How should we evaluate an anti-epidemic movie about a worldwide disaster?

Humanitarianism is a principle that disaster films have always adhered to, but should the audience be moved by the great love shown in the film?

From the perspective of creative skills and realistic aesthetics, the quality of the film and the audience's acceptance are affected by both the director and the audience. The director creates the film based on his creative experience and the film and television team, and the audience accepts and examines the film in front of him based on his life experience. If the director fully understands the anti-epidemic experience during the epidemic, the authenticity of the work may resonate with the audience. Based on the current trend of stereotyped main theme creation experience (with small people as the main body, telling about civilian heroes in life; with emotional people, about small people’s joys, sorrows and sorrows, and the characteristics of diverse personalities; government roles relegated to the back of the screen, as a way to control the overall situation The background status; moving the audience in the details), is not ashamed by the audience who have experienced that period of suffering history or have a keen thinking ability.

" Chinese doctor " is another new work of the main swirl film for national awareness education. The previous article mentioned several basic principles that are currently followed in the creation of main theme movies in my country. , the development experience from now on can make it easier to understand the progress of the evolution of the theme film creation and the existing room for improvement.

After the founding of the People's Republic of China and before the reform and opening up (1949-1978), it was a simple and implanted creation. At this stage, the content of the film was mostly based on collectivistic workers and peasants. Realistic beauty, representative works include "Heroes and Children" and so on.

After the reform and opening up to the end of the 1990s (1979-1999), it was a creation under the guidance of national policies. At this stage, under the trend of reform and opening up, my country's films were constantly in line with artistic commercialization. The state adopted a series of policies and conference guidance. The development of Chinese films emphasizes speeding up the creation of major revolutionary and historical films, learning from foreign excellent experience in creation techniques, and innovating in narrative techniques and audio-visual means, such as " Founding Ceremony " and "Kong Fansen".

Since 2000, Chinese themed films have been increasingly influenced by the market, and they are more modern in terms of creative principles and audio-visual performance, such as telling about the glorious dedication of ordinary people, and combining acceptance aesthetics with the principles of patriotism. Created " me and my motherland " which resonated with the audience emotionally, and used modern technology to emphasize the audio-visual spectacle of "Wolf Warrior 2".

has mastered the evolution of my country's main theme films in the longitudinal direction of time, and then analyzing "Chinese Doctor" can clearly see the main theme film creation experience it follows. Of course it is telling the story of ordinary people, the government discourse is relegated to the back of the screen, and it is also trying to depict the details, but the depiction of the details in this film is disappointing, but it is precisely the details that can best present the film. A place of authenticity.

In the face of suffering, everyone is sad. Even if they have different personalities, they will have a cautious attitude in the face of universal disasters. In the film, the aid doctor played by Zhu Yawen appears with a proud image. In the face of the lack of hospital hardware and the work of some medical staff showing disgust, although the appearance of a person's state is due to the environment and personal character, the doctor he plays here does not make people feel that he has a heart for the epidemic. His fears, as well as the lack of detail in his reconciliation with the Dean in the latter paragraph, failed to make the audience's impression noticeably better. Similar to

, ​​after reviewing the relevant short review articles, most of them criticized the film for lack of authenticity. For example, the director's wife is wearing a silk scarf at home, and she is still dressed delicately even if she is infected with the virus; multiple doctors help a patient at the same time; As far as borrowing, the formation of this type of film experience is closely related to the audience's life, that is, film appreciation is creative.

The film tells the entire development of the incident in chronological order. The life-like Wuhan at the beginning is in sharp contrast with the heart-wrenching plot afterward. In the first half, the current situation of the epidemic was spread out in a waving manner, the fear and helplessness of the people, the sense of responsibility of medical staff under heavy anxiety, and the actions taken by the country to fight the epidemic. second halfSome of them use points to represent the surface, and select typical cases to specifically show the suffering caused by the new crown epidemic to patients and the desire, courage and love for life presented in it. At the end of the film is a relatively happy ending. Xiaowen's family of three, Xiao Yang and the dean's wife finally survived the disease. They walked around the world with their families and enjoyed the peace provided by each other's company.

returns to the title, how should we evaluate an anti-epidemic movie about a worldwide disaster?

In terms of theme content, the film, like most works that promote mainstream values, promotes bravery and love with specific cases... But in terms of creation, the delicate sincerity of details may disappoint the audience.

Last year, my country released many works related to protests, such as "The World", "Together", etc. Whether it is a documentary, a TV series or a movie, the themes expressed are the same, but the presentation of the content makes the audience different. How do we feel, in such films, do we expect to see our favorite movie stars on the screen, obviously not, after went through that period of isolation up and down the country, what we want to know is the reality in the distance The stories, the joys of the people there, the personal feelings of the patients, and what the doctors, food delivery workers and other industries have experienced.

Everyone's story is real and vivid. Although the plot must be conceived according to the principle of typification as a work of art, if the same plot is presented to the audience, how can the vividness of real life be reflected?

What makes people painful is not only the love of life and death, but also the sacrifice of life and death, life is so rich and complex, Everyone is so different, we have a lot of curiosity .

In what way is everyone paying attention to the changes in the epidemic? What is the attitude of the government/people in urban and rural areas towards the epidemic? Under the epidemic, what did film and television workers do for this? What is the current situation of the epidemic at home and abroad, and what actions are you still taking? How are the recovered new crown people living now, and how will the pain affect their future lives?

We pursue bravery and love, but we also look forward to being moved by sincere and delicate works. The creative principle of observing life with heart and treating cases with equal respect should be in the heart of the creator. On the contrary, although the main theme works in recent years have made historical progress compared with the past, the patternization and conceptualization of the works in the new creative stage are more and more prominent, boring and uninteresting.

Film and television creation is not only to complete the creative task, but also to truly face the pair of history and feel the sorrow and joy of people. When the director is moved by the film he has created, I believe it will also earn the audience's attention. tears.
