Shamon , Lin Shan directed it, and Gao Baocheng , Xu Linge, Liu Yuru, etc. starred. The

movie carefully edited and expressed the battle process and battle story, and brought out this majestic battle truly.

The movie "Shangganling"

It is worth mentioning that the movie "Shangganling" has reached the pinnacle in terms of the actor's military professionalism, the restoration of the battlefield environment, and the production of props, especially compared with the same type of films released in recent years.

Broken steel helmet guns, mine bomb fragments, kettle lunch box fragments, blasted into limestone powder by artillery fire, etc. These are all must-haves in modern battlefields, and their existence greatly enhances the authenticity and harshness of the film.

The movie "Shangganling"

One of the most important points is that the director Shamon invited Zhao Maochen, an active soldier who participated in the battle of Shangganling, as a military adviser.

However, as a witness of the battle, Zhao Maochen initially couldn't get used to the "enthusiasm" of these literary and art workers, and thought they were unreal.

For example, in addition to showing the tragic war, the film also added some scenes such as catching squirrels in the tunnel.

movie "Shangganling" For example, there are female hygienists in the tunnels, but in fact only the first-level field hospitals have female nurses and female hygienists.

Director Shamon patiently explained to him: catching squirrels expresses the spirit of revolutionary optimism.

There are female hygienists in the film, which is to show respect for women. It can be filmed as a female hygienist going down to the position to check the hygiene. It happened that the battle started, so she could not go down and had to stay in the tunnel. Director

Shamon's explanation made Zhao Maochen understand that filmmaking requires artistic processing.

But after the film was released, General Wang Jinshan, who was in command of the Shangganling battle, watched it for ten minutes and left with tears in his eyes...

He said that in the real Shangganling battle, the performance in the movie was a continuous percentage Not one of them.

The Battle of Shangganling is known as the "meat grinder".

On a position of about 3.7 square kilometers, the Volunteer Army fought against 100,000 people from the United States and South Korea for 43 days.

In this battle, a number of heroes such as Huang Jiguang, Zhang Ruichen, Sun Zhanyuan emerged among the volunteers. The

movie "Shangganling" really touched the Chinese audience of that era, especially the episode "My Motherland", which has been sung to this day.

In recent years, has "lifted the ban" on film and television creations with the theme of resisting U.S. aggression and aiding Korea, and films such as " Changjin Lake " have shined brightly.

"Changjin Lake"

2023 is the 70th anniversary of the victory of the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea, and a movie "Blood Battle of Shangganling" created with the theme of "Battle of Shangganling" has entered the audience's attention, further enriching the film of the theme of Resisting America and Aid Korea!

It is reported that "Blood Battle on Ganling" was cast by Bona Films , which produced the movie "Changjin Lake", with an initial investment of more than 250 million. The production specifications of

are comparable to those of "Changjin"Lake", inviting the best domestic teams to participate in the production.

Chen Kaige

and the director is most likely Chen Kaige, Tsui Hark and others who have directed the movie "Changjin Lake".

At the same time, the TV series "Blood Battle on Ganling" has also been launched. The play will show the Battle of Shangganling in a panoramic view, reproducing the patriotic feelings of volunteer soldiers who are not afraid of hardships and dangers and are not afraid of sacrifice.

"Blood Battle on Shangganling"

It is reported that the drama version of "Blood Battle on Shangganling" invited the Military History Research Department of the Academy of Military Sciences, the Central Party School, and the descendants of the volunteers who participated in the Shangganling campaign as military consultants.

Of course, compared with the old movie "Shangganling" and other works, there are still big problems in the film and television creation of the Korean War in recent years!

For example, the movie "Changjin Lake" did not show the question of where the volunteer army's combat effectiveness, fighting consciousness and fighting will come from, nor did it show where the "superiority of the people's army" was reflected!

"Changjin Lake"

's characters are also American-style. For example, the character played by Yi Yang Qianxi is a rebellious young man who is not disciplined but can grow into a fighting hero.

This is precisely the suspicion of smearing the volunteers!

In the final analysis, Chen Kaige's generation of directors lacks the ability to control the film and television themed on the theme of resisting U.S. aggression and aid Korea, but there is a saying that "there are no heroes, so Shuzi became famous", and now it seems that it can only be like this!
