惊沙

主不主旋律不论，主旋律也可能拍得好看的。但这一类片子（非大制作的主旋律片）往往存在“根本就算不上电影”的问题，此片即一典型。情节、台词、表演、摄影、剪辑，弱智到不行。根本就不能用影评的标准去评判它。我看的版本有中英对照字幕，英文还是比较讲究，不是翻译机翻的。难道这样的片子还指望海外发行？费这事弄英文字幕干嘛？

西路军征战河西，太惨烈。想二十年前，我还去过高台，可惜年少不识愁滋味，不懂得西路军的历史，更不知道长征后的外祖父跟着徐向前的西路军就蹒跚在河西走廊，九死一生！

角色塑造和故事情节比刚看的《歼十出击》要好很多，但战斗场面的细节还是很有问题，烟火、特效、战术动作、子弹供应——其实开篇都说了，韩为了搞到两三千发子弹，不慎上了马匪的当，使几名红军牺牲，差点儿受处分，可见西路军的捉襟见肘。但是双方一开火，机动性极强的马家军也没携重武器，秦基伟部倒还有几挺重机枪，却到处是火药炸点。这是国产战争片的通病。

片尾歌功颂德意味太明显。不过，无数先烈的奋不顾身，太值得今天去倍加珍惜。

票价只十元。我几乎包场，这是最悲哀的。

片中插曲配乐是关峡的《轨道》，熟稔，激动。钢铁的意志钢铁汉，百战百胜美名传。

主题曲更动人。《化作星辰伴随着你》一出，默默泪流。

----------

昨天的风　昨天的雨

昨天血染的戈壁

今天的天　今天的地

今天高扬的国旗

不要说我已倒下

看不到黎明的晨曦

不要说我已离去

听不到胜利的乐曲

 

啊　我看到了　你已傲然站起

啊 我听到了　你在自由呼吸

 

来　来　来　来　来吧

来　来　来　来　来吧

我们集合　我们集合

我们集合　我们集合

去参加祖国生日的贺礼

 

来　来　来　来　来吧

来　来　来　来　来吧

我们出发　我们出发

我们出发　我们出发

铿锵的脚步　铿锵的脚步

铿锵的脚步　铿锵的脚步

惊天撼地　惊天撼地

 

昨天的风　昨天的雨

昨天血染的戈壁

今天的天　今天的地

今天高扬的国旗

亲爱的　我不会倒下

化作星辰伴随着你

亲爱的　我绝不离去

永远守卫你精神的高地

 

啊　我看到了　你正傲然崛起

啊　我听到了　你在长空搏击

 

来　来　来　来　来吧

来　来　来　来　来吧

我们集合　我们集合

我们集合　我们集合

铸成祖国刚健的躯体

 

来　来　来　来　来吧

来　来　来　来　来吧

我们出发　我们出发

我们出发　我们出发

像惊沙呼啸　像惊沙呼啸

像惊沙呼啸　像惊沙呼啸

狂飙万里　狂飙万里

  


 

我一直对我们国家的很多电影奖，抱有极大的怀疑。

这部电影中，有很多始终不明白的事情：
1、片名是神马意思？
2、那对兄妹的感情，太暧昧了。
3、……
太多了，我都记不住了。

我常常责备自己，没什么审美，因为我始终都欣赏不了主旋律电影。
就爱娱乐片。

导师特别善良的说，战争场面拍得还行。

作为看着美国电影长大的人，我实在找不出可以和美国电影战场场面较量的地方。

好吧，我比较不厚道。

 The Victory Is By No Means Accidental
A review of the film JING SHA

By Veronica

The film Jing Sha was quite heart-shaking. It was adapted from an authentic historical event.The film describes the story of Red Army Western Expenditure, and portrays several distinctive characters. The battle between Kuomintang and the Red Army is stirring, and the stark contrast shown in this film is also shocking.
The whole film was structured on the basis of a stark contrast between the two forces.
Their attitude towards war was enormously different. At the beginning of the film, the head of Kuomintang army forced his soldiers to fight, using carrot and stick. He promised to give them whatever they want while executed the soldiers who defected or withdrew by shooting as a warning to others. For the soldiers in the Red Army, the situation was just the opposite. They wanted to stay at the warfront and fought until the last. They chose to stay even being forced to leave. When their lives were at stake, they put others’ interest first and cared little about themselves. The doctor put himself in danger saving the patients; the pregnant woman preferred to die fighting rather than leave. The wounded, the women, and even the children fought until the last moments of their lives.
Second, the contrast manifested in the combat equipments. The Kuomintang army used state-of-the-art combat equipments, and they ate well and drank well. But for the soldiers in the Red Army, they ate barks and grass roots. They didn’t even have enough guns and bullets. Bricks and stones were all their weapons. When all the munitions ran out, they pick ed up broadswords and fought hand-in-hand. It was the spirit that keep them fighting. Despite the harsh conditions, the Red Army resisted for over three days and finally broke out of the encirclement, showing their will and combat capability.
The film has successfully depicted several distinctive characters, among which Qin Jiwei impressed us most. His personality was quite full and complex.He was experienced in fighting and rich in war strategies. He showed his composure during the battles and made wise decisions about when to stay and when to leave. He also attended to others, and it killed him to shoot Guifang to death. He was fortunate enough to be the only one to survive and later became one of the generals who witnessed the victory of the Communist party and the foundation of the PRC. Guifang’s husband, Han, was warm-hearted and humorous. Peng was different from other soldiers. He appeared more like an intellectual, who was a little stubbon and conservative. But he recorded the combat with his pen and sacrificed his life. The song he sang shortly before death was really touching and heart-breaking.All the major characters had some characteristics in common: faithful to the army, brave and capable in fighting, and never be afraid of death.
This film is also impressive and worth praising because it successfully depicted several women characters. Gui fang is the most impressive one. She was courageous and capable. She fought against the enemy as men did, even when she was pregnant. As a woman, she regarded the interest of the army as more important than her own family. And the nurse was also bold. Confronting the brutal and savage enemy, she was weak and could do nothing except weeping. But she got the nerve to kill the enemy in fighting against the rape. Even a young girl showed her attendance of others and courage to fight and die. They all sacrificed themselves for the collective interests and more grandly, the ideal of liberation.
The film has its symbolic meaning. By telling the story of Qin Jiwei and other warriors who sacrificed their lives during the combats, the film indicates the difficulties and hardships of establishing a peaceful and prosperous country. While enjoying the life now, we should always remember those who shed blood to pave the way for a better tomorrow.
In terms of the technique of film expression, the three closes-up of Qin Jiwei impress me most. The first came after one wounded soldier said”the wounded are fighting forces in war”, and persuaded him to allow them to stay and fight. After taking a glimpse of all the wounded soldier, tears came into his eyes, and his facial expression was heartbreaking. The second came after he had no choice but to shoot Guifang in case she became the capture and was savagely abused. Tears was in his eyes and we sensed the deep sorrow and hatred in his heart. The last one came after the breaking out of the encirclement. After Pend left, he read the notebook on which the details of the combats had been clearly recorded, and he foresaw that they might never see each other again. Tears appeared in his eyes. He had lost almost all comrade-in-arms, but he knew that he should never surrender and must fight until the last minute of his life. The usage of closes-up focused on his facial expression and indicated his emotions, marking the progress of the story and functioning as symbols of each chapter. The structure was compact.The music was solemn and stirring. It created an atmosphere of combat and sacrifice.
