Is 800 a documentary? What are the hidden details in this movie?

Recently, the film 800 directed by Guan Hu was shown in the cinema. It's a war drama, not a documentary. After its release, it was widely praised by the outside world. In fact, the film was ready for shooting as early as 20 17, and it was officially released in August this year. It is the first full-length digital IMAX film in Asia, and it is a war work conceived by film director Guan Hu for ten years, so the production inside is also very detailed.

This film is based on 1937 Battle of Songhu and tells the historical name. Eight hundred heroes? A reinforced battalion of the 524th Regiment of the 88th Division of the Third Theater of the Chinese National Revolutionary Army stuck to the four-row warehouse along the Suzhou River and stopped the Japanese army. There are many details in it, but what impressed me most was the helmets worn by the soldiers. The concave font in the middle is real. Nowadays, many war movies are round helmets, which is not consistent with the historical truth. And the way those soldiers carry grenades, they hang them on their chests instead of their waists. This detail is really touching. Few people pay attention to these small details now, but the director Guan Hu has done a good job.

Besides, are all the movie actors in it really from the entertainment circle? Mr. Six? Take Zhang Yi as an example. He plays an old abacus in the film and his acting skills are superb. Inside, his face is very haggard, and every crying scene is performed very incisively and vividly, and the performance is very natural and true. According to relevant sources in the industry, it is said that when Zhang Yi was filming this film, the cameraman outside was already crying, and even a weather-beaten film director like Guan Hu was impressed by his acting skills and shed a line of tears.

Therefore, it is a very good film, no matter from the details or the acting skills of the actors, or from the ideas of the director and screenwriter and the shooting of the photographer.
