It can only be blamed that Xuanfa is too strong, causing people to have too high expectations. When I actually came out of the theater, I still felt that Guan Hu was unsurprisingly disappointing again - the part of protecting the [Blue Sky and White Sun Flag] was simply hilarious. The symbolic meaning of the flag is twofold, the national and political meanings are intermingled with each other. In the explicit expression of the complex duality of (the flag), politics is higher than national culture. For modern people who have studied history and saw that the Republic of China government handed over the great mountains and rivers and the people of the Republic of China to Japan's butcher knives and iron hoofs, the soldiers in the film worked hard to protect the "Blue Sky and White Sun Flag". The meaning of "politics" in the performance is Greater than the meaning of [nation], here is a very absurd conflict with the facts: If there is only a religious army, how can the country be allowed to fall, and the fact that the family cannot get married? If an army without faith, the (political) significance of their flag is neutered, and the brutality, nobility and detachment of devotion to idealism are lost. This makes the martyrs who were sacrificed in real history weakened into the facial makeup characters of the troupe, and they made a big show. The only touching thing in the whole film: only Chen Shusheng's self-sacrifice of "giving up his life for righteousness", the Buddhist language says "sudden realization", the moment of clarity, the "no-self" who rushed out with a pack of dynamite, Guan Hu just glimpsed in the mirror The phantom, and the image of the Chinese soldier who died recklessly. This kind of mechanical restoration does not know how to shave off excess noise. The flag in that form insulted those martyrs who pledged themselves to the country. What's wrong is that after watching the movie, I can feel more and more that the Communist Party, which was born from the people, is the warrior who truly inherits the heroic soul of the nation. Director Guan Hu only knows how to make a fake blood letter: "Sacrificing one's life for righteousness is what a child wishes." But he didn't want to think about the real meaning behind these eight words. Obviously it can be made into a classic war epic, but it chooses to be a commercial film with its own appearance.
