Tomorrow's War

The propaganda news of "Tomorrow's War" is overwhelming: Gu Tianle invested heavily, the box office in the Mainland was not as expected, Hong Kong stars called for support for Hong Kong-made films, film critics and netizens discussed "support" or "like", and some friends are really for Gu Tianle today Whether the next meeting will be worthless or not is a big concern. Some people say that the film company's "emergency card" is like emotional blackmail. In fact, this is not bad. It is always better to stir up a topic and attract attention than to be silent and unheard of. As for whether to enter the venue to appreciate it, it is purely a personal choice, and there is no need to explain it publicly or argue with others.

A few years ago, I saw the trailer of "Tomorrow's War" on the Internet. At the time, I felt unexpected. In the limited picture, I already felt that this film was a sure winner. As a rare large-scale sci-fi film, it is also advertised as a Hong Kong production. In fact, as long as it is better than "Future Police" directed by Wang Jing and starring Andy Lau (that is a hopelessly bad film), it can already be called the best. The Hong Kong-made sci-fi stunt blockbuster. Of course, I understand that when it comes to this kind of big production, many audiences will become picky, and they will also talk about a lot of Hollywood movies, but it is worth noting that these movie fans will also find the same when the Hollywood blockbuster is released. A whole host of grounds for criticism. After all, watching a movie is a very subjective thing. The opinions of others cannot be accurate. Only your own feelings are the most accurate.

In all fairness, the plot of "Tomorrow's War" is very simple. It is purely about a few soldiers performing a task of defending civilians. The task execution time in the story is three hours, and the film is about 100 minutes long. Do your best to do stunt shots. I watched the IMAX version. The second half of the series of battles was intense and exciting. In fact, the whole film was also fast-paced and not boring. Although Gu Tianle and Liu Qingyun had a tacit understanding, Jiang Haowen always acted in a pleasing manner. If it is compared with the classic mecha movies such as "Transformers" and "Battle of the Pacific", this film certainly has a lot of room for improvement, but in terms of the first Hong Kong film of this kind of big production, "Tomorrow's War" does indeed More than qualified, definitely not a bad film.

This movie advertises a new attempt of Hong Kong movies, but the main actors are all very experienced actors. Watching Liu Qingyun kill the enemy on the battlefield, I can't help thinking, why can't they find younger actors to participate in the show, because the audience loves these old people too much actor? Or have investors been too conservative and only willing to bet on the powerful old actors? Since the preparation and filming of "Tomorrow's War" has been done many years ago, Hong Kong really lacked well-known young actors at that time, but if someone else starts shooting a film of a similar scale in the future, Gu Tianle and Liu Qingyun may be able to lead Jiang Tao and Lu Juan waits for the new generation to fight, and the drama may be more lively!

The main selling point of "Tomorrow's War" is the stunt scenes. The plot is secondary, but it is not as bad as some online critics say. The protagonists are not working hard for the illusory slogan, and they have been very assertive from the beginning. , for the safety of the people in the community he belongs to, he does not hesitate to confront the superiors. This spirit of preserving the true self is unique to Hong Kong-made films, and it is becoming more and more valuable. In the process of carrying out the mission, natural disasters and monsters are difficult to deal with, but the real enemy is actually the human leader who holds the power and selfishness. Gu and Liu have been in danger for many times and put their lives and deaths aside, conveying a belief that protecting their own community is the most important thing and refusing to meet the unreasonable orders of their superiors. Therefore, they are not trying to save the entire human race, nor the entire country, but to save the 160,000 people who are guarding the area. The two of them will not give up no matter what, it is the power that is more important than mechas and guns. Support the entire impossible mission. Showing off your personality and refusing to follow orders made "Tomorrow's War" unpopular in some places, and it was treated almost like cyberbullying. Of course, this is not for nothing.

As for the use of some familiar ways to advance the plot, it is regarded as nothing new. In fact, similar formulas or so-called unreasonable are also common in most commercial movies. Do you think "The Avengers", "Star Wars", " "Transformers", or even the plot of 007 movies is very reasonable? Come on, wake up a little, in fact, under those strict standards, the world is as dark as a crow, and the world's films are generally bad. Watching movies is just for the sake of relaxation, creating a dream in the fast world of light and shadow. If you have to care about everything, all the plots must be verified in reality, then watching the drama will lose the fun, in fact, it will lose the fun of being a person!
