The sorrow of a small country

The second Latvian war movie I've seen after "1944". It still starts with the fate of the little people, and through the ups and downs of personal fate, the side shows the cruelty and ruthlessness of the war. This seems to be the consistent style of Latvia, a small country sandwiched between several major powers, showing the mainstream ideology.

The protagonist Arthur grew up from an ignorant teenager, after his mother was killed by...

Alternative openings and alternate endings

Another alternative opening on the Soul Blizzard Blu-ray Disc is Arthur's everyday life in a small town commuting to and from school, which is very comfortable. He met two soldiers on the way, and he and his classmates took them home.

The film is about 5 minutes long, which also explains why the Germans chased after his house, and two soldiers came out after they left.

The other ending is not an open ending like the original film, but...

war, war. There is no bloodless independence and freedom in the world - "Soul Blizzard"

This movie didn't look very good at first, and it didn't even look like a war, but as the plot progressed, it didn't feel right to watch it, the body became colder and the mind became more and more tense. War has never been polite and unreasonable. "What does it have to do with me killing you?" If both sides of the war were reasonable,...

Soul Blizzard

There are many movies about the First World War, but Soul Blizzard is the first time to interpret this war from the perspective of a small country Latvia , in its own homeland, after the Germans, and then the Russians. This is the most popular film in Latvia since independence in 1991.

When Germany invaded the Russian Empire in 1915, Artus witnessed his mother and his family dog ​​being killed by the Germans in the...

The history of blood and tears in Latvia, that's all?

After reading a lot of public accounts, I have a wave of hard blows. After reading it, I feel that I am deceived. I think that aside from the big words such as photography, the history of blood and tears of the nation, as an ordinary movie watcher, I will not understand it. Under the premise of Latvian history, watching this movie is boring. Even if there are concepts of geography, country, and history, this movie is no different from keeping a running account. The story line is there, but...

The realistic war film supported by the whole country in Latvia is also friendly to the audience who do not know the history and surrounding background of Latvia. I especially like a few foggy battlefield scenes where I can't see my...

After searching for a long time, I recalled all the war movies and TV dramas I had watched. From the Spring and Autumn Period to the Three Kingdoms to the Warring States Period, from Wenquan Pass to the Peloponnese, from World War I and World War II to the Korean War and Vietnam War, from the Gulf to Counter-Terrorism, from the NATO Warsaw Pact to the Yugoslavia, it seems, probably, maybe the pride of the Chinese language is just a handful. Numbers, a "My Head, My Regiment", a "Wreath Under the...

7 points. History of the First World War in Latvia. The protagonist's halo is too strong, and he was shot four times without dying. The little boy finally became a fighting hero, which reminds me of Hua Yingxiong, the "Shen Sha Lone Star". The war scene is still very cruel. The relatives and friends around the male protagonist died one by one. Fortunately, he lived to the end, and the girl he loved also lived to the end. This is one of the few beautiful things in the movie. What is even more...

A majestic Latvian World War I film, the protagonist begins as a young recruit who initially fights for the Tsar in a Latvian infantry battalion, then joins Lenin's Bolshevik Red Army, is crushed into a counter-revolution and joins Latvia's own militia to fight for independence, and eventually Evolved into a battlefield veteran, the war scene is still very good. In addition, the bayonet in the first battle is really too...

The photography is very good, and the story is also very good, the helplessness of the little people in the big environment, go with the flow, combined with the 1944 unsung heroes that I watched later, only fighting for myself, maybe it is...
