The soundtrack is very smooth, from start to finish, with the Russian shamisen as the main melody, which is very infectious.
The composition is very particular, every shot is perfect, from close-up to panorama, every picture is brilliant.
The storyline is pushed forward slowly, and small climaxes are constantly set in the middle, pushing the plot to a high point step by step. Although the time is very long, there are few boring places, which shows the depth of the screenwriter's skill.
In terms of color, cool colors are mainly used to reflect the cruelty of social reality and personal helplessness, and the occasional bright warm colors give people hope.
I just finished watching "War and Peace" in the past few days. When I encounter war-themed films, I can't help but feel deeply. Leo Tolstoy said in "War and Peace" that we are always in the torrent of history, and the direction of history is often changed by various accidental factors, so no one knows where to go. We live in a society where we think we know everything, but in fact we don't know anything. Individuals are the most overwhelmed. In front of society, people appear very insignificant, completely helpless and at the mercy of others. The same is stated in the video.
But the only thing that can save us is love. For the love of relatives, the love of lovers, the love of freedom. As long as there is love in the heart, everything can be conquered. So Yuri has always been happy, and there is always happiness in his eyes.
Overall, it's a good movie, but it's a little long and a little procrastinated. Compared with Zhang Yimou's "Alive", it should be regarded as China's Zhivago.
