"Белый Тигр" is set in World War II and tells the story of a Union of Soviet Socialist Republics tank soldier determined to destroy the German "White Tiger" tank. The Белый Тигр in the film is actually a modified IS ( IS or JS ), which can be seen from the chassis. According to the poster, it should be imitating the mid-type Tiger, but because of the IS (IS or JS) turret It is in the front, so it is mistaken for Tiger P by many people. Shortlisted for the 2012 Shanghai International Film Festival Golden Goblet Award. Film director Karen Shakhnazarov 's work has been shortlisted for the Golden Palm Award in Cannes , won several awards at the Karlovy Vary Film Festival, and also served as an international jury for the first Shanghai International Film Festival Golden Goblet Award.
In the Russian film "Белый Тигр
", the transition from a brutal battlefield to a post-war Europe may be a bit sudden, and the final whereabouts of Белый Тигр have not been explained. Many people may look a little overwhelmed.
Let me start by saying that this movie is neither a war movie nor a science fiction movie. To be precise, this is a political movie.
Figuring out what a few things in the movie or what some plots symbolize helps us understand the movie better.
Continue to fight after being seriously wounded several times and miraculously healed. I don't know who I am, I don't know where I came from. There is only one belief in mind: to destroy Белый Тигр. It can be understood that the symbol of this Russian tanker is the Russias national . It has been hit hard by invaders several times in history, but it has always been able to fight tenaciously to the end. Not knowing who he is and where he comes from is the fact that Russia national originated in Europe, and the Orthodox Church, a branch of Christianity, has never been accepted by the West. It neither belongs to the East nor is it recognized by the West. This is the undead Russian tanker Nadianov, a symbol of Russias national.
Белый Тигр is the opponent of the tanker and, in Nadianov's words, "must be eliminated". Белый Тигр is not a mortal weapon, even in terms of its performance in the movie, its capabilities have exceeded the scope of a heavy tank . German prisoners were also full of fear when they spoke of Белый Тигр. There are two German prisoners in the movie. The former is a second lieutenant of the Waffen SS from the collar pin, and the latter is a member of the Wehrmacht armored division. In fact, the lines of these two people are very interesting. The second lieutenant of the SS confessed that the Germans knew the existence of Белый Тигр, but they did not know who was manipulating it and had no relevant information, and it was clear that it could not be the direct responsibility of Adolf Hitler . plan of. In the end he concluded that Белый Тигр represented the invincible German spirit. The Wehrmacht captives further affirmed the existence of Белый Тигр, without knowing the details, and said that the Germans were also terrified of this monster. And Nadianov also relied on his own unique ability or intuition to think that there is no one in Белый Тигр, it is a ghost or it is an unknown force. This power appeared unnoticed, devoured human lives, and scared soldiers on both sides of the war. Some people think that Белый Тигр represents Nazi extremism or war, and I think both of them are actually reluctant. In fact, the question is not here, the question is what force is manipulating the terrifying Белый Тигр? We'll talk about this later.
If you have some knowledge of history, you can understand that The Vistula is the gateway to Western Europe. In early 1945, the Soviet army conquered Berlin after crushing the German resistance at the Battle of Vistula- Oder River . After breaking through The Vistula line, the outcome of the war has never been clearer, the invaders have been completely defeated. The disappearance of Белый Тигр means this. In fact, after the second Natyanov chased and wounded Белый Тигр, the end of the war was doomed: the invaders failed, and the power behind the scenes temporarily disappeared from people's sight. During this period, there was an episode where Nadianov's crew destroyed a No. 4 tank before injuring Белый Тигр . It is certain that the No. 4 tank is a kind of Белый Тигр - it was not operated by German armored forces. Rather than saying that Белый Тигр symbolizes Nazi ideas or Germany, it is more appropriate to say that this wrecked number four. As described in the plot: this No. 4 tank is the cannon fodder and thug of Белый Тигр. Just as the German Nazis were a cannon fodder and a thug who was pushed to the foreground.
It may be obscure to some people, but this dialogue is actually to help the audience understand the film. First Adolf Hitler praised his nation and said that many people just keep my opinion of you in their hearts. Who are the "many people"? Who are "you"? I think a lot of people are referring to ordinary people in the world or that Adolf Hitler is referring to people in the western world. And "you" of course includes Adolf Hitler's only audience in this episode - the mysterious character. Note that this is a group of people, or they are the promoters of the Western world order. That is, today's international interest groups advocating the values of freedom and democracy in the Western world. These forces are pervasive, and they control and manipulate public opinion to play with public opinion. Of course, the people are aware of their existence, but they cannot get rid of them, because they are the forces that control the means of production and the lifeline of the country's economy, so people can only "hide their views in their hearts". And Adolf Hitler is a spokesman for such a force, he became their pawn to stretch their tentacles to the east, but ended in failure in the end. The failure of Adolf Hitler also made this force realize that the peoples of the East would resist and threaten their interests. They want to lead war and turmoil and other destabilizing factors to the eastern world, and Белый Тигр is their puppet!
This also explains why the tanker Sharipov knows that Белый Тигр has been hidden for 20, 50 or even 100 years, and must destroy it. Perhaps reading " Currency War " or Marx's " Das Kapital " combined with the international environment that Russia has developed over the past 20 years, the audience will easily understand the moral of the film. It hints at who is manipulating the values and public opinion of the Western world, praises the indomitable fighting spirit of the Russians national, and reveals the essence of the so-called cultural conflict between the East and the West: it is nothing but the struggle of the interest groups behind it.
As for the film's props and plot arrangements, there is no need to go into details. Most people can see that the Белый Тигр is an IS or JS modified No. 4 tank. The chassis is modified from T44/54/55. If you can play, there is no need to go into these.
The design concept of the Panzerkampfwagen VI Ausf. E Tiger I is different from that of most of the early tanks. The previous design emphasized the balance of mobility, protection and firepower. Although the firepower and protection of early German tanks were often inferior to other opponents, tactical advantages offset these disadvantages. The design of the Tiger I tank presents a different design philosophy, emphasizing firepower and armor at the moderate sacrifice of maneuverability. But in fact, the mobility of Tiger I just hasn't improved, and it is the same as the previous No. Ⅲ and No. Ⅳ (the Tiger type adopts a larger and more advanced engine and transmission system), that is, it still has the mobility of the German Medium tank , Although not as good as Medium tanks such as the M4 and T-34 Medium Tank, the Tiger was the most mobile heavy tank in World War II. Its speed can reach 38km/h.
The tank produced 489 units from January to March 1945 and was mainly used on the Eastern Front against the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. It traded for thick armor at the expense of part of its mobility. It was a veritable heavy tank, which brought a lot of losses to the Soviet Army on the Eastern Front. However, the shortcomings of the over-built German tanks made the Soviet T-34 Medium Tank and T-34 Medium Tank-85 tanks have an advantage on the battlefield compared to the inferior but huge numbers of tanks.
