The beginning of the film was dark, starting with the gunshots. Zhong Lianchang was injured in the attack on the enemy turret and was recuperating at Gazi's house. I think when people who are used to watching color movies go to see this movie again, you will find that the lens at that time was really powerful. The camera always takes the thoughts and feelings of the characters as the starting point when dealing with the light of the film. All light and shadow arrangements are dominated by characters, and at the same time, the atmosphere of the environment is highlighted to contrast the feelings of the characters, so that the scenes blend and the environment echoes the characters. The composition of the film is exquisite and concise, trying to prevent and hide some complicated lines, and striving to highlight the characters and main lines. The basic line in the picture is a dignified and powerful diagonal line. Close-ups of characters try to shoot from the side or semi-side angle, which increases Gazi's courage to fight. The fulcrum of composition is also a dynamic fulcrum biased to one side, which gives people a sense of progress and arouses the power to go forward bravely.

Of course, the most attractive image of the film is Gazi, witty and brave, but also stubborn, which makes people feel that Gazi is very cute. Stubborn Ga boy tried to wrestle with Xiao Pang's firecrackers, and finally took a bite of Xiao Pang and blocked others' chimneys to vent their anger. I think anyone who has seen this movie will recall the happy scene when he turned in the enemy's pistol and hid it in the bird's nest, and finally blew up the enemy's turret. Of course, a movie has a good side, but it also has shortcomings, that is, the second part of the movie, from Zhang Ga's arrest and interrogation to imprisonment and burning of the watchtower, can't stand scrutiny. The puppet troops guarding him acted like a complete straw bag. Gazi added fuel to the fire, and the puppet troops were unaware of it. After the fire spread, many enemies on the watchtower could do nothing about it. Such an enemy is too stupid, which is not correct. But people pay more attention to Gazi, a cute and witty Gazi, which left a deep childhood impression on young people like me.
