how and what to say

Incredible debut that won the Golden Lion. I understand why Anta, Fellini and Bergman are collectively called the Holy Trinity.
Anta finally went into exile in France and died there. In him, the complexity of directing under a system can best be seen.
The content of Ivan is obviously the main theme of what we are talking about, but he reflects his own thinking in terms of film technology and deeper connotations. Technology and deep meaning have been analyzed too much, just look at those.
The ending of the movie is shocking. Ivan disappeared behind enemy lines, the female medic was transferred to the rear by the young superior who had a crush on her, and the suppressed colonel smashed the chair in anger. The Colonel's anger is evident when he and the female medic let the girl beside him in the birch grove and then drive the girl away. During the war, he knew that love was vain and unbearable. Returning from the river, the colonel had lost Ivan, a friend who had died earlier, and brought back two hanged comrades, and now watched the medic leave. Although he knew it was right to let the medic leave, the captain loved him too. The next picture is the celebration of the occupation of Berlin, the captain's muttering tells us that Colonel Colin is dead, and then he finds the file on the execution of Ivan. In the file, Ivan looks directly at the camera.
In fact, the biggest touch of this movie is: any story is divided into how to tell and what to tell.

Ivan's Childhood quotes

  • Ivan's Mother: If a well is really deep, you can see a star down there even in the middle of a sunny day.

  • Ivan: Is he a Fritz too?

    Galtsev: He's either a German doctor or writer.

    Ivan: They have no writers. I saw them burning books in a square. They poured gasoline on them and set them on fire. There was soot in the air for a week.

    Galtsev: That writer lived 400 years ago.

    Ivan: Well, then maybe.
