A movie-watching and exchange event that crosses the generational gap
According to the analysis by the theater manager, the movie is divided into low- and young-oriented, parent-child, and adult-oriented according to the target audience.
"Changjin Lake" breaks this distinction and has become the most comprehensive and complicated work in which he has been in the industry for so many years.
In the cinema, there are friends and colleagues of the same age who meet up, and there are also children with children, and there are also many rare customers-many elderly people actively request to watch the movie.
"This situation reminds me of the grand occasion when a family regarded going to the theater as a major family event in the 1980s and 1990s. The popularity of "Changjin Lake" also heated up the entire movie market. The major theaters reproduced the long-lost crowds, and some golden shows. There was a scene where a ticket was hard to find."

This is the best'egg' of "Changjin Lake"." School of Journalism, Renmin University of China Doctoral student Li Zhengguan expressed a lot of emotion after the filming, "What I can feel is not only moving and inspiring, but also a kind of national spirit that is passed on from generation to generation. Especially for students, "Changjin Lake" is like A profound and vivid ideological and political class, we can use it as a basis for self-cultivation. It inspires us to uphold the legacy of heroes, fear hardships and hardships, and forge ahead."
A giant war epic that looks at history and the present
Among the many war films, why can "Changjin Lake" become a phenomenal work?
The creators are not limited to simply restoring the history, but through unique artistic techniques to bring long-standing historical stories into real life, extract huge power of faith from them, respond to realistic demands, and lead the development of the times.
This is where the literary and artistic works exert their tremendous spiritual power.
In the film, "Lei Gong" said when he sacrificed: "Don't leave me here alone." In reality, the eighth batch of martyrs from the Korean Volunteer Army was buried in the remains of the Korean Volunteer Army in early September.
"Thinking that the volunteer soldiers who crossed the Yalu River with brilliance like the'Lei Gong' became a martyr's coffin covered with a national flag when they returned to China. The film's approach of starting from history and contemplating reality is impressive." Beijing Normal University Ji Yunguang, a graduate student of the College of Art and Media, said about his impressions.
Zhan Qingsheng, a professor at the School of Military Culture of the National Defense University, noticed another detail related to reality.
"This film is actually a prequel to the TV series "Soldier Assault." The story of the TV series to resist U.S. aggression and aid Korea is actually the seventh interspersed deeds in the film. The immortal hero is only the glory of the soldier. In the TV series, it becomes the famous phrase "Don't abandon, don't give up". Between Wu Wanli No. 677 and Xu Sanduo No. 4956, what is shown is not only the hero steel seven Lien’s inheritance is even more the spiritual vein of the heroic Chinese army."
"From this perspective, "Changjin Lake" was released on the National Day archive at the right time. It has swept away the sluggishness that has appeared in the film and television industry in recent years, and has effectively promoted the sacrifice of soldiers. Tell young people in a way that is easily acceptable to them that volunteer soldiers are the "stars" that should be pursued the most in this era." said Chen Xianyi, the former director of the Literature and Art Department of the People's Liberation Army Daily.
The practical significance of "Changjin Lake" is also reflected in its contribution to the development of the film industry.
Audiences who have watched the movie will find that the ending subtitles are particularly long because more than 12,000 people participated.
More than that, the filming also set a number of domestic film history records.
More than 70,000 extras participated in the performance, super large-scale costumes and military equipment preparations, over 100 kilometers of battle tactics design... a series of data fully demonstrated the strong strength of current Chinese movies.
At present, the number of screens in the Chinese film market has exceeded 80,000, with an annual output of about 1,000 films and a box office of nearly 10 billion U.S. dollars. It is a well-deserved film power.
"War film is a type that can collectively reflect a country's film industry, film production level and comprehensive capabilities of the film industry. In the process of moving from a film country to a film power, the appearance of "Changjin Lake" has comprehensively improved China's film production and special effects. And the level of industrialization can be called the benchmark and peak work of war films in the new era." Associate Professor Liang Junjian from the School of Journalism and Communication of Tsinghua University concluded.
