Chapter 1,179 A ridiculous and real war live broadcast!
Although "Eight Hundred" has not yet been released on a large scale, it has already gained enough popularity.
After all, the history involved in this film was already well known when Li Yi decided to make this film.
Recently, on the Internet, the popularity of keywords about "Eight Hundred", about the defense battle of Sihang Warehouse, etc. has been rising sharply.
It is precisely because of this period of history that it can be considered special when looking at the entire history of the Anti-Japanese War. Therefore, it has only fueled the popularity.
Naturally, film critics will not miss such an opportunity to build their reputation and popularity.
Soon, film critics began to interpret "Eight Hundred".
""Eight Hundred" is an absurd and real war live broadcast!"
"Putting aside other factors, the Sihang Warehouse defense battle can be said to be a unique battle, because it is indeed a real and absurd live broadcast of the war.
【In view of the general environment,
The audience includes journalists from Western countries, observation groups from Western countries, citizens of Shanghai, etc.
This is a war that has attracted the attention of the whole world!
I read some people's comments on the Internet about the Eight Hundred Heroes of this war, and the most common ones were "brave and persevering"!
But this is actually just a stereotype whitewashed by later generations.
After watching "Eight Hundred", I was very surprised. I was surprised that this movie did not simply show us "bravery and perseverance"!
On the contrary, it allows us to see the cowardly side of these soldiers. From the very beginning, "deserters" have been executed on the spot. The Battle of Songhu has been going on for nearly three months. As a result, the army has been retreating steadily, and its morale has been weakened.
Being distracted and unwilling to fight, Shang Hai's fall is destined to be only a matter of time.
This is especially obvious in front of the few "stragglers" who were temporarily incorporated into the 88th Division: One of the two brothers from the Hubei Security Group came to fight because he just wanted to take a look at the bustling Dashanghai, and the other was just a kid.
; Lao Tie, a soldier from the Northeast, once followed "Dashuai Zhang". He should have experienced hundreds of battles, but he became an out-and-out "coward" in Yangguai's mouth; as for the "old abacus" of the Jiangsu and Zhejiang security corps, he was
He only wants to escape for his life. He doesn't want to go into battle to kill the enemy and sacrifice his life for righteousness. He just wants to live in peace in the troubled times. The old soldier is a fat man with a sheep's crutch and likes to touch corpses to get the wages of dead people, etc., etc.
The soldiers north of the Suzhou River were tired of the war, and the people south of the Suzhou River were watching the theater. Starting from the crazy influx of refugees into the concession area, we saw a "paradise on earth" where singing and dancing continued under the billowing smoke. Coming here not only saves
Life can still be watched from the other side of the river. Whether it is a gang boss or an upper-class lady, a middle class person who never leaves his hand with a telescope, a self-employed person selling steamed buns or a small newspaper boy running errands, everyone is watching this tragic drama from their own perspective. And the people on the other side of the river are watching.
Like the soldiers, they have even less hope for this war. However, some are worried about the gunfire from the other side, while others are concerned about it as nothing to do with themselves.
I often see a saying: What kind of country is what kind of people there are. From these war-weary soldiers and people watching the theater, we seem to have witnessed the collapse of a country. But are we qualified to criticize these "simply" people?
What about the Chinese who "live in vain"? Whether he is a soldier or an ordinary citizen, he is first of all a human being, a life of flesh and blood. For any living species, survival is always his first choice.
Therefore, the director did not forcibly whitewash or reverse the "old plan" like many cliche movies. On the contrary, he always maintained this image of the character, making his greed for life and fear of death more flesh and blood. This
It is the kind of resistance that a small person can make under the ruthless crushing of the cruel era.
However, even a Chinese who stays out of the situation will quietly and subtly change after witnessing the defenders of Sihang Warehouse tenaciously blocking the Japanese army time and time again. Especially when the flag is flying over Sihang Warehouse, an indescribable emotion
Beating the heart like waves in an angry sea can be a long-lost sense of national pride, or a belief that the Chinese nation will not perish.
This scene comes from real history, and the cohesion it releases is indestructible, bringing those watching
The lively people and the defenders of Sihang Warehouse are closely connected. This explains why some people are willing to risk their lives to transport telephone coils even though they can protect themselves in the concession area.
There is no doubt that greed for life and fear of death is a normal human nature in war, but it is undeniable that the same is true of treating death as home. Everyone has a moment when blood rushes to the brain, and he may regret it later, but no one can stop him
The moment when he defied death. This was the most reckless moment in his life, and it may also be the most glorious moment in his life.
No one can tell how much faith is worth. So we saw Chen Shusheng, who had not even left a photo, tied a bag of explosives and jumped into the Japanese army's position... With a bang, he
You sacrificed your own life in exchange for the determination of the eight hundred warriors to fight to the end. From this moment on, you can truly understand the words of Deputy Xie: "The opposite side is the world, and this is the tomb." This is indeed a tomb.
If it’s not Chinese, it’s Japanese.
I believe no one can help but be moved by those eight words, "Sacrificing one's life for righteousness is what one wishes for"!
Thus, the souls of the Eight Hundred Heroes were born!
The river, which was only a few tens of meters wide, became the River Styx that separated the Yin and Yang worlds. The ruins and the debauched people were both close in front of us and yet far away in the horizon.
What is ridiculous is that it can be said that from the beginning, this war was a play. The actors' props were flesh and blood, and the director and spectators sat indifferently and watched the play fall into the abyss. Until the end of the play, the Sixing Warehouse became the last scene.
The Eight Hundred Heroes were the last batch of actors in the filming location of the play. Not a single cannonball fell in the concession area, and the scene did earn a good reputation. However, everything still did not change the situation as expected.
The fate of the country. You all know what happened next. China was dragged into the abyss of the eight-year war of resistance. The whole world became a battlefield filled with smoke. Humanity was about to experience an unprecedented catastrophe.
Therefore, the people in the movie are watching a play, and the people watching the movie are watching a play. Its tragedy has long been destined, because history is the best script.
Now let’s talk about the absurdity of this war. Nearly a hundred years have passed and this war has been recognized as a war that greatly inspired confidence in the war of resistance. However, at that time, the original intention of the top leaders of the Guo Army was just to perform.
It was just a play, and the absurd part was that the tenacity of these eight hundred heroes exceeded their expectations, so much so that in the end, they did not even dare to let these eight hundred heroes continue to guard the Sihang Warehouse.
What's even more absurd is that, by accident, what was originally a show-off war turned out to be bloody and inspired the Chinese people.
"Eight Hundred" is worthy of the title of hero. However, our heroes did not receive the honor they deserved after the war. They were even treated poorly as prisoners. Commander Xie was assassinated. The soldiers who once guarded the Sixing Warehouse
