Although, some people are not particularly willing to believe that a main theme movie can get such a high score.
Although "Garland Under the Mountain" has received such a score, even Li Yi himself has not dared to say that any of the main theme movies he shot later can compare with "Garland Under the Mountain".
But this time, it can be truly said that the film "Born Out of the Sky" lives up to its title.
Among the main theme movies, they began to appear in large numbers, began to be criticized in large numbers, and began to withdraw from the market in large numbers. When the ratings of each main theme movie were lowered and lowered, "The World" had almost zero bad reviews. The reviews make it hard not to wonder, is it really that good?
Soon, Zhou Qingquan, who was already the editor-in-chief of "Film Weekly", wrote a long review specifically for "The World" in his column.
""The Birth of the Sky" is a classic with a romantic theme!"
"As for the main theme movies, even those with high ratings, it will inevitably be criticized, either for over-emphasis on the glorious deeds of a certain character, or for being more or less preachy, or for being overly sentimental. , over-emphasis on difficulties, but this movie is different from these, it can truly be called "coming out of the blue"!
So why do I use words like romance to describe this movie, which is indeed the main theme movie?
Where is the romance?
Let's listen to Lao Zhou explain in detail!
The first is the romance of the striver - always passionate. I have always liked the stories that happened before and after the founding of the People's Republic of China. I always feel that the people of that era were very pure, and only the stories of that era can make my blood boil.
A movie can have no family ties, no friendship, or even love, but it can never be without passion. Amidst the lifeless and languid moans and groans, there should always be a roar to cheer up the national spirit.
The film opens with an exaggerated sound of stamping, and the picture shows archive materials that are lifeless and emotionless.
"Are you willing to remain anonymous for the rest of your life?" A simple sentence weighs as much as a thousand pounds. For intellectuals represented by Lu Guangda, the biggest sacrifice is not giving up superior living conditions, but spiritual loneliness. If Lu Guangda had not resolutely devoted himself to the Gobi Desert, maybe he would have won the Nobel Prize. Material benefits are not important to intellectuals; all they need is affirmation. And Lu Guangda gave up all his honor and aura, gave up his family, and even gave up this affirmation. There is a kind of perseverance in giving up, "anonymity for a lifetime." This is the unwavering loyalty to the motherland in the face of loneliness and depression, in the face of suspicion and censorship.
In the west, a group of volunteers mysteriously disappeared on their way back home. If Lu Guangda's sacrifice was his conscious choice, then the sacrifice of the soldiers was the mission given to them by the country.
In the vast Gobi desert, a team meanders forward. There is a saying in the team: "I don't know what to do, and I don't know where to go." Compared with the great national defense cause, they are small individuals, rewriting history without knowing anything. And they have no regrets, work equally hard, and make the same sacrifices. At this time, heroic music came, and a tragic feeling arose in my heart. There is a sublimity in the unconditional obedience of these unknown heroes to their motherland, a purer sublimity that makes me stand in awe.
Whether it was Lu Guangda's rationality to abide by his faith or the soldier's emotion of being loyal to the motherland, when a loud noise shocked the whole world, they all turned into heartfelt excitement and joy. The film truly reproduces the scene of that year, and what permeates the cheering crowd is the simple happiness of realizing one's ideals with firm belief that is difficult for contemporary people to understand.
The film is ambitious, but it is also romantic. Burning passion is expressed poetically. The protagonist Feng Shi is a poet himself. He compares the mushroom bomb project to writing big poems and good poems. This kind of revolutionary romanticism makes him very charming. From the eager anticipation of "the eternal dream of flying to the sky, when will I reach the ninth heaven", to the singing in the yellow sand sky, to the flash of tears when the mushroom clouds rise, the revolutionary passion turns into sonorous verses.
When we talk about romance, we usually talk about love, but after watching this movie, we will find that a friendship that cherishes each other can also be so romantic.
It can be said that friendship is definitely the most unexpected gain that this movie brought me.
One of them is a distinguished general, and the other is an intellectual. From an industry and cognitive level, Feng Shi and Lu Guangda should be in two different worlds in many cases.
As the saying goes, birds of a feather flock together, so the first meeting between the two of them was not so pleasant.
They have estrangements and even disputes, which is bound to happen. Because their conflicts represent various conflicts in concepts and styles between intellectuals and soldiers. This conflict and the twists and turns of the relationship between the two make the film dramatic and make friendship a major highlight of the film.
They had two arguments, the first over water. Lu Guangda's meticulousness and uncompromisingness taught Feng Shi a lesson, making Feng Shi realize that he was working with serious intellectuals, and that Feng Shi was facing a life-or-death project.
The second dispute was about whether to use car groups that violated regulations. I think it was Feng Shi who taught Lu Guangda a lesson this time. He wanted Lu Guangda to understand that his soldiers are not cold data or machines, but brothers who share life and death. Mugu bombs cannot be produced by technology alone, but also by the warriors' bravery and sacrifice. Their daring loyalty cannot be hurt.
But in some respects, the two of them are the same kind of people. They also love this motherland deeply and are equally willing to sacrifice everything for it.
So they were the same kind of people. Lu Guangda knew it and Feng Shi also knew it. Therefore, they gradually began to be infected by each other's personality charm.
So there was Lu Guangda's talk by the fire that night, then Feng Shi's uncontrollable confession under the sunset, the smiles at each other on the plane, the tightly held hands in the crowd, every detail made me feel like a man. It turns out that spiritual dialogue can be so intoxicating.
Isn't this romantic enough? People who sacrifice everything for each other's common cause are always the same kind of people!
They cherish each other, even though Feng Shi doesn't understand nuclear physics, and even though Lu Guangda doesn't understand leading troops in war, at this time, they are both the best in their respective fields!
Of course, romance also includes love.
In fact, the love between Lu Guangda and his wife Wang Huiru is not mentioned much in the film, but those four hugs are intoxicating.
He returned home and looked for his toothbrush and coffee, but she said with tears in his eyes: "You haven't been back for thirteen months!"
He gave her the first hug, which contained his endless guilt and apology.
The most unforgettable thing was the second one. They were so close but seemed so far away. They were obviously the closest couple, but he couldn't even give him a hug.
But they all restrain themselves, restrain themselves!
The third one is in the shack that serves as a temporary home. The warmth under the dim light makes people feel warmer. The fourth one is the tearful embrace at the moment of victory;
】
The love between them makes people sigh. Sometimes, true romantic love may just be a hug! "
