Chapter 1182 When I become dust, you will see my smile

Compared with the "Eight Hundred" in Li Yi's memory, it faces many controversies, because of improper publicity, etc., in Li Yi's version, there are none.

For example, the descendants of the "parachutist" who escaped first, Li Yi didn't need to deal with those who were there or not.

After all, how could Yue Fei's movie get Qin Hui's descendants to promote it positively?

Therefore, in the early days of its release, although "Eight Hundred" did not say that it had zero negative reviews, it was still mostly positive. On the popular film review website, the score was higher than 8 points.

Of course, some people compare movies with real history, so it is certain that there are indeed many deviations from history in "Eight Hundred".

This is also something that is unavoidable for movies with historical backgrounds.

However, the reaction of ordinary movie fans was the most direct.

"Watching it with my children is particularly shocking. Although many plots may be faked for exaggeration, it is still a good movie. I was heartbroken after watching it. In fact, there are not many historical movies from the old people until the 21st century. Children When I watched it, my eyes were red and my tears were rolling. I pretended to be relaxed and asked him, what’s wrong, I felt uncomfortable after watching the movie? He was grinning and snotted, and waved his hand. Nothing happened many years ago, so I can’t feel bad about the past.
In fact, I want to tell him that seeing the singing and dancing on the other side of the river, he is struggling to defend the country. If you want to be a soldier when you grow up, I will break your legs first! "

"If it wasn't for the ruin of the country and family, how many parents would be willing to send their children to the battlefield! Chen Shusheng's family letter is too shocking!"

"I think many people have made a mistake: the historical adaptation film is a secondary creation, and there is no problem with certain fiction and artistic processing, and the film is clearly using the situation of the eight hundred warriors to satirize the weakness and incompetence of the Guojun authorities. Those who deny the value of "Eight Hundred" by citing "historical facts" and "positions" missed the point.

As for the fact that the film did not "enjoy" the audience enough in the end, except for some of the reasons why it was not filmed well, this feeling is actually in place, because the sense of humiliation contained in "Eight Hundred" was not intended to be seen by people. happy. "

"Really, there has never been a movie with the main theme, which is as aggrieved as watching "Eight Hundred", especially the ending of the last eight hundred heroes, it really makes people feel frustrated! They should be heroes, but they can only Being claustrophobic there, obviously capable of breaking through, but having to endure it because of the so-called "overall situation". If a country needs to live humiliated by this group of heroes, it has already explained a lot of problems. If the party authorities He is not fit to rule this country at all!"

At the same time, there are more interpretations of this movie.

Zhou Qingquan commented on the film in the "Film Weekly" column.

"What is the significance of the defense of the Four Elements warehouse? Is it necessary to fight the defense of the Four Elements warehouse? Wait, this question has been discussed by many people, and it is hotly debated.

But in connection with the historical background at that time, no matter what the purpose was, whether it was a performance or a show, the defense of the Sixing Warehouse had its unique and vital significance.

"Everyone in the country is like this, how dare Japanese pirates!" This sentence became the sentence that left the deepest impression on me in this movie.

Let's take a look at why this battle was fought well and must be fought?

At the beginning of the movie, through the old woman's dictation, we are pulled back to that era.The next thing that catches the eye is the tired, disorganized and disorderly equipped army walking in the green fields, and then suddenly zoomed into the distant view, Shanghai City, which has been baptized by the war and has become dilapidated, coupled with a few crows. The emotional tone is set - tragic.

It still uses strong contrast to shape the characters and set off the environment.The hooved horse statue and the battle commentary with pale subtitles, two very different worlds separated by a Suzhou River, and the performance of soldiers and Chinese people in the concession.

When we watch the movie, it is not difficult to find that at the beginning, people either resisted the war and advocated giving up resistance; or they didn't care about it, as if everything that was about to happen had nothing to do with them.The soldiers who try to escape by every possible means, the professor's wife who knows that the war is about to take the lives of his compatriots but keeps arguing about trivial things like water leaks, and the casino lady who is able to help but stands on the sidelines, all these things quickly create a deformed situation. The world, people in this world only care about themselves, and don't care about countries and nations.

I don’t know if you have noticed a detail. The foreigners hawking hot dogs along the street stared at the Chinese people who were sitting on the side of the road and didn’t care about the situation in the warehouse, and shouted “Hot dog!” Satire?

Observers from various countries in the airship said that the Chinese people in the concession seemed to be experiencing a "thing that had nothing to do with them"!
The most heart-wrenching dialogue in the film is the dialogue between Xiaohubei and Xiaoqiyue:

“It's so beautiful over there”

"That's the concession."

"Over there is heaven, over here is hell!"

At this time, the people on the other side of the river are still indifferent.

And the indifference of the Chinese people is the strongest weapon to invade the land of China.

They need to be awakened.

There are two crucial turning points.

The turning point for the soldiers was when facing the enemy's "iron armor formation", Chen Shusheng tied a grenade to his body, then handed over his relics to his company commander, and jumped down to die with the enemy without hesitation.

On the white sweatshirt he left to his mother, there were eight big characters written - "Sacrificing one's life for righteousness, what one wishes for one's son"!
The righteousness of the nation is always the most noble in the hearts of Chinese men, which transcends life and death and family affection.

That is "I smile to the sky from the cross-knife, and go to Kunlun with my heart and gall" to stir up the heroic spirit.

After knowing that this method would work, none of the soldiers backed down, but prepared to follow suit. The machine gun companies lined up, and after reporting their names, they jumped down without hesitation. Finally, the enemy was forced to retreat, and the Chinese on the other side cried At the same time, Mr. He also said the phrase "Everyone in the country is like this, how dare the Japanese pirates".

Yes, everyone in the country is like this, how dare Japanese pirates?In the face of the poisonous gas floating in, someone in the concession yelled "Don't be afraid of my great country", but the picture shows people running away with their heads in their arms. The strong contrast is so ironic!

If on the first day of the invasion of the invaders, the [-] million compatriots had such thoughts and fought hard to resist, maybe the result would be different, right?
However, these still seem to be unable to allow the "audience" in the concession to have a personal experience.

Because they are on the other side of the river, because this is a concession, and this is a safe zone!
How ironic, on our own land, the concession, which represents shame, has become a safe zone?

The key point is that they are not ashamed, but proud. They are from the concession, and they inevitably have a sense of superiority over outsiders.

Oooh!
Such ignorance, such indifference, needs to be awakened.

For the Chinese people in the concession, I think the turning point is that many people risked their lives to send the phone to the warehouse.

Before that, some students went to the other side in a moment of enthusiasm, but when the cruelty of war was truly displayed in front of them, they realized how superficial they were.

But this is still something to be happy about, at least, our students, our teenagers, still have a blood, a blood, the youth is strong, the country is strong!

The spirit of the defenders who sacrificed their lives for the righteousness of the nation finally awakened the people of the country. The students and gangsters lined up and tried to send the phone to the warehouse on the other side of the bridge. He came out: "Hujiangtang, junior, petition with a knife! Willing to give it a try!" The knife cut his thumb, pressed the red handprint, and ran to the bridge without looking back after being shot.This run, there is no return, lying in a pool of blood.

The role of Knife is believed to be impressive, even though he doesn't have many roles.

He is not a hero in the traditional sense. Even in the end, many people debated whether he was a hero.

However, he is a native of China, and he is a Chinese who dared to sacrifice his life for this country. Maybe he didn't have the concept of a country, but at least he did what countless people couldn't do.

The donated flag was raised high, and the soldiers died one after another to protect the flag; at the end of the film, the special commissioner of the army sent an order, and Commander Xie ordered the withdrawal of the troops, and the soldiers rushed to the bridge with hatred—the soldiers were protecting this broken bridge. The final dignity of the country is for the hope of a better tomorrow.

That flag fell in the entire Shang Beach, and there is no one of our flags on our own land. What a humiliation, so when the flag is flying and everyone cheers for it, this kind of behavior did not appear out of thin air Yes, but because there was already a fire in the hearts of the Chinese people, and because it had been silent for too long, someone needed to wake it up again. Chen Shusheng not only woke up Yangguai and others who had lost all the way and lost confidence in the war, but also awakened the people in the concession on the other side. country people.

Awaken the sleeping Chinese people and wake up the righteousness of the nation.

Once the fire of national righteousness is awakened, the [-] million compatriots will be united like never before, and we will surely defeat all invading enemies.

Only after experiencing the baptism of war, can we know how hard-won peace is today.An inch of rivers and mountains is an inch of blood, and today's great rivers and mountains have been washed with blood by the revolutionary ancestors. It is their sacrifices that have brought us today's peaceful and prosperous world.

Today, many years later, the motherland is unprecedentedly strong, we have a soaring economy, world-leading technology, and a lofty international status-and we are unprecedentedly united.No matter how great the difficulty is, it will be insignificant compared to the era of war. Today, there is no difficulty that will make the Chinese nation succumb again!
So, as a film work, I think this kind of film has done well enough.

On the Internet, there are always so many people who have always been black and white and go against history. I personally think that it is unnecessary. If there is no artistic processing in the film, you can go to the documentary. Is there a problem?On the one hand, this film affirms the anti-Japanese ancestors of Guojun, and on the other hand, it also points to the corrupt environment at that time, just like the drama on the stage of the concession, awakening more Chinese people to cherish the hard-won life and patriotism, and not to forget the national humiliation. We are self-improvement.That's enough! "

For this kind of film adapted from real history, many people often say that the film violates history and so on.

The reality is that for the vast majority of viewers, they are actually not familiar with this period of history.

Therefore, many ordinary audiences actually did not have a particularly big reaction to this, but there were also some things in the movie that made many people talk about it.

For example, the sentence at the beginning of the film: "When I become dust, you will see my smile."

But what exactly does it express?Many people do not understand its meaning.

However, there is no need to worry about this kind of thing, because some of the supernatural movie fans will naturally give an explanation.

The same is true.

Some movie fans popularized this sentence: "This sentence means: When the original me turns into smoke and dust and ceases to exist, you will see my knowing smile. The implication is that you don't have to I'm sad that I'm gone, I'm happy to do that, I'll be overjoyed to get rid of the old me.

How did this meaning come about?To contact the original text.

"When I become dust, you will see my smile" comes from Lu Xun's "Tomb Tablet"!
The general meaning expressed in the "Tomb Inscription" is: he had a dream, in which he talked with the dead body in the tomb.It tells the story of the person in the tomb from a "fanatic" warrior in his lifetime to a dead body with a void and gloomy heart, and finally realizes his own negativity, and wants to seek relief through "becoming dust".

"When I become dust, you will see my smile" is the denial of the emptiness and darkness of the person in the tomb (the dead body), that is, he also realizes that his state is too negative, so he wants to use self-destruction, for relief.This relief is a kind of comfort to him, so he will feel extremely happy, which is why he said, "When I become dust, you will see my smile".

Later, when we quote this sentence, we will extend and expand the meaning of this sentence.At the moment, "When I become dust, you will see my smile" generally means that when a person devotes himself to a certain cause, he feels that doing so is right, so he has no complaints or regrets, and even feels very happy.

The meaning expressed here is probably: eight hundred strong men guarding the Sixing Warehouse, even if they end up being smashed to pieces and sacrificed their lives for the country, they still feel that doing so is extremely correct and glorious, so they feel calm in their hearts, have no complaints or regrets, and can face death with a smile. Obtain detachment and eternal life in death.

Of course, I personally think there is another explanation here. Everyone should have seen the tragic experience of the eight hundred heroes after crossing the bridge. So, perhaps, for many of them, it can be said that during the period of being claustrophobic in the solitary barracks, they Just like the people in the tomb, they used to be heroes and warriors, but instead of receiving flowers and honors, they were imprisoned like captives.

Even death may be a relief for them, and they are even more envious of those comrades who died in battle, because they can shout loudly, it is an honor for us to die for our country.

But what about them?
For this reason, this sentence may also have a lot to do with the portrayal of the minds of the eight hundred people at that time, right? "
