(Spoiler Alert! The following content has a small part of the plot leaked, which may affect the viewing)

"Little Soldier" is an absolutely correct film. Moreover, a small country can turn fighting into a jade silk, regard peace as the most precious thing, and avoid being overwhelmed. These are all in line with current social themes. It is a little regrettable that Zhang Yimou took the lead in issuing a declaration in 2002, with mixed reputations. Focusing on the two things of country and home, the film adds referential political appeals. Jackie Chan's character supported the family with one hand, and the two brothers above died in battle. He remembered the teachings of his old father in his heart, so he could go home to farm if he didn't fight. The ignorance of the petty peasant in him made him ignorant of current affairs, thinking that after this battle, he would not have the next battle if he captured the opponent's generals. Fortunately, this hope was realized through the actions of another person. That person is Wang Leehom's role, he is full of the country with all his heart, he is both a high-ranking prince and a general who leads the war. He refused to admit defeat, and even looked down on the little people, hoping to reinvigorate Wei's power. As a result, the high-ranking general fell into the hands of the enemy deserter, who was too small to be mentioned, and made it difficult to tease him as a prisoner from time to time.

Analyzing only from the title of the movie, one big and one small, there is no natural balance between the focus of the director’s statement. In terms of size, it also refers to the experienced veterans and the young and vigorous generals. Later, the veteran tried to rescue him several times, and finally moved the general, and the two sides reached an agreement in the future. Maybe someone will analyze from Jackie Chan himself that the reason why Dabing is big is because of his high attention and the box office appeal. Compared with the "Shinjuku Incident" which was discarded by one hand, Jackie Chan lost his Chinese identity and died in a foreign land. With the help of "Little Soldier", Jackie Chan has recovered his identity. Even if he is a grassroots, he has a powerful nation behind him. In "October Besieged City", Shuang Chen has no country to love, and they use a way that is close to the main theme to call for the arrival of a savior. Of course, "Little Soldier" is far less tragic than the two films mentioned above. On the contrary, the story always progresses in a relaxed and humorous atmosphere, and it shows some frustration until the end.

In "Little Soldier", Jackie Chan reverted to his previous slapstick comedy style, and the action scenes are dominated by small fights full of fun and skill. This is certainly related to role constraints, he can no longer have martial arts and superior skills, he is just a deserter with rich experience pretending to be dead, who can get his life back from the dead. Moreover, time is not forgiving, Jackie Chan can still climb trees and roll, but the changes on his body are irreversible. The most impressive episodes include the fight in the cabin, Jackie Chan and Leehom Wang compete again, grab weapons, and you push me to block. These seem to reproduce the good times of shooting in the studio in the past. The funny thing is that this is actually just a dream. Jackie Chan couldn't beat Wang Leehom in the middle, so he went to touch people's wounds, and the tricks of calling them one by one were also very spoof. When he was fighting the gang, Jackie Chan went around picking up rocks and breaking rocks to hit people. These things can completely see the old style.

If you count the small organs in the arrow and Wang Baoqiang's true cameo, there are indeed many places in "Little Soldier" where the family can gather together, and being ugly and funny can completely drive the atmosphere. Unfortunately, due to the guiding ideology of the theme first, Jackie Chan and Leehom Wang inevitably talked about the little people. This time, all the things that need the audience to understand by themselves are spoken through the mouths of the characters. It is susceptible to preaching and verbose. There are endless fields of rape blossoms, birds with no nests and weak women who haunt them. All these mixed things interrupt the continuity of the film's fight and humor to varying degrees.

The most interesting part of the film takes place in the gang stationed area. At that time, both soldiers and generals were slaves, and the scholars and vagrants were also mixed in. The guards of the little prince of Weiguo arrived and confronted the gang. The three parties had their own minds, and eventually turned into a big melee, with heavy losses to each other. At the climax of the battle, Jackie Chan rides a big water buffalo into the wall to save the opponent from danger, which is uncontrollable. This paragraph is intertwined, there are tensions and relaxation, and it is really well-planned. On the contrary, in the cave drama where the grievances and grievances were settled later, a few supporting characters died unclearly, so it felt a little bit overwhelming, and it was too sloppy to deal with.

Kako would scold the war deserved, and the pedantic who didn't show up for a few moments became the target of ridicule. The gang is uncivilized and fights bravely, but in the end they still know that they are wronged. This turbulent world is always crying for the arrival of the end, and their abilities cannot save the people of the world. Dabing didn't understand, he still didn't want Liang Guo's banner to fall. The young general understood, and after returning to his position, he took the initiative to ask for peace. Really understand or fake, there is no sensible person in this movie, because the sensible person hides behind the scenes.

A stable home needs a strong and peaceful country behind it. Intuitively speaking, if you put aside the keywords of family, country and peace, the selling point of "Little Soldier" is outstanding, even if it is only considered as an action comedy, it is more natural and smooth than previous films such as "Rye Field". This type of character will not be pretentious, and amused the audience. However, several films simultaneously send out anti-war signals, which has become a kind of collective thinking and a peculiar phenomenon. What we need to figure out is who is thinking about this kind of story, the little person or the other party... [Sina]

PS. Title Excerpt from Jackie Chan sang the "national" lyrics, in fact, I do not know what it means, just think appropriate, after reading so perhaps you will feel

"a mouth-Chinese tile roof married a
say in fact a great country home

as one country single-handedly propped up the house filled with
family is the smallest country national is ten million

country in the world in the world of home
with a strong rich countries have

lived in the country and the country stands at the heart of the home "

    Jackie Chan is now worth looking forward to small-scale movies.
