重交作业。。。 People pop into cinemas for different purposes—to be thrilled, to be entertained, to have an eyeful of their fond actors, to delve into the meaning of life. And films, if being a form of mass entertainment and opting for a success in the office box, have to take care of all these matters. This sophistication, from a technical point of view, obviously would tough small-budget films.The recently released film, Great Rescue, which endeavors to reveal a rarely-known historical episode in the hard times of Japan's invasion of China, was no exception. The story took place in a waterside town, where a distinguished merchant, also known as a key founding member of Sun Yet-Sen's Tongmenghui went out of his way to protect the identity of the exile leader of Korean Independent movement against the Japanese occupation, who was then wildly searched by the Japanese imperialist govenment. One has to admit that the balance between a faithful rendering of the story and the embellishment even further contributed to the hardship of the making of this film. Audience can not expect the scenes in this film as specta- cular as those in big-budget espionage films.If you are let down by this factor, you ask for it~~ Thus, in view of such circumstances, Great Rescue cannot be really much faulted. As Winston Chao, playing the leading role and many viewers have commented, this is an honest film that have tried its best. The story hangs together as whole. Winston beautifully played a 'cat and mouse' game with the Japanese villain in a poised manner. The avarice mayor, and Kuang, a heroic local troop leader looking a little rebellious at first sight, were also fleshed out. Our hats go off and heart go to the team. Without them, many of us probably would never have the opportunity to learn about those crucial moments, in the absence of which,who knows how the story would be different.
