My People, My Country

Let just get this out of the way. I am not Chinese and I am not a student of Chinese history. While watching I can understand that it will invoke a lot of emotions to people who have lived through these events but for outsiders it will have less of an impact. This is unavoidable so bear that in mind when you go to watch it.

Now that being said, I rather enjoyed it. It is very well made with a lot of attention to detail. I've been told that the representation of the people and the way things were back then (clothes, TVs etc) are very accurate. So while we can get the nostalgia of it we can see more about China's history.

I am a bit confused as it mixes history with stories so it's hard to know how accurate it is. (for example the first story is about a real person while the second may or may not have happened)

Also as its seven stories in does feel a bit too rushed in character development. It is understable but for me makes it feel more forced than I would have liked.

Overall, I'd say watch it for the history and maybe it will make you interested enough to dig further yourself into China's history.

Things of note, I finally found a Chinese child actor I thought as great They have a story similar to capt marvel but done better

I love this movie. I would give it a 9 star. 8 for the movie itself and 1 for my personal experience. This movie is nothing as I expected. I thought it would focus more on country but it is not. Just as the name says, MY PEOPLE MY COUNTRY. People comes before Country. I like how the film describes each story from an individual person's perspective and how those milestone occurred in China's growing process affect her people. You don't have to be an soldier or a scientist to contribute. There are lots you can do as an ordinary person. This film shows love between friends, families, partners and all different types of love build up to the love of the land, the country and the people.

The relatively best of the seven is Ning Hao's "Hello Beijing" and Guan Hu's "Eve". The two directors have extensive commercial film experience. Their stability is precisely because they have adopted the most classic and traditional dramas. mode. Ning Hao chose the character-driven arc to show the dramatic tension. Although the plot development is strongly predictable and outdated, it has to be said to be the most complete. Only the taxi driver played by Ge You in the seven departments is The most humanized and closest to the lives of citizens, the unique sense of market humor in Ning Hao's movies minimizes stereotypes here, so "Hello Beijing" can even be said to have author characteristics.

Play "Little people in big events" or "little people meet big events" are not only about methodology but also about values.

Audiovisual Close-ups, slow motion, and music rendering are overused, like TV specials.

theme In addition to "national power", should we also show "people's wealth"?

It is just a great movie for Chinese audiences. People held typical stereotype against communist party or Chinese people would never understand it. The first two stories are inspiring and touching. Stories in Beijing and Shanghai are also fun to watch. Ge You delivered high quality performance as usual with so much fun. Hong Kong piece is hard to act but not bad. I would rather give it a 9 score for this movie but Kaige Chen showed his father love to his son Feiyu Chen which made some scenes and performance awkward.

To sacrifice your love, family and everything, just to make the government LOOK GOOD even it's dirty and rotten inside? And this is something to be proud of and cry for? I honestly don't see the point here, but at least we can see how far someone can go after getting brainwashed. Probably nowadays only people from China and Northern Koreans will feel for this film.
