The main reason is that the 800 films did not describe the history completely, but only promoted the heroic War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression of the Kuomintang army in fragments, and its background, context and consequences were obscure, which was more reflective and educational. These things only highlight the tragic battle unilaterally, without any explanation or educational significance, and will only easily arouse blind patriotism and the Boxer Rebellion.
Because older people know that history and don't want to see it, but they can't bear to see it. The movie is a good movie, and the theme is also a good theme. I can't bear to see it, because that history has been engraved in my bones! The post-80s and post-70s are not unwilling to watch, but forced by life, serving the elderly or looking after children at home. There is too little time for yourself. There is plenty of time after 90 s and 00 s, and most of them belong to a state where one person is full and the whole family is not hungry. The post-60s and post-50s are too old to watch such movies. These two generations are really in the initial stage of the founding of New China, and they are endowed with unique advantages. They can't control their emotions. When they are old, they can't get too excited, or their bodies can't stand it.
The release date of 800 is in a special period. Affected by the epidemic, the attendance rate of cinemas is limited, but at the same time, 800 will become a "darling" and be highly sought after. The cinema has been closed for half a year, and many movie lovers have been waiting for the gate to open, just like the water stored in the dam. Now when the floodgate is opened, the water inside will rush out desperately.
For the post-80s and post-90s generation, War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression-themed TV dramas have been boiling with blood for many years. As a post-00 generation, they are in the mood of love, so they need such a movie to let them know that today's life is hard-won. Ignite their blood and never forget the national humiliation. So, when I saw this problem, I was quite happy. Because I see blood flowing!
