197653,這是一組上了熱搜的數字,也是抗美援朝烈士人數。
70年前,中中國人民志願軍不懼炮火,將愛國熱血化為前行動力,他們的心中,只有一個信念——保家衛國!
近期熱映的《金剛川》便是一部紀念中中國人民志願軍抗美援朝出國作戰70週年的電影,影片以抗美援朝為背景,講述了志願軍戰士們“奮勇迎戰,軍魂無敵”的故事。
該片10月23日上映首日便票房過億,截至昨天,票房已經突破四億。
Chinese war film "The Sacrifice" has notched up over 400 million yuan in China's box office as of Oct 26, according to the Chinese ticket tracker Maoyan.
The movie got off to a good start on its debut day last Friday, raking over 100 million yuan.
It joined a collection of films and TV series that were released in commemoration of the 70th anniversary of the Chinese People's Volunteers army entering the Democratic People's Republic of Korea to help in the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea (1950-1953).
而在影片上映之前,該片堪稱“中中國產戰爭片”頂流的王炸陣容便備受矚目:
影片由《八佰》導演管虎、《流浪地球》導演郭帆、《繡春刀》導演路陽聯合執導,張譯、吳京、李九霄、魏晨領銜主演,鄧超特別出演。
Before its release, the movie had already been much anticipated as it's co-directed by three renowned filmmakers: Guan Hu, who directed this year's top blockbuster "The Eight Hundred," Guo Fan, whose 2019 sci-fi film "The Wandering Earth" which made the list of top-grossing movies in the history of the Chinese box office, as well as Lu Yang known for Chinese martial arts (wuxia) film "Brotherhood of Blades."
The movie also features all-star casts, including Wu Jing, who directed and starred in the movie "Wolf Warrior 2" – the highest-grossing movie in China, and Zhang Yi, best known for his roles in the movie "Operating Red Sea" and TV series "Soldiers Sortie."
那麼,影片具體講了一個什麼樣的故事呢?
取材於真實歷史
在1953年抗美援朝最後大決戰金城戰役中,志願軍燕山部隊主力軍必須在7月13日早上6點到達金城前線。
影片故事講述的便是7月12日下午到13日早晨5點,這十幾個小時之內發生的事情。為保障大部隊必經之路金剛川上的金剛橋暢通無阻,炮兵與炸橋的敵機展開慘烈戰鬥,修橋工兵在敵機的狂轟亂炸中奮力修橋,志願軍最終用血肉之驅抵擋住了敵人的鋼鐵炮彈甚至燃燒彈,用犧牲換來了準時抵達前線,發起進攻。
奔騰的金剛川深4米,其最寬處達60米,跨越於湍急河面上的一座簡易工兵橋,是將志願軍大部隊運往金城戰役前線的唯一通道。
The film is set on July 12, 1953, the second day after the outbreak of the Battle of Kumsong – the last fight before Chinese People's Volunteers Army and the US-led so-called "UN forces" signed the Korean Armistice Agreement in 1953.
Unlike most previous domestic war-themed films that chronicle milestone incidents or highlight historic figures, the feature turns the lens to ordinary soldiers, who sacrificed their lives in order to restore a bridge amid American fighters' intense bombings.
Stretching across a torrent river with its widest part reaching around 60 meters and as deep as four meters, the bridge was the only portal to transport thousands of Chinese soldiers and military vehicles to the battlefield of Kumsong.
一個故事講三遍?
這座橋也成為了影片中的關鍵元素,電影創造性地利用這座橋,拓展開河流兩岸和河流上空的三個故事空間,從三個視角:修橋的志願軍工兵連、美軍空軍和志願軍防空高射炮兵呈現這個故事,最後三條線匯聚在一起,完成了志願軍大部隊過橋。
在好萊塢著名導演諾蘭執導的《敦刻爾克》中,不同人物對“撤退”這一事件的不同描述,也是採用了這種類似的復調敘事。據CCTV6電影頻道報道,這種“多聲部復調結構”是首次在中中國產戰爭片中出現,是一種全新的創舉。
因為多重交叉視角,影片形成了“你中有我,我中有你”的互動關係,只有看完所有視角和章節內容,才能知曉這場戰鬥的全部面貌。
這正是這個“多聲部復調結構”的妙處,我們觀看了三次戰鬥過程,也歷經了三波高潮,從B26轟炸橋體、榴彈炮遠端轟炸、延時炸彈爆炸、B29燃燒彈再度轟炸...
字幕一次又一次重複交代,事件一次又一次重新演繹,前者與後者敘事相互補充,相互強調,不斷強化這場戰鬥的慘烈程度,深化這群英雄戰士的壯烈形象。
不同的視角,同時卻又是相對獨立的個體,雖然每一個視角講述的都是基於同一場戰鬥所發生的事情,但其中蘊含的卻是不同的內在思想——對戰爭與榮譽的理解和轉變,基於對手立場的稱讚與欽佩,冰冷戰爭中火熱的戰友之情……
“電影本身就是講犧牲的”
在導演郭帆看來,影片最打動他的地方不是巨集大的戰爭場面,而是吳京和張譯所演繹的角色之間的戰友兄弟情。
Instead of huge battles, the film puts much more focus on depicting the brotherhood among ordinary soldiers. Guo recalled that the most touching part of the film was the sacrifice the CPV soldiers made.
在片中,張譯與吳京分別飾演高炮排排長張飛和高炮班長關磊,兩人一文一武,雖然時不時會爭吵幾句,實則都是想替對方犧牲。
"It all begins with how Guan (Wu Jing, Wolf Warrior) and Zhang (Zhang Yi, Operation Red Sea) rushed to lead the first AA gun site, which they knew would be the most dangerous place to stay as they could easily be killed. They rushed to sacrifice their lives for each other, just as the movie's name says," Guo said.
而郭帆也表示,電影的英語片名“Sacrifice”本意是犧牲,這個影片本身其實就是講犧牲。
"Seventy years have passed since the war and a lot of things have been gradually forgotten with time. However, such a precious brotherhood and sacrifice should not be forgotten. We hope it can be passed down through our film. It is because of these young CPV soldiers' sacrifice for their homeland and the country and belief in guarding the Chinese people that we can have what we have today. We need to remember these heroes and their sacrifice."
為什麼戰旗美如畫,
英雄的鮮血染紅了它。
致敬中中國人民志願軍!
致敬我們最可愛的人!
