      War, it's better to stay away from us.

      This is a qualified anti-war film. It is much smarter than "Blood and Lonely City". Oh, some students said that "Blood and Lonely City" is not an anti-war film. Now that the harmonious and prosperous world is not anti-war, do you still advocate war?

      This movie brings a strong sense of fear, the kind of sudden war; the suffering of no water and food; the despair of failing to break through without reinforcements; the helplessness of seeing family members and comrades die; , war, it's...

      13 Criticisms for "Fortress: The Battle of the City"

      1. This film tells us that the real soldier Zhang Ga is not just blowing up a small gun tower.

      2. This film can be said to fully show the historical archives, the details are huge, and it is necessary to constantly use Baidu Encyclopedia to make up for the history. This film is similar to a historical documentary. In order to understand the background and facilitate viewing, please use keywords such as Brest to encyclopedia.

      3. This film has nothing to do with the...

      not in memory

      I decided to read Brest Fortress because of a book. Twenty years ago, when I was a high school student, I stole my father's reading card and went to the provincial library to borrow books during the summer vacation. The "Unlisted" of the Battle of Brest Fortress is a very impressive one, so I still remember it now. I thought this movie viewing would be a revisit of my memory, but the plot of the movie had nothing to do with the novels I had read, which made me feel very lost 20 minutes into the...

      see "Battle of Moscow"

      The first time I paid attention to the Brest Fortress was in the film "Battle of Moscow" that year, and its recording angle was almost the same as this film.
      I remember the clearest shot of a German tank emerging from the Bouguer River, which was originally an underwater tank developed by Germany to attack Britain.
      And German troops disguised as Soviet troops. The most classic scene is that the soldier ordered the women and children to surrender, and the tragic music was accompanied...

      Remember the heroes

      Although it is a humiliating thing to surrender, if it is to surrender to the German army during World War II, it is better to commit suicide.
      In Hitler's eyes, except for the Aryan nation, everything else is inferior.
      This is a historical fact, and it has also been played out in many movies.
      Of course, the Red Army at that time may not have known, or may have known, what it meant for the wife and daughter to go out like this and surrender to the enemy.
      However, in that...

      This film was blown up by military enthusiasts, and the role of children in war was rendered too important. Originally, I liked watching World War II films made in Europe. Well, this one is nothing more than...

    The film reproduces the entire process of the defense of the Brest Fortress. The perspective and content are quite rich. In addition to the whole play from the perspective of the child protagonist Akimov, it also simultaneously uses the perspective of three Red Army commanders. They respectively described the battles at the three strongholds in the fortress. Not only were they defended by danger and shot against the enemy, but also had...
