Ivan's Childhood Comments

The little people in the Great Patriotic War have distinct personalities, perseverance and bravery, supplemented by the portrayal of the people on the front lines. Real scenes and illusions are blended, subjective shots with changing priorities and emotions, and empty shots narrated like Reaper of Souls and Yuyue Tale, ending with a surreal floating on water, ending in the joy of childhood compared to the miserable...

Silent birch forests, broad river banks, and the Soviet-German battlefield under Tarkovsky's long lens are quiet most of the time. Only the signal flares that cut through the sky from time to time declare that this is a battlefield, quiet and cruel. War can devour life, but it cannot take away the beauty of life, the beauty is in the dreamland woven by sound and picture montage, in the momentary joy of men and women in the woods, in the truck full of apples and the joy of harvest, in the...

Poetic film. "Even if it survived, the war killed those who made it," Sutter said. At the same time, there is a deeper meaning: in every movement, history needs (these) heroes, it creates them, and it destroys them by causing them to suffer in the society it shapes. This boy is neither good nor evil, he is an extreme product of history. He was thrown into this war involuntarily, and was born for...

The smooth movement of the mirror is unparalleled, the composition is impeccable, the spirit and psychology are discussed in two layers, and the form and the reality are perfectly matched. It would be great if Tarkovsky's creations were as realistic as this...

Forgive me for thinking that some of the plots don't really participate in the plot, even if there is a saying that it's going to be dramatic. And there are two male protagonists who can't tell who is who, maybe the version is not clear enough. The first dream is very beautiful, the representative of the Soviet Union's thawing period,...

Surrealist dreams fill the void of childhood under the shadow of war, Ivan's childhood is stuck in wartime, and Ivan's dream is in the past and future of peace. The underage body carries the war and hatred that transcends age. The love of adult men and women can only be fleeting on the battlefield, and the birch forest is a hazy symbol. Excellent black and white photography, poetic narrative expression. The four dreams are always wet and water-related, washing your face with a bucket, looking...

The wounds of war displayed by Laota are just like what Yan Lianke said in his speech of thanks recently: "In all great writing, fiction is the discovery of the unseen part of life." Nikolai Burlyayev, who played Ivan, later became a director. In recent years, he supported Russia's invasion of Ukraine and unabashedly advocated Great Slavism. This is a visible reality, which complements the stay in "Ivan's Childhood". the white...

From a certain point of view, this film can be regarded as the Soviet version of Zhang Ga. Of course, the values ​​conveyed by the two films are very different; the plot integrity is lost to the same period of "Yan Nanfei", which intercepts Ivan's life and war. Fragments, with a few psychological descriptions interspersed in between, are still colored in the war’s distortion and destruction of children who should have been innocent. The sound and picture montage and the last paragraph are...

The shadow of war and memory from the perspective of children, the debut work shows extraordinary scheduling and camera language, and Bi Gan's shots of apples and horses are taken from here. Raindrops, puddles, wells and beaches, water-related images are particularly fascinating in Tarkovsky's films, the boundary between reality and dream is hard to find, the photography of birch forest is too dreamy, and the poetic long shot established the main style of Soviet films , Most of the Soviet...
