Chapter 0730: Carl Rescue

The story of "Carl Rescue" takes place in May 1900.

At the beginning of the movie, the black and white tone has a very historical film feel.

It's on a battleship, and a bunch of Lighthouse Nation soldiers are eating cookies, drinking wine, and chatting about their families in the cabin.

The main character's name is Carl and he is a Marine Corps officer. He has two very sweet children, and is now sitting in a corner of the cabin introducing his two children to his comrades, as well as his wife.

He hadn't been home to see his wife and children for two years.

Chinese people have the impression that foreigners are very prodigal, but in fact, Lighthouse people are much more conservative and attach great importance to their families. Family emotions are also a common topic for them, so the appearance of this kind of bridge in the movie can very resonate with fans of the Beacon Country. Of course, the same is true for fans in other countries.

But in fact, many Chinese fans noticed something wrong from the very beginning of the subtitles.

Sure enough, as the follow-up plot unfolded, they finally understood why this movie was scolded so fiercely by Chinese fans on the Internet just after it was released.

Karl's warship received a military order from his superiors and was ordered to go to a country in the East to protect his compatriots.

Soon they landed in coalition forces near the coast with the navies of other countries.

Carl's squad was among them.

After landing, they settled in the Tianjin Concession and waited for the next order.

During this time, Carl's team encountered a local woman who was being persecuted while on a mission, her husband was dead, and the rest of the village said she was a husband and was going to burn her to death. Karl could not bear to see the woman burned to death, so he went to negotiate with the village despite the dissuasion of his subordinates. As a result, there was naturally a conflict with the villagers, and the dozen or so people in the team were surrounded by hundreds of people with various farm tools and cold weapons.

But their weapons were more advanced, and after a "heroic fight", they managed to save the persecuted woman and fled back to the city, where they settled her in a church. In the church, they saw more persecuted locals. I felt that this place was backward and dark.

This is a small climax of the movie, and many foreign fans are relieved to see that Carl's team successfully rescued the woman.

But the Chinese fans in the cinema frowned.

But anyone who has studied history knows what the background environment of this story takes place, they only saw Carl's team saving people, but they didn't think about why they appeared in this ancient country.

Guo Le could feel that the atmosphere around him had become a little depressing.

At this time, the movie cuts to the inland area, where a group of Orientals who are skilled in kung fu and dressed in strange clothes are moving in the night. They broke into a church and killed foreigners when they saw them. Even some of the refugees who had been sheltered by the church were killed.

Compared with the rescue of Carl's team in front, it seems so barbaric, bloody, and violent.

Civilization and barbarism are presented in front of the audience in contrast through the mixing of this set of shots.

The villain Fan Wenqiang also appeared, he was the leader of these barbarians, and they captured a priest, tied him to a pillar and burned him alive along with the church.

Fan Wenqiang raised his arms and shouted: "Hold the talisman and chant the mantra, the gods possess the body"

His men responded with great enthusiasm.

Then continue to burn and loot.

After they left, a nun came out of the cellar with a local child, who cried "Mama", but his mother was already engulfed in flames. The kind-hearted nun fled with the child and sought refuge at the consulate.

On the other side of the consulate, the ambassadors of various countries are protesting to the imperial court, demanding that these illegal non-governmental organizations be banned and the lives and property of their overseas Chinese should be protected, but the imperial court rejected them.

The official with pigtails in the movie and no one in his eyes directly made a group of Chinese fans dumbfounded: Was Tartar so tough at that time?

Guo Le had already heard someone next to him scolding.

The scene returns to Karl's team, and because the negotiations failed, the coalition forces decided to send troops to protect the expatriate.

After that, there will be all kinds of war scenes.

Basically, one side has few people but uses various firearms to resist, and then they face enemies dozens of times their size, and they rush up one by one with a roar, just like a large number of zombies in the apocalypse.

Even among the enemy, there were masters who could not be killed by the gods after being shot a few times, causing a lot of losses to the coalition forces.

Then the coalition received a distress letter from a church and decided to send a team to rescue the trapped overseas Chinese to the base camp.

This squad is naturally Carl's squad.

Karl's team went deep into the hinterland under the leadership of Commander Karl, encountering various "demons and monsters" along the way, and many soldiers in the squad were also killed and wounded. I finally arrived at the church, only to find that there were too many people trapped in the church!

Not only the clergy of this church, but also refugees from other places, people from other churches, some Western businessmen, and local refugees. With the only weapons they had, they built a defensive line under the command of a retired officer while appealing to the Empire for help.

That's where Carl's squad comes on a rescue mission.

In the face of so many people, the soldiers of Carl's team said that it would be fine as long as they took the expatriates away, but Carl finally insisted that the other refugees in the church should also be released, regardless of whether they were Westerners or Easterners.

So, Karl's team began to make an evacuation plan, and decided to divide the troops into two ways, one way to divert the enemy, and the other to escape in the night.

As a result, when he fled, he ran into the big boss of Fan Wenqiang again, so Carl's team resolutely stayed behind to block the enemy, and the two sides started a fierce battle.

Fan Wenqiang is very powerful in this movie, he is very good at kung fu, and he can also ask God to possess him, and he can catch bullets with his bare hands.

In the end, Karl's team was almost completely wiped out, and he was defeated with courage and wisdom.

The strength of the film production team is online, and this scene is particularly exciting, and it is called a hearty one to watch.

"Tear Pull~"

Guo Le was awakened from the wonderful scenes of the movie by the sound of the person next to him tearing up the movie ticket.

I saw a Chinese fan sitting next to him tear up the movie ticket, got up and left.

Immediately, more and more Chinese fans in the cinema stood up and tore up their movie tickets and left the theater early.

Many foreigners were stunned and didn't understand what was going on.

Although the East in the movie can be seen to be Huaguo, it is the country that has perished in the old era, and it is not the current Huaguo.

The West has also experienced that feudal dark era, and has also made movies to criticize it, why can't the Chinese people accept it?

A transnational couple even quarreled as soon as they got out of the screening room.

The man felt that the movie whitewashed the invaders and insulted his motherland, so he angrily tore up the ticket and left the scene in protest.

The woman couldn't understand why he was so sensitive, and felt that a good date had been ruined by him.
