| 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. |
在我看来，《建国大业》是一部相当不错的电影。这一次是政府参与制作，那你会因此期待什么呢？通常，一国政府不会投资商业影片，一旦它这样做了，那应该至少反映了该国电影制作的最高水准。香港导演吴宇森拍的片子中总有5只鸽子飞起，而韩三平导演的这部片子，一枪就把将近5000只鸽子惊飞，这就是差距啊！这部电影战争特技制作相当出色，片中国民党轰炸延安的场景，让人想起美国好莱坞大片《珍珠港》。我们知道，许多世界知名的明星参与了这部电影的演出，成龙、李连杰、章子怡……他们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. |
历史和政治性的东西并非总是那么难看……即便在美国也有这样的好影片。我至今保存着美国广播公司1988年出品的《战争与回忆》连续剧的全套DVD，里面全景式展现了二战开始到结束的场景，当中不乏名人和好莱坞明星。当然，电影要比电视剧更浓缩。实际上，《建国大业》只讲述了1945～1949年发生于中国的主要政治事件，还有两党领袖(毛泽东和蒋介石)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，韩三平这次尽了最大努力——陈凯歌成功地刻画了军阀冯玉祥的形象，李连杰演一名英雄，刘德华演空军军官，成龙演记者，阵容十分强大……我想最让人难忘的角色是姜文演的毛人凤。上海黑帮喋血是影片最好看的部分，充满韩三平的风格。如果你看过他的一些电影，你会意识到这一点的。这显然不是像一些媒体所说的是一部政府宣传电影。 |
| 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. |
《建国大业》与其说是讲述共产党的崛起和胜利，不如说是讲述国民党的衰落和失败。这当中有历史原因，但事实显然不及电影来得富有戏剧性。2008年马英九接掌台湾后，国民党和共产党日益接近，我想大部分人对此都不会感到不安的。这是一个好迹象，生活在中国大陆和台湾的人都希望这样。 |

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

好吧，按总分10分的话我给9分。如果你对中国上世纪40年代左右的历史感兴趣，那么这部电影不可错过。
