Answer:
This movie was made in 2011 in China Hong Kong. The director of this movie was Jackie Chan and Zhang Li. This movie was released on 23 September 2011. This movie is all about the China Republic that is rise from the tyranny of the Qing dynasty into the modern era.
This movie was one of the most anticipated movies of the year 2011. It is also a patriotic movie but it does not gain many positive reviews. As this movie is lacking some of the important elements and it is not because of nothing going on this movie but the thing is that it seems that too much is going on in this movie. The 1911 revolution covers 4 revolutions that happened near around 1911. It seems that the director of the movie put all the four separate stories together in a way to make one single action movie. So it created the overload action in the movie which makes difficult to distinguish high point in thethe 1911 revolution movie. It seems that the whole movie is like a historical documentation. It didn't appear like the commercial movie. This movie is the accolade to the 100th anniversary of the Xinhai Revolution. It was the 100th movie in the career of Jackie Chan’s. This movie is also the successful movie. This movie was released on the 100th anniversary of the Xinhai Revolution or we can say that the 1911 Revolution. This movie that the 1911 revolution movie made great success at the box office.
The main role of revolutionist was played by the Huang Xing. In this movie, he was spearheading the anti-imperialist movement in China.
The main reason to make this movie was Zhang Li the directors want to show that how China obtained Republic after the nationalist force led by SUN Yat-Sen overthrew the Qing Dynasty. This movie also reflected politically complex situation prevailing in the country (Zheng et al., 2018) . This movie is also known as the Xinhai Revolution.
Thesis- whether this 1911 revolution movie is a patriotic movie.
The 1911 Revolution movie is specially made for the centenary of the Xinhai Revolution. This movie is somewhat like the unfolding of the large-scale scroll painting, this movie shows the shot which is entirely happened in the same location. The retelling of the story of 1911 revolution is a way of using art to revisit those revolutionary heroes, their patriotism and willingness to risk their lives.
This movie showed the great revolution that is Xinhai Revolution of the people in the modern history of China. As mentioned it the movie it shows the ending of feudal rule by the Qing dynasty and opening the new gate and chapter of Chinese history and the obtaining the Republic. This movie was made in a way to show the respect to all the collective memory of the nation. A true fight and scene have been demonstrated in this movie mainly to make the public and viewer aware of the struggle made to get free from the Qing Dynasty rule. In this movie the actor play a very well role in a way to make the viewer understand the actual happening at the time of the Qing Dynasty.
The movie 1911 revolution not only depicted and find resonance with bombastic moments of martyrdom that mainly determine the fate of the nation, but this movie also depicted and uncovers the physical violence and physical sacrifice as society was transformed. In addition, this movie that is 1911 Revolution also contains the elements of romance, love, dream, and faith in a way to find empathy.
In this movie, it was shown that how Xinhai Revolution brought freedom from the Qing Dynasty rule (Zheng et al., 2018) . As this Qing Dynasty ruled China for 267 years. In this movie the fight against the dynasty that is Qing dynasty was demonstrated in a realistic manner and how the dynasty rule was overthrown.
Director Zhang Li is very well known for his best effort and recorded as making the patriotic movie and historical movie in China. So in the same way in this movie also the Director Zhang Li, pointed out and telecasted the truly critical figures, including Yuan Shikai, general of the Qing armed force and the main leader of the Republic of China, in a unique way or manner.
Another the notable character is Li Yuan Hong who was guarded by the revolutionist to led them in the Wuchang Unrest against Qing regime authorities. Performer Jiang Wu gave a phenomenal execution in the little part of the role, particularly in the scene where Li is struggling with his clashing loyalties to the revolutionists and the administration (Cheung et al., 2016) .
So at the end of this assignment that is review of the movie after analyzing the review of various audiences and through self-analysis what the maximum number of viewer and audience feel about the movie the 1911 revolution is they feel that this movie is also successful but in this movie the true patriotic theme cannot be observed as in this movie only fighting within the self-country say China has been demonstrated and how China got revolution and freedom from the Qing Dynasty has been pictured and portrayed . Which is not the actual patriotic theme according to the various viewer. The movie 1911 revolution when compared with the other relevant and successful movie or film in regards of patriotism then this movie didn’t get much appreciation in this regards that is patriotism and this is due to or because of this movie lack or miss the quality to attract the wider number of audience In this movie mainly four revolution has been portrayed which happened in the history of China which make the movie a wider concept. The director of the movie shows the numerous facts in this movie so it appears as it was going to the wider level. As it covers the wider aspect of the revolution that happened in the era of 1911. So from the viewpoint of the audiences and general viewer, the movie looks like that the director put four stories related to history and made, proposed one single story and action. In meanness of the fact that is the movie is propelled by the real scenario of the revolution, a component of gushes has been pervaded to make extra interest in the movie. This movie depicts the story of the rebellion that led to many battles for the communist takeover of China in the year 1949. This movie is the remarkable one as this movie marks the anniversary picture of the Jackie Chan. Anniversary of the Chan was used in a way to promote the movie.
Conclusion
At the end, after reviewing the movie and analyzing the theme of the movie it can be said that this movie was very successful on box office but it fails in depicting the true patriotic theme in the movie and the reason was that the viewer argue that the concept of the movie is very wide and complex. In spite having true incident and facts and date in the movie which recall the history of China revolution although this movie lack the element of true patriotism. It was also found from the review that this movie that is 1911 revolution was not as similar to other patriotic movie in the china. Although this movie was also the great hit. But in regards to patriotism, it was not able to get enough support from the audience and viewer side.
