The staff of the film built a building covering an area of 200 acres with bricks and tiles. Not only did they manually excavate a new Suzhou River, but they also constructed 1:1 real-life buildings on both sides of the river
. During the filming, the demolition site in Baisha, Ningbo was set as the scene of the Battle of Songhu. In pursuit of reality, the crew spent a year and a half in the Huayi Brothers Movie Worldshooting base to design and build a 200-acre site with 68 buildings, and dug the 200-meter-long Suzhou River to restore the war on both sides of the river. The "hell" of the sky and the "heaven" of the sensual neon. The entire film used 300 flares to reproduce the lighting effects on the battlefield of the Battle of Songhu. A total of more than 300 kilograms of e-liquid and nearly 5 tons of old newspapers were burned, creating a real battlefield filled with gunpowder smoke and artillery fire. In order to present the best visual effects, ensure the realism of the picture and highlight the aesthetic value, Cao Yu, the director of photography, set up more than 2,000 lamps on the set to match different shots

I was fortunate enough to watch the original version. At that time, the epidemic had not yet appeared, and the world was still the same as it was, but the storm soon hit - the epidemic and public opinion, which delayed the film for a long time. The shocking part of "Eight Hundred" is that it does not deliberately express shock but achieves a deafening effect. It writes majesty with restraint, courage with timidity, tragic and solemn with fear, and no hesitation with overwhelm. There were ruffians, bastards, and oily soldiers among those soldiers, but in the end they all became fighters. That group of people guards a universal human spirit, which is about dignity and meaning. In fact, it has long surpassed political factions. Under such a universal spiritual inspiration, the colors and patterns of the guardian flag should not be discussed at all. The point is, if we have to discuss the flag, then what they are protecting is the flag of human dignity. What we see in the smoke of life and death should be people one by one, concrete fears and hopes, and should not be abstracted into a faction symbol. "Eight Hundred" is absolutely important in Chinese war films. Regardless of technology or awareness, the discussions outside the film that it triggers will also become footnotes and manuscripts of time.

How to say, no matter what kind of expectations you have to watch this movie, you will feel that you still owe it a little. It's a bit unwilling to give it a high score, and I can't bear to give it a bad review, a "hard labor" movie.
