After going deep into southern Xinjiang, Mr. Li Cunbao wrote the famous "Garland Under the High Mountain". The work has been published, and it won the first prize in the national novella, causing a great sensation. 
This pioneering work with a military theme has a wide open and closed structure, and the fate of the characters has ups and downs. The creation of military themes has had a very far-reaching impact. It is a very difficult and challenging thing for a good work to be put on the screen. And director Xie Jin did not hesitate to take this tricky job. This is the best war movie in 38 years, but no one knows about it. This masterpiece has torn off the fig leaf of many war films. 
01, speaking of director Xie Jin, younger audiences may not be very familiar with it. It is no exaggeration to say that director Xie Jin is a "titan figure" in Chinese films. From the 50s to the 90s of the last century, it was necessary to select the directors and screenwriters who had the most far-reaching influence on Chinese films. Even if the scope is narrowed down to a minimum. His name must be mentioned. 
Hibiscus Town", "The Old Man and the Dog", "Garland Under the Mountain", "Wrangler". These works with extremely high gold content are all from the hands of Mr. Xie Jin. For example, the "Wreath Under the Mountain" that we are going to mention today is one of his masterpieces. 
"Garland Under the Mountain" is a war masterpiece, based on Li Cunbao's eponymous **. After the movie was released, it won 8 awards such as Hundred Flowers and Golden Rooster. On Douban, the current rating is 95 points, still at the ceiling level. In this war film, the director did not focus on showing the brutal battlefields of war. Instead, he followed this period of war and took the audience into the full and vivid little people. 
They are Liang Sanxi, Jin Kailai, Zhao Mengsheng, Xiao Beijing, and Sanxi's mother and wife who came from afar. They are all ordinary people, but in the era of blood and rain, they have become the backbone of the Chinese nation. Through these little characters, it also integrates Director Xie's infinite thinking and sustenance for the country and the audience. Even if it is revisited after more than 30 years, it can still transcend time, borders, and hearts. Liang Sanxi is one of the many protagonists. He is hard-working, simple and honest, and is a typical tough guy. At his home, there is a kind old mother and a simple wife. 
The director did not portray him as an omnipotent hero, but returned him to the camp of ordinary people. He is iron-clad, but he also has a sensitive and suspicious side. When he learned that it was the ** disciple Zhao Mengsheng who got the order, he also showed his irritable side and burst into foul language. However, even when he was full of complaints, he was never ambiguous in the face of such a major right and wrong as war. On the contrary, it makes people feel respectable and cute. For example, this sonorous line "China is mine, but it is also yours". It is from the mouth of Liang Sanxi. 
His wife will give birth. The army approved him to go home to visit his relatives, but because he was going to fight in Yunnan, Liang Sanxi gave up his family leave. went directly to the front line, and he also told his wife that if he died, he must use the pension to pay off the 550 yuan arrears to his comrades. 
The bullet didn't last long, and Liang Sanxi fell on the hillside in order to cover his comrades. Behind him, the only two inheritances are a military coat of his own, and toys bought for his unborn child. In addition, the most defence-breaking thing is the bloody arrears that Sanxi took out of his pocket. Each amount owed is recorded in detail above. 
During the war years, who was not precarious. However, despite the cruelty of life, in the face of national righteousness, they did not hesitate to stand up, do what they said, give up their small family, take care of everyone, and protect the peace of one party with their flesh and blood. In the 80s, there used to be a song with the lyrics - "If I fall, don't mourn, there is our blood-stained demeanor in the republic." Such a vivid and vivid little character deeply touched the hearts of the audience.
02, corresponding to Liang Sanxi, his friend Zhao Mengsheng is such a ** child. Zhao Mengsheng's growth and changes are clearer. In many war films now, the growth and transformation of a new person will be highlighted.
They may not have a strong sense of service to the country at first. But in one war after another, after experiencing the departure of his comrades-in-arms, he gradually grew up and became independent. Unlike other comrades-in-arms, Zhao Mengsheng is a ** disciple. He had a good life and wanted to escape from the battlefield at first.
When he came to the army, he was very uncomfortable with the life of the army and wanted to be "transferred". In fact, to put it mildly, this is a "deserter" psychology who only wants to protect himself. His mother was still running for his orders. And this scene was reprimanded by the leader in front of all the staff. Compared with other fighters, Zhao Mengsheng at this moment is really not worthy of his position as "instructor".
However, after going through baptism again and again, Zhao Mengsheng's fighting spirit was stimulated. Especially on the battlefield, his comrades-in-arms left one after another, which made him even more indignant. He rushed to the front of the line with a machine gun in his arms. At this moment, he is no longer the timid "bear", but has become a real hero. A man who stands up to the sky.
When director Xie Jin performed this character, from his unconscious to conscious, from his passive acceptance to his active response to the enemy, he fully demonstrated the growth of a soldier and the image of a hero who grew up in baptism. In addition to Liang Sanxi and Zhao Mengsheng, the other characters are also extremely real. Jin Kailai is a person who looks frizzy and even has a lot of minor problems. But for the sake of his comrades-in-arms, it can be said that he is as careful as a hair. Buying clothes for Sanxi's children, the fighters *** He risked violating discipline and risking his life to pick sugarcane for the soldiers to eat. In the end, it still collapsed.
Enhances the shocking power of the film. Nowadays, such movies are rare, especially this period of history, which cannot be easily mentioned. At the time, the lines were extremely powerful. "20 billion, raising a wolf cub". When the soldiers arrived at the enemy's fortress, they found the dry food eaten in Vietnam, and the ** used was written in Chinese characters.
We went out of our way to support them, but in exchange for this result. The director used the characters' lines to express his thoughts and enlightenment about the war.
These lovely comrades-in-arms are not only a monument under the shade of a wreath under the high mountain, but also our lovely and respectable relatives. It is said that after the release of this **, the pensions of soldiers have been increased, which is one of the positive effects of excellent war films. "After this glass of wine, see you in the martyr's cemetery. ”
