1. This film is a Lunar New Year commercial film, and it is a success as a commercial film. We should not use the standards of literary films to demand commercial films. Under the film censorship system, if you can shoot to this level, you will win multiple times. Reform is always gradual. Some standards of this film have already broken through, and the speed of progress is slow. Some, but ultimately go in the right direction.
2. In 1997, Feng Xiaogang's first Chinese New Year film "Party A and Party B" was released. Ten years later, in 2007, Feng Xiaogang's "Assembly" was a reference to Chinese New Year films and commercial films outside the story of little people. A new direction—the main theme blockbuster, which Feng Xiaogang himself shot "Tangshan Earthquake" (2010) and "1942" (2012) both continue this idea. "Wolf Warrior 2" (Wu Jing 2017), 10 years after the release of this film, has reached a new climax of the main theme commercial blockbuster. Feng Xiaogang has always had a prescient sense of the direction of mainland Chinese commercials. The main theme of the film can not only tell the story of greatness, but also discover new things. This film is a good story with rich characters.
3. Gu Zidi’s venting in front of Liu’s tomb is a bit too much, because even if the assembly horn is not sounded, it is normal for soldiers to obey orders, and sacrifice at any time is the mental preparation of every soldier, and Gu Zidi should not complain about the regiment. long. If you choose to dig out your comrades in the coal mine in Guzidi when the emotional repression erupts, the restrained venting at that moment should be even more touching. Actor Deng Chao's role should be replaced by a more masculine actor, and it would be good for Li Chen and Deng Chao to swap in the film. I don't think Sun Guiqin's widow role should be added. The addition of emotional scenes doesn't make the film better, but instead distracts the precious moments. There are also brave soldiers in the national army. This film does not make the national army look like a cripple, and the beginning of the game is quite organized. Better to be a prisoner. Moreover, when shooting the prisoners, everyone should shoot the prisoners collectively out of grief and anger at the sacrifice of the instructor, without hesitation or argument. There are also 47 martyrs in the 9th company. Each name should be pronounced. They should not be "waiting for martyrs". Didn't Gu Zidi say it? All parents have given names, how did they become As for the unknown martyr, there should also be a martyr name wall or at least a shot at the end. I believe that the big screenwriter Liu Heng and the big director Feng Xiaogang can make such an arrangement. It must be due to over-trial or commercial considerations, or there are other considerations that I don't know about. I just wrote my own thoughts, and I don't feel that I am better than Liu Henghe. Feng Xiaogang is brilliant, they must have their reasons.
4. Many people are discussing individualism and collectivism. I don't want to discuss it in depth in this film review, because there is a simple truth: the result is important to others, and the process is important to myself. Collectivism, of course, ignores most individual needs, sets a heroic example, and values results; individualism, of course, values individual value and meaning, and values process. Gu Zidi's obedience to orders undoubtedly has the spirit of collectivism, and is also a heroic example required by the spirit of collectivism; at the same time, Gu Zidi also values personal values, and does not want his comrades to be missing persons or unknown martyrs. He hopes to find corpses to prove that they are martyrs. Hope they are named martyrs. In the movie, Gu Zidi never wanted to break away from the group. He was always looking for troops and organizations to get recognition for returning to the team, not only for the brothers of the 9th Company but also for the meaning of his own life. In the film, it is also through the continuous struggle in the army and the contact with various parties and organizations to help Gu Zidi realize his wish, which cannot be achieved by individuals alone. Collectivism and individualism are never opposites and should not be pitted against each other. If Gu Zidi himself found the corpses of his comrades in the coal mine, and then built a 9th Company Martyr's Cemetery for them, and kept guarding his comrades, that would be another story. However, film reviews are based on films.
5. In this film Feng Xiaogang raised a question: how to identify the missing persons in the aftermath of the war and treat the families of the missing persons. In 2010, three years after the film was released, the four headquarters jointly issued the Interim Regulations on Handling Disappearances of Soldiers in War, which clarified the political and welfare treatment of soldiers and their close relatives after they disappeared. This is the first time that our army has fully regulated the handling of missing soldiers during wartime in the form of military regulations. On the basis of summarizing the experience of dealing with the aftermath of the disappearance of soldiers in previous wars, the "Regulations" are aimed at some problems such as the passage of time, the content is not comprehensive enough, and the level of effectiveness is low, and proceeding from the actual needs of standardizing and strengthening the management of our military during wartime, Based on the characteristics of modern warfare and my country's legal system, it has made clear and specific provisions on the specific meaning, relevant subjects, adjudicating organs, review procedures, search obligations, and aftermath matters of the work of dealing with missing soldiers during wartime, which has better coordinated the special military legal system. The requirements are related to the current civil legal system, safeguarding the country's military interests and safeguarding the legitimate rights and interests of officers and soldiers and their dependents, the construction of the national defense force in peacetime, and the management of troops in wartime, so that there is a legal basis for the handling of missing soldiers in wartime in our army. "Assembly" directed by Feng Xiaogang obviously played a driving role, thanks to director Feng Xiaogang and Liu Heng for the screenplay.
6. I heard a lot of people saying that the lives of 47 people should be of equal value and value to the lives of the army. It's really funny. These people take the ideal of equality for everyone as a reality. Everyone is equal and the value is universal. If this is the case, then there is no need to fight. Since the value of life is the same, there is no need to obey orders. Why should some people order others to die? The superiors give orders, and the inferiors should say, it's too dangerous, why don't you go? Your life is life, isn't our life not life? Ha ha. Human beings have been unequal since the day they were born. Some people also regard gaining a little respect as evidence that everyone is equal, which is ridiculous. In the movie, the tombstone of the unknown martyr is made of wood, and the tombstone of the head of Liu is marble; the family of the missing person is subsidized with 200 pounds of millet, and the family of the martyr is subsidized with 700 pounds of millet. The scene tells us once again: people are divided into three, six, nine, etc., regardless of life or death; after all, people are valuable regardless of life and death. All we can do is keep the forgotten from being forgotten.
7. The movie's pitch is good - every sacrifice is immortal. Every sacrifice is valuable, but not every sacrifice can be remembered, not necessarily immortal. If Gu Zidi is dead, if Xiao Liang and Political Commissar Zhang are dead, when will it be possible to prove the identity of Gu Zidi and the heroic deeds of the 9th Company? Thanks to director Feng Xiaogang for making a story about oblivion. The saddest thing about people is to die silently, as if they have never been to this world, no one remembers them, no one misses them, and no one will mention them again. The lyrics of Mayday's "Twinking Eyes" are well written: I am not afraid of death, only afraid of forgetting, memories are you and me, the place to live.
8. At that time, everyone didn't know that eating chicken was not just a literal meaning. At the beginning of this film, Xiaogang took us to eat chicken from the first perspective. The scenes and special effects were the best among domestic directors at that time, and it seems to be very good today. The narrative technique of the film is very immersive and does not delay, especially the last scene of the blocking battle is placed in the second half, which is very ingenious. The main reason is that the military details are too poorly done, which has affected the historical ranking of the film. In this regard, the crew is not without a problem of meticulous craftsmanship, but a lot of common sense mistakes. Many netizens have pointed out that I will not repeat it. I want to make three points. First, 47 people blocked the strength of at least one regiment supported by tanks and artillery. The difference in numbers was too exaggerated, especially because the terrain was too open. There is no circuitous outflanking, which is not very common sense. When the national army tanks charged, they didn't see the infantry behind them? Gu Zidi also let the soil guns aim at the infantry behind the tank, which is not funny. The first round of artillery coverage by the National Army did not break the mountain artillery. If this can be understood as the good luck that the screenwriter bestowed on the 9th Company, then the neatly placed soil artillery was unscathed, which is simply surprising.
9. Seeing that Liu Zeshui, the head of the regiment, gave the millet land a lot of preferential treatment, the delicious and spicy food, a large number of military supplies, the whole big yellow dragon, etc., I also asked who was left in the old eighth district coaching team (who is still in his heart? No points?), I had a premonition that this was a deadly battle. From the very beginning, the head of the regiment did not intend to let the 9th Company retreat, and the 9th Company was abandoned from the beginning, and it was an abandoned child. Let the old comrades go to die, but they dare not say it clearly, are they afraid that they will run away in fear of the war? How should this friendship be understood? Is it sarcasm? Is it sarcasm or other answers, only director Feng Xiaogang and screenwriter Liu Heng know the answer. Are Captain Liu and his superiors worried that if they tell the truth to the 9th Company, there will be no success in the blocking battle? Captain Liu was also forced to obey orders and was not allowed to tell the truth about Gu Zidi, so Captain Liu or his superiors were the directors of this tragic battle. This kind of tragic deeds of being heroic and fighting to the death when they knew how to fight to the death. There is quite a gap in comparison, how courageous and tragic it is to know death and die! In "Letter from Iwo Jima" (2006), Lieutenant General Tadaichi Ritsubayashi of the Japanese army, after learning that the US military might leave Saipan and launch an attack on Iwo Jima at any time, gave a general mobilization lecture before the war: This small island is very important, in case When this island is lost, the enemy will use it as a base to attack our homeland. Everyone fights to the death to defend our homeland and our homeland. Our duty is to stop the enemy's offensive. Each soldier must kill ten enemy troops to die. Don't expect to come home alive! I will definitely lead the way. (bow). In fact, Gu Zidi should not be angry because of whether the rallying horn sounded in front of the tomb of the head of Liu, not to mention that in such a fierce battle, can the sound of the horn really travel so far? What Guzidi should be most angry about is why he doesn't tell himself and his brothers the truth, why doesn't he believe that they have the consciousness and courage to die? ! In addition, I especially expect director Feng Xiaogang and screenwriter Liu Heng to remake the 1997 "Great Victory" or a similar script.
10. I have to admit that Director Feng Xiaogang knows the tears of mainland audiences very well, and I was moved to tears.
