My People, My Country

A well done film with a distinct slice of life, unsung heroes theme. Each piece is more of a glimpse into people who lived throughout various momentous periods in Chinese history, rather than especially focused around plot development. A little bit heavy handed with the patriotism theme, but that's to be expected considering the movie's purpose. Although in my opinion there were two standout stories, all seven pieces were interesting and distinct enough that time didn't drag on.

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.

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.

First off all I'm not Chinese, but I did enjoyed this movie very much. I should give 9 star for it, but the extra star is for the Chinese people. All the stories was very moving, except the last one. China has a great history and of course, they are proud for them country. It is not a propaganda movie, just make they citizens love China more and nothing wrong with that. If you looking for political propaganda, you should look in the mirror! This move made $300 million dollars in six days, but here , just shows $2 million profit "world wide?!". Why the Chinese gross isn't including the World? What is it, if not political propaganda against China. Also nobody mentioned, all the actors and directors made it for free. All the proceeds goes to the poor people and it is true, not BS! Think about, how great the people's are in China, how much they achieved in 70 years, started almost from nothing!

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"?
