hundreds of swatches, just to prevent the camera from having color errors when shooting;
, in order to maintain the uniform style of the entire picture, the Service Department tested the color of the actor’s clothing and makeup color number one by one;
took the end to look small For one of the flares, because China has not produced flares of that period for a long time, there are only less than 200 left in the country. Each is 10,000 yuan and burns for 2 minutes and 50 seconds. It can be difficult in snowy weather. As you can imagine...
photography, art, props, costumes, and even special effects, the details of the various departments are deadlocked, the big scene has not fallen, and the small details have not been overlooked.
Therefore, we can see the rain of bullets and bullets inside and outside the four warehouses in the film, and the hustle and bustle of the streets on the other side.Created the image quality of the film.
It can be said that an investment of 500 million yuan is not a waste of money.
From this perspective, the significance of 's "Yabai" to the industrial level of Chinese genre films is indelible.
Second, “good crying” arouses the most simple and universal national emotional resonance.
Here is Chenchen himself. After the announcement of the movie fans, my expectations before watching the movie were not high. It seems that the film "Singing to the National Army" has been qualitative.
However, in the process of watching the movie, Chenchen shed three tears for it. For the first time,
was moved by the spirit of the heroes of the War of Resistance to sacrifice for the country.
To say that the most tear-jerking thing in the film is that the soldiers of Chen Shusheng regard themselves as human bombs. They say "children are not filial" before they die...
At the moment of national peril, they put the "big self" Above the "personal ego", Chen Shusheng, who is indeed a man in history, is more convincing than anything else.
For those of us who have not gone through war and were born in a peaceful age, "Yu Bai" has broken through various historical nihilism barriers and aroused our most simple patriotic feelings.
No matter what the surname, we are all Chinese.
This is the most important reason why this movie has conquered many audiences.
for the second time, crying for the little people who only seek self-protection in troubled times.
As the director Guanhu said:
I am not concerned about the battle, but the people in the battle, ordinary individuals.
Jiang Wu's "geeky melon counselor" old iron, big, rat-like courage, completely unsatisfied-
and this kind of unsatisfactory reality is too substitutable.
Ou Hao plays the Dragon Boat Festival. He holds a gun against the head of a Japanese soldier. Although he does not want to kill, the scene of his uncle being tortured and killed by the Japanese army emerges in front of him. He pulls the trigger while yelling-what can be better than
Is war even more crazy?
, especially the old abacus played by Zhang Yi, who kept saying "will not kill", was discovered by Ou Hao when he was about to run in disguise, and said something from his heart:
, do you have a home? Do you have land at home? Did you ask your wife? When I was in my hometown, they booked me a marriage. They told me that my wife is silly, and I haven't seen it...
I can't be a hero, I'm a scumbag, I'm an egg...
face The old abacus, wimpy, frustrated, and confessional, pitiful, sad, and hateful, couldn't help but look at himself, causing the audience in front of the screen to shed tears of complex emotions like Ouhao.
is also the movie that made Zhang Yi the sixth Chinese actor with a box office of more than 10 billion in after , Wu Jing, Huang Bo, Du Jiang, Shen Teng, and Deng Chao. For the third time,
was worried because of the Chinese nation being bullied in modern times.
The modern history and modern history of China is a history of resistance and struggle, as well as a history of humiliation. The former celestial kingdom was blackmailed by many powers in turn, the turbulent powers were bullied by bullets, and the crushed military equipment and the people who had "changed the emperor" were retreating and ruined.
In the film, whether the soldiers face the Japanese encirclement and suppression, "too bully" and fight for their lives, or the professor standing on the other side looks at the national army who was shot and said "too bully" and took it out. Home gun assists.
was fought in this battle, and it made people want to cry.
Being stubborn is also a kind of strength, a kind of tenacity that is unwilling to give in, gritted the teeth to fight for a breath-
ran forward with tears. There is an impressive scene in the film
. When the Japanese army attacked the four-row warehouse, they were caught in the trap of the national army and came a "catching turtle in the urn". However, the film only showed the audience from the outer perspective of the Dragon Boat Festival without showing specific details to the audience. The full picture of tactics.
Just like the director Glenn Boswell, who is in charge of the war scenes guidance, is not used to how Guanhu is different from the narratives of Hollywood war genres-
can be said to be , whether it is a scattered group of characters or riding a white horse Zhao Zilong, "Eight Hundreds" brings a bit of stubbornness in the genre narrative.
As mentioned at the beginning, the plot setting, rhythm control, and excessive sensational problems of the film can be found by everyone, and there are too many historical studies and many people have detailed analysis.
After over-rational analysis of the film’s gains and losses, we seem to have forgotten the most direct physiological feelings this film brings to moviegoers-
The tears we shed are not fake.
Faced with the current situation, the objective cohesion it produces is also a force that cannot be ignored.
Before the movie, how many people knew the story of the "eight hundred heroes"?
Anyway, it is basically in line with historical facts.
does not want to push "Yaobai" to the altar, but also does not want to deny its efforts entirely.
