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 historical war drama about Mao Zedong and the Long March divides audiences between those appreciating its historical perspective and those frustrated by heavy-handed propaganda and technical shortcomings. Viewers consistently note the film's obvious political messaging, with stark visual contrasts between 'good guys' and 'bad guys,' while acknowledging the incredible real-life military miracle it attempts to portray.

    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…

    Western (and westernized) cinephiles will glaze RRR but then turn around and complain that this is "propaganda" because some grade school teacher told them that Mao killed 10000 morbillion people and they never questioned it or learned anything else about world history.

    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。
