The instructor's part in the movie is not much, but the crew still caught a detail:
Historically, the instructor never used a lighter to smoke, only matches one by one, and he liked to catch the fire with a cigarette butt.
Mr. Tang accurately restored this habit of the instructor.
2 The banner during the speech
Song was giving a speech to soldiers of the Ninth Corps when a banner flashed in the background.
The banner read: Taiwan must be liberated
Here is a detail that honors history and restores it.
At the time, Song Shilun's 9th Corps was indeed preparing for the sea crossing battle to liberate Taiwan, so it was normal to have that banner behind it.
3 The meaning of the red scarf
The red scarf here can be interpreted in two ways.
The first can be seen as a continuation of the red spirit.
There is a similar episode in "The Battle of Huaihai" where a woman gives her scarf to a young soldier.
The second can be seen as a sign that Wu Wanli is starting to grow up.
A wild child of the river, stepping out of his village and getting his first exposure to the outside world, could also be the first time he has a crush on a woman.
Afterward, Wanli has been unable to throw away the red scarf, the red color represents the fiery hope in the snow and ice, and also represents the hope of returning to the motherland.
4 Miles of the Great Wall
The disobedient Wu Wanli tried to jump off the train, and others came forward to stop him.
The moment the door opened, the Great Wall of China was illuminated by the light of the sunrise.
Miles was shocked by the sight and couldn't say a word for a long time.
Chen Kaige is said to have directed most of the literary scenes in Changjin Lake.
