This is not a suspense film

Stalin died on March 5, 1953. Before his death, the Soviet Union was under the control of an extremely centralized leader. Cheka and the KGB arrested dissidents with the government, "enemies of the revolution", and were not To be executed was to be sent to a concentrated labor camp like Gulag Island. After 1953, Khrushchev came to power, overturned some of Stalin's conclusions, put a useful patch on the framework of the centralized government, and politically tended towards enlightened autocracy, allowing the Soviets to continue their lives for another 40 years. Child 44 happened at such a turning point in history. The gloomy tone, the looming Stalin, and the political skill, can only feel this shuddering fear by understanding this era and background. This is not a suspense film, you can understand. At the same time, this is also a sentiment of the times, because we have had it before. Compared with the current comic-based movies, Mission Impossible 5, Pig Run 6 and Batman 7 are the best sellers. Such reflections and feelings have been ridiculed by the public. It shows the sadness of history. I would like to praise the film, although he still has many shortcomings. .

    The plot introduction is very exciting, but the actual story lines are not too connected, almost two isolated plots, which is also the case, the behavioral motives between the characters are also incomprehensible and fragmented, and there are many small details that end up It didn't affect the story, it was confusing to watch.

    The front and back are a bit detached, the front is political horror, and the back becomes a detective film. I really don't understand that while they are being hunted, they are still busy chasing the killer. Maybe reading the novel will understand a lot. I probably flipped through the book, and the access was still quite large. Especially for the murderer's motive.
