With most audience, I know the earliest " big bomb " when this film project, care above all, it is the historical incident of its place focusing.
"Chongqing big bomb " , it is a pain spot that never can forget on history of our China War of Resistance Against Japan. It happens during Chinese War of Resistance Against Japan, the aggressor at that time undertook indiscriminate strategy bomb to Chongqing, time span is as long as 6 years 10 months (come from Feburary 1938 December 1944) !
(historical picture)
According to not complete count, this persistent strategy bomb is amounted to 218 times, the plane that dispatch amounts to 9000 much sortie, drop a bomb 11500 above, caused the death of more than 10000 civilian common people, destroy place to build a building to even more 17600!
(historical picture)
It is during this very cruel bomb, in the air attack that aggressor amounts to 5 hours in the one subaltern June 1941, force a large number of peoples to emerge to the channel of common air defense at that time, because the number is overmuch, the space is insufficient, add the high temperature when be duped, bring about whole bomb shelter to appear serious anoxic circumstance, on 10 thousand avoid difficult people took place crowded, trample and asphyxial, caused murder case of appalling air defence channel finally, history say " big channel massacre " !

Look in me, this is the history that the metropolis that each Chinese hears feels distress, also be a paragraph of history that must want engrave. Move this paragraph of history big screen, show the bitter event that that history period produces, I consider as " big bomb " a when place of this film project has principal port.
But regretful is, film from prepare can show in home, be paid close attention to by the masses and discuss at most, it is however with " money " a series of concerned issues.
(the film " big bomb " notional placard)
Film from hearsay film spent 78 100 million, to during filming, capital number is spent remove endowment, the fund that uses some to total producer again is broken, and before paragraph time is famous the relevant incident that compere Mr. Cui uncovers, the film " big bomb " the whole thing be immersed in public opinion disturbance for many times, mix almost " money " about.
Because this " money " thing, let this film be immersed in for many times it is difficult to film, also for many times disturbance of public opinion of be involved in. Before as a result was not shown at be being returned, " big bomb " left not little negative impression to the masses, still let many people produce bias to its even. Tell candidly, I because of that a series of public opinion disturbance, reduced the expectation to this to be worth greatly.

But face doubt sound, " big bomb " the government also responds to relevant hearsay several times, strive clear the air. Both sides places evidence each, below action of lively public opinion field, whole episode has become complicated and confusing, cannot leave final conclusion temporarily. This affected my judgement to this film greatly, when brushing fabaceous valve till recently, saw " big bomb " video of a few titbits, expect the value just had a few change.
I am seeing that about advocate when achieving the titbits that seeks detail, discover its arrive to wait for historical setting toward channel of day door dock, bomb shelter greatly, small of dress of the group bid to team of battleplan, flying tiger, actor deserve to act the role of, bowls vintage mahjong, birdcage and its inside are small new old rate is waited a moment, have very meticulous fine. Or according to make than the scale of one, or is reductive arrive most the appearance that resembles that period, manner of this kind of creation makes me feel open-eyed.

Additional, the air battle that I think this relates air man story namely formerly piece, but after seeing relevant prevue, discover its content is not mere air battle of bureau be confined to. It still has " unexpected " person style shows: Below the warlike gunfire of miserable intense, film unexpectedly with the gimmick close to warmth and happiness, those who presented a few nobodies is daily.
The Cui Sanshu of model Wei personate, carrying house of birdcage bubble mahjong, with good friends boast helps the daily life of a family; Feng Yuan asks for the Xue slam of personate, managing a cafes, have with clients say to have laugh, still organize mahjong contest. The life that these two nobody place present is daily, in the warlike environment of gunfire reaching the sky, do not appear abrupt, instead more show true: Because of them final place wants to deliver, still be common people actually people be held in the arms when facing a battle those who hold is hopeful with castiron manner.
(titbits video cut pursues)
My understanding is, add the element with these nobody daily lives, to the film of subject matter of a war, can turn the warmth of a heartstrings that strike a person into force occasionally. Pass just about show common people people on the happiness in daily life and their spirit hopeful, castiron and hold a group in the arms to warm oneself, the cruelty that brings with the war and miserable intense form tremendous contrast, bring emotion concussion thereby.
From to war life hopeful, arrive to the war dauntless with castiron, like Cui Sanshu and Xue slam these common people place are shown come live condition and mentation, can mirror already common people lives at that time by warlike broken cruelty, showed the ethos with adamant common people again, what can cause an audience is resonant.

They are most in the brutal environment that the person handles a battle personally, enduring tremendous life menace, still approach the life can hopefully however, itself is very august.
And when the assault that faces aggressor, can solidarity, mutual help, ground of unity is strength shows castiron spirit, enough touchs popular feeling. Greatly, they are in as the body purgatorial, but those hopeful and castiron spirit, ignited a kind of hope.
(photodrama is illuminated)
This lets me feel, when we discuss this film, although a lot of things besides the film are open to question really, but when wanting to examine it really, still had better return to film itself. We throw in case first those public opinion besides the film or hearsay, as far as possible rational look upon this film, can discover more is worth expectant drop.
For instance in front allude about " Chongqing big bomb " and " big channel massacre " of incident of this kind of history return, it is " big bomb " the one big hotspot of this film. Can serve as subject matter with such historical incident, move it to big screen to let more person see, understanding arrives in that way a history is true story, itself is a very significant issue. The audience engrave that it can let take the place of with non-leap year that paragraph of painful history, what also can let an audience realise peace is precious.
How can it show this paragraph of history? What kind of manner can you emphasize again? This makes a person curious.

For instance this is planted the processing of warlike subject matter, actually to all film worker character, not be a very comfortable thing. Well-known, all along of warlike subject matter is patted harder, be similar to " deliver soldier luck grace " , " mountain of bloody battle hacksaw " , " honest engraves Er to overcome " such warlike movie, film the job also all previous classics a variety of difficulty. And " big bomb " such subject matter, a lot of audience itself have knowledge to this incident, the means that how uses the film has told this story, need to do a large number of works.
(photodrama is illuminated)
From what see at present prevue and relevant data can understand, direct xiao sharp edge to be in narrative on introduced 3 lines: The sky, on the road and on the ground. "The sky " the story that this line basically relates air man, "On the road " this line basically tells about a teacher to guide a flock of children all the way the story of experience danger, "On the ground " the old practice that this line basically describes Japanese army of antagonism of a few nobodies in cafes.
(photodrama is illuminated)
Still for instance this film to go after the history true and reductive, certainly will needs to throw many technical application, no matter be,fighting in sky still is ground bomb, want to use a lot of specially good effect necessarily.
(film stage photo and historical contrast pursue)
Although I so the understanding that says to be able to let partial reader develop another some of level, but resemble in front of place respecting in that way, handle this film, we should not be hold tight is worn only the public opinion disturbance besides its content spreads out discuss, also should not take bias to treat the quality of this film itself, try a bit ground goes to cogency look upon it, also can find the drop that you expect probably.
" big bomb " it is after all should be pushed the film that accepts doubt to where the wind and the waves are highest, or can one bring pair of histories to brood with awe-stricken film? Might as well wait and see what happens.
