As long as it's a Soviet war movie, as long as it's aimed at little people instead of Gao Daquan, you won't be disappointed. This kind of reflective power and depth may really have something to do with nationality. The cruelty of war was fully demonstrated in the two of them, one was physical, the other was spiritual, and they both fell into a tragic ending. In fact, they were involved in the whirlpool of history in that era. Whatever choice you choose, it will end in a tragic...

The Soviet Patriotic War version of "The Story Jesus and Judas Had to Tell"? Overall, it's a war psychology film, and various facial highlight close-ups are extremely challenging for the actors. Although the peasant eventually became a "Russian traitor" and was judged by his conscience, in an unsurprising way, perhaps he and the officer should have been lifelong friends through adversity. When escaping in the snow, the officer leaned against the tree trunk and said that his hair was stuck, and...

You think it's a war movie, but it's actually a religious movie spiraling upwards with Christian sacrifice, betrayal and redemption and Bolshevism party purity and...

There are not many crowd scenes in this film, but there is one scene that is very touching: Sotnikov and others were escorted to the pseudo-police compound on the way, when the sleigh they were riding passed the crowd, and passed through Sotnikov's Eyes, the audience saw: the child at play turned his head away; the young woman with the bucket in her hand stood stunned on the steps; the sad old man watched the sled go away in the yard of his...

Nearly two decades ago, in the now-defunct bookstore, there was a book documenting the winning films of past film festivals. I was reluctant to spend money on books, so I copied some movies on my notebook. This one has been delayed until...

[221] Shepichenko still did not rely on the camera to create his creations. Instead, he explored his own propositions—“interpersonal conflict” and “mental crisis” through the expressiveness of the actors. On the other hand, "Ascension" is sublimated to the level of history and uses propositions to make different interpretations of...

The only thing that makes people wonder about movies made in the Soviet Union is that the Russians made such a big sacrifice. What are they defending, a Gulag country? I have now changed my original public...

In the 1977 Golden Bear Award, the director interrogated human nature under war with the help of real environment and interpersonal conflicts, and the shot has a strong appeal. Putting people in the real environment of the limit of life and death shows that human nature is unpredictable. In fact, the cruel part of this film is that even if we despise the betrayer, we can still forgive his betrayal deep down. This forgiveness seems to leave room for our own unpredictable human nature, just like...

Sartre: "Man was not created by God, and there is no a priori distinction between good and evil. Everyone can only surpass himself and define himself according to his constant choice. Everyone is in a dynamic behavior choice, so every The existence of a living person is only a possibility of realizing the essence, that is, he cannot exist in a conclusive sense, but only in a possibility sense."...
