the just released "volunteer army: battle of life and death"the first scene in "the movie" is very impressive.

as a war-historical blockbuster with big production, big scenes, and an all-star cast, the opening setting of the film is intentionally small:

it was a rare gathering of the three members of the li family.

although there were only a few strokes, there were only three or four scenes, and the rhythm was very fast. everyone was in a hurry, getting together in a hurry, and leaving in a hurry. without even saying a few words, they rushed to the battlefield.

however, although there are only a few scenes, they are like a soul of the whole movie. it connects the whole movie together, with bright lines and foreshadowing, which immediately makes the whole movie more interesting.

this makes this battlefield full of blood and artillery fire more emotional and warmer.

this makes this grand war movie more flesh and blood.

yes, "volunteers: battle of life and death" is of course a movie about war. it is a movie about volunteer soldiers and a movie about heroes.

but, just like the classic saying "who is the cutest person“。

a hero should first of all be a person, a person of flesh and blood, with joy and sorrow.

and this time "volunteers: battle of life and death" obviously wants to express something from this aspect.

even though this is indeed a war blockbuster, the film's description of the cheorwon sniper battle is also very three-dimensional and comprehensive, including many demonstrations of strategies and tactics, as well as detailed descriptions of specific actual battle scenes.

however, if there were only these big scenes of war, with constant charging, shooting, and sacrifice, the scenes would be very exciting, but they would not leave much aftertaste to the audience.

what will really make us remember must be some small characters, some small things and small details. only when these are enriched can the movie resonate more easily with ordinary audiences.

it's likezhang youhaoyang sandi, played by yang sandi, is a soldier who specializes in recording battle losses, although he will be angrily scolded by other soldiers for his bad luck.

however, he just wanted to record these names.

every soldier who sacrifices is not just a number one after another, but a person of flesh and blood, with hatred and love.

therefore, this "volunteers: battle of life and death" is to help these heroic characters become fleshed out and fleshed out.

of course, "volunteers: battle of life and death" is first and foremost a war historical theme and a blockbuster.

it’s like the film’s box office has exceeded expectations at the beginning,

the subsequent box office performance also exceeded the single-day predictions of the ticket purchasing platform. it wiped out the "badmouthing" trend of this sequel before the screening. it was a great success!

moreover, from the perspective of war blockbusters, this movie is indeed exciting.

as mentioned above, the narrative pace of the second part is very fast, which confirmschen kaigeas i once said, "the wind is flying fast";

in addition, the actual combat scenes are more extreme, the tactics are more concrete, and the characters are more microscopic. the "battle of life and death" - the strategic background and tactical tactics of the cheorwon blockade are presented clearly and transparently.

while watching the movie, everyone’s moods also fluctuated frequently:heart-wrenching, shocking, tearful.

after all, this is a battle of 25,000 volunteers versus nearly 50,000 "united nations forces"the jedi counterattack battle was the pinnacle battle in the history of light infantry.

there is a huge disparity in weapons, equipment and supplies between the two sides.

moreover, the ferocious heavily armored enemy forces also implemented a crazy strategy of winning with firepower.

how crazy is it?

on average, each gun fires 350 shells per day, and can use 44,000 shells in one night. this kind of ammunition consumption, also known as "van fleet's ammunition consumption", is terrifying.

however, our volunteer soldiers persisted in fighting fiercely for 12 days and nights, and finally brought the "united nations army" to the negotiating table.

and this kind of war with a great disparity between the enemy and ourselves is destined to be very exciting.

because, although everyone knows that the volunteer soldiers did create a miracle in the end, how they achieved the miracle and what preparations and sacrifices they made are actually described in detail in this movie.

it is shocking and brings tears to the eyes.

different from those panoramic super war blockbusters, this time the depiction of war is actually more specific, with hand-to-hand combat and even a lot of hand-to-hand combat scenes, which makes the blood and cruelty of the war scenes even more impressive.

from the refinement of tactics to specific combat methods, there are also many detailed descriptions and characterizations, which also make the entire war more real and believable.

after all, the enemy's weapons and equipment are far more advanced and powerful than ours. however, in what way we defeated the enemy and won the victory, this is a question that the film must make clear.

therefore, the film spends a lot of time describing these combat details in detail, which is very tense and exciting.

a variety of methods were demonstrated, including fighting enemy tanks.

of course, in fact, every method is ultimately accompanied by huge sacrifices.

there are also many, very wonderful descriptions of details, and the most impressive one is the little nameless soldier in the film who exemplifies "close attack”。

wu benzheng (zhu yawenin the first film, the character (played by (played by)) raised a question with a positive attitude:

why do you think you can win?

this is based on his rational and data-reliant attitude. because the disparity in equipment between the enemy and ourselves is too great, it is extremely difficult to win this battle.

in the second part, when wu benzheng actually entered the battlefield, he got the information about the approaching attack.

the young soldier was still eating fruit in front of him and asked about his experience of using the weapon. in the emergency battle behind him, he responded quickly, bravely approached and dropped a bomb, and died in front of wu benzheng.

“get close"this information, when the little warrior said it, was almost an understatement.

but the contrast between this understatement and the bravery and fearlessness of the next second shattered wu benzheng's heart.

therefore, wu benzheng was also infected. he went from doubt to belief, then to reverence, and finally joined in - getting into the enemy's tank and beating the enemy.

the audience's perspective is actually stitched together with wu benzheng's perspective, and they can see the deterrent power of the volunteers who are less steely and more energetic.

yes, in fact, this is how volunteers risk their lives and do it!

in the end, the volunteers also allowed the enemy to fully experience the peak battle of human light infantry.

as director chen kaige said before, the biggest difference between the second part and the first is that it writes about people on the battlefield.

therefore, we were able to see many such characters in the second part, such as the three members of the li family mentioned above, or the little warrior.

and sun xing (who experienced the battle of songgu peak and suffered from amnesia)chen feiyu) - the memory is lost, but the combat ability and spirit are like muscle memory, and the agility remains as before.

battle damage recorder yang sandi (played by zhang youhao) shouted "i have been a soldier for a long time" and finally opened the bazooka and knocked out the enemy tank. soldier yang chuanyu (played by li zhuoyang) also fought in the "seventh flooded army" battle. the sacrifice was tragic.

each warrior explained the fundamental reason why they won——

it’s not just about tactics, it’s not just about being outsmarted, the key is also the spirit of sacrifice that is not afraid of death and fearless.

their feelings, encounters and various details make the word "hero" more three-dimensional.

on this ferocious battlefield, the only hope is related to objects, colors and smells.

"you grow soybeans in henan, and we grow sesame seeds in jiangxi." food and homesickness are isomorphic.

a hint of sweetness is a candy given by commander-in-chief peng, a mountain fruit distributed by military experts to the soldiers.

food and respect are isomorphic.

the hint of fragrance is the dried flowers in the book, which is the "smell of good days".

food, color and smell are very restrained emotional expressions in this movie.

it subtly reflects the soldiers' lack of supplies, tenacity of will, and expectations for a better future.

this small, concrete and concise design is better than passionate oaths and heroic words, and makes people feel great sadness from the bottom of their hearts.

these allow us to view war from a more complex perspective, and hero is not an isolated term. it coexists with wisdom, professionalism, willpower, and human touch.

no one wanted to sacrifice, but in the end, they chose to sacrifice themselves, and they also gave a fuller definition of heroes.

regarding "heroes", they must also be indispensablezhu yilongli xiang, played by li xiang, is the core character of this film and has a character arc.

the director allows the audience to enter the film from li xiang's role as a "son" and refuses to tell li xiang that he is a hero from the beginning. instead, he portrays him as an older brother who cannot express his feelings and a man who wants to challenge his father. son.

so when he appeared, he was forced to stand and had his head pressed to recognize his sister. he seemed at a loss.

but when he killed the enemy for the first time, he was ruthless enough. look at your family and be gentle and kind; face a powerful enemy and charge coldly.

this creates a strong contrast.

and in the end, his actions became even more touching.

moreover, when the director designed the character of li xiang and the three members of the li family, it always felt like he was intentionally paying homage to the classic film about resisting u.s. aggression and aiding korea.heroic sons and daughters", not only the relationship between the three members of the li family is comparable to that of wang cheng, wang fang and tian wenqing in "heroic sons and daughters".

moreover, li xiang's final appearance, holding the radio in his hand and wearing headphones, preparing for sacrifice, will always remind people of the original hero wang cheng.

perhaps director chen kaige also hopes to pay tribute to past classics in this way.

more importantly, what he wanted to express was that both wang cheng and li xiang were representatives of thousands of volunteer soldiers.

this is a touching way to remember heroes and history.

"volunteers: battle of life and death" is not only a war masterpiece, but also a reappearance of national memory.

director chen kaige said that the biggest motivation for filming the "volunteer army" trilogy was the fear that these people would be forgotten.

we will never forget the day they fought for.

because the cutest people will shine brightly in our memories.

after walking out of the theater, we will tell more friends to watch this movie, taste a candy, and smell the flowers. this is what the volunteers on the battlefield more than 70 years ago wanted us to feel.

we get a taste of good times.

and they will live forever.
