Out of Amazon

Focus: the Breakthrough of Genre Films

At the beginning of the Millennium, influenced by Hollywood genre films, China films are striving to break through while sticking to their own traditions. Among them, Out of Amazon (2002) has attracted much attention for its impressive audio-visual wonders and novel stories. Say it briefly.

Theme. The prototype of the story is the scout lieutenant Hu He. 1999, sent to Venezuela Light Cavalry School in South America to participate in the 8th special international anti-guerrilla training. This training camp is famous for its cruel extreme training and is called "animal camp" by local soldiers. The elimination rate of this issue was 38%, and they all became foreign troops who only passed the exam. It can be said that the heroism and adventurous spirit of the story prototype endow the film with a suspenseful and dynamic story foundation and enrich the military theme films.

Narrator Different from the heroic prototype of the story, Henry Hui Wang, the hero of the film who came from a military family, and Hu Xiaolong, a rich second-generation college student, were at a disadvantage in height as soon as they appeared in the Hunter School, so they were laughed at by their peers. The narrative strategy of suppressing before promoting not only creates suspense, but also paves the way for the next plot development. In addition, the film has two narrative lines, one is to show the hardships of training, and the other is to hunt down drug dealers. The two lines are intertwined to remind the audience that any military training is not an armchair strategist, and everything is based on actual combat.

Audiovisual ancient and mysterious Amazon, hard and cruel military sub-division training and dangerous actual combat tasks have created exciting and tense audiovisual effects. A lot of use of dynamic photography, holding hands on your shoulders, presents such visual effects as bumps, shaking and chasing, which will make you feel uncomfortable watching movies, but create a real sense of training. Photographers with cameras have to come out of the mud and go in the wind, which is particularly hard. For example, Hu Xiaolong and Johnson fought in the mud pit, and the producer's perspective and objective perspective alternately presented, feeling the power of close combat.

Theme. Different eras have different themes. It is the efforts of film artists in different times that make generations of China soldiers understand their mission. In 1950s and 1960s, China's military films mainly eulogized revolutionary heroism, such as Independent Brigade. In the 1980s and 1990s, epics reappeared large-scale battles in China's history, such as Armageddon series and Opium War. For thousands of years, based on real events, whether it's the devil training in the hunter school, the "operation mekong" to combat drug trafficking internationally, or the "Red Sea Action" to rescue compatriots across the sea ..., it shows the elegance of contemporary soldiers from different aspects while being well-made.
