    Andrei Tarkovsky's debut novel. Although it is a war movie, the layout is small and there is no big scene. But in the use of photography and montage has become very good. The combination of virtual and real is superb, and several illusory and beautiful dreams are like the finishing touch, allowing the audience to have a deeper and more detailed excavation and understanding of the character of Ivan. Unforgettable and worth savoring.

    "Ivan's Childhood" is indeed very poetic, and Tarkovsky's switching between dreams and reality is very accurate. The war is just a background symbol, and the inner struggle of the characters is the focus of the director's attention. However, I am not too fond of this "poetry movie" that blindly suppresses the plot, and would rather watch the long-shot close-up in "Little Soldier Zhang Ga". Scored 8.1.
