      After watching "War and Peace"

      "Either kill or be killed! War is dirty, it's not polite, it's not a joke, treat him really. The important thing is, throw away hypocrisy, war is war, not child's play..."
      ——Andre [Su] "War and Peace, Part III"
      "Let all the good people walk together hand in hand, let them raise the banner of truth, goodness and beauty, and jointly seek happiness for this world. Those thoughts that have had a great impact are often extremely simple. All...

      Original reading manual

      For me the movie and the original are the manual for each other. Only after watching this movie can I get the concept of many grand scenes in the original book, as well as the rich feelings of characters that I didn't understand when I read the book; and only after reading the original book can I understand the greatness of this movie: unparalleled shots, feelings for the characters in the book The vivid description of the book, the expression of the book's ideas in simple language,...

      Ugh

      The reason why I hate this version of Natasha is that not only all her main character development is due to attachment to men, but also the "vivid, lively, eccentric" girl image is completely imagined by the mature male perspective under the patriarchy. For the first time, the kiss of the cloud and rain, the night chat with my sister's boudoir, the dance just to attract the attention of men at the banquet, all the coy, vexatious, waiting and waiting, there is hardly a single...

      Must see the original

      This war and peace filmed by the Soviet Union can be regarded as an outstanding example of doing one thing with the power of the whole country. Such a movie, such a magnificent scene scheduling, music production, light and shadow art, we will not be able to do it for decades. , then the question arises. They are also boasting about the demeanor of a great country. Then there are some opinions about this film adapted from Leo Tolstoy's original work: 1 Russian literature has...

      what is war

      What is war?

      Andre hates the social and pleasures of the nobles, and he wants to kill the enemy on the battlefield to make achievements and gain honor. So, when he was finally on the front line, when the army had no way to retreat, he resolutely waved the flag and led the soldiers to fight to the death. . When Prince Andrew set foot on the battlefield for the second time, he and two battalions stood on standby as a reserve, and he paced quietly and...

      In front of this masterpiece, any praise seems pale. Best movie of the year. It is also a socialist country, and the aesthetic gap is...

      2021 #RussianFilmMastersExhibition# Hangzhou Baimeihui Cinema is in the late stage of thawing and innovation, which is the same period as the 2017 film. When we look at fighting peoples, are we also looking at what they do to their bodies. The 4 fears of death (balcony, duel, rest, shooting.) are evident in the film, beyond that, human biology/life becomes the real life/biopolitics. This may also be the reason why the war scenes are cruel and not terrifying. And the movie uses a lot of soul line

      What kind of movie is this? Call it epic? Say it's a classic? It feels like there are no words to describe it. It is not perfect, but it is the most "beautiful". Bondarchuk verified what Leo Tolstoy said: "There are no great people, only great works." This sentence. Finally, to sum up: Let kind people walk hand in hand together! Let them raise the banner of truth, goodness and beauty and jointly seek happiness for this world! Thoughts that have a huge impact are often extremely simple, and my...

      Only with such a large screen can you appreciate the operation of cutting the screen across the board. Frequent inner monologues make an epic less epic...a little more intimacy. A lot of places didn't scratch the itch. For the first time, I was able to enjoy a hunting scene! Battlefield sweeping/aerial photography is impressive. The three brothers and sisters were talking at night in the corner, and the lights were getting brighter, thinking of Fanny and Alexander. Natasha trapezius is...

      Adaptation requires courage, but it is actually quite thankless. Even with the addition of voiceovers, the display of the characters' spiritual activities is greatly reduced. However, Bondarchuk also gave full play to the advantages of film art, special effects photography, associative montage, a variety of original composition and photography techniques emerged one after another. The episode focuses on Natasha and Pierre, echoing the titles "War" and...

      Sonia Rostova: That's metempsychosis.

    • Prince Andrei Bolkonsky: Yes, I told you that one should forgive a fallen woman.But I never said I would be able to.I can't forgive.

    • Platon Karataev: Well, though it's the worm that gnaws the cabbage, it's first to die.

      Pierre Bezukhov: What was that you said?

      Platon Karataev: I say it's not by our wit, but as God thinks fit.
