Synopsis

Mao Zedong led the Red Army, crossing the Chishui River four times, creating a classic example of warfare in the history of war and a legend of guerrilla warfare.
Moviegoers are saying
This Chinese war epic about Mao Zedong's military campaigns has sparked polarizing reactions, with audiences fascinated by the historical subject matter but deeply frustrated by heavy-handed propaganda filmmaking. Viewers consistently note Mao's omnipresent cigarette smoking and the film's unsubtle visual storytelling that uses dutch angles for villains and soaring music for heroes.

    Watched in a cheap theater in Beijing with no subs but luckily the filmmakers made sure that every time the Bad Guys (KMT) were on screen there were dutch angles and looming nationalist flags and every time the Good Guys (Mao) were on screen there was soaring orchestral…

    The only reason I stay at this movie was because to learn about cinema and its aspects, I need to not only know why something works but also know why something does not work. Every second of this movie falls into that second statement.

    灾难级别的叙事，俗套的煽情桥段，奇怪的配音台词，混乱的剪辑镜头，心疼我周末的两个小时。
