    #新看#SIFF@Studio; the intention to make good use of water is obvious, the well water, rainwater, seawater, and the image of a gentle mother form a wonderful dream segment; using dreams as memories, showing the passage of time with changes in space, edited very consciously Flow; the cruelty of going straight from childhood to adulthood; subtitle translation is terrible, night scenes are basically unclear, and the scene is...

    Constructing a touch of poetry in the rubble of realism, fragments of life and miniatures of war are intertwined in a very vague narrative context. This fragmented pondering and thinking has become the main body of the film to a certain extent. The audience cannot see the face of the enemy in the dark, leaving only the remains of killing and unreliable dreams. In this context, the anti-war footnote also shifts from indictment to...

    4.7 The poetic quality is still there, which is much more immature than the later work "Mirror". But from this beginning, Tarkovsky's style of realism standing on the shoulders of freehand and lyrical was basically established. The use of gray in the image, the dream and the reality live and die. Semi-narrative, almost abandoning the narrative system. The chirping of cicadas, birdsong and war-torn children, these ignored sounds maximize the ruthlessness of war. There is empathy, but it is rare,...

    Just like Picasso before Cubism, Lao Tower's first official step included all his creative features in a style different from the future. The first time I watched it was in 2001, not long after I graduated from elementary school. I have deep sympathy and sympathy for Ivan, who is the same age as me - even if his age, his situation, and his fate are completely different from mine. At the time I didn't know anything about Tarkovsky and poetic realism at all, and just saw it as a good TV show....

    Dream after dream, war, what a person experiences in childhood can often affect his life. The delicate relationship between Ivan and the colonel, the lieutenant and others, this stubborn teenager lost his mother and sister, and was ruthlessly pushed into the smoke of war. The older man was trying his best to protect his young heart, but Ivan was still dead. A good life is always out of...

    A love letter to the Soviet Army and the new Soviet Union. The story structure echoes the beginning and the end. At the beginning, the tone was warmer, and he ran between the grassland and the world to enjoy his mother's breastfeeding. After the war, the color tone was more dusty, and the heaven and earth suddenly changed to the ruins of the house, which also showed his inner trauma and stray life experience. Later, with the perspective of Ivan as the center, it depicts the feelings of the...

    Before Laota did not form his own poetic feeling in the early days, it was not much different from the ordinary poetic films of the Soviet Union. The film shows a lot of his novel design, but the entire visual element arrangement is not much different from the Soviet war film of the first thaw. Re-view evaluation is basically unchanged. My favorite self-inflicted work of that cinematic movement turned out to be the Soldier's Song (if it had a better start). In fact, the pathetic sound design at...
