At the end of the movie, everyone watching the movie, whether male or female, was moved to tears.
Li Mu also secretly wiped his tears several times. When watching this movie, he saw more than just a movie. What he saw was the history of blood and tears of the Chinese nation's bloody battles, and the tenacity of the Chinese people. The unyielding national integrity shows the great contributions made by countless veterans to this country.
After watching this movie, you can get a glimpse of the roots of the greatness of Chinese civilization.
In the face of a national crisis, both the country's soldiers and the country's common people will put life and death aside and put national justice above their lives.
Soldiers can sacrifice their lives for the country without hesitation, and people can take up guns and rush to the battlefield without hesitation. Even the old, weak, women and children who cannot go to the battlefield will do their best to help this country resist foreign enemies.
This is the real reason why our Chinese civilization has stood firm for five thousand years!
Li Mu has watched many movies depicting World War II.
I dare not say that "Flying Tigers" can be the most exciting one, but it is not a big problem to rank in the top five.
And its production level can definitely be ranked first.
As for the script level, lineup level, shooting level, post-production level, and editing level, the sum total can definitely rank among the top war films.
Li Mu has always felt that movies are like fighting landlords. There are countless combinations. Just watching a certain point is not enough.
For example, having a lot of bombs does not necessarily mean you have a good hand, and a good hand does not necessarily mean you will win. Even if you have a magic hand full of bombs, you may lose.
Sometimes the landlord doesn't have a single bomb in his hand, but a five-flying combo can directly deal with all the cards.
He feels that "Flying Tigers" is the latter.
If we compare the same type of movies directed by Spielberg, the plot and tone of "Schindler's List" are too depressing and many viewers cannot accept it, while the scenes of "Saving Private Ryan" are slightly bloody. The film starts from the Normandy landing, and the plot and camera advancement are always on the ground.
The ground war itself is very cruel, with bullets and artillery shells of various calibers saturating the ground. The ground is full of corpses and broken limbs. Compared with the naval battle, the air battle is relatively less concrete visually, and whether it is the sea battle, it is relatively cruel. It's still the sky, the background is grander, and the perspective is naturally much higher, giving people a sense of grandeur.
This is also the reason why "Top Gun" has brainwashed countless passionate young people.
With the sea below you and the sky above your head, as long as the visual presentation of a movie with this theme is good, even if the plot is terrible, it can attract a large number of viewers.
Take a look at "Top Gun", also known as "Top Gun". The plot itself is a very bad story. The ace pilot does not train well, and while fighting against his superiors and acting independently, he still does not forget to be cool and pick up girls.
For viewers who are not from the Air Force, after watching this movie, they will feel that the Air Force pilots are so cool and the F14 is so cool!
For serious pilots, after watching this, they will have one thought: WTF? We are almost the most demanding military branch in the world in terms of physical and mental quality. If you take pictures like this, do you think that all of us are just high school students with stupid IQs
Any fighter pilot pilots a fighter aircraft worth hundreds of millions or even hundreds of millions of dollars. A pilot who confronts his superiors every day will inevitably end up grounded indefinitely. You are so ambitious that you just keep cleaning the plane in the hangar. Go ahead.
This is why "Top Gun" was criticized by American professional film critics as a flashy MTV movie when it came out. The whole movie didn't care about the plot or logic, but only about whether it was handsome or cool.
It doesn’t matter that the top pilot is a prick and is busy picking up girls every day. The key point is that the top pilot accidentally entered the wake of the front aircraft during training, causing the engine of his aircraft to stop and enter a horizontal spiral. He crashed the plane while trying to recover.
You are the top Top Gun pilot! You crashed the plane because of your own mistake. To be able to do such a stupid thing, you must be a top pilot sent by a hostile country, right
What’s even more funny is that there was a super pilot flying an F14, trying to make the plane enter a horizontal spiral according to the plot settings, and then film this scene.
As a result, this super pilot himself did not improve himself, and actually took a box lunch with an F14.
Therefore, an elite pilot risked his own life in order to recreate the plot of Silly Bird written by Silly Bird writer. How high can the real level of a movie like this be
What's even more embarrassing is that in the movie, Tom Cruise pretended to be X to prevent the plane from being recovered, and then ejected to escape with his comrades. However, his comrades hit the hatch of the plane, and then received a box lunch in the movie.
This was the F14, the most advanced fighter plane in the United States at the time. The pilot was killed by the hatch when ejecting. Is it really okay to be so shady about one's own country's top weapons
In the end, with the death of his teammates, the ace pilot played by Tom Cruise came to his senses and finally grew into a better top pilot.
This ridiculous plot is so ridiculous that it doesn’t deviate much from the anti-Japanese drama. As a result, it can attract a large number of young fans to follow it. Therefore, it is obvious that in the 1980s, Tom Cruise was already a top traffic star. , no matter what bad movies the top traffic stars make, they are always followed by people.
Just like "The Last Samurai", this plot is also embarrassing. It completely takes out real historical figures, and then gives them a completely fabricated plot and makes a movie that praises the spirit of bushido.
Not to mention that Japan has been very good with cannons and other firearms since the time of Oda Nobunaga. As a result, during the Meiji Restoration era in the film, samurai were actually still using pure cold weapons.
Moreover, for the spirit of Bushido, a samurai leader supported his troops, fought against the country, and blocked the country's scientific and technological progress and policy progress. In the end, he was praised as a hero. Isn't this a bullshit
If this is placed in Chinese history, what is the difference between this protagonist and Zhang Xun who supported Puyi's restoration
If a movie praising Zhang Xun was made in China, it would definitely be scolded by the Chinese people, but why don’t Japanese audiences have this awareness
Combined with Japan's consistent habit of misinterpreting and covering up history, it can be seen that the Japanese people are far worse than the Chinese people in at least having a correct understanding of history.
Compared with these movies, "Flying Tigers" is not only much better in terms of graphics, special effects, and visual and auditory effects, but it also respects history to a great extent in terms of story background and plot settings, and it is also very good at shaping several core characters. , no subjective and intentional private goods were added.
From a background perspective, the history of Japan's invasion of China is completely true, the history of the Flying Tigers aiding China in the war of resistance is completely true, and it is also true that Chinese pilots fought side by side with American pilots and resisted the Japanese Air Force in the central and southwestern regions.
It is true that Chennault came to China to assist, and it is also true that he helped China recruit and train pilots, purchase fighter jets and form the Flying Tigers.
It is also true that the Flying Tigers resisted the Japanese Air Force in the early stage, and later disbanded and reorganized with the U.S. Air Force and the Chinese Air Force to form a task force.
The history of the task force opening the Hump Route, escorting transport planes across the Himalayas, and transporting aid supplies to China is also true.
There was even more than one case of American Flying Tigers falling in love and marrying Chinese women during the Anti-Japanese War. Chennault's wife, Chen Xiangmei, later became a well-known Chinese lady in the United States and a world-famous overseas Chinese leader. She was once very active in American politics. .
The entire story revolves around this period of real history. It can be said that every plot and every scene fully respects the real history.
Its respect for history can be equated with "Saving Private Ryan". The background of the story of Saving Private Ryan is the European battlefield. From the landing in Normandy to the US Airborne Division going deep behind enemy lines, these histories are all true.
Ryan's prototype characters were indeed four brothers. At that time, the U.S. government received news of the deaths of his three brothers one after another and decided to let him return home alive no matter what.
The only difference is that one of the brothers of the real prototype was later confirmed to have been captured by the Japanese army and survived in the end.
Like "Flying Tigers", both fully respect history and carry out subtle film and television transformations based on prototype characters.
This is hundreds of steps ahead of "The Last Samurai".
The characters in "Flying Tigers" also fully respect the real history.
First of all, Chennault did come to China for money. The pilots Chennault recruited were all like mercenaries, coming to China to fight for money. There is no unnecessary beautification or embellishment in the movie, but Chennault and these American pilots Indeed, in the war to aid China, a stronger and stronger sense of justice emerged, from fighting purely for money to fighting partly for money and partly for justice.
On the other hand, in "The Last Samurai", a retired American officer went to Japan to help the Japanese emperor train the Japanese army and eliminate the conservative samurai forces. As a result, this guy took other people's money and had no fucking professional ethics. First, he killed the samurai camp during the war. A general, and then after being captured by the samurai camp, he fucking rebelled against the enemy!
What's even more fucking nonsense is that this guy just rebelled against the enemy and ended up getting together with the wife of the samurai general he killed.
What the hell? You killed her husband and she was with you. You two had committed adultery a long time ago, right? How else could this make sense? Just because of the protagonist’s halo, the protagonist kills the heroine’s husband, and the heroine still wants to be with him
Secondly, there were countless Chinese pilots like Liu Ye during World War II.
There are too many Chinese pilots who have sacrificed their lives for the country and spilled their blood in the sky. They put their lives aside to protect their country, their nation, their homeland and their compatriots. In order to protect them, the pilots would rather spill their blood in the sky.
Their bravery and greatness are even worse than the character created by Liu Ye.
It can be said that although the character Liu Ye is fictional, what he does and says in the film is a true portrayal of countless revolutionary martyrs.
Look at the group of brainless samurai in "The Last Samurai", they are like a group of bandits occupying the top of the mountain.
At that time, their country was engaged in reform and opening up, following the example of the West in developing industry and economy. As a result, these samurai became kings and talked about the spirit of bushido every day. Going down the mountain to fight with the national army with a sword, in the name of defending the dignity of the samurai, isn't this a complete crime of treason
Do you think it will kill you if you are asked to cut your braids? Are you going to carry your samurai sword and bow and arrows and fight against the country? Are you afraid it's not poisonous
There is also Tom Cruise. This person's betrayal of his employer and his enemies is simply the greatest insult to "professional ethics".
Traitors and traitors get together to make a movie that moves the world. What's the difference between bringing Pan Jinlian and Ximen Qing together to make a love movie that moves the world
Compared with "Flying Tigers", the overall level of this movie is at least a few blocks behind!
