The release of "Born Out of the Sky" not only brought good box office and word-of-mouth success, but of course it also made some people start to bring up the past!
There is one topic that has been debated endlessly.
That is: science has no borders, but scientists have nationalities.
This topic has actually been discussed and mentioned by many people in the past few years.
It just so happens that Lu Guangda is such a typical character in the story told in "The Birth of the Sky".
For this reason, it is natural that people will inevitably start discussing this point.
Why is there controversy?
It seems that there is nothing controversial about this topic, but a lot of controversy has arisen.
One side believes that since you are a Chinese scientist and a Chinese, and the motherland has trained you, isn’t it natural to repay the motherland?
However, the other party used the domestic environment as an excuse to provide justification for those who stayed overseas and were unwilling to come back.
A former young genius was sent to study abroad, but he was unwilling to return to his country and chose to stay and work overseas.
It has been reported in many news.
Therefore, some people feel that it is understandable for others to pursue higher salary and better academic environment, and they feel that everyone should understand each other.
But the same rebuttal thought: "Others have such reasons, but not him, because, first of all, he can be said to be a domestically trained talent, and sending him to study abroad is also at public expense. Such an opportunity is
The country gave it to him!”
Of course, this kind of discussion will never lead to a conclusion.
Li Yi naturally knew about this topic, and it was a hot topic. People came and went, and the debate went back and forth.
But he didn't get involved.
Mu Qing asked Li Yi how he viewed this issue.
Li Yi's answer at the time was simple: "Yes, this is his personal choice and pursuit, and there is nothing wrong with it. However, such a person is indeed not worthy of praise.
We only need to praise people like Lu Guangda. As for other people, no matter how many reasons are given to defend him, it still cannot change the fact that he has made no contribution to this country!"
Back to the movies.
"Survival of the World" is very good, with high box office and good reputation.
In terms of box office, it is close to one billion a week. This kind of box office is obviously not enough for Li Yi when he was at his peak in the past. However, in the current weak box office environment of main theme movies, the commercial elements of the movie itself are not enough.
In other words, such results are enough to be called excellent.
As for the style of this movie, many people are surprised, because, who is Li Yi?
He is the best at making people cry and making love, but in this movie, there is actually very little love-making part.
Yan Yizhi, a Ph.D. in literature and art from Shanghai Modu University, gave a different review.
“In the past two days, I heard a lot of people mention the movie “Born in the Sky” and my interest was aroused, so I went to the cinema to watch it.
This movie is indeed very exciting and moving, but what interests me more is one of the points - which may also partly explain why this movie is so moving.
That is to say, although it is a very "main theme" movie, the period of history it depicts itself contains a lot of drama and is grand enough, so it can be shot very "lively" and "enthused and exciting";
However, it chose a very "restrained" or "implicit" way of expression. It is "contained" in many places, producing a unique aesthetic effect that combines revolutionary romanticism and classical aesthetics.
.
I was even more surprised when I learned that the director of this film’s past style was the ultimate in love and tear-jerking.
Because to some extent, Director Li has changed his style.
A person who dares to restrain what he is best at to tell such a story is truly worthy of the name of a famous director!
Why do we say "moderation" and "implicit"? Because there are indeed many places and parts in the film that are very suitable for fanning. Let's give a few examples.
At the beginning, the team was searching for water in Lop Nur. One of the teams disappeared, leaving only one shoe. The movie did not start with this. What did we see? A shoe was packed in a wooden box, together with a kettle, and a kettle was buried.
The commander was writing poetry next to the tomb; two soldiers were laying boundary stakes here, swinging their hammers high; the comrades collectively fired their guns into the sky, creating a solemn and speechless atmosphere. At the same time, it was also a sense of helplessness.
"naturally", in contrast, visual language is very powerful, and emotions are presented very naturally under this tension, rather than being forcefully expressed directly.
There is actually another very exciting part about the search for water. Before burying the shoes: everyone has been looking for water for a long time. The camera finally stopped on Lao Feng’s expression. His expression changed. I think he must be looking for it now.
He saw water, but his expression was not joyful or cheerful, but filled with confusion. This expression also made me very confused at the time. Why did he have such an expression? As a result, his next sentence was to ask the soldiers around him: "That is water"
Huh? This sentence completely expresses his state of mind at this time, a little bit of cautious fear. This short paragraph is better than many descriptions.
For another example, at the Fair of Immortals, General Chen was shooting at the target to calculate the number of rounds. His marksmanship was good - the number of rounds for each shot was clear and not bad at all. However, no one in the film cheered, and the plot instantly reached the next step.
We only leave the wonder to the audience. Of course, we can over-interpret it. In fact, everyone knows that he is good at shooting, so it is natural for them to be surprised. And I personally think that this of course also explains a small theme, that is, this
The project "cannot be wrong at all"; at the same time, it also portrays the image of the chief, who is precise, reliable and in control. At this point, the function of this paragraph has been achieved, and there is even more than enough. It would be a waste of space to describe it further.
This is another meaning of "control".
Another example is the dismissal of an entire engineering team; when delivering books, the two of them recited the teacher's words one after another. This could have been a happy and exciting scene, but it ended with: Haha, I'll go back and read it carefully, and it's like eating it up.
A whole forest, etc. In fact, they are all places that can be expanded in large quantities, but they are "contained", expressed to the point, and then gently put down. In my opinion, this is the place where the skills are more reflected, and the whole movie is brilliant.
The place.
What's even more rare is that even the affectionate parts of the movie are actually very restrained. For example, in the scene of putting out the fire, although music is used, it stops abruptly and does not continue the affection!
All of this is very different from the main theme movies we have watched in the past, and I personally think that this is precisely the reason why this movie has received so much praise!"
