Chapter 560: Children should be allowed to watch more movies like this
But Li Yi didn't expect that the topic of whether "War Meridian" was suitable for children to watch would be so hotly debated.
This is really not what their propaganda intended.
Because as far as Li Yi is concerned, he has no such considerations.
There is no rating system for domestic movies, which means that when many parents take their children to watch movies, their first choice must be animated movies.
The main target audience for a movie like "War Meridian" is still an adult audience.
Or for older underage viewers, such as children in the early childhood age group, Li Yiben didn't have any idea.
Because from a cinematic point of view, although this movie does not show too many bloody scenes, even if it involves sacrifice, it is more realistic than real.
For example, Cao'er, the art troupe, or the trumpet, even the sacrifice of the last veteran did not show a bloody scene.
But after all, this movie sacrificed too many people, and there were too many scenes of dead people.
Li Yi is not an education expert. He doesn't know whether this aspect will bring psychological shadow to young children.
In fact, the topic of whether "War Meridian" is suitable for children to watch is entirely caused by "parents" on the Internet.
There was an initial debate about whether "War Meridian" was suitable for children to watch, but soon the topic deviated.
Especially when some media join this topic and when those Internet celebrities join the discussion on this topic, it actually has no direct relationship with "War Meridian".
Some people think that today's parents protect their children too much.
For example, a certain animated film was reported by parents because the little girl in the film had her hair dyed in colorful colors and always wore flashy clothes, which had a negative value orientation for children.
There are also teachers who were reported because the recommended reading list included a certain classic book in which the main character was a prostitute, parents who criticized the picture book for endorsing homosexuality, and reports of violence because a tiger eats chicken.
Bloody fairy tale book.
For this reason, some people couldn't help but raise a question: Are our children today so fragile that they can't even watch cartoons?
Ranwen
Who among us hasn’t seen Nezha when we were kids? Did anyone say that Little Dragon Girl dyed her hair? The monster steamed Tang Monk and Zhu Bajie in a steamer. Isn’t it too inhumane and bloody?
Is it too violent for Sun Wukong to fight against the Bone Demon three times?
In future cartoons, will it not even make sense for animals to talk?
Some experts believe that this kind of reporting and over-protection will only make our children receive too single information, which is not conducive to their growth.
Children's growth should not be protected by a shell made by adults or even the entire social environment, but should be a process of breaking out of the shell, right?
Nowadays, children are still children. They have not become fragile. It's just that adults think they are fragile and try every means to protect them. Children are trying their best to break the shell, but parents are trying their best to repair it. However, parents don't know.
The moment they broke out of their shells, they had already glimpsed the outside world.
Especially in this era where information is transmitted extremely quickly and the channels for obtaining information are extremely developed.
If parents don't let them see this or that, will it actually arouse their children's rebellious psychology?
And can they really not see it?
But opponents also have their own rhetoric.
They believe that children should not be exposed to those things too early. When the children grow up, they will naturally look for those things on their own. So, what is the problem with better protection when they are young?
However, this kind of controversy not only did not affect "War Meridian", but even more because of this controversy, many parents took their children into the theater to watch this movie.
According to this group of parents, other war movies may indeed be too bloody, but although many people died in "War Meridian", it did not have overly bloody scenes.
Many fans even said that Li Yi seemed to intentionally or unintentionally make the movie "War Meridian" so that children would not see it too bloody.
What's even more interesting is that "Phoenix on Fire" and "Fire Soldiers" can be said to have been shot while lying down.
Because "Phoenix" tells the story of female special forces fighting drug dealers, but there are boy scouts among the drug dealers.
Similarly, "The Heroes of Fire" is a story about fire-fighting heroes. No children died in it, but there were fire-fighting heroes who sacrificed their lives to save children. In order to highlight the image, the sacrifice scene was particularly heroic.
As a result, both movies were considered by many to be unsuitable for minors.
Xue Yibin and Lou Zhenglong both wanted to cry without tears. Fortunately, for this type of movies, generally speaking, their target audience does not include minors.
After the National Day release, I don’t know if it was affected by the fact that "War Meridian" was hailed by many as the most war movie that children should watch. As a result, on October 2, the day after it was released, the box office actually dropped.
rise again.
It has a box office of 250 million, and from media interviews and surveys at major theaters, it is not difficult to find that there are actually many parents who specially take their children to watch this movie.
However, the combined box office revenue of several other movies in the same period was not as much as "War Meridian".
Such a result was extremely surprising even to Li Yi himself.
It can only be said that in each era, because of the different social environment and background, people's preferences and concepts are also completely different.
In this memory, many people did not even know that such a movie existed in that era, but in this era, such a movie can work wonders!
Because although there are many movies with the main theme, there are too few movies of this type, movies with this kind of perspective, and movies that can arouse the public's memory of the heroes who died in that war.
After "Wreaths Under the Mountain", although there have been frequent films with main themes, many of which have good box office and reputation, most of the movies with main themes focus on some big battles.
On the contrary, there is no movie like "War Meridian" that makes people feel more immersive and real!
Therefore, although getting such a result was unexpected, to a certain extent, it is also reasonable.
What's more, this year marks the 70th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China. On such a day, it can be said that the Chinese people feel extremely proud.
Then the fine tradition of remembering the bitter and remembering the sweet will naturally be carried forward. Therefore, it is not unusual to watch a movie like this on days like this.
Just like those old theme movies in the early years, they were not unpopular at that time, but now they feel false.
In fact, this is a change in psychological cognition.
After all, it is hard for many of us today to imagine that in those years, many people were proud of their families’ three generations of poor farmers or workers’ children.
