In fact, to a certain extent, "Survival of the World" does not have many obvious commercial elements compared to main theme films such as "Wolf Warrior".
For big scenes, you can say yes or no.
Because this is strictly a feature film, there are no fighting scenes or car chases in the film. The whole film is more about telling such a story in detail.
But maybe it's because there's no harm without comparison, or maybe it's because the audience has really had enough of all the messy so-called theme blockbusters without any sincerity during this period, so "Born Out of the Sky" seems to be particularly rare.
So, just look at the comments that are paying attention.
"I used to feel that the characters in the main theme were too perfect and unreal. After "Garland Under the Mountain", I was finally satisfied, because every character in it has its own characteristics and is very real. But I don't know when to start, those directors The screenwriter doesn’t know what he’s thinking, but we all have shortcomings, including heroes, but we can’t have bad views, right?
Fortunately, "Born Out of the Sky" is here, and I finally regained my confidence in the main theme movie. The characters of Lu Guangda, Li Yizhou, Feng Shi, Wang Huiru, etc. are not so perfect, but they are impressive and memorable. It’s endless aftertaste, sighing and shocking! "
"Sincerity, sincerity, still sincerity, what impressed me most about "The World" is that the sincerity of this movie, especially the small details in it, can really beat other recent blockbusters with the main theme. And what's rare is that, As the most affectionate director, since he is restrained and restrained this time, such a movie will not make people feel abrupt, and even if it is touching, it will not make people feel that it is deliberately fanning, it will be natural!"
“It’s rare for a movie to portray group portraits so successfully, it makes me feel like I’m back in “Wreaths Under the Mountain”, every character is so lifelike.
Feng Shi is both a decorated general and a poet;
Lu Guangda, a Ph.D. graduate from MIT who loves drinking coffee and listening to Italian songs;
Or maybe it was Wang Huiru, the wife of Lu Guangda who was also an intellectual, who left a deep impression on people.
People want to believe that they are real people, rather than either illusory and perfect symbols, or flawed heroes with unacceptable shortcomings. "
"Whether it's Lu Guangda, who returned to China to engage in atomic bomb research despite the persuasion of his American mentors and classmates to stay, they "even if they use an abacus, they still have to type it out for me." Scratch paper can cover the entire desert.
Still, after receiving the order, he led the army to Feng Shi, who was developing the Mogu bomb base in Lop Nur. "The war at home is over! The war abroad is over too! We were not allowed to wear red and colorful decorations and hold a celebration party! We were not allowed to go home to visit our parents! With an order, you followed the party to the Gobi Desert. So far, your family has Our relatives don’t know where we are!” The officers and soldiers were not afraid of hardships.
Or, those scientists with glasses who are seriously ill due to difficult research conditions, wives who have no complaints, leaders who respect science and value talents, and meticulous workers all make me, as a young man in the new era, sigh! "
So, after the official release.
This movie is still getting rave reviews, even if there are slightly lower reviews, it's just because of the lackluster pace of this movie.
Of course, "Born Out of the Sky" does not follow the traditional three-part structure of commercial movies.
In fact, the film does not have much ups and downs, and the real explosion only occurs at the last moment.
Of course, in Li Yi's opinion, this type of film is not considered a commercial blockbuster, so there is no need to insist on following that model.
Generally speaking, after a movie is officially released, the movie's ratings will inevitably drop due to the increase in the number of people watching the movie. However, on the first day of the release of "Turn Out", Dazhong Film Review Network and several other movie review platforms, Surprisingly, the ratings didn't fluctuate much.
This is enough proof of the excellence of this movie.
Zhao Guangming pays more attention to the first-day box office of this movie than Li Yi. Although "The World" has a good reputation, sometimes a good reputation does not mean a high box office.
Although it is a bit biased to only look at the box office, for Zhao Guangming, at the moment, the main theme movie does need a shot of encouragement, and the box office is undoubtedly the most convincing.
Then after the first day's box office was released, his hanging heart was finally relieved.
The first-day box office of 120 million yuan is not particularly high compared to other Li Yi's main theme movies, but after all, "The World" is not that commercial in comparison.
Therefore, it is enough to have such a box office.
And this is in today's environment where the mainstream is watching movies with bad main themes. It is satisfying enough for such a movie to have such a box office.
Whether a movie is popular or not depends not only on word-of-mouth and box office, but also on the popularity of the topic.
There are still a lot of topics about "The Birth of the World".
For example: What moments in this movie made you cry?
"I saw all the scientific researchers using abacus to verify the calculation results. I thought of the Big Brother expert saying before leaving: "Just this, it will take you two years to calculate using a calculator. It is meaningless...", that moment I can’t hold back my tears!”
"When Li Yizhou put out the fire with his hands and rescued the burned drawings, when the song "Chasing Dreams" sounded, he cried like a fool!"
"Lu Guangda went home for the second time because he thought Big Brother's drawing data was wrong. That time, when he saw Wang Huiru making coffee for him and trying to bring it to him, but was stopped, as a woman, it was really difficult for her to I can't help it, because that feeling is so uncomfortable, and all of this is their own choice! Lu Guangda loves his wife deeply, and she does the same, but he can't even give her a hug. It's really It’s so uncomfortable!”
"There are actually many places in the film that, according to the level of director Gou, could be used to express love, but he didn't. For example, he was looking for a scene in Danshui, but the movie didn't show it. For example, three thousand people had diarrhea, and two hundred people were lying down, such as Yushugou. All the elm leaves were eaten up, etc. These difficulties were not shown in the movie, but I don’t know why, when I listened to it, I couldn’t help but cry!”
"Wang Huiru was crying like a child in the water. When she couldn't find the coffee, she really couldn't help it!"
“I don’t know if you have noticed, but at that moment when the last soldier was holding the photo, I burst into tears, because although the movie did not tell us how many people died because of this, it is conceivable that such a harsh environment, If we are still engaged in this kind of research, how many people will die?”
"The scene when Li Yizhou fell down was really tear-jerking!"
