The box office that goes with the wind

Making a war movie is really a thankless job, not only tiring, but the conditions are also very difficult. Moreover, it also tests the director's skill: war films often mobilize the masses of the people to act as cannon fodder, dead bodies, prisoners of war, or large forces. If you are not careful, a "corpse" laughs and you have to start again.

And most of the war movies are very expensive, in jargon, "Budget is not easy to control". Wu Yusen planted a tumble on this, and his face was ashamed, and he still hasn't risen up yet.

It is said that the budget of "The Wind Whisperer" exceeds 120 million U.S. dollars, not including the 50 million U.S. dollars in publicity expenses. However, the global box office (including North America) has a mere 70 million, and it has almost lost everything. Poor MGM, can you say you can't go broke.

But Wu Yusen is really not good at this subject. His old man just made a magnificent war movie into a shootout! There is no way, who makes Lao Wu good at this.

But Old Wu didn't give up yet. The foreigner's war was not filmed, so I filmed China, so "Red Cliff" was created. As for the evaluation of "Red Cliff", forget it, I won't say much...

    John Woo probably made too many crime movies. The Japanese soldiers were close at hand, but Cage was able to move freely through the hail of bullets. I really admire him!

    Going for John Woo, I saw Nicola Cage. The cold reception of the film's listing was solved after watching the film. Director Wu poked at the weakness of the Americans, for example, Chinese directors will never be able to film the little things that the Chinese people did after the defeat of Japan. There is one more question: Director Wu, you are too good at playing. Too capable. Too capable. beated. beated. Legend has it that this is called violent aesthetics?

Windtalkers quotes

  • Private Ben Yahzee: Radio Man:

    [to Private Ben Yahzee]

    Private Ben Yahzee: Remember Marine, ours is not to question why, ours is but to do or die. Semper Fi. Over

  • Major Mellitz: [Showing a series of photographs] Take a look. It's a Navajo... or was. Tortured to death by Japanese intelligence trying to bust our code. Fortunately, couldn't help them even if he wanted to.

    Joe Enders: Sir?

    Major Mellitz: Man's a Navajo, not a Code Talker. Code's based on their language, but it is still a code. Tojo'd like nothing more than to catch a live one.
