This film finally allows people to see something other than praise for the first time, which is unprecedented sympathy for the "losers". In the mist and rain in the south of the Yangtze River, looking at Chiang Kai-shek's lonely figure leaving his motherland, under that magnificent historical background, it is easy for people to think of a poem: I urge you to drink another glass of wine, leaving Yangguan in the west without any old friends. Behind the competition between the two heroes is actually the dream of their home and country they are pursuing. Although those who realize their dreams are great, those who have their dreams shattered in Jinling are also heroes. After reading "The Founding of the People's Republic of China", I admit that it touched me. This touch was not just because it was not easy to establish a new regime, but because we have grown up under the red flag since we were young, and we are already too familiar with this process. What moved me is that the film has a new feeling for the "Chiang Dynasty" that we once despised. This feeling may be what Mr. Yi Zhongtian calls historical sympathy. And I think this kind of sympathy is very valuable. To a certain extent, it reflects the progress of our historical outlook. It also reflects to a certain extent that the new government that succeeded the Republic of China sixty years ago finally has some confidence. , I hope that this kind of self-confidence will continue to flourish, because this self-confidence is the basis for open speech and democratic progress. There is no need to say much about the plot, because "everyone on earth knows it." As people describe it, this is actually a showdown between two heroes in a magnificent war and political background. More than 60 years ago, Mao Zedong and Chiang Kai-shek, two mortal enemies who had been fighting for many years, once considered the possibility of cooperation. This historical encounter is shown extremely solemnly in the film. With no certainty of victory, at least Mao Zedong and the Communist Party still showed their sincerity in peace talks. From their uneasiness when they went to Chongqing for talks The emphasis on the talks can be seen. It's a pity that because their respective positions were too different, there was no result in the end, and they parted ways for 60 years. In this scene, Chiang Kai-shek is no longer the image of a single man who only knows how to play tricks, but more like a worried parent. Faced with an almost unmanageable mess, Chiang Kai-shek has to rack his brains to patch things up. Because of his The dilemma between Yu Da and He was destined to face more situations to break than Mao Zedong, while Mao Zedong had the mentality of "being barefoot and not afraid of wearing shoes". The worst he could do was to fight guerrillas again. Therefore, in this scene, Chiang Kai-shek The mental burden is heavier, and his inner conflict is obviously more intense than that of Mao Zedong. This mentality of one being able to let go and the other not letting go not only determines the spiritual tone of the two protagonists in the film, but is also a true reflection of the collective psychology of the two opposing parties in historical events. In terms of the plot of "The Founding of the People's Republic of China" alone, I personally don't think there is anything attractive about it. After all, anyone with a little common sense knows this period of history. What is refreshing lies in two aspects.
One aspect is that there is almost no didactic element in previous such movies, but the details of the characters' behavior and subtle mentality are used to depict the hearts of the characters in both camps at that critical moment, whether they are confident, anxious, arrogant or sad. Or the heroic ambition of the world changing, or the lack of interest in the broken mountains and rivers, or the joy of the spring breeze, or the helpless sadness
