To tell the truth, I don't actually like to watch anti-Japanese war movies, it's not that I really don't like to watch them, maybe I'm disgusted by the anti-Japanese dramas of recent years. This movie is the anti-Japanese war film that is being broadcast on iQiyi and is directed by Comrade Wang Qingji, the editor-in-chief of our Chinese media--"Bloody Breakthrough 1942". I went to watch this movie because I was curious, and I was curious that there was hardly a big-name actor, and there was no traffic star starring in the Anti-Japanese War movie, which actually reached 9.1. Could it be that the film party hired a sailor for traffic?In order to confirm my opinion, I watched the movie with my wife, and after watching the movie, I felt that the score of 9.1 was less. Because I was a big man sitting alone in the living room crying a lot, my wife was even more exaggerated than me, and she couldn't stop crying for half an hour.
The film is artistically processed on the basis of the historical background of the heroic deeds of the anti-Japanese martyrs in the southern Hebei region, and reproduces the anti-Japanese soldiers and civilians in the southern Hebei region in the face of a strong enemy, uniting as one, hating the same enemy, and smashing the crazy encirclement of the Japanese puppet. The anti-Japanese soldiers and civilians who bravely resist the invaders shown in the film, as well as the scenes of the Japanese puppet army collectively shooting many prisoners of the Eighth Route Army and the people in the liberated areas, reproduce the mighty and unyielding national spirit of the Chinese nation and the ** nature of the Japanese army invading China. The war scenes of the film are real and tragic, the characters are vivid and vivid, the plot is logical, the story is complete, the narrative is smooth, the details are used superbly (Liu Rongquan's seal), and the actors' performances are more real and simple. The film constructs a group portrait of a group of heroes, some of whom do not appear much, but each has its own color, especially the little warrior monkey from a coward who has never shot a gun, to a warrior who overcomes fear and kills the enemy bravely, clearly outlining a special cruel experience that makes people grow up quickly. The film dramatically sets up a battlefield romance, and skillfully integrates the life-and-death love of Platoon Commander Liu and Peaches into a cruel war. It has a strong artistic appeal.
The film was shot seriously, the visual effects and dynamic effects were realistic, especially the war scenes such as the cavalry breakthrough in the strong wind were shocking. It is no exaggeration to say that this movie can be called an excellent war film with excellent ornamentation, artistry, and ideology.
In order to better understand the creative process of this film, I drove to Weihai, Shandong Province to interview Ms. Hu Baohua, the chief producer of this film. Ms. Hu Baohua looks gentle and elegant, not like a producer who can make such a bloody and tragic movie. But after a short exchange with Hu Baohua, I changed this opinion, Hu Baohua spoke softly and firmly, she said that she was a native of Rushan, Weihai, and her father died early, but her father taught her to love the country and her family since she was a child, and she must know that today's happy life is not easy to come by. And her grandfather is a veteran of the Anti-Japanese War, his arm was amputated after being injured by the Japanese devils, and she has hated the Japanese invaders since she was a child. When she knew that this was a film dedicated to heroes, she did not hesitate to invest in the production. She said that although she has been in the film and television industry for more than 20 years, it is the first time she has really invested in filming, and she is not very familiar with the field of investment, and she invested out of trust in the screenwriter and director Chen Guanlong. As a result, Chen Guanlong did not disappoint her, she watched this movie and cried once and was moved once.
At the end of the interview, she said that she and director Chen Guanlong were still preparing to make a movie belonging to the people of Rushan, Weihai, called "Gong Baotian", which tells the story of the legendary life of a Chinese Baguazhang master.
Here, I wish "Bloody Breakout 1942" a box office hit, and I also wish Ms. Hu Baohua a wider and wider road as a filmmaker.
