Recently, the movie "I Am a Mountain" was launched on iQiyi, Tencent and other streaming platforms, and officially started webcasting. After watching it, a group of new audiences also shared their feelings on the online platform, claiming that they cried many times throughout the movie, and were shocked by Principal Zhang Guimei's firm belief and the stories of the girls in the mountains.
The film tells the story of Principal Zhang Guimei's choice to establish China's first free girls' high school in the mountains, leading groups of mountain girls to rebel against fate and break out of the mountains. In terms of film creation, the main creative team of "I Am a Mountain" gave up the documentary-style simple value display, but tried to portray Principal Zhang as a more real person, and did not ignore the individual emotions that exist behind all her noble behaviors. In addition, although there are no sonorous and sensational words in the film, the audience can also see her firm belief from the party emblem that President Zhang always wears on his chest, the five-star red flag fluttering on the campus, and the song "Red Plum Praise" that resounded through the mountains.
Principal Zhang played by Haiqing undoubtedly brought a very big surprise to everyone, whether it is a highly restored external image or a precise character demeanor, it shows her excellent professional strength and strong character shaping ability, which adds a lot to the story. In addition, the local amateur actors who play mountain girls in the film are also eye-catching. In order to present the most realistic texture of female students in the mountainous areas, the crew launched a large number of auditions in the early stage, and their simple and heartfelt performances really lived up to expectations and conveyed the most sincere and moving power. After reading it, netizens also sighed that "the details are attentive, and the sense of substitution is very strong", and "I can see the intentions of the creators and actors".
I Am a Mountain" may be deficient in the specific plot adaptation, but it is undeniable that it is still an educational and enlightening work, and I hope that there will be more similar realistic works in the future, so that more people can pay attention to some of the dilemmas that exist in places we can't see.
