"Born in the 1970s", as a film that shows the growth and struggle of young people in China's reform wave, has been highly anticipated before it was broadcast. The TV series has been airing for about half a month, but it has received mixed reviews from the audience.
The advantages of the film are very prominent: the theme is full of positive energy, the character acting skills are online, and the persuasiveness is exquisite.
The theme of the film is different from other romance dramas aired at the same time. Although it has an emotional part, it focuses more on the great changes of the era of reform and opening up. The children of three families have encountered three waves of reform, education reform, industrial reform, and institutional reform. They grew up in the poor 1970s, but they had to face the pain of reform.
Even now, when the reforms are quite effective, we are moved by the courage and tenacity of the three children, and we are ignited with the hope of continuing to work hard and pioneering and innovating in the new era. It can be said that every main theme drama either arouses people's disgust or ignites people's enthusiasm, and "Born in the 1970s" arouses people's hope for the future of individuals and the motherland, and arouses everyone's enthusiasm for building and moving forward. , which at least shows that this drama truly moved everyone and aroused the screams of the audience who are also in the midst of change.
Not to mention the character acting. Although the protagonists are not popular young talents, nor do they have outstanding looks, their acting skills make us feel the passion of people born in the 1970s. Taking the male and female protagonists as an example, Li Jiahang plays Yang Fan, an optimistic boy with excellent academic performance. Through his detailed control of emotions and meticulous polishing of body language, the audience can immediately feel the personality charm of Yang Fan's character.
Yao Di’s performance of Tan Yanfei’s persistence in dreams and persistence in love was very good, and the audience was moved by her smiles and tears.
Many viewers praised the period costumes and evocative props in the play. Enamel mugs, sea soul shirts, army green satchels, and pull-back shoes allow audiences born in the 1970s and 1980s to travel back in time. However, audiences born in the 1990s and 2000s will not be distracted by the show. Instead, they will be attracted by the costumes and props with the characteristics of the times. The scene strives to restore the 1970s. The unique factory buildings and white slogans full of era characteristics all show a clear sense of the times.
The shortcomings of the film are also obvious: the characters' logic is blunt and the plot lacks depth.
What has been criticized is that in order to cater to the plot theme, many times the characters act for the sake of the plot, but in fact there will be contradictions and conflicts with their own settings. Moreover, many plot twists are abrupt, and there is a suspicion of conflict for the sake of conflict.
The background of the times is huge, but when a film shows the changes of the times, it must stand from the perspective of the small and medium-sized people of the times, and cannot show the changes of the times as a big and vague concept. Little people cannot be allowed to follow the train of history and make sharp turns. The inertia is also something worth thinking about and expressing.
In general, "Born in the 1970s" is still a relatively good TV series worth watching. Among a bunch of romance films broadcast at the same time, it is one of the more outstanding films. Thinking about sex Stronger. But viewers also need to avoid the minefields and carefully consider following dramas.
