Thoughts on Watching Tangshan Earthquake

The expression of post-criticism is flexible and diverse, which basically belongs to the category of discussion, but writing is different from general argumentative essays because it must be based on reading. Simply speaking, it is the feeling after watching. It is important to describe the feeling as follows:

Tangshan Earthquake is not a simple disaster film, let alone a spectacular special effects film. Although its earthquake special effects scene is very shocking, the focus of director Xiaogang Feng is obviously not here.

From the dragonfly flying all over the sky before the earthquake to the terrible ruins after the earthquake, this process only takes about half an hour, and the next two hours of mental "aftershocks" are the key content of the film. Xiaogang Feng, the director, obviously used the method of convergence to incite emotions, instead of being unrestrained like some bitter TV series.

If the film paves the way for the happy life of the protagonists before the earthquake for a longer time, then the tragic intensity of the comparison before and after will be greater. In addition, for a long time in the middle of the film, the narrative of life after the separation of mother and son was slightly trivial and dull, which separated the tragic atmosphere of the whole film to some extent.
