The plot evaluation "* * * and Si Nuo" takes 1936 to 1972 as the theme of the 36-year sincere friendship with Si Nuo. It shows the continuous friendship between the two great men in ideological communication and exchange, shows how the eastern and western cultures met, collided, exchanged and blended in the bitter revolutionary war in China and the sharp opposition between the east and the west during the Cold War, and also reflects the new.

Richard Giquel, an American film historian, once said that "an exciting theme is far more important than the stars and genres themselves". The creator of * * * and Si Nuo took a fancy to the unusual theme of this film, and devoted all his efforts to writing this unusual song, which gave great power to the great theme.

* * * and Si Nuo are masterpieces with unique artistic characteristics. The film adopts the "parallel line" technique interwoven with realistic framework and historical review. A main line reflects the beginning, development and * * process of the friendship between two great men, and an auxiliary line depicts Si Nuo's later life, which makes the audience constantly feel the inner impact in the comparison of the two periods and can't help but be moved. Actors from eight countries participated in the film, and American young man Gardner and Canadian retired diplomat Pang Shun played young and old Si Nuo respectively. Mrs. Si Nuo and other roles were played by Counsellor of the Canadian Embassy in China, British students, Syrian electronic engineer, Palestinian Arabic translator, French movie master, students from the University of Minnesota, and Spanish Embassy in China business counselor. Friends from eight countries wrote a magnificent song for international friends, explaining the story of great men. The film breaks through the procedure of describing great men and pays attention to the subtle changes in the hearts of great men. In the film, Chairman Mao lightens the peasants' burden of paying grain, Pegasus visits the wounded of the Red Army, and a Red Army cadre shoots and kills an innocent woman and is executed, which shows the friendship, affection, husband and wife and comrades-in-arms of great men in trivial life. Therefore, the film not only shows the magnificent historical scenes such as the huge picture scrolls of the Yellow River, the Yangtze River, the Taihang Mountain and the loess high slope, but also shows the characters and ideological connotation clearly in the audience's mind from the four silver dollars given to Si Nuo by the Chairman to the octagonal hat of the Red Army worn by Si Nuo during his lifetime.

* * * and Si Nuo are highly condensed history of China's modern diplomacy and Sino-US relations. There is actually a third line in the film, that is, the "dark" line of new China diplomacy and Sino-US relations. The arrival of Si Nuo opened a window for China people to publicize and communicate with other countries in their arduous struggle, and it also became an important part of China people's early diplomatic work. From the founding of New China to 1960, Si Nuo's repeated attempts to visit China were blocked by the American authorities, which reflected the "frozen period" when two world powers on both sides of the Pacific were hostile to each other and blocked communication during the Cold War. When Si Nuo received an invitation to be President Nixon's special correspondent in Switzerland in his later years, the relationship between China and the United States turned to a turning point. At the end of the film, a few cheerful subtitles tell people that China and the United States, two great countries that have been hostile for a long time, have finally established diplomatic relations. At this moment, Mr. Si Nuo, who devoted his life to Sino-US friendship and regarded the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and the United States as his greatest expectation, suddenly passed away, leaving many regrets and helplessness, which also triggered the audience's endless thinking about China's diplomacy and Sino-US relations ...
