After savoring a work carefully, what insights did you gain from watching it this time? For this reason, you need to write down your reflections carefully. Are you at a loss for what you think after watching it now? The following is the review of "Heavenly Generals" that I collected for everyone. It is for reference only. You are welcome to read it. Thoughts after watching "Heavenly Generals" 1
Over the years, the Roman Empire and the Han Dynasty, which once coexisted in history, have been compared countless times, comparing territory, economy, military, etc. Wait, there is one kind of comparison that is more interesting, that is, the Han Dynasty defeated the Huns, and Rome was destroyed by the Huns. Another comparison is that the territory of the Roman Empire at its peak was 10 million square kilometers, and the territory of the Han Dynasty was at most 20xx million square kilometers, no matter how you compare it, it can exaggerate the power of China.
The reason for these comparisons is also because the two super powerful regimes, divided into China and the West, coexisting, have almost no contact, whether it is cultural exchanges or military encounters on the battlefield, but "Heaven" "General's Army" gives us such an opportunity, allowing the Roman army to have a fight with the guards at the border of the Western Regions, and also allowing the Roman generals who protect the little prince to have a fight with the Great Protector of the Western Regions of the Han Dynasty. A sympathetic collaboration.
The historical truth can no longer be tested, but such a war is not impossible. Although as an entertainment and commercial blockbuster, "Heavenly Generals" has various interpretations, Zhan Taifeng is still more We are willing to regard the film as a salvage operation in the long river of history. At least we can see the cold weapon war between the East and the West through the big screen, and we can also see the collision and exchange of Eastern and Western cultures. The ancient city of Liyang, built together with the Roman army, has buried many secrets. And the legendary Roman army that disappeared in China may have had a tragic past as imagined.
Therefore, this film is a typical combination of Chinese and Western films. It has both the glorious Western Han Dynasty that we are familiar with and the soldiers and horses in the desert, as well as the glorious Roman Empire that is common in Hollywood and is invincible. Many countries along the Silk Road are sometimes involved in this battle to defend honor and dignity. The film also stars an international cast, including Jackie Chan, John Cusack, and Adrien Brody, as well as Cui Siyuan, Lin Peng, Wang Ruoxin, Chopstick Brothers, Simon Zi, Feng Shaofeng and other stars, which is satisfying. It meets the needs of audiences from all walks of life and takes a one-size-fits-all approach.
In fact, the most commendable thing about this film is the desolation of the border desert and the majesty of the battle between the two armies.
The critical moment of thousands of troops confronting each other is powerful enough and full of suspense. However, the film is not only focused on war scenes. The depiction of conspiracy and civil strife in the Roman palace is as gorgeous as any Hollywood blockbuster. The majestic Roman style, the well-organized Roman army, and the fierce and majestic Roman fighters all show the style of an international blockbuster. The generals of the Western Regions, led by Jackie Chan, also showed the audience the majesty of Chinese civilization. Not only were the battles majestic, but the close-up street battles in the film also captured the power of tigers and tigers. The action scenes were more intense and exciting than American blockbusters. Thoughts after watching "Heroes" 2
During the Spring Festival, I watched Jackie Chan's New Year's film "Heroes". I felt that it was really shot very grandly. It has the epic feel of a North American war blockbuster and a Jackie Chan movie. With the usual action comedy style, it can be regarded as a double enjoyment of sight and hearing. Otherwise, it would be really difficult to win more than 400 million yuan in box office from the first to the sixth day of the first lunar month during the fiercely competitive Spring Festival period, especially when eight new films are "grabbing money" at the same time.
The opening battle of the film retains many kung fu comedy routines commonly used in Jackie Chan's past films, which also makes the audience mistakenly think that Jackie Chan will continue to fight in this style. However, from the group fight at Yanmen Pass to the encounter with Lucrez, the first Roman warrior, it has been predicted that Jackie Chan's film will be different from any previous one, especially the showdown between the Eastern and Western formations in the film, which provides the final scene for the film. A comprehensive preparation for the final decisive battle. Until you watch the entire film, you have to admire Jackie Chan. He not only created the image of an ancient Chinese action hero, but also trained Oscar-winning actor Adrien Brody, who has always been famous in the film industry for his literary niche. He has become a master of action scenes. The decisive killings and fierce actions of Eastern and Western heroes make people feel that this is not like a domestic blockbuster, but a standard Hollywood war blockbuster. The tense plot, exciting fights, and atmospheric scenes will make people's blood boil, adrenaline surge, and their spirits will be particularly high.
What I particularly want to emphasize is that Jackie Chan’s blockbuster is undoubtedly the highest-quality Chinese-language film in recent years, and it is not inferior to any war blockbuster in Hollywood. Jackie Chan's most successful part is that he perfectly blends the epic feel of North American war blockbusters with the essence of Chinese action movies. It is both majestic and meticulous, and more layered, making it truly fascinating to watch.

During the winter vacation, my mother and I watched the movie "The Heroes of Heaven" starring Uncle Jackie Chan. Uncle Jackie Chan is my idol. Most of the movies he made represent a kind of justice and show a kind of positive energy, which are worth watching.
The movie tells the story of the Western Han Dynasty. On the Silk Road in the Western Regions, thirty-six ethnic groups often fought for territory. The soldiers of the Duhu Mansion headed by Huo An organized a peacekeeping force and went everywhere. He broke up fights, maintained peace in the surrounding area, and was welcomed by people. Later, he was framed by bad guys and sent to Yanmen Pass to repair the city together with the soldiers.
At this time, the Roman Empire was experiencing disaster. The Roman emperor was old and wanted to pass the throne to the younger prince because he was kind-hearted and knew rewards and punishments, but the older prince disagreed. The Roman emperor had long known the ambition of the eldest prince, and privately signed a "peace agreement" with the Queen of Parthia. As long as Rome was in danger, Parthia would send troops to assist. In order to ascend to the throne, the eldest prince did not hesitate to kill his father and poison his brother's eyes. After doing this, he bribed the governor of the Western Regions and asked him to frame Huo An and others and send them to Yanmen Pass to be exiled. Because the eldest prince wanted to rule the entire Silk Road, and the Protectorate was to maintain the harmony of the Silk Road. The general Lu Kuisi who protected the little prince took the little prince to Yanmen Pass for refuge. He and Huo An didn't know each other, and eventually became good friends. The eldest prince colluded with the governor of the Western Regions internally and externally, and chased him all the way to Yanmen Pass. Huo An and Lu Kuisi joined hands to contact the thirty-six ethnic groups on the Silk Road and the Parthian Kingdom, and finally defeated the eldest prince.
This film tells us: justice ultimately defeats evil. As long as we are united, nothing can stop us from moving forward! Thoughts after watching "The Great Army" 5
Desert The lonely smoke is straight, the sun is setting over the long river, every word of Wang Wei is an aerial shot, this is outside the Great Wall during the Kaiyuan period of the Tang Dynasty, and then push the timeline forward to the Western Han Dynasty during the Yuan Emperor, the desert in "Heavenly Generals" The fight between the two heroes in the desert is more like a flashback to the scenes in Wang Wei's works.
From the perspective of large-scale layout and large-scale production, this is a blockbuster film that can rival Hollywood, and this film has something that Hollywood blockbusters can only hope to achieve, that is, the long history of China. Hollywood can only learn more from the future and outer space. To expand, the Battle of Chengpu, the Battle of Guiling, the Battle of Julu, and the Battle of Chibi are all epic in Chinese history. Each battle is enough to make more than three Hollywood-style epic blockbusters, and of course it is indispensable. In the same dynasty as the movie, Li Mu defeated the Xiongnu in the Yanmen War. Director Li Rengang's "Heavenly Generals" adapted from real history reveals the dust-laden loyalty of men in more dimensions and angles.
More and more movies use warm men to please and flatter female audiences, but whether they are male or female audiences, they always reserve a place in their hearts for upright good men. Director Li Rengang’s previous " "Three Kingdoms", "The Golden Guards" and "Hongmen Banquet" can all see the overlord spirit in the male bones. This time, Jackie Chan plays the Western Region Protectorate, who is framed by an adulterer and demoted. The show of a true man's ability to bear humiliation has eliminated the tendency of male characters in current movies to be feminine. In the past, male viewers who accompanied their girlfriends to watch warm-hearted movies would fall asleep by calling them "sissies" in their hearts. This time, they were able to involuntarily cheer up. The war scenes are second to none in Hollywood and will make the blood of the male audience get excited. A male audience member wearing clothes that do not show off his flesh has already exposed his biceps. Every hot-blooded man has a feeling of gearing up when he sees the war coming. eager to try.
This is the way the Roman army went out to fight in "Armageddon" which is better than "Gladiator". Oscar winner Brody and Hollywood actor Cusack are the stars of this blockbuster. The strong guarantee of Hollywood quality. The great prince and the first warrior of the Roman Empire, who are freely retractable and devoted, can allow the audience to clearly see the differences and similarities between their characters and those of Orientals. This makes this film completely based on the world of Hollywood. Configure the perspective. "The second handsomest man in the world" Choi Siwon only appeared in a few appearances, but he was able to outline the palace and scheming of Huo An, the deputy general Yinpo. Another young actor who was not noticed before and would open his mouth "It's him" after seeing it was a young actor. Simone, the handsome and stylish man in "Year One" plays the role of the little Roman prince. For the nymphomaniac female viewers, seeing this series of handsome guys is very exciting.
When it comes to war scenes, it’s not just good looks that can do it. The battle between Huo An and the ancient Roman generals makes the one-on-one battle between ancient masters from different regions that comes to every man’s mind a reality. The cold sandbank, A colder weapon, the patterns on the heavy sword are dyed with blood. The bow and arrow fly more gracefully than the bullets. The scimitar and the crescent moon reflect each other. In the film, the glamorous girl who is good at using the scimitar is just the name. Leng Yue, if a war of the same level occurs between mountains and plains, there will be a lot of blood. But if it occurs in the desert, the blood shed by the two armies is not enough to quench the thirst of the sand. This makes the cruelty of the war clear to more people. People, fighting is for the sake of not fighting, especially the soldiers who regard "conquering the enemy without fighting" as the highest victory.
From the perspective of civilization alone, the desert is not barren. The ships on the seabed will be discovered by future generations who dive into the seabed. The grand city outlines on the land will be dug three feet into the ground to find them. The desert only leaves behind a sound. As a dictation, it is a pity that humans cannot understand it. In the film, the young princes and generals of the Roman Empire who fled to the Western Regions during the struggle for the throne also left a mystery. There is a village in Gansu whose residents have green eyes and flaxen hair. It is said that a Roman legion was captured after losing the war. Every grain of sand on the desert is a piece of history, and the desert has always been the most loyal and silent bystander. "Heavenly Generals" is a blockbuster film worth understanding and chewing, and it contains a considerable amount of information. , and the faces of more people in the city are occupied by skin care products, and they have long lost the kinetic energy of the whole body when the sand and gravel touch the skin, the electric light and flint. What people in the desert cannot find is just the north of the direction, while people in the city There are signs on every road, but I can't find my destination. The desert is soft and soft with silk roads, especially the people on the desert. Thoughts after watching "Army of Heaven" 6
The structure of this movie is very interesting. It is based on the legend of the disappearance of the Roman army in the East. It borrows the story about the Protectorate of the Western Regions to protect the Silk Road to expand its imagination and bring out the world's civilization. The great civilizations in history, the Han Dynasty, the Thirty-two Kingdoms of the Western Regions, and Rome were linked together. It should be said that the biggest highlight of this film lies in the idea that the film wants to convey to the audience: any race or nationality can understand and tolerate each other, especially the seemingly opposite civilizations of the East and West, can create civilizations through blending and cooperation. Miracles, but in confrontation and conflict, both sides can only lose.
First of all, the image of East and West shown in the film. Huo An represents the image of traditional China. Huo An's attitude towards Lucrez's "turning the enemy into existence" is also the traditional Chinese attitude towards foreign countries: in a way of exchange, cooperation and prosperity rather than in a way of conquest and aggression. Just like "Zheng He's voyages to the West", the way we get out is through the exchange of materials and cultural exchanges, rather than the expansionary plundering during the Western capitalist period. The establishment of the "Protectorate of the Western Regions" itself in history is also a reflection of this attitude, because the "Protectorate of the Western Regions" itself is not set up as a management agency for the Western Regions, but as a regulatory agency to ensure the stability of the Western Regions, rather than as the Xiongnu When he ruled the Western Regions, he imposed taxes and deprived other people of their interests.
In terms of Western images, Lucius and Thebes represent two types of Western images respectively.
Lukes represents the Western image of friendship, communication and exchange. Working together with Huo An and others, they not only completed the miracle of building the city wall in 15 days, but also achieved emotional harmony and harmony among soldiers from Rome, various countries in the Western Regions, and the Han Dynasty in their lives together. *Existence, not only can they support and help each other, but they can also make people laugh. When Huo An and others sang Chinese songs, and then the Luques sang Roman songs, this kind of unity that transcended languages ??and nationalities The 15 days in Yanmen Pass seem to have truly reached the ideal of the so-called "universal world"; on the other hand, Tibes represents a hostile and conquering image of the West. Bisi is an image of a rebellious son who kills his father and brother for personal power (this kind of imagination is very common in the history of Western literature). At the same time, his great ambition also peeks at the Silk Road of the Han Dynasty and the 32 countries of the Western Regions. territory. The final result of this conquering attitude must be war.
Regarding the war, the director’s attitude is clearly revealed, with a strong humanitarian tone. This is shown in the film that war brings only the pain of death to people, and no one is a winner. In the scene, when the Western countries were fighting against the Roman army, the director did not deliberately depict the heroic fighting of the Western countries who were supposed to be the righteous side. Instead, he showed the bloodshed of the war through long shots of everyone being killed in the war. and cruelty, here, the director gives equal value to life. Everyone is equal in front of life. Regardless of friend or foe, life is the most precious.
The result of the war naturally ended with the death of Tibes. However, the film did not exaggerate this atmosphere of victory, but was immersed in a sad atmosphere. Because war brings carnage and death, it brings everyone the separation of friends and loved ones. There is only pain but no victory. This is related to the director's attitude and stance.
At the same time, the final showdown between Huo An and Tibes is also very interesting. As a positive figure, Huo An did not have the upper hand in the battle. Instead, he retreated steadily until he turned defeat into victory at the moment when he was about to be killed. Here There is a scene of memories about Lucis, which means that the death of Lucis gave him the courage and strength to defeat Thebes. Here the director deliberately weakened the heroism of the protagonist, but gave more spiritual value and belief. It can be said that in the end, spiritual "faith" defeated the enemy.
What exactly is this spiritual “belief”? We will understand when we recall what Lucius said before his death: In fact, it was the "Yanmen Pass" they completed together in 15 days. "This city we built together is a city without fear, persecution, and humiliation." "Yanmen Pass" is a symbol of the harmonious world where everyone is equal and harmonious. This reflects the director's hopes and ideals for the world: I hope that Western civilization can put aside the desire for conquest and aggression and sincerely communicate with Eastern civilization. Only when Eastern and Western civilizations understand and support each other can the world be like this "Yanmen Pass" , mankind can truly have a future. Thoughts after watching "Army of Heaven" 7
During this year's holiday, there were some trivial matters at home and no travel arrangements. However, in order to adjust our lives, our family made a contribution to Xingmei Cinema. Throughout the holiday, Watched all the videos.
Let’s talk about the movie "Heavenly Generals". I have been paying attention to the trailer of this movie for a long time because it stars the 61-year-old Jackie Chan's eldest brother. I have always admired his professionalism and look forward to it. Finally, on the first day of release, my husband and I took our children to watch the film.
Let’s briefly talk about the content of the movie: During the reign of Emperor Yuan of the Western Han Dynasty, Huo An (played by Jackie Chan), the governor of the Western Regions Protectorate, was framed by a traitor, reduced to slavery, and was sent to Yanmen Pass to build the city. At this time, the Roman general Lucius (played by John Cusack) escorted the young Roman prince (played by Simon Zi) who was persecuted by his brother and fled to Yanmen Pass. The two heroes met in the Gobi Desert of the Western Region. From the beginning of fighting, they became sympathetic to each other, and finally turned enemies into friends. One day, when Huo An went around to clear his grievances, he accidentally discovered the ulterior secret between his good brother Yin Po (played by Choi Siwon) and the Roman prince Tibes (played by Adrien Brody). . At the same time, Thebes personally led his troops to the Western Region in order to hunt down Luques and the little prince. In order to protect the safety of the little prince and the countries in the Western Regions, Huo An and Lu Kuis teamed up with Tibes to start a life and death battle in the Gobi Desert...
Movie evaluation: The box office of this movie Very high. There are mixed reviews for this film on the Internet. Some say "Army of Heaven" is Jackie Chan's best movie in recent years.
My feelings: "Heroes of Heaven" is a big-budget film, and the scenes throughout the film are very spectacular and grand, vividly showing the openness and desolation of the western region and the far-reaching and vastness of the Silk Road. There is a touching feeling. This film cannot be considered a typical Jackie Chan action film. There are not many fighting scenes, not very exciting, and nothing new. It's a war movie. Jackie Chan has been promoting themes many times in the film, calling for "world peace, national unity, and brotherhood" in line with the country's requirements. This idea is closely aligned with the country's needs.
Thoughts after watching "Army of Heaven" 8
Jackie Chan once took the audience into the vast desert in "Eagle Project". At that time, when he was young, hunting for treasures and picking up girls was the most important thing in life. With the increase of age and experience, I began to preset the theme direction based on my thoughts, from "Kung Fu Dream" to "Twelve Zodiac Signs" to this "Army of Heavenly Generals", with the genre model of Hollywood's "main theme" film and "pledge to turn troubled times into auspiciousness" "The ambition to speak out on more aspects of history, culture, politics, peace, humanity, values, etc.
The incident in "Heavenly Generals" originated from the Silk Road. This is the main road for economic, political, and cultural exchanges between the East and the West. It is an ancient road for commercial trade connecting Asia, Africa, and Europe. Route, Jackie Chan, who was the Grand Protector of the Western Regions at that time, formed a super team with Cui Siyuan, Lin Peng, the Chopstick Brothers and others to supervise the border guards of Antu for the Western Han Dynasty, and coordinate conflicts and disputes among the countries in the Western Regions. Stop the intrusion of external forces and ensure the smooth flow of the Silk Road.
Thousands of years of yellow sand has not concealed the style of the famous general, and the epic background setting gave Jackie Chan a very appealing performance. After establishing a friendship with the escaped Roman general John Cusack, the film started from The power of "technology" was demonstrated in the restoration of the construction of the city wall, which quickly evolved into a military confrontation between the Western Han Dynasty and ancient Rome. Protecting the life and safety of the little prince and maintaining the peace of all ethnic groups have become the responsibilities that the two of them must bear. On the Silk Road, a war began that cannot be submerged by history.
The Roman legions in the imperial era were famous for a while. The Roman military formation was considered to "represent the perfect pinnacle of Western military technological achievements." The film also focuses on reproducing the power of the Roman legions during this period-light cavalry, heavy cavalry, and heavy cavalry. Javelin soldiers, heavy infantry, pikemen, cavalry and other arms formed an indestructible military formation. The outermost heavy infantry used shields to form a "tortoise shell formation", and a bloody killing began in the yellow sand.
Jackie Chan, who has given up on jumping, leaping, moving and funny kung fu, has partnered with Hong Kong director Li Rengang, who has filmed many period films such as "The Dragon Disarms" and "A Banquet at Hongmen", showing his ability to control grand scenes. , whether it is the majesty of Yanmen Pass, the vastness of the desert Gobi, or the grandeur of the legion's killing array, they are all clearly visible under the director's lens. This is also something that exceeds the expectations of moviegoers. A film completely dominated by Chinese people shows the scale and temperament of a Hollywood commercial blockbuster.
The film also explores and displays human nature on a deeper level. Choi Si-won, who only has a few scenes, interprets Yin Po, a very ambitious lieutenant, in a profound way. His scheming and desire, martial arts and conspiracy all reflect human nature. Weaknesses: The tragic stories of Yantou and Mouse coincide with the characters that the Chopsticks brothers have always created. Coupled with Lin Peng's heroic coolness and bold character, the film always exudes a sense of humor. Passion and passion.
The villain Adrien Brody adds a lot of color to the film. The final battle between the two of them has the ceremony and brutality of "Gladiator", which ultimately adds to the story. Loyalty and betrayal, dignity and glory are deeply interpreted. History is always commented by future generations. People in the center of the whirlpool are always confused by the authorities. When the traces of history are lost in the years, there will always be someone who sweeps away the yellow sand and gives people Look at the glory of the Iron Horse.
