刘伯承市长

About This Movie

刘伯承市长 is a fascinating look at a pivotal moment in Nanjing's history. It captures Liu Bocheng’s brief tenure as mayor in 1949, a time when the city was undergoing immense change. The documentary-drama blend is intriguing, with a tone that feels both urgent and reflective. You get this real sense of Liu's dedication towards urban development, and his genuine connections with the citizens really stand out. The pacing can be a bit uneven at times, but it adds to the feeling of uncertainty during those post-war years. The performances, while perhaps not traditionally polished, convey a raw humanity that makes the history come alive. It’s distinctive for its focus on local impact rather than larger political narratives, making it a compelling watch for history enthusiasts.
