"Come and See" is an excellent poetic film. The poetic and film techniques it uses have reached the point of perfection-simple, concise, and profound. The film is full of metaphorical symbols with profound meanings, but it is concise and clear rather than obscure; the film uses strong rhythm control and emotional photographic art techniques always tightly centered on the central task of shaping the characters and revealing the theme. The love passage between Friola and Graça is not realistic but surreal. It is symbolic and full of youthful romance. It symbolizes: war can never stop everything from resurrecting, love cannot stop love, and hope cannot be extinguished. The scene of Friola becoming an "old man" is also surreal: it symbolizes the brutal atrocities of German fascists hurting children. The children are already aging before they are old, and the war ruthlessly distorted the face of an immature child into wrinkles. Densely covered with an old man's face, this changed face expresses the mind of a child who has been ravaged by war. At the end of the film, Friola shot at the portrait of Adolf Hitler . The shots were very imaginative, and the thoughts expressed were also very clear: I hope that time can go back, that the destroyed will be resurrected, and that people (including Germans, even " The Führer himself) are as innocent and kind as children. The sound of the film is also unique: there is very little dialogue, and after Friola lost his hearing by the German artillery fire, the film has always used a tinnitus buzzing sound effect to express the words and words he heard. The sound (until the end of the film, his ears did not return to normal)-this peculiar sound effect gives people a horrible and abnormal feeling-war is such a horror and abnormality.
The director is the chairman of the Directors Guild of the former Soviet Union. In this film, he uses the perspective of a child to examine the horror and cruelty of war. The film was shot in the open era of the Soviet Union. There is a more relaxed creative environment. The director presents a horrible scene of gunfire and blood and tears on the ground. It also portrays the craziness that war brings on the verge of human nature in a realistic and cruel way, which is reminiscent of Apocalypse Similar situation in Now . There are many fantasy shots in the film, which are very expressive.
This is a very special war theme movie. It truly describes the tragic encounters and scenes of the people in the German-occupied area, as well as the fear of people facing sudden disasters, and reflects the true face of war. It is not only different from the frontal battlefields of "Defense of Stalingrad" and "Capture of Berlin", which are full of flesh and blood, overwhelming, and devastating . It's not even a battlefield romance, but the bloody cruelty that descended on the common people.
The New York Times commented that it was "the highest achievement of Soviet cinema", "a powerful material for powerful finishing. the stunt of filmmaking", "fascinating and creepy". There is no second Soviet Russian film that can Have such a big influence in the United States. This is also the only Russian film broadcast on CCTV in the 1990s.
