    There are indeed many more films in the era of Soviet state-run factories than today’s Russian films, but it doesn’t seem to be able to draw the conclusion that state-run films are definitely powerful. It’s not so much the public and private bodies that decide the winners and losers, it’s better to say that the national nature decides the winners and losers. Others with the same mechanism Chinese films cannot produce such magnificent works, and even less turn the details into the handwriting of...

    The scene of the war, it is true, the two battles of Austerlitz and Borodino, we can't see the ins and outs, and we don't even know what...

    The grandiose production, which was only possible in the era of socialist state-owned studios, is magnificent. The two scenes in the novel that impressed me the most: 1. Andre heard the tranquility and saw the sky for the first time after the battle on the battlefield; 2. In the middle of the night, the despairing Andre heard the description of Natasha upstairs The beauty of the moonlit night, full of longing for life, inspired him to pay attention to the meaning of life. It's a pity that the...

    After reading several editions, it really is the Russians who can better shoot their own novels. The portrayal of characters is not inferior to the longer episodes, especially the performance of some abstract inner dramas, which are very thoughtful. The most praiseworthy thing about this version is, of course, the war scenes that do not take into account the human cost, and the beautiful scene framing. In particular, although the war scene is not so beautiful, it is not like the war in most...

    Casting, scenes and faithfulness to the original, the former Soviet Union spent (allegedly) $560 million to create such a vast, thick, unrepeatable scroll of footage, shot through the legs of a galloping horse, rising into the air, overlooking the smoke of the artillery shells Like white flowers blooming all over the field, it is like a heavy battle, and those noble children who were dressed in brocade at the dance, after the baptism of war and parting from life and death, injected new strength...

    I have to sigh that a country like the Soviet Union, which is even more revolutionary than China 50 years ago, is only closed to the outside world in terms of personal freedom and foreign policy, but in terms of its own profound culture, it has not destroyed it at all, but has done nothing to gain the whole country. The power to promote culture, a country is not afraid of poverty, nor is it afraid of diplomatic isolation, but it is afraid that its culture will be destroyed. I hope China can...

    I really don't understand this film well. I slept four times in more than seven hours... The picture is really beautiful, the war and dance scenes are very atmospheric, but the empty scene of a lot of stream of consciousness makes me a little crazy, I am most impressed The shot is Andre's dead tree. Character dialogue is minimal, and storytelling with lots of narration and voiceover is my least favorite type of movie. The editing of many scene transitions is messy and blunt, and the soundtrack...

    In the context of such a war story, we participate in the war from multiple perspectives to obtain people's true meaning of life and hope through war. Several large wide-angle lenses show that the war is not only the destruction of mankind, but also the world itself. Inflicting serious damage and being infinitely close to death, can you realize the true meaning of life. Different perspectives have different understandings of war. Those who participated in the war on the front line and those who...

    CC2K restoration is really great, 422 minutes of Toon re-experience, life, humanity, destiny, war, forgiveness, humanity, happiness... Back to the land surrounded by war, staring at the solemn sky, falling down into the silence of nothingness. Being in a beautiful dance reflects a helpless life, falling into the whirlpool of the floating world. Some clips are shot in a natural style to capture the poetic life of the breeze blowing the earth, and it feels like the Soviet/Russian directors have a...

    The best foreign language film at the 1969 Oscar, the magnificent war scenes and the delicate and moving psychological description blend in perfect harmony. It can be called a perfect film adaptation of a famous book. The actor's image, temperament and acting skills are excellent, and the soundtrack and the dance costumes are all restored. The film uses a large number of monologues and voice-overs to express philosophy, photography and editing are combined with reality and reality, with...
