How to evaluate the movie Above the Clouds?

The film Above the Clouds stands out, and no one who has seen it will be surprised.

At the just-concluded Beijing International Film Festival, Above Dark Clouds won three awards of the Temple of Heaven: Best Photography Award, Best Actor Award (Group Actor) and Best Film. From Shanghai International Film Festival to Beijing International Film Festival, Above Dark Clouds has completed the process from appearance to inscription, even though it has not been officially released.

Poetic aesthetics, literary war films, philosophy of death ... many seemingly inappropriate labels constitute this war-themed film.

This narrative film, set in the war of liberation, tells the story of how the young Red Army soldier Hong Qichen and his teammates will choose between "survival" and "faith" after receiving the military order that "the enemy ammunition depot must be blown up within 48 hours" and before the almost impossible task. The film tells a revolutionary and loyal military action in 1935 with poetic film aesthetics, and discusses the relationship between man and war in the interweaving of cruelty and poetry, life and death.

A few days ago, the cover journalist talked to Chen Weixin, the actor of Above the Clouds, to learn how he participated in and understood the film.
