Films like this are called ‘zhuxuanlu’ in China, ‘main melody’, meaning something that whistles the Communist Party’s song. Three world renowned directors, Chen Kaige, Dante Lam and the legendary Tsui Hark, the highest budget ever for a Chinese Mainland movie and massive simultanious distribution nation-wide have created a blockbuster that succeeds cinematically and fails nevertheless. Unlike Guan Hu’s THE EIGHT HUNDRED that had to be hammered into patriotic shape by massive recutting after being finished, this was ready-made to fit the party line perfectly. Brave PVA soldiers vs the evil hordes of capitalism. Nope.
So this movie is a “state movie, towing the party line?”
I was just reading on the site “What’s on Weibo” — I have never visited this site and found it through surfing news — and found an article by Manya Koetse, entitled “The Unforgotten Victory:” “Why ‘The Battle at Lake Changjin’ “Is One of China’s Biggest Films Yet, NOV 4, 2021)” (Whew! The site asks that you properly acknowledge site/author when quoting :-))
The film: “…became the highest-grossing film anywhere in the world during the first weekend of October, beating the much-anticipated James Bond movie No Time to Die.” And “it became an unprecedented box office hit after it premiered on September 30, just one day before the celebration of the National Day of the People’s Republic of China.”
