As a war movie in the late Qing Dynasty, Battle of the Dragon certainly has many shortcomings, especially when Cao Yunjin is proud, it is easy for people to ponder. However, with the feelings of home and country and Liu Peiqi's dedication, the overall evaluation is acceptable, and it is not a waste to spend two hours reading it! Relatively speaking, the score of Douban 6.4 is biased!
At the beginning of the film, the brutality and extravagance of the French people, wantonly burning and killing, digging graves and slaughtering villages, were in sharp contrast with the imperial court of the Qing Dynasty, and it was never empty talk to be beaten in the back! But folks, hot-blooded men never lack! The plot of the movie also began.
Feng Zicai, who retired from the countryside, relied on his entreaties to form a township group to protect his family by killing the enemy! At the recruitment scene, Feng Xiangxian, played by Cao Yunjin, gave an impassioned speech, much like stand-up! At that time, the "French" army was also ready to kill a village! War is on the verge! Later generations all know that history ended with China's victory, but it paid countless blood and lives. How can it be described by a movie? The battle of the dragon has been more scruple, played down a lot of inappropriate plots and pictures!
In addition to the aggression and conflict between countries in the film, the conflict between factions and ideas in the court is another main plot! Do you decide before you move, retreat all of you, or fight before you discuss?
Feng Zicai represents a more bloody person, but in the eyes of the imperial court, he is foolhardy and useless, but Feng Zicai keeps beating the Qing court with victory! In particular, it was brave to design a solo contest between Feng Zicai and the French Black Brother, but Feng Zicai said to our people: French barbarians also have meat! That's the truth. Many times, people are always defeated by unknown fears. If fear is eliminated, the result must be victory! Sure enough, when Feng Zicai killed French blacks, people shouted: Easy hair can be killed, but God can't! Courage and resourcefulness are just like Feng Zicai!
The design of war scenes in the film is rough, and the design of war strategy and actor dialogue is not refined and elegant enough. Even occasionally there are inappropriate scenes, and several plays by the French old man general and the oriental woman make people feel very inappropriate!
In the last chapter of the film, the forest was flooded by the fire, and with the roar of tigers and dragons in Feng Zicai, it fell from the sky and was easily burned and slaughtered like locusts! The weak will never be the weak forever, and the awakened Oriental Dragon can compete with the barbarians in the tiny place!
The end of realism left some discomfort, even a sense of vomiting. The French people's pity for oriental women is dull, and the Qing government's means of seeking peace after a small victory is mean and clumsy! A little out of place, but just right, tell us this is history!
