I don't want to ask about the West-East Film Review. In recent years, which excellent domestic films have character, feelings and thoughts?

operation mekong

operation mekong is undoubtedly based on the "15" case in 211, but I still have to say one more thing about what the film said at the end, which is based on real events. Personally, I think the term "ending" is still misleading. "based on", like Lone Survivor, American Sniper and 13 Hours of Crisis, should strictly follow the facts and be artistically processed.

operation mekong can be said to have only borrowed the prototype of the characters, but made considerable changes and exaggerations on the basis of the facts. Movies are more dramatic than real cases, and they also have larger and more exciting action scenes. This is understandable. After all, catching drug dealers abroad is not like those overseas military operations of the US military, and there are not so many big scenes that stimulate adrenaline. If you want to look good, you still have to process it. Therefore, it is more appropriate to say that operation mekong was inspired by real events.

The film even has such a first-person shot. You can experience teamwork and individual accomplishment from the perspective of soldiers.

The target audience of operation mekong is mainly men.

I never thought that this Chinese mainland would produce a work similar to Brave Action. The appearance of "operation mekong" is itself a progress and a breakthrough of China's main melody films.

its most fundamental breakthrough is that it does not regard itself as the main theme, but as a movie. The main theme, only need to complete the propaganda task, even if it is hard; Movies are about telling stories and shaping characters. If they are done well, they will naturally have publicity effects. Operation mekong undoubtedly belongs to the latter.

"operation mekong" first achieved the ultimate in "good-looking". In terms of entertainment elements, the film includes all kinds of action scenes such as fighting, gun shooting and racing, explosions, team battles and other big scenes, professional weapons and equipment, skills and tactics, as well as mental intelligence, which make the film very "cool".

judging from the plot arrangement, the four main martial arts scenes in the film are different and have their own characteristics (I can't help but vomit about the four undifferentiated war scenes in My War again). After Gao Gang and Fang Xinwu joined forces, the first action was to rescue the hostages in the bandits' den, where we are outnumbered and pay attention to fast forward and fast out, and race against time; The second scene is the railway station to protect informants, where people are crowded and pay attention to fish in troubled waters and improvise; The third game is the shopping mall confrontation, which I personally think is the most wonderful. At first, all parties fought wits and intrigued each other, and when they found out each other's cards and played all their cards, through a long-term lens, the four people at the negotiating table were all tense and excited, and I had already reached the climax before the martial arts began. The fourth game is special operations, mainly showing fierce scenes. On the contrary, there is not much to say about this. Later, because there were few people and the fight was not fierce, it seemed lengthy.

The film has also made a great breakthrough in scale, needless to say, drug dealers and police swear words, and all kinds of violent and bloody acts emerge one after another: drug dealers stab people with knives, engage in suicide bombers, police torture confessions, and shoot suspects. This will even damage the entertainment and cause the loss of some viewers. But only when the drug dealers are vicious and the police are biased can we realize what a cruel struggle this is. It is ridiculous to get out of the mud without dyeing, and it is even more admirable to carry a load in the filth. Only when the film shows the villagers with broken hands and feet and the child soldiers who take drugs and drink alcohol in documentary language can we realize what a dark place the Golden Triangle is. Therefore, we have more respect for those who keep these darkness out of our sight.

compared with the martial arts drama, the literary drama of the film has been criticized more. It is a fact that the film is too weak, but it is influenced by many factors on and off the court.

For example, the description of the investigation case in the film is rather perfunctory, which is nothing more than catching the clues one by one, catching this one and catching the next one. This is really the director's pot, because he is better at action drama himself and doesn't pay attention to cohesion (refer to "Inverse War").

The film portrays the other members of the arresting team and most drug dealers in a faceless way (probably only drug dealer Zhan Peng attracts more attention). In particular, the simple handling of naw kham failed to show the characteristics of naw kham, who is invisible, occasionally aggressive (in the language of Jinghua Times), suspicious, cunning and good at making relationships.

The film also doesn't explain the follow-up to the "Boss" behind the scenes, because he is the Thai military, so it's not good to say too much. This is an off-site factor.

In Spielberg's Munich, Israel sent agents to assassinate its members all over the world in retaliation for the Palestinian terrorist organization Black September, which killed its Olympic athletes and coaches. And in operation mekong? Our police also went abroad, traveled across mountains and rivers, and went through hardships. They not only found the murderer of China people, but also arrested him back to China, where he was tried on the land of China, and he was brought to justice on the land of China. It's quite like the ancient China people arrested the enemy chieftain and had to be escorted back to Beijing, humiliated and beheaded. What China people have been pursuing since ancient times is not a simple tit for tat, but also a name and prestige. If naw kham dies in the deep forest, no one knows; However, naw kham was tried in public, and other people who are eager to move will ponder.

The excitement brought by such a real event can never be offset by some shortcomings of the film itself.
