Chapter 1
The movie tells the story of the 10 years between the Revolution of 1911 and the founding of the Communist Party of China. At that time, China was divided by warlords, the people were in dire straits, the government was incompetent, and the society was gloomy. . The country suffered from invasion by foreign enemies, and the disparity in strength caused the Qing government to constantly sue for peace and compensation. In this way, unequal treaties were signed one after another that would cause harm for decades or even hundreds of years. However, even as a victorious country sent to the Paris Peace Conference as an envoy, diplomacy still failed. Only then did I suddenly realize: a weak country has no diplomacy!
People with lofty ideals explore the way to save the country and survive in the dark, learn from the barbarians and learn skills to control the barbarians, learn aesthetics, English, law and ethics, and move forward step by step in practice with difficulty . Finally, the medical cannons of the October Revolution brought Marxism to the Chinese revolution, which Li Dazhao called "the revolution of the common people." Only by uniting the vast proletarians can China be saved, and only the "common people's revolution" can usher in fresh blood to China. Later, Li Dazhao, Chen Duxiu, Mao Zedong, and a large number of revolutionary pioneers reached communist consciousness and promoted Marxism to the vast number of workers and peasants, allowing Marxist ideas to spread throughout the land of China! Gradually, the Chinese people realized that "the revolution of the common people" was the only way to save the Chinese nation!
Then the May Fourth Movement broke out. The patriotic enthusiasm of countless college students across the country was completely aroused. "Condemn the national traitors" and "Save me China", these shouts are hoarse and stir our hearts. I can't help but feel deeply that in that turbulent era, we Communists sacrificed their lives for the survival of the country and the nation. Hot-blooded passion and indomitable fighting spirit!
When they saw Sun Yat-sen taking office as the interim president of the Republic of China, people felt excited and proud, and full of expectations for the future; when Song Jiaoren was assassinated, I wished I could step forward and kill the assassin with one shot; when Yuan Shikai For my own selfish interests, when I secretly accepted the "Twenty-one" policies that were a loss of power and humiliation to the country, I wanted to go up and crush him under my feet; when Zhang Xun knelt at Puyi's feet and cried bitterly, we were not moved by his foolish loyalty. Instead, we were worried about the idea of ??imperial power lurking in the consciousness of the Chinese people; when Chiang Kai-shek disguised himself as a medical staff and assassinated Tao Chengzhang, a member of the Liberation Society, we were worried about the serious consequences of the factional struggle within the Revolutionary Party; when Chen Duxiu, Li Dazhao, Hu Shi and others fought against When Gu Hongming conducted the debate, we can see the harshness of the struggle between old and new ideas among the high-level intellectuals at that time; when we heard the words of the Chinese representative Gu Weijun who refused to sign the "Versailles Peace Treaty", we were angry at the same time. We have to think deeply about the true meaning of "a weak country has no diplomacy" and "if it falls behind, it will be beaten."
After watching the whole movie, I felt a lot. I was shocked by that passionate era, moved by the pioneers who cared about the country and the people, and impressed by the spirit of sacrificing their lives for the country. What I most remember is Cai E's words when he said goodbye to Xiao Fengxian: "A body of seven feet has been given to the country, but it is difficult to give it to the queen." This is not an excuse, but a kind of responsibility, a responsibility that every man is responsible for the rise and fall of the world.
As a young person in the 21st century, I feel ashamed. In that turbulent era, conditions were so difficult, but our predecessors were still determined to "study for the rise of the Chinese nation." They are fully aware of the great historical mission they shoulder and use their youth to write historical legends.
I still remember that in the film, the young Mao Zedong traveled from Changsha, Hunan to Beijing alone. He had no money and no relatives, but he still brought money to raise money for students studying in France. In my opinion, it is impossible. Completed tasks. I was stunned. What made him so confident? What made him so powerful? I think deeply... It is an ideal, a belief, the passion of youth and an extremely strong sense of historical mission! They have no choice but to take action to save the country from dire straits, otherwise they will have to become slaves of national subjugation. Perhaps times create heroes, and turbulent times have created a generation of great men, and even a nation!
Chapter 2
As a science student with no knowledge and skills, and a "history lover" who doesn't know much about history. Watching "The Great Cause of the Founding of the Party" is just watching the fun. Of course, it used so many stars.
So much so that I felt that there was too much information and too little brain capacity among the complicated characters, except for stars like Deng Chao, Dong Jie, Fan Bingbing, Chen Kun, Andy Lau, Zhou Xun, etc. who are really famous or have characteristics. Others looked familiar and felt friendly. Such as Chen Duxiu, such as Li Dazhao's Zhang Jiayi, such as Xiao Fengxian's Yang Ying and Yang Kaihui. Even Yuan Shikai was played by Chow Yun-fat. Liu Ye, the famous actor who plays Mao Zedong, Daniel Wu, who plays Hu Shih, and Bao Beier, are not very familiar to them. For example, Huang Jue was my idol. I didn’t know he had played this role five years ago. There is also a boy in there who is particularly cute and makes me feel warm. No matter how hard I think about it, I can’t remember who he is. Isn't it Huang Xuan in The Legend of Mi Yue? Hey, as for the historical figures in it, they are even more complicated, including Chiang Kai-shek, Deng Xiaoping, and Lu Xiaoman! What Mei Lanfang! I didn’t even see Wang Jingwei or Zhai Qiubai, okay? The fleeting character played by Deng Chao is actually the famous Chen Yi? I was drunk too.
It is indeed a bit messy. It's so confusing that I can't figure it out. Except for reasons of historical knowledge. I can also imagine how much this movie was criticized. As a mainstream film that came into being due to the 90th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China. The star cast of 178 actors can be described as luxurious. All big-name stars have to make soy sauce. Such intricate historical background, character relationships, and political factors are all squeezed into a small space of two hours. It's either propaganda or hype. Love the country, love the party, and get education.
As for specific criticisms, Douban’s homepage no longer allows film reviews to appear, and the discussion forum and ratings have been withdrawn. I'm not sure. It may be nothing more than two angles. The first is the production plot and picture aspect of the film. The second is about the smearing of history and the so-called flaw in historical attitudes. Below I can only express my own opinions based on my own superficial opinions.
From childhood to adulthood, we have all been indoctrinated with a relatively single patriotic ideology. The history we understand is more rigid and rigid than what is found in textbooks. It's just as magical and one-sided as in the TV series. It can be said that I never studied history well. I don’t know who to believe or how to make some facts truly three-dimensional, vivid and real. How to restore the truth of history and restore the original appearance of a historical figure. Because they are still far away from me.
I was just thinking when some people return their opinions like a mountain of advice. Do they all really understand it?
Personally, I think this "The Great Cause of Party Building" is pretty good. For teenagers, it is still very educational. And this kind of education, even if it is blind and not so clear and rational, is still necessary. Because it represents a spirit. ;
