Except for a few critics such as Shao Mujun who affirmed "Falcon" in an all-round way, most of the films have a negative attitude towards "Falcon". However, because "Falcon" has been affirmed by the head of the country and the army, they dare not openly contradict it, and dare not explicitly deny "Falcon", so they can only play a side game. just praise "Falcon" as a whole, and then find fault with the details. In short, their attitude is that I don't dare to hit you, but I'm going to spit on you.

Li Tuo wrote in the article: ""The Falcon" is a very good movie, but it is not an excellent movie, and the biggest problem is the character creation and the weakness of the characters' emotions. The whole movie lacks a detailed portrayal of the characters, and almost all the characters are narrative screws, including the male protagonist Yan Shuangying, so many characters are piled up together, ensuring that the story of the movie is good-looking, but the characteristics of the characters are gone. In the end, there are no characters that are absolutely profound and moving, and the audience forgets after watching them. ”

Chen Li said in the article: "Film is not only a dream machine, but also a work of art loaded with values and ideological, humanistic and aesthetic taste. Xu Wangqiu's patriotism in "The Falcon", as well as the spirit of the PLA soldiers who are brave and not afraid of sacrifice, are worthy of recognition, but the movie has a very bad tendency, in the past, it pursued sensory stimulation and lacked deep thinking. Now there is a view in Western academia that a good war film must be anti-war. There is no thinking about war at all in "Falcon", which fully shows that Xu Wangqiu lacks ideas as a director. ”

These people not only criticized "Falcon" from the aspects of character building, ideological connotation, aesthetic value, etc., but even Yan Shuangying said "Grass the hell, kill this group of white-eyed wolves", which was also criticized by these people. Someone wrote in the commentary: "It is not strange if this sentence comes from the mouth of a degenerate youth, but it is very harsh when it comes from the mouth of the PLA reconnaissance captain, and it completely discredits the image of the PLA." The commentator also used the mouth of his daughter, who is in the second grade of primary school, to explain the seriousness of this sentence***** How can Uncle Jun scold people? The teacher said that scolding is uncivilized and impolite. ”

The critical attitude of critics towards "Falcon" has affected the reputation of "Falcon" among literary and artistic youth. In fact, the group of literary and artistic youth is very complex, there are real literary and artistic youths, and there are pseudo-literary and artistic youths, and pseudo-literary and artistic youths account for the majority. The remarkable special thing about pseudo-literary and artistic youth is that they love to follow the trend, like many pseudo-literary and artistic young people in later generations like to run to the west, and they purify their souls at every turn, in fact, they just have no thoughts and love to follow the trend. Now the literary and artistic circles and critics are secretly saying that "Falcon" is not good, and pseudo-literary and artistic youths naturally follow suit.

In the classroom of East China Normal University, Zhu Dake angrily criticized several students who sang praises for "The Falcon": "Xu Wangqiu advocates learning from Hollywood all day long. Xu Wangqiu's movies are just pandering to the fun and completely lacking in thought, do you also applaud such movies?"

On the campus of Peking University, a boy shook the "China Film News" in his hand and shouted: "What are people in the West making war movies now? People are filming anti-war, people are accusing war and saying that war is a crime, and "Falcon" is still singing the praises of war, which is a very low level. "The Falcon" may not be much different from Western films in terms of technology, but it is forty years behind in terms of ideology, and the idea of this work is still at the level of Western World War II movies. ”

The criticism of critics and pseudo-literary youth did not have much impact on "Falcon", nor did it damage the enthusiasm of the people to watch the movie. Just like last year's "Mysterious Buddha" was scolded by critics and depreciated to the point that it was worthless, but the movie was still warmly sought after by the audience.

In Beiping, in the magic capital, in Rongcheng, in every city in the country, in every movie theater, "Falcon" is full, it is difficult to find a ticket, and there are hundreds of meters in line. Due to the large number of spectators waiting to buy tickets, in some places, in order to prevent accidents, additional firefighters were temporarily dispatched to the theater to station.

With the popularity of "The Falcon", many lines in the movie became popular words and quickly spread across the country. Walking on the street, you can hear children, stretching out their little hands like swallows and eagles, shouting: "Take back my territory, fire in depth!" Walking into the school, you can hear students shouting: "Eight shots urgently, prepare, release!" Walking into the factory, you can hear the workers saying: "Let's make a bet." I bet you have eight cigarettes in your cigarette case......"

"The Falcon" also had an unexpected impact, setting off a wave of enlistment.

In fact, it is not uncommon for movies to bring a wave of joining the army, both in China and abroad.

In May 1986, the U.S. Navy teamed up with Paramount Pictures to launch the air combat movie "Top Gun", which grossed $353 million at the box office and became one of the highest-grossing films of the year. The U.S. Navy printed a recruitment slogan on movie posters: "You're not just getting a job, you're an adventure." After the release of the movie, the United States set off a large-scale military boom.

In 2017, after the release of "Wolf Warrior 2" in China, it set off a movie-watching boom, Leng Feng raised the national flag safely through the war zone, and the fleet launched missiles to save overseas Chinese and refugees, etc., all aroused the audience's strong patriotic feelings, and many young people shouted "Proud of the strength of the motherland, I am willing to serve the motherland" The slogan signed up for the army.

"Falcon" is a movie that makes people rush with adrenaline after watching it, and many young people feel that real men should be like Yan Shuangying and should be like the Falcon Squad, and many people have the idea of wanting to join the army.

In Nanchong City, Xichuan, Wang Xinghua, a silk factory worker, and his wife persuaded their second son with a sad face. Their second son, Wang Hu, is a sophomore in high school, and he doesn't know which tendon he has committed, so he suddenly wants to sign up for the army. The second son's grades are average, and it is indeed difficult to get into college, but the problem is that they are willing to let their son go to war now that they are fighting.

Wang Hu's attitude was very resolute: "Old man, you just let me go! You don't know a lot of my grades, and it is impossible to pass the exam at all, which is a complete waste of feelings." If I can't get into college, I can only be unemployed at home. If I am asked to join the army, when I come back from the army, the state will arrange a job. Don't you say?"

Wang Xinghua said angrily: "If you don't have a job, you can take my class! You are not allowed to be a soldier." Do you know that we are fighting a war now, what if you are allowed to go to war? Bullets on the battlefield are not long-sighted! If you have three long and two short, what will you do for me and your mother?"

Wang Xinghua's mother wiped her tears and persuaded: "Son, you just listen to your old man! Fighting is a death, if you go to be a soldier, how can I rest assured with your old man!"

When Wang Hu saw his mother wiping away tears, he hurriedly persuaded: "Mom, why are you crying! Being a soldier is not as exaggerated as you say." I've asked, even if I go to join the army, I won't necessarily be able to go to war, and even if I go to war, I'll not necessarily be fine. Look at how many generals and heads of state we have produced in Xichuan, and they will all be fine after decades of fighting! Maybe your son will perform well in the army, work all the way, and finally become a general! When the time comes, you will be the general's mother and old man!"

Wuhan University, sophomore Wu Sheng was greatly shocked after watching "Falcon", he felt that the students were discussing the self-defense counterattack on campus, and they only had passion and excitement, no experience of blood and fire, and defending the country requires bloodshed and sacrifice, he felt that everyone should not talk about it, should join the army to serve the country, and truly dedicate their youth to the motherland. So, he found the head teacher and shared his thoughts and thoughts.

After listening to Wu Sheng's words, the head teacher was quite shocked: "It is very good that you have the idea of serving the country in the army, and it is also very remarkable." I respect your choice, but I don't recommend you to become a soldier, after all, now that our country has been reformed and opened up, we are vigorously engaged in construction, and the country is in special need of talents. It may be more meaningful for a college student like you to devote himself to the construction of the four modernizations than to join the army. ”

Wu Sheng said with a firm expression: "Being a soldier is only two years, and when I come back from the army after two years, I can continue my unfinished studies." After graduation, I can continue to devote myself to the construction of my country. ”

Ma Weihua, who is in charge of the recruitment work of the Political Engineering Section of the Wucheng Armed Forces Department, is sitting at his desk drinking tea. It's May, and the summer conscription doesn't start until July, a little more than a month away. However, in recent days, many people have come to ask about joining the army, and almost all of these people have mentioned "Falcon". He heard that this movie was said to have been supported by the General Staff and mobilized the troops of the southern Yunnan front to shoot it, which was very exciting. He went to the cinema once, but didn't get a ticket and went home. At this time, while drinking tea, he was thinking about whether to find a relationship to get two tickets.

At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door. Ma Weihua came in casually, and then he saw a young man of seventeen or eighteen years old, who seemed to have come to ask how to join the army.

Sure enough, as Ma Weihua expected, the young man said "hello", and said a little stiffly: "That, I want to ask, you are responsible for signing up for the army, when can I sign up?"

Ma Weihua looked at the young man and said lightly: "The leading group for conscription work has not yet been established, and the leading group will not be established until June." Recruitment will not begin until July, when you will be able to sign up. One thing I must remind you is that joining the army does not necessarily mean that you will be a Scout, nor does it mean that you will be able to enter a unit like the Falcon. ”

The young man was surprised to hear this, "How do you know I want to be a scout?"

Ma Weihua said helplessly: "Recently, many young people like you have come to ask, and almost all of them will ask the same question, whether they can become a scout and how to enter the falcon." Looking at the way you look, you know that you are also influenced by "Falcon" and want to sign up to become a scout. ”

It doesn't happen to a family, it doesn't happen to a school, it doesn't happen to a city. Countless young people all over the country feel that the Vietnamese cannot be allowed to forcibly occupy our land, and they all feel that they should serve the country by joining the army.

However, the group of people who signed up for the army this year is a little different from the previous two years, and some college students have appeared in the group of people who have joined the army. In this era, college students are the pride of the sky and the crowd with golden rice bowls in their hands. Under normal circumstances, they would not have given up their studies and gone to the army to serve as soldiers. Now it is natural that many college students are suddenly asking to sign up for the army, which is naturally very surprising.

The head of the General Staff laughed when he heard the news: "It seems that it is right to let the troops support the filming of "Falcon", which has attracted so many college students to join the army. ”

The chief next to him smiled: "The main thing is that the little ghost named Xu Wangqiu has the ability, and Bayi Factory's "Iron Armor 008" has also been supported by the troops, but what is that thing called." When a soldier thinks not about fighting, all he thinks about is painting and falling in love, if it is Lao Tzu's soldier, Lao Tzu must shoot it. ”

The chief felt the same way: "That little ghost is indeed a talent, "Falcon" is really well filmed, and it compares all previous war films. Bayi Factory doesn't know what to eat, and such talents don't want to be transferred into the factory!"
