| From my opinion, Jian Guo Da Ye (abbr JGDY) is a fairly good film anyway. This time the government stands out and makes a movie, what you expect? Usually government doesn't invest money on commercial films; once it does, it should reflect the highest film making level of this country as least. John Woo made the movie in which five pigeons fly out, whilst Han made this one nearly 5,000 pigeons fly out with a gunshot, what a difference! The CGI of warfare in this film is pretty good, reminding me of Pearl Harbor when it comes to Kuomintang bombing Yan’an. We know that many world-famous stars are participating in this film. Jackie Chan, Jet Li, Ziyi Zhang... they are all soaked in their roles. |
在我看來，《建國大業》是一部相當不錯的電影。這一次是政府參與制作，那你會因此期待什么呢？通常，一國政府不會投資商業影片，一旦它這樣做了，那應該至少反映了該國電影制作的最高水準。香港導演吳宇森拍的片子中總有5只鴿子飛起，而韓三平導演的這部片子，一槍就把將近5000只鴿子驚飛，這就是差距啊！這部電影戰爭特技制作相當出色，片中國民黨轟炸延安的場景，讓人想起美國好萊塢大片《珍珠港》。我們知道，許多世界知名的明星參與了這部電影的演出，成龍、李連杰、章子怡……他們都沉浸于各自所扮演的角色。 |
| Historical and political thing is not always that bad... even US had its own -- I still own a completely collections of ABC's War & Remembrance series which panoramically goes from the start of WWII to the end with bunches of celebrities and Hollywood stars. Movies of course, shorten the story more than TV series. Actually JGDY just tells the story about 1945-1949's main political events that happened in China, and the story of two parties' leader -- Mao & Jiang. |
歷史和政治性的東西并非總是那么難看……即便在美國也有這樣的好影片。我至今保存著美國廣播公司1988年出品的《戰爭與回憶》連續劇的全套DVD，里面全景式展現了二戰開始到結束的場景，當中不乏名人和好萊塢明星。當然，電影要比電視劇更濃縮。實際上，《建國大業》只講述了1945～1949年發生于中國的主要政治事件，還有兩黨領袖(毛澤東和蔣介石)的故事。 |
| I think Han really did his best this time -- Kaige Chan successfully portraits warlord Feng Yuxiang, Jet Li as a hero and Andy Lau as an air force commander, Jackie Chan as a journalist… oh my what a crew... The most unforgettable role that I think is Jiang Wen as Mao Renfeng. The Shanghai gang bloodbath is the most decent scene in this film, full of Han's style. If you've watched some movies he made you will realize that. This is definitely not, as some unknown media says, a government's propaganda film. |
我想，韓三平這次盡了最大努力——陳凱歌成功地刻畫了軍閥馮玉祥的形象，李連杰演一名英雄，劉德華演空軍軍官，成龍演記者，陣容十分強大……我想最讓人難忘的角色是姜文演的毛人鳳。上海黑幫喋血是影片最好看的部分，充滿韓三平的風格。如果你看過他的一些電影，你會意識到這一點的。這顯然不是像一些媒體所說的是一部政府宣傳電影。 |
| To say JGDY is about the rise and victory of the Communist, is not as proper as to say, JGDY is about the falling and defeat of the Kuomintang. It has the historical reasons though, but a little bit more dramatic than the fact. Most people will not feel uneasy about it as Kuomintang and Communist are getting closer and closer after Kuomintang taking over Taiwan again in 2008. This is a good sign as people living both in the Chinese Mainland and Taiwan expect. |
《建國大業》與其說是講述共產黨的崛起和勝利，不如說是講述國民黨的衰落和失敗。這當中有歷史原因，但事實顯然不及電影來得富有戲劇性。2008年馬英九接掌臺灣后，國民黨和共產黨日益接近，我想大部分人對此都不會感到不安的。這是一個好跡象，生活在中國大陸和臺灣的人都希望這樣。 |

Anyway, 9 out of 10. If you like China history around 1940s, you will enjoy it.

好吧，按總分10分的話我給9分。如果你對中國上世紀40年代左右的歷史感興趣，那么這部電影不可錯過。
