Assembly number, film review 2000, thank you.

"Assembly": the structure of insects. According to heroic biology, one of the characteristics of insects is that "all parts of the body are assembled into three body segments: head, chest and abdomen, but they are not divided". From the outside, these three parts are connected quite suddenly. Assembly is such an insect-like movie. -The Count of Monte Cristo Many people say that "assembly" is good, but so far they have not seen a reason that can really convince people to admit that it is "good"; Many people say that the assembly number is poor, and the reason is very detailed and pertinent, but it has been reviled by thousands of people. For such a movie, the positive side regards it as a god, while the negative side despises it as a demon. To tell the truth, before I went to the cinema to see this movie, I also believed it was a good movie, and I also lambasted those critically compiled articles. But after reading it, it can only be described as disappointment. It feels like watching an insect full of heroic spirit flying unscrupulously under the main theme. The disappointment of Assembly is mainly the disappointment of the film structure, and this abrupt transition and turning point is unbearable. First of all, judging from the story content of the film, it is mainly about the story of the ninth company commander Gu ratifying the title of martyr for his subordinates who died in the liberation war. The story itself is quite sensational, and the time span is also quite large, extending from the war of liberation to peacetime. According to our usual thinking, such stories are usually told in flashback, but the screenwriter is Feng Dao, who wants to tell them like a chronicle, misleading us. Therefore, such a situation appeared in Assembly. The first half of the rhythm was compact, the second half of the plot was dull, and the atmosphere created in the first half was not maintained until the end of the film, and it was cut off halfway and died. The story of Assembly tries to cover everything. Xiaogang Feng is very careful, that's for sure, but the movie is not a TV series after all, especially such a movie with a considerable time span. What is the main and what is the secondary should be clearly distinguished. The slogan on the film poster is "Every sacrifice is immortal", so sacrifice is naturally the highlight, and sacrifice is death on the battlefield, which is undoubtedly expressed through cruel war. The first 50 minutes of the film are all war scenes, and the production is quite excellent. These war scenes are definitely the first in China's war films. But there seems to be nothing left here except visual impact. Most of the sacrifices of 47 soldiers were replaced by "killed ××". The death of those protagonists was really touching when I watched it. At least my eyes were wet for the first 50 minutes, but the touching effect brought by their sacrifice did not continue to sublimate, but was abruptly cut off in the middle. The line-by-line truncation of subtitles cut off all the touching effects and commendable visual impact of the liberation war. The camera turned to the Korean battlefield. If the success of the War of Liberation is attributed to the South Korean bombing team, then I believe this part of the Korean War is Xiaogang Feng's own. The plot of this passage is very funny. This smile shows Feng's humor, but the sensational effect brought by the explosion that cost a lot of time and money has been diluted. How many people will remember the shocking war scenes in front of them, the tragic scenes of those heroes falling down, and the tense war rhythm in the laughter of "The Wheel Before Turning to Smecta"? The most important things have been forgotten and completely disappeared. The Korean battlefield is meaningless. It was bombed several times and a bridge was broken, so it was over. The mine in Gu's hand never appeared again. In this way, subtitles appeared again, and time turned to peacetime. The mines on the Korean battlefield have become an eternal mystery, which makes people feel uncomfortable. "Peacetime" tells the touching story of nine soldiers who died in the liberation war in ancient times, so the content of the Korean battlefield seems redundant and there is no need to join. In the usual stories, funny Feng humor is indispensable, so by the same token, Feng Dao laughs without tears. This story should have been the most emotional part of the whole film, focusing on the whole process of Gu's being devastated and tortured in order to give his subordinates peace, but here we didn't see these difficult processes, only the conversation between the organization and him, the introduction of Deng Chao and the black coal pile! The scene of coal mining didn't feel much sensation. The only emotional scene in peacetime is the scene in front of the colonel's grave. The performance of this scene is in place, but we can't feel the emotional intensity in the war scene for the first 50 minutes. There is no atmosphere at all. Imagine telling so many jokes and suddenly seeing a touching picture. Can the audience adjust at once? The final ending of the film is also very poor, giving people an unspeakable feeling. Generally speaking, the first half of the story is compact and wonderful, the funny in the middle destroys the atmosphere, and the second half is boring. In a movie, we have experienced three different styles of movies, just like watching an insect. Obviously, the head, chest and abdomen are independent. This writer is mainly responsible for the disappointment of the conference. If a writer chooses the wrong way to tell a good story, he will naturally lose most of it. Imagine how successful a war movie would be if the story of the collection was told in the narrative way of Flag of the Father. All the war scenes appear in flashbacks, and the plot of ancient times rehabilitating his subordinates in peacetime runs through the whole film as a clue, which not only ensures the unity of the whole film's rhythm, but also reflects the ancient inner world in detail, and the intensity of characterization will be much stronger than this chronicle. This narrative way of chronicle is only suitable for TV series. The time span of Liang Jian is very long, but as a TV series, he has enough time to narrate, so Liang Jian is a success. If "Bright Sword" is made into a movie and told in a chronicle way, it will definitely be the result of such a distant rhythm. Screenwriters should take this into full consideration when writing the assembly script. This is a movie script, not a TV script. It doesn't mean plagiarism like the narrative structure of Father Flag, nor does it mean plagiarism like the narrative structure of Flying Taiji Flag. The key is to tell excellent stories in a reasonable way. Assembly is outstanding because of war drama, but disappointing because of its structure. This is really a very sad thing! Let's not say how many scenes have been deleted from the cinema version of Assembly Number. Even if all the deleted scenes are restored to Assembly Number, as long as Assembly Number is still a chronicle narrative, there will not be much change. As far as the first 50 minutes are concerned, I admit that Assembly is the best war film in China. The first 50 minutes were very touching, the shooting was very careful, and the level of translation was good, but the blasting technology was Korean after all, which was a pity. Apart from this 50-minute war drama, the rest can only be disappointed. Finally, "Assembly" received endless praise, which blocked my ears ... Assembly: China Film finally had a content film on1February 29th. After Golden Flower and Banquet in 2007, I was very disappointed with China's films. Directors are trapped in the quagmire of playing with visual effects, so that the story of each film is just a weak structure that can't stand scrutiny, and they play with visual effects as much as possible on the empty structure to attract attention. This film has made great progress. The story is a story with flesh and blood and content. The tragic scene of the war directly reflects the root cause of the hero's persistent pursuit after the war-if his comrades died so tragically, why insist on being a martyr? How many soldiers died heroically in the war, just like missing? Some people say that the content in this film involves the civil war in China, which is not good. However, wasn't that war always called "the War of Liberation"? The three major battles of the war of liberation have been put on the screen. What can't be filmed? What's wrong with the assembly number telling stories only in this context? Some people think that this film is divorced from reality. But from my appreciation point of view, I don't think it is out of touch at all. I guess those who are out of the audience may be attracted by the hot war scenes in the first half. In the second half, after the war, the protagonist began to persistently seek justice from bureaucrats. Without the visual impact, he felt very dull, so he got the feeling of "disconnection". However, in my opinion, this movie is not a war movie at all. It should have been a film with a strong humanistic atmosphere, but in order to attract the attention of the audience and meet the needs of most people for visual effects, it is necessary to add some war scenes with visual effects. In short, the audience who want to see the powerful war scene from beginning to end will be disappointed, because the theme of the whole play is not here, but in the second half, there is no smoke and gunfire. Of course, the media may exaggerate its "war theme" for propaganda, but anyone who has carefully watched this film will understand that the war scene in front is only the foreshadowing of the plot behind. Of course, the fly in the ointment of this drama is that the PLA's combat actions are very well trained from the picture. Probably invited by the production team from outside? As we all know, the equipment and training of the PLA at that time were not enough to train so well. This is slightly inaccurate. Two articles, both positive and negative, still have to be asked.
