Perhaps, the hero is too tall, blocking our sight; the hero is too dazzling, stinging our admiring eyes, but ordinary and real people can move us more.
Feng Xiaogang tells a different story about war and human nature in "Assembly". I have to say that this is a good story, but what moved me was not the story itself, but the thinking and inspiration it brought me.
The lame Xiaoshan Cannon in the film caught my attention as soon as it appeared. He seemed to be the Nine Company that was in a dilemma after the war, and his comparison with the tank was like the confrontation between the Nine Company and the enemy's strength, and it also foreshadowed the millet land. Waiting for the final fate of people, so this is undoubtedly a tragedy. Using the assembly number as the name of the film clearly stimulates people's associations, and this association is also the key to understanding the film. Here 47 soldiers are required to resist several times or even dozens of times the enemy army, coupled with the backwardness of equipment and the shortage of ammunition, such a disparate power comparison makes the sound of the assembly horn heralds retreat and survival. The assembly number is the hope of the soldiers. It is somewhat ironic that the entire company still desperately resists when the strength of the enemy and the enemy is so disparate that there is no possibility of victory. The assembly number is the only life for these soldiers. However, for the safety of the large troops In the transfer, the regiment commander did not let the trumpeter blow the trumpet at all. At that time, the organization had already decided to sacrifice a company in exchange for the safe transfer of the large force. What the soldiers exchanged for their lives was to be abandoned and became the most veritable "cannon fodder". If the soldiers of the Nine Company knew from the beginning that they had such a glorious and great mission on their shoulders, then the sacrifice would have become a matter of course, but the fact is that these lovely soldiers are naively looking forward to the scenery of heaven on the way to death, although Preparations for sacrifice were also made, but the twists and turns of this are still sprouting in the hearts of the soldiers. The assembly number is the full seed on this dry land.
The warriors fell one by one, and the battlefield they desperately defended became their cemetery in an instant. The rallying trumpet that they are looking forward to every minute tries to put them to rest after many years! How should they accept this belated trumpet? !
Until the last moment of his life, the head of the regiment still repented for his decision of the year. Yes, they are all victims of war, no one can be responsible for others or even their own lives, so Lao Gu finally chose to forgive him after struggling hard. Here I can see that the old eighth district mentioned in the play is another nine company, or that the nine company is the shadow of the old eighth district. Captain Liu and Gu Zidi are equally loyal and stubborn, and did not hear the order to retreat, even if Even if the entire army is annihilated, they will never back down. Also represented by the platoon leader Jiao, none of the brothers of the Nine Company are afraid of death. This is a continuation of a loyal and fearless spirit and has become an excellent revolutionary tradition. When there were only nine active "heads" left in the company, Jiao Dapeng, the bravest soldier in the company, told Gu Zidi when he was dying that he had heard the rallying call. The words he said shocked Gu Zidi and shocked the audience even more. He is the bravest person. How could he tell such a lie? Is he afraid of death? Does he want everyone to back off? Every life is precious, and he can give his life for the motherland, but for others, in this case, it is impossible for everyone to go out alive, and it is useless to stay. We can decide how to end our own lives, but we can't see the sacrifice of those around us in vain. Yes, we have our own beliefs, and we can do it for the sake of communism. Some people say that if they don't die, they will set up another nine companies. They can also spread this spirit to more people, etc., but in my eyes , Platoon Leader Jiao just couldn't bear to sacrifice the lives of these innocent and lovely soldiers. In fact, what everyone wants to see is heroic warriors, not glorious "martyrs". Yes, their perseverance clearly has no hope of victory, just loyal perseverance, and they have an explanation to their superiors, so their waiting has the sorrow of lingering. This was probably the scene that shocked me the most.
The battle scene in the play is extremely fierce and cruel. The boys were chatting and laughing a second ago, but at this moment they saw their body like a piece of glass falling to the ground, instantly shattered, and even the smile was still on the face, and it was too late to feel the pain of fragmentation. The sudden loss of life makes the living even more tragic, especially the pleading scene of the wounded soldier, who dragged his mutilated and mutilated leg and clutched the instructor tightly, like a straw caught in the flood, never willing again. Can't let go. I don't want to describe their eyes, maybe it's the superb acting skills of the actors, the truth makes me dare not recall, and I can't let go for a long time. This film completely subverts the fighting image of our soldiers in previous war films that never seem to know pain and are not afraid of death. Their fragility and panic have brought us closer to the people in the film, closer to our lives, and more real. And humane, more worth watching.
The film's most worthy of our reflection is an interpretation of freedom. Gu Zidi has been immersed in deep self-blame and remorse for not hearing the assembly call, and when he learned the truth, he fell into another kind of pain. It is true that people cannot have absolute freedom in life. When you escape from one kind of life predicament, you unfortunately fall into the trouble of another life. Exactly the opposite of freedom. The description of Millet Land accurately and profoundly analyzes the deepest feelings in human emotions, and reveals the spiritual confusion of modern people. The film casts humanitarianism and sympathy and understanding to all living beings, and the spiritual predicament of individual human beings. It is restored and displayed through the lens, and the absence of the ultimate concern of modern people is made up with the help of the narrative and metaphor of the film.
"Assembly" tells us: perhaps, the hero is too tall and blocks our sight; the hero is too dazzling, stinging our appreciative eyes, but ordinary and real people can move us more.
