The story of the whole movie is actually quite simple.

It's the story of the two protagonists escaping.

The journey of the two protagonists in the overall film can be basically divided into four scenes.

The first, from mass graves to abandoned trenches.

The second, from an abandoned trench to the backyard of a farmstead.

The third, a fugitive in the dark, encounters a near-death journalist.

The last one, from waterfalls, rivers, forests, escape to the final big rear.

It's a simple story, but the plot and transitions of the overall film are very cleverly arranged.

Under the overall tense rhythm, the director also arranged the relaxed environment and scene setting to make this escape story seem so simple, but without a boring plot for a minute.

In addition, every picture is beautiful.

It's amazing that a brutal Holocaust movie can see beauty.

But that's just the way it is.

The people at the scene have already noticed that the film technology is meticulous and exquisite, and the combination of war cruelty and romantic aesthetics will definitely bring the audience full shock in the comprehensive presentation of audio-visual sense.

In addition to beauty, it is a shot to the end.

It's easy to say that the whole film is one shot, and it is not without it in the world at present.

The films that are really shot to the end include "Russian Ark", which won the Palme d'Or.

Pseudo-long-shot films, as the name suggests, are high-tech jobs that use post-production special effects and hidden editing to look like only "one shot".

Now, there is "1937" again, and the people present, even if some people don't want to admit it, but the fact is that "1937" is really the best, and it is a good place to open up a huge position!

Because of its unprecedented difficulty, the actors and cameras need to continue to travel through nearly six or seven major scenes such as multiple trenches, small courtyards, ruins, rivers, and woods, and cooperate with post-editing, special effects background replacement, and digital processing to integrate more than a dozen shots into "one" long shot.

In this way, it brings an extremely immersive feeling to the people on the scene.

Imagine you are in an immersive battle royale game, with various levels, enemies, traps in front of you, you only have one chance, you can't do it again, the only advantage is to have two lives (two soldiers), but dead the game is over.

For two hours of the film, the camera revolves around the two protagonists, their every move, their breath, their fears and their hopes.

The audience became them, their fear became the fear of the audience, their despair became the despair of the audience, and their bravery became the heroism of the audience.

I have to say that "1937" is really, really, pushing the lens language of "one shot to the end" to a technical height that has never been reached in human film history!

Plus, 1937 doesn't stop at technology and aesthetics.

In the movie, from the enemy to the comrades-in-arms, the corpses everywhere they pass are the background of the whole film.

In the close-up, a photograph of a woman in an enemy trench, a journalist's redemption and revenge, and a hungry woman and a newborn baby in the basement seen by the protagonist in the fire.

It was all sublimated when he finally climbed out of the water and heard the ballad in the wounded barracks.

He was originally an innocent rickshaw driver, but he became a soldier because he was short, and as a result, he suffered a disaster as soon as he became a soldier.

Then from the beginning of complaining, to the escape of living and dying together, to being saved by comrades-in-arms, and finally witnessing more cruel atrocities, and being entrusted with a sacred mission by reporters, after being saved again, he had the courage to move forward with a heavy load, and finally picked it up and grabbed it, becoming a real warrior.

These are the things that the protagonist as an individual can remember most in the war.

From a Western perspective, personal growth is the most important.

And the same thing from an oriental perspective, perhaps the protagonist finally takes a gun and joins the collective, and heroic resistance is the point.

But in Sidney's view, the beauty of this last scene is that Westerners see what Westerners love, and Orientals see what Orientals love.

It can be said that Lu Ping'an has perfectly solved the balance between individualism and collectivism, and at the same time, he cleverly borrowed ultra-high technical standards to show history in a special form.

And no one can turn a blind eye to such a show!

Sidney couldn't help but sigh: It is worthy of a safe road!

Then the applause began.

Then the rest of the crowd applauded.

Bang la

The theater lights come on.

The crowd applauded.

This is the purest respect for the film.

A super difficult one-shot movie.

It perfectly shows the technology and aesthetics, and can achieve the perfect combination with the plot.

Worthy of everyone's respect!

As for whether the film can still participate in the Oscars?

In Sidney's words: "If such a film does not participate in the Oscars, this Oscar will be nailed to the pillar of shame!" ”

In the afternoon of the same day, news about the viewing also spread in the media.

"Sidney: I'm glad that Director Lu can participate in this Oscar!"

"Coppola: This is another peak in film technology!"

"In one shot, Lu's new attempt is unimaginably perfect! —Los Angeles Times Review"

"The perfect combination of art and technology, after "Brokeback Mountain", Lu has another masterpiece, and it will also be another masterpiece of Hollywood technology in the world - Oscar Film Report Review"

"The tension of the film is indescribable, every war is a hellish experience, and although the story of "1937" has little to do with the world today, this does not prevent it from becoming the best war film since "Saving Private Ryan" - the Observer review"

""1937" director Lu Ping'an will definitely succeed again because of this film, and the key to his success in the film is that he is perfect and thoughtful in terms of technical preparation, and he is also very strong in terms of emotional presentation - CNN Network Review"

“.”

There is no doubt that the industry is shaken.

When everyone is still stuck in one shot to show the plot of ordinary small scenes.

A one-shot film that shows the big scenes of the war and achieves a perfect combination of technology, aesthetics and plot will inevitably have an incomparably shocking effect on the world film industry.

And as various film reviews came out, North American fans, ordinary media, and the people who eat melons were shocked.

Lu, who was still being questioned by various kinds not long ago, broke the doubts again?

How did this scene sound so familiar?

Fans who are familiar with Lu Ping'an have already made a noise on the Internet at this time.

"Never question Lu! He's the man who succeeded in resurrecting Batman! ”

"How many times? Lu's movies seem to be questioned before every release, and I feel sorry for Lu"

"The key is that you will be slapped in the face every time, how can a real man like Lu be beaten down so easily?"

"Are you so excited, have you watched the movie? Didn't you see what was exciting? ”

"I'm in Los Angeles right now, I've finished watching it, and all I can say is that Lu deserves to be the best director at the Oscar!"

"Where is it released? Why don't I have it here? ”

"Sheffield Theatre in Los Angeles, the movie has not been fully released yet, but it will be released here for a week and go through the process to hit the Oscars, but I think it will be released soon."

"I got it, come now"

Countless fans and industry insiders began to walk into the theater with expectations, curiosity and doubts.

For a time, the entrance of the Oscar-designated theater in Los Angeles was overcrowded. (End of chapter)
