In the selection of materials, the small sees the big, and the unique perspective enhances the appeal. The main focus of the film is more on the 32 years after the earthquake. The tortuous development and intersection of the two main lines run through, leading the audience to feel sad and happy.
The most memorable thing is Xu Fan's excellent acting, which greatly enhanced the tension of the whole film. Yuan Ni, as the core character, determines the development of the whole plot and runs through it. And Xu Fan's performance fully supports this important role, every move, even a Tangshan dialect is convincing! In addition, as a supporting character, Chen Daoming's image of a loving father is also very vivid. It seems like I haven't seen him in this type of role for a long time.
In addition to the main line, the design of many details can also be seen ingenious: the echoes before and after the Tangshan and Wenchuan earthquakes are not only another emotional shock, but also explain the development of the main line plot; Small details such as the death of the chairman, the college entrance examination, going to sea to do business, and getting laid off and re-employment also aroused many people's memories of the social changes in the past 32 years.
Although the film inevitably has some flaws, such as the timing of "Into a New Era", or Zhang Jingchu's 40-year-old appearance is too young. But it doesn't needlessly affect the five-star review of this film!
