Scarf slogan

Recently, the war movie "Battle of Changjin Lake" led the National Day file with great enthusiasm. The film was co-produced and directed by Chen Kaige, Tsui Hark and Lin Chaoxian. Taking the Battle of Changjin Lake as the background, this paper tells the touching story that Company 7 of China Volunteer Company fought bravely in extremely harsh environment and made important contributions to the victory of the Battle of Changjin Lake.

Three famous directors with different styles have their own merits in this film, some depict the fierce confrontation between the two sides, while others depict detailed and touching characters.

Among them, director Chen Kaige mainly directed the literary drama in the film. From the literary plot in the first half of the film, it contains the director's delicate plot description, which has gained a lot of praise.

1, a tear of Wu

In the opening story, Wu, who returned home to visit relatives, returned to his hometown in Huzhou with his brother's urn. Under the surprised eyes of his parents and the strange eyes of his brother, he suddenly knelt on the ground and blamed himself for not taking good care of his brother.

At this time, Wu Jing shed tears. It would be a bit corny if Chen Kaige patted his face with a camera.

However, he made Jason Wu shed a tear, which not only conformed to the inner situation of the characters at that time, but also showed restraint and moving emotions, which well explained that "men don't flick when they cry, just because they haven't reached the sad place yet."

2. Wu Wanli's longevity lock

The details of Wu Wanli, the younger brother, are restrained and meticulous. He is a bald fisherman boy, but he wears a big longevity lock. You should know that most longevity locks were worn when you were young. When Wan Li appeared, he was already a teenager, with a nominal age of 19, but he still wore his longevity lock. This implicitly shows that as the youngest son in the family, the eldest brother and the second brother have been out for many years, parents expect their youngest son to grow up healthily and live a long and safe life.

3. Huzhou water town with colorful autumn leaves.

In fact, the Wu brothers' hometown was originally set in a small mountain village on the high loess slope in the north, but Chen Kaige felt that the scene was not enough to catch people, so he thought that the Ninth Army of the Volunteers set out from Zhejiang and set their hometown in Huzhou, a water town in the south of the Yangtze River.

Against the background of a beautiful autumn water town, it not only showed the rare peace in New China at that time, but also reflected the timeline of the Changjin Lake War. When Wu was ordered to rally and rush back to the army, the fishing fire lit the moon, which was a reflection of the Mid-Autumn Festival, and September 26th 1950 was the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the time line was just right.

4. Recover the flag of Taiwan Province Province.

In addition, many careful netizens also found that the slogan "Taiwan Province Province must be liberated" hung on the small building on the second floor in the background of the military parade held before the departure of the Ninth Corps of Volunteers in the film.

This is a scene of great respect for historical facts, because at that time, Commander Song's Ninth Corps was really preparing to cross the sea to liberate Taiwan Province Province. According to reports, Marshal Chen Yi, then the mayor of Shanghai, made a special trip to the headquarters of the Ninth Corps to read the order, and then patted Song on the shoulder and jokingly said, "It seems that your Taiwan garrison commander can't do it." It turned out that Song Zheng, the then Shanghai garrison commander, was preparing to cross the sea to recover Taiwan Province Province, and now he is going to send troops to North Korea.

5. Symbolic red scarf

When director Chen Kaige interprets the symbolic meaning of this red scarf, he thinks that although it is a pair of boys and girls, it does not contain the love between men and women. The girl threw the scarf in the car, symbolizing the eternal heart-to-heart relationship between the military and the people, and also representing the fiery warmth.

Wu Wanli's comrade-in-arms, Zhang Xiaoshan, ventured to send him a red scarf to show their love for his comrades. Later, the red scarf appeared on the battlefield again, and Wu Wanli hid it tightly under the military uniform, not only because red is the color of the national flag, but also because it is the meaning of fighting outside, and it is also the warmth of the soldiers and civilians and the touching love of his comrades.

6. photos in bel canto box

Mei Sheng, played by Zhu, is the instructor and the most literate person in the company. He also said that he had studied English for two years, which laid the foundation for him to use English to divert the enemy's attention on the battlefield later. But before leaving the battlefield, Mei Sheng had retired and returned to his home in Shanghai, but he rode his bike for more than ten hours to reach his comrades. Compared with other soldiers' bags, Mei Sheng carries a small suitcase with notebooks, photos of his daughter and other items, which looks like a decent person. After the crisis, he also ran back to the battlefield to search for his daughter's photo, saying that "this is my father's fault." It can be seen that Mei Sheng's box is not only the concern brought by the family, but also the soft spot in the soldier's heart, while the daughter's photo is the maintenance of the family relationship between father and daughter.

In fact, there are many subtleties in the details of the literary drama in the film, which has attracted the praise of many viewers and netizens.

It seems that director Chen Kaige's reputation has stabilized this time, which may confirm what he once said: "A good war movie must start with the characters."
