Chapter 1180 An Absurd and Real War Live Broadcast!
Although "Eight Hundred" has not yet been released on a large scale, the popularity has long been sufficient.

After all, the history involved in this film was already well known when Li Yi decided to make this film.

Recently, on the Internet, the popularity of keywords about "Eight Hundred", about the defense of the Sixing Warehouse, etc. has shown a sharp rise.

Precisely because of this period of history, it can be said that looking at the entire history of the Anti-Japanese War, it can be regarded as special, so it only fueled the enthusiasm.

Naturally, film critics will not miss such an opportunity to show their faces and popularity.

Soon, film critics interpreted "Eight Hundred".

""Eight Hundred" is an absurd and real live broadcast of war!"

"Aside from other factors, the defense of the Sixing Warehouse can also be regarded as a unique battle, because this is indeed a live broadcast of a real and absurd war.

The audience included journalists from Western countries, observation groups from Western countries, citizens of Shanghai, and so on.

This war has focused the eyes of the whole world!
From the Internet, I saw some people's evaluations of the eight hundred heroes of this war. The most popular one is "brave and resolute"!
But this is actually just a stereotype under the whitewash of later generations.

After watching "Eight Hundred", I was surprised, surprised that this movie did not simply show us "brave and perseverance"!
On the contrary, it allows us to see the cowardly side of these soldiers.From the very beginning, "deserters" have been executed on the spot.The Battle of Songhu has been fought for nearly three months. As the army is retreating steadily, the morale of the army has been weakened and they have no intention of fighting. It is only a matter of time before Shang Hai's fall.

This is especially evident in front of the few "stragglers" who were temporarily incorporated into the 88th Division: the two brothers of the Hubei Security Regiment, one came to fight because he wanted to see the bustling Dashanghai, and the other was a child ; the old soldier of the Northeast soldier, who once followed "Dashuai Zhang", should have experienced many battles, but he became an out-and-out "counsel" in Yangguai's mouth; as for the "old abacus" of the Jiangsu and Zhejiang Security Corps, All he wanted was to escape.He doesn't want to go to battle to kill the enemy at all, he sacrifices his life for righteousness, he just wants to settle down in the troubled times; the veteran is like a sheep, likes to touch the corpse to get paid for the dead, etc., and so on.

The soldiers north of Suzhou Creek are war-weary, and the people south of Suzhou Creek watch the theater.Since the frantic influx of refugees into the concession area, we have seen a "paradise on earth" where the smoke is rolling down and the singing and dancing are still peaceful.Coming here can not only save your life, but also watch the fire from the other side.No matter gang bosses or high-class ladies, middle-class people who never leave their binoculars, or self-employed bun sellers and small newsboys running errands, everyone observes this tragic drama from their own perspective.Like the soldiers on the other side, they were even more hopeless about this war.It's just that some people are worried about the gunshots on the other side, while others are concerned about nothing to do with themselves.

I often see a saying: There is a country with what kind of people there are.From these war-weary soldiers and people watching the theater, we seem to witness a country is crumbling.But do we have the qualifications to criticize these Chinese people who "live on an ignoble existence"?Whether he is a soldier or an ordinary citizen, he is first of all a person, a life of flesh and blood.For any living species, survival is always his first choice.

Therefore, the director did not forcibly whitewash or reverse the "old abacus" like many cliché movies.On the contrary, he has always maintained this image of the person, making his greed for life and fear of death more flesh and blood.This is the kind of resistance that a small person can make under the ruthless crushing of the cruel era.

However, even a Chinese who stays out of the matter will change quietly after witnessing the defenders of the Sixing Warehouse tenaciously blocking the Japanese army again and again.Especially when the flag was flying over the Sixing Warehouse, an indescribable emotion beat the heart like waves in a raging sea. It could be a long-lost sense of national pride, or a belief that the Chinese nation would not perish.

This scene comes from real history, and the cohesion released by it is indestructible, closely linking the people watching the excitement and the defenders of the Sixing Warehouse.This explains why some people are willing to risk their lives to transport telephone coils when they can protect themselves wisely in the concession area.

Undoubtedly, being greedy for life and fearing death is a normal state of human nature under war, but it is undeniable that the same is true of seeing death as home.Everyone has a moment when the blood rushes to his brain, and he may regret it later, but no one can stop him from scorning death at that moment.It was one of the most reckless moments of his life, and possibly one of the brightest.

Faith, no one can tell how much it is worth.So we saw that Chen Shusheng, who didn't even leave a single photo, jumped into the Japanese army's position with an explosive bag... With a bang, he exchanged his own life for the determination of eight hundred heroes to fight to the end.From this moment on, you can truly understand the words of Deputy Xie Tuan: "The opposite is the world, but here is the tomb." This is indeed a tomb, either from the Chinese or from the Japanese.

Those eight words, I believe that no one can help but be moved by them, "Sacrificing one's life for righteousness, one's wish"!
Thus, the souls of the eight hundred heroes are there!
The river, only tens of meters wide, became the Styx River that separated Yin and Yang.The ruins of the ruins and the drunkenness of paper and gold are close at hand, but far away in the sky.

The ridiculous thing is that it can be said that from the very beginning, this war was a drama.The props of the actors are all flesh and blood, and the director and the audience sit and watch the scene fall into the abyss indifferently.Until the end of the song, the Sixing Warehouse became the filming location of the last scene, and the eight hundred heroes were the last batch of actors.Not a single shell landed in the concession area, and this scene has indeed earned a good reputation.However, everything still did not change the fate of the country as expected.You all know what happened after that, the country of Hua was dragged into the abyss of the eight-year war of resistance, the whole world became a battlefield filled with gunpowder, and mankind was about to experience an unprecedented catastrophe.

Therefore, the people in the movie are watching the play, and the people watching the movie are watching the play even more.Its tragedy has long been doomed, because history is the best script.

Let’s talk about the absurdity of this war. Nearly a hundred years have passed, and this war was recognized as a war that greatly encouraged the confidence of the War of Resistance. It's just a play, the absurd thing is that the tenacity of the eight hundred strong men exceeded their expectations, and in the end, they didn't even dare to let the eight hundred strong men continue to guard the Sixing Warehouse.

What's even more absurd is that the war was fought crookedly, and what was originally a show-like war was fought out with blood, which inspired the people of the country.

"Eight Hundred" is worthy of the title of hero. However, our heroes did not receive the honor they deserved after the war. , displaced!

Lamentable! "
