Wo he wo de zu guo

If I'm not Chinese I would probably give it a one-star. Every plot is made to force people to feel emotional, even when the story is so undeveloped. There's tooooo much politics in this film. I get it, this is a big thing, we are a great country. But at the same time, this theme is so repetitive, I can literally write a commentary essay on this without watching the film.

It's really ironic how if you comment negatively about this movie on a Chinese website, and people go like "OMG are you even Chinese" "Well, this whole point is for us to remember the history, and know our own country well."

If so, why is the film so BADLY made??? Why is the theme so overused, I could guess the ending before the film actually ends.

A good intention, but a trash film.

The relatively best of the seven is Ning Hao's "Hello Beijing" and Guan Hu's "Eve". The two directors have extensive commercial film experience. Their stability is precisely because they have adopted the most classic and traditional dramas. mode. Ning Hao chose the character-driven arc to show the dramatic tension. Although the plot development is strongly predictable and outdated, it has to be said to be the most complete. Only the taxi driver played by Ge You in the seven departments is The most humanized and closest to the lives of citizens, the unique sense of market humor in Ning Hao's movies minimizes stereotypes here, so "Hello Beijing" can even be said to have author characteristics.

Play "Little people in big events" or "little people meet big events" are not only about methodology but also about values.

Audiovisual Close-ups, slow motion, and music rendering are overused, like TV specials.

theme In addition to "national power", should we also show "people's wealth"?

I think it is a fantastic work ,all the people who lived in China knows that it is not easy during these years.Chinese people have a lighting future, come on ,go ahead.

Let just get this out of the way. I am not Chinese and I am not a student of Chinese history. While watching I can understand that it will invoke a lot of emotions to people who have lived through these events but for outsiders it will have less of an impact. This is unavoidable so bear that in mind when you go to watch it.

Now that being said, I rather enjoyed it. It is very well made with a lot of attention to detail. I've been told that the representation of the people and the way things were back then (clothes, TVs etc) are very accurate. So while we can get the nostalgia of it we can see more about China's history.

I am a bit confused as it mixes history with stories so it's hard to know how accurate it is. (for example the first story is about a real person while the second may or may not have happened)

Also as its seven stories in does feel a bit too rushed in character development. It is understable but for me makes it feel more forced than I would have liked.

Overall, I'd say watch it for the history and maybe it will make you interested enough to dig further yourself into China's history.

Things of note, I finally found a Chinese child actor I thought as great They have a story similar to capt marvel but done better

A well done film with a distinct slice of life, unsung heroes theme. Each piece is more of a glimpse into people who lived throughout various momentous periods in Chinese history, rather than especially focused around plot development. A little bit heavy handed with the patriotism theme, but that's to be expected considering the movie's purpose. Although in my opinion there were two standout stories, all seven pieces were interesting and distinct enough that time didn't drag on.
