The Eight Hundred

One of the most powerful war movies ever made. This is an homage to the bravery honor and the sacrifice that makes a soldier. The sacred cause that motivates a person to fight kill and die selflessly. If you understand this cost you will appreciate your life and your freedom.

Dog water, selling hot dogs in china?😂 foh

Highly recommended. Aside from being a top-notch war movie with high production value, realism and beautiful visuals, the movie is groundbreaking in being perhaps the first Chinese-produced war movie to candidly portray the nationalist army - the good and the bad - and examine the deep divides and contrasts in China's early struggle to self-identify as a nation state. This is at times conveyed heavy-handedly, with obvious contrasts drawn between the international concessions and the Chinese sovereign territories; but it also manifests in more subtle ways, shown through the childhood tunes hummed by the soldiers and township mementos they carry. All in all, a surprisingly honest and self-searching look at the birth of the modern Chinese state disguised as a well-rounded war film.

idk it was good for a chinese movie

Um filme realmente muito bom! Apesar do começo necessitar de um pouco mais de atenção para entender complemente a história se você não conhecer sobre a guerra retratada, o filme decorre com o tanto de tragédia, carnificina e drama necessário para te envolver e se emocionar com os personagens apresentados. Um filme que merece mais reconhecimento

My teeth hurt and my feet ache.

A very good film and show me that how tragic the counter-Japanese war is.

Any human must witness the history. This chapter is unforgetable and shall forever be remembered. I wholeheartedly saluted the director and actors for their outstanding performances. The picture is beautiful, battle is realistic and sound effect is great. I love this movie. It made me tear and cries more than i could imagine. Please share it out and support this movie !!!

São nesses filmes de guerra que temos a mais absoluta certeza que nesse tipo de evento só morrem pessoas inocentes, de ambos os lados, e os únicos culpados são os governantes, os bandidos de colarinho branco, atrás de suas mesas confortavelmente no ar condicionado, enquanto milhares de jovens, homens e mulheres se autodestrói impiedosamente, triste, trágico, um filme lindo e longo, excelente produção, ótima ambientação e linda fotografia...

This movie is a lot, too much. There's so much going on that sometimes it's hard to keep track of all the characters, or even have an emotional attachment to them. But the the Chinese do know how to make some fine epic action scenes. This has some brutal action, but you don't feel anything for the characters though. If I was Chinese I sure as hell would've been moved by this film. It's Chinese Nationalism through the roof. There's an almost unintentionally comedic scene where they're raising the Chinese flag on top of the warehouse and a Japanese plane keeps mowing them down and knocking the flag over. Men keep coming over and putting it back up. It cause all the men, and people across the river in Shanghai to shed 1 tear. They made sure so see every single face that was shedding that tear. Overall it's a damn fine war epic, shot and directed brilliantly. It is an incredible true story that, needed a movie like this to honor those men who gave their lives.
