In the thirties and forties of the last century, China was facing a great test of the War of Resistance Against Japan. Since the outbreak of the Lugou Bridge Incident, the all-out conflict between China and Japan has intensified, and at this difficult moment, a heroic railway team has risen in Zaozhuang, Shandong. They used railroads and trains to fight to the death against the invaders and do everything they could to defend their homeland.
More than 80 years after the story, this heroic feat was put on the big screen and incarnated into the movie "Railway Heroes", starring Fan Wei and Zhang Hanyu, staged a thrilling anti-Japanese war masterpiece.
Fan Wei has always stood on the big screen with a funny image, such as the medicine box in "Liu Laogen", which can always make the audience laugh. However, this time, he got rid of the shackles of comedy, and with a new image of justice and integrity, he joined hands with Zhang Hanyu to perform a touching father-son relationship. The "Lao Wang" he played is deeply engraved in the hearts of the audience.
Lao Wang, witty and flexible, in order to obtain key clues, he was respectful to the Japanese invaders on the surface, silently endured the stigma of "traitor", but resolutely did not reveal his true identity. Because he was lonely, childless, and his only belief was to defend his homeland. And his only concern is Lao Hong played by Zhang Hanyu.
Lao Hong, a coal burner on the train, formed a special relationship with Lao Wang. Lao Wang's protection of him makes the audience feel a trace of warmth, and the tacit understanding and dependence between them have become a bright spot in the whole story. However, fate soon broke them apart.
On the train, Lao Wang's undercover identity was finally discovered by the enemy, and just when others thought that he could not pass on the clues, Lao Wang had already found that his identity was exposed. In order to ensure that the organization can smoothly obtain key clues, he has already negotiated with his peers to let the clues arrive safely at the cost of his own life. At the last moment, holding the grenade prepared by his companion, Lao Wang smiled and detonated it.
When Lao Wang detonated the grenade, his smile seemed to tell the joy of victory. This heroic spirit of not fearing to sacrifice one's life in order to defend the organization is vividly displayed.
In fact, at critical moments, only ordinary people like Lao Wang can play a key role, and it is these little people who are the real heroes. Fan Wei's interpretation of this role is intricate and emotional, and the audience can't help but shed tears here. From comedy to tragedy, this span is so large that many comedians find it difficult to do, but Fan Wei is easily at it. has participated in comedy for many years, and his acting skills have always been the best, able to quickly guide the audience's emotions, and every emotion is incisive and moving.
Zhang Hanyu's excellent acting skills are also highlighted in the film, and his tough guy image is eloquent, which is not inferior to the performance in "Chinese Captain". His unique charm seems to exude the brilliance of a "hero".
In addition, the other actors in the film, such as Wei Chen and Yu Haoming, although they were known as singers at first, have a deep impression of being gentle and elegant. However, in the past few years, starting from "Eight Hundred", they have begun to transform and successfully create the image of a tough guy, which has contributed greatly to the successful presentation of the film. This time, Wei Chen and Yu Haoming did not hesitate to pay hardships, they were not only worried about not matching the role, but also paid more attention to restoring the situation at that time as much as possible in appearance, even if the audience couldn't recognize them, they didn't care.
"Railway Heroes" perfectly restores the story at that time, which is inseparable from the efforts of the supporting characters. Although their footage may only be a few seconds, and some people may not even show up, they don't care, because they have only one belief in their hearts, and that is to use their acting skills to express their awe of heroes to the fullest. Today's beauty is the cornerstone laid for us by these heroes. At any time, we should not forget these heroes, but also inherit their patriotic spirit.
