Dafei score: 7 points
movie viewing suggestion: is worth Take a look at
Advantages of the movie:
is the first domestic movie to show the overseas evacuation of diplomatic officials, and the completion of " The Return of the Thousand Miles " is still good. In particular, knowing that the film has only a cycle of 3 and 4 months from the start of shooting to its release, and it can still have such an effect as it is today, the degree of completion should be said to be quite good.
The photography and art are a highlight of the whole film . At first, Da Fei thought that the film was really going to Africa or somewhere in the Middle East, because the scenes and props in it were too realistic. After watching the behind-the-scenes production footage, I realized that these exotic scenes were built on the at 1:1 in China. I have to say that the art team's ability to set the scene is first-class.
The cinematography of this film is also very prominent. The depiction of the war scene and the presentation of the evacuation scene are impressive, and the lighting and color grading are very immersive.
Speaking of this, we have to mention director Rao Xiaozhi 's scene scheduling ability . The production of such a large scene not only involves a large number of scene transitions, but also the number of Chinese and foreign actors who appear on the scene is also very large, and the requirements for the director are still very high. It can be said that Rao Xiaozhi still showed a strong strength in the scene scheduling.
The new Golden Rooster actor Zhang Yi's performance in the film is definitely another highlight of the film . Although the strength of actor Zhang Yi has been experienced many times, he still brings surprises to Da Fei in this new film.
At the end of the film, in the roulette-style shot at his head, Zhang Yi shot three times and performed three levels, each of which had obvious changes in emotions and expressions. Just relying on his performance in this scene, is enough to win him another actor title .
It is worth mentioning that, as a main theme film, the subject matter of this film is easily reminiscent of 's "Wolf Warrior 2" , which also involves 's evacuation of overseas Chinese . Although it is unavoidable, there are still scenes such as raising the flag, holding the passport and shouting slogans, but there is not much preaching. Compared with "Wolf Warrior 2", "The Journey Home" is still relatively emotional Restrain .
Although the hot scene of this film is far less than that of "Wolf Warrior 2", the film adds some detailed depictions of local people in conflict areas, which can make people more empathy with ordinary people in foreign countries who have suffered from war. . This kind of humanistic care that crosses national borders is also the more valuable part of this film.
Disadvantages of the film:
In this film, in addition to "Wolf Warrior 2", you can also see the shadow of many other movies. The most recent are the popular Korean hits last year, " Mogadishu " , which also involves the theme of overseas evacuation, and Hollywood 's classic anti-war film, which also staged a roulette-style suicide in the film. Fighting Games' "Deer Hunter" .
It's just that although "Homecoming" has achieved a considerable level at the industrial level, at the artistic level, it still fails to go further. This also leads to the fact that although the film has room to play, it still does not show enough depth.
has the director's factor and the environment. But fortunately, at least in this film, you can still see that the director has some ideas.
