Seven passenger cars and oil tankers derailed in the earthquake. Two large highway bridges on the Jiyun Canal and Luanhe River collapsed, cutting off the road traffic between Tangshan and Tianjin and the outside of the customs.

The work of rebuilding our homeland began at the end of 1976 and at 1978. 10 years later, a thriving new Tangshan appeared in China.

The enlightenment of Tangshan earthquake is short-lived

The expression of post-criticism is flexible and diverse, which basically belongs to the category of discussion, but writing is different from general argumentative essays because it must be based on reading. Simply speaking, it is the feeling after watching. It is important to describe the feeling as follows:

Tangshan Earthquake is not a simple disaster film, let alone a spectacular special effects film. Although its earthquake special effects scene is very shocking, the focus of director Xiaogang Feng is obviously not here.

From the dragonfly flying all over the sky before the earthquake to the terrible ruins after the earthquake, this process only takes about half an hour, and the next two hours of mental "aftershocks" are the key content of the film. Xiaogang Feng, the director, obviously used the method of convergence to incite emotions, instead of being unrestrained like some bitter TV series.

If the film paves the way for the happy life of the protagonists before the earthquake for a longer time, then the tragic intensity of the comparison before and after will be greater. In addition, for a long time in the middle of the film, the narrative of life after the separation of mother and son was slightly trivial and dull, which separated the tragic atmosphere of the whole film to some extent.

Extended data

Main plot:1On the night of July 27th, 976, a strong earthquake with a magnitude of 7.8 occurred in Tangshan area, resulting in the collapse of houses and numerous victims. Facing the dangerous house that is about to collapse, husband Fang Daqiang and wife Li Yuanni are going to rescue the trapped children Deng Fang and Fang Da.

At the critical moment, Fang Daqiang stopped his wife and died when he rushed in for rescue. After the earthquake, Li Yuanni found a pair of children trapped at both ends of a concrete slab. If they want to be saved, they must sacrifice one side. In desperation, she made a difficult choice-to save her brother. This incident became an indelible secret pain in Fontaine's heart. Later, she was adopted by soldier Wang Deqing and his wife.

After the college entrance examination, Deng Fang entered Hangzhou Medical College and fell in love with his graduate brother Yang Zhi. Fang Da was rescued, but his arm was broken. Li Yuanni raised him with selfless maternal love. As an adult, Fonda traveled to Hangzhou, married his daughter-in-law, Xiaohei, and made some achievements. Thirty-two years later, the fate of this family overlapped again because of the 5. 12 Wenchuan earthquake.

Depth analysis of Tangshan earthquake

The sense of the times is the root of historical disaster movies. Xiaogang Feng, who came out of "satire", established the sense of the times of ordinary people in his early years, and later established the sense of the times of a generation with great tragedy.

But in the Tangshan earthquake, the situation became difficult. It's too familiar-after all, it's only 40 years since the Tangshan earthquake, but it's very vague-after all, many people haven't experienced that special history personally. Xiaogang Feng must find an appropriate balance point, organically linking the grandeur and massiness of history with the greatness and mediocrity of human nature.

Human beings are small in the face of disasters, but human nature is great. As the most successful commercial film director in China, Xiaogang Feng used his unique acumen and wisdom to sniff out the uniqueness of the Tangshan earthquake. Between the greatness of family and the impermanence of life, he accurately found a touching emotional outlet.

Although the title of "Tangshan Earthquake" is very grand, the Tangshan Earthquake is only the background of this film. Just like the English name of the movie "Aftershock", the earthquake is terrible, but living is the beginning of everything.

This film focuses on the separation and reunion of the family before the earthquake, which coincides with the context of the original novel: the great destructive power brought by the disaster is revealed through the spiritual entanglement of two generations.

Xiaogang Feng's cleverness lies in keeping the scene of the disaster within a moderate range, but he has spent a lot of space on how people with internal trauma live after the disaster. After all, the house can be rebuilt when it collapses, and the whole life will be finished when feelings and beliefs collapse.

A sudden huge natural disaster actually lasted only 23 seconds, but it was a long 32 years for a mother and daughter in the film.

People have feelings. In the face of disaster, anyone will hesitate and hesitate, unable to make the choice of "saving the small or saving the big". It is precisely because the film designed such a plot breakthrough point that many viewers fell into emotional entanglements, leading to a story spanning 30 years.

In Tangshan Earthquake, the main story line is clearly divided into three sections, namely, mother Li Yuanni, sister Deng Fang and younger brother Fang Da. They are all survivors of the Tangshan earthquake, but they have encountered different life experiences because of the difficult choice of "saving the small or saving the big".

In a sense, my sister's "luck" was basically saved by the People's Liberation Army, and she lived happily and sweetly with the adoptive parents of military officers for so many years. She went to college and became a single mother, but she still got the support of her family.

The adoptive father played by Chen seems to be a functional role, but the forbearance and tolerance from the heart, the care for the adopted daughter and the powerlessness of touching the bottom line make the main line of the eldest sister full of drama.

Xu Fan's mother Li Yuanni is the key figure in this film. At that time, she had to give up the big one in order to save the small one, which was a knot that she could not untie all her life. Somehow, she knew that her daughter was not dead. It can be said that it was a mother's unswerving intuition that supported him through the 30 years after the earthquake.

At the end of the film, the long-lost mother and daughter meet at their father's grave, which is the most emotional part of the film. Xu Fan's explosive and layered "crying drama" seemed to vent his feelings for half a lifetime, which could not help but move the audience.

Although Xiaogang Feng tries to exercise restraint in the handling of emotional dramas, he still can't get rid of the biggest drawback of bitter dramas-grandstanding. In the face of great sadness, both the emotional trend of this film and the mother played by Xu Fan will involuntarily shift to the color of sadness.

In addition, the film tries to combine the emotional trend of the characters with the changes of the times and the development of society, but from the final film, this attempt is a failure. Overexaggerated feelings dilute the key element of the times, and the audience's thoughts and thoughts revolve around the emotional entanglement of a mother and daughter, selectively ignoring the similarities and differences brought about by different times and backgrounds.
