      Why i think it's funny when i watch it

      Why do I find it funny when I watch it, this group of people who are spinning around in a daze.
      People who can still smile in this kind of miserable life are so cute.

      Faced with a little bit of fresh air or sunshine, a person who blooms with a cute smile.

      I know that I shouldn't laugh like this in the face of this kind of war film, but it is really hard to imagine the courage and calmness of this team. Unlike other refugees, living in a crash. The only musician who went...

      is the earth's most intense joy and grief
      of war just about beliefs and ideals

      Poor cannon fodder

      Originally, the Soviet Union was so close to Warsaw, and perhaps within a few days, Warsaw could be liberated (let's use the term "liberation" for the time being). But because of this, the British and American allies were unhappy. They wanted to grab this advantage. They wanted a pro-British and American Poland. So the underground militants hidden under Hitler’s nose were ordered by the allied government in exile and began an uprising. So there was the famous "Warsaw Uprising".
         But what...

      "The Sewer": Vajda's coldness and warmth

      Vajda’s coldness and warmth are recorded

                                                                              in the “National Humanities History” in July 2014.

      The historical background of Andrzej Vajda’s second film “The Sewers” ​​was the Polish uprising that occurred in 1944. As part of the Second World War, the uprising supported and launched by the Polish government-in-exile was not simply an armed resistance against Nazi Germany. It had another political purpose,...

      Think of what to say

      Wajda said that this was a real thing, and it was put on the screen. What actually happened is not necessarily a good movie if it is made into a movie. These plots are indeed shocking. But it doesn’t have to be a good work of art. It is accompanied by the sensational effect of real materials, but it is not told in a meaningful way. It and Nanuk's authenticity are at two extremes. This movie did a lot of things, arranged the sequence of events, decorated plots around real events, and reserved...

      This huge sense of moral restraint from the heart makes you unable to breathe, just like watching another Laowa's work "Katyn Forest" back then. In such a situation where it is very easy to inject morally false capital, Wajda said soberly: "In the sewers, there is no victory, only shame and...

      Realistic style under the influence of neo-realism; the Soviet-influenced group drama without a protagonist, only a representative of various classes and desires; after the sewers, the soldiers are divided into three groups, each fighting monsters and scaring themselves The scenes are reminiscent of Hollywood's Adventure film, the enemy is a Nazi, and the other is a mutant...

    In 1944, the last week of the Warsaw Uprising. The Polish "National Army" garrisoned a dilapidated building under the leadership of Lieutenant Chadra. The city of Warsaw was cut off by the German army, and the composer Mikau, who had been separated from his family, had to take shelter in this 30-member team. The military disparity made the soldiers discouraged, and Mikau’s piano sounded strangely above the ruins.
    The small German...

    A piece of "Kanał" made the Warsaw Uprising that broke out in Poland before the end of World War II, in Andrzej Wajda's extremely expressionistic narrative, turned into a futility without seeing the sky   . (Comment by "Beijing News")
    Andrzej Wajda used "Kanał" to express a magnificent theme, which is the reflection on war and revolution. The film is different from the traditional hero story, it is just a survival story. The style is...
