The PRC’s action movie-cum-military propaganda is a ride into the boring zone.
Interesting how two sides of the same coin can look so different.It has fighter planes, dogfights, hotshot pilots with a need for speed and a bone to pick with one another, wise old hands, and of course, patriotic chest-beating.Nothing to do with the jingoistic lines — “The sky and the land belongs to China”, “I want to perfect our fighter planes to get them to the frontline for revenge”. Any scriptwriter in a parallel universe can turn those quips into Hollywood ones.
The main thing is this. Story-wise, both flicks — East and West versions — are as different as chalk and cheese. Actually, as different as America’sBorn To Fly I tell you, it’s simply fascinating to peek behind the bamboo curtain for China’s POV here. More ominously, this looks like the PRC’s movie-cum-foreign-policy-statement regarding how the whole techno game is going to change from now on.is a serious, solemn and expectedly nationalistic film about a deliberately hamstrung air force lagging in outmatched warplanes that are one vital generation behind foreign adversaries.
“This is China Air Force. Anyone who enters Chinese airspace will be resolutely shut down,” the PLA warns them in English to stay out of Chinese territory, presumably over the South China Sea. Thus, setting off this whole matter about the fate of the entire air force of China depending on a group of brash young guns.
