Since the disintegration of the Soviet Union, there have been very few Russian films involving war films, and more focus on love and sci-fi, but disappointing Russian films are like winning vodka It seems to have been determined, and there have been almost no impressive masterpieces in more than 20 years. When it comes to Russian movies, more people may think of Soviet war movies with grand scenes, but today I want to talk to you about it. The "Stalingrad" is a rare use of the story of small characters to tell the story of the war in the background.
Stalingrad, the most tragic film in human history, has been put on the screen for the third time. In 1989, the Soviet Union's "The Great Bloody Battle of Stalingrad" and Germany's "Battle of Stalingrad" in 1993 , Comparing the two, I prefer the latter. Although the former has a grand scene, its foothold is just repeating the old tune to praise the victory of its own war, while the latter's "Battle of Stalingrad" shot in Germany is a real war. In retrospect, this is what I think a war movie should do. It happens to be the new Russian version of "Stalingrad" after 20 years. In fact, this is a film that has many similarities with the German version of "Battle of Stalingrad". The movie, like a group of fighters who came together because of the war, has a tragic ending, but this time the protagonist is replaced by the Soviets. In fact, whether it is "Stalingrad" or the 93 version of "Battle of Stalingrad" ". The most similar thing between the two is to expose the cruelty of the war with a small role, and to comment on everything in the war from a very objective point of view, in comparison with the domestically produced devils, machine guns and planes..., I'm used to exaggeration" "Fantastic" domestic anti-Japanese dramas, compared with these excellent films that can really cause people to think and introspect, it really makes me feel ashamed.
The opening of the movie does not go straight to the theme, but takes the earthquake in Japan as an opportunity to spread the whole plot through the third-person flashback technique. The story at the beginning is actually very attractive. My five fathers, the main line of this movie Throughout the entire plot, the tone of the entire film is no longer a traditional Soviet film praising victory and a full-scale war written from the overall situation, but in a way of "seeing the small with the big, and seeing the big with the small". The counter-offensive on the Volga River, a large-scale war, and the scene of the Soviet Red Army's counter-offensive charging without fear of life and death, the cruelty of the war was vividly displayed at the beginning. Trapped in the house of the young girl Kaja, doing hard support, the battle of Stalingrad was reflected in the re-emergence of this pair of troops and the German army fighting to the death around the house of the young girl Kaja.
The five Soviet soldiers in the movie became friends of Kaja when they were trapped in this strategically important house. According to later incomplete statistics, the average life of each soldier who participated in the Battle of Stalingrad was less than 1 day. There is often a house that has changed hands several times before the enemy and me. The tragic war has made it an extravagant hope to live, so the film will use more ink to describe this precious friendship, especially Kajia's birthday. Jin's scheming and the high song of a singer who was a singer before the war touched the hearts of almost every audience member. After that, the soldiers' siege seemed to change from being for the country to protecting Kaja, while the German officer on the other side, Kahn The love with the Russian girl Martha because of the war is the auxiliary line of this movie, especially in the movie Kahn's sentence in the movie: "The war turns each other into beasts and prostitutes". From the killing of the German army by the sniper, to the massacre of the civilians by the German army, at the end, the telegraph operator shouted "fire at me" and perished with the enemy. The war here has made people give up reason, conscience, and even life. The whole story itself has a qualitative change from the former Soviet war movies. The former is a tribute to war, while the latter is really from an objective and rational perspective. The mouth of the German officer Kahn uttered this sentence: "War turns each other into beasts and prostitutes" a cry of disgust for war, so when the reporter shouted "shoot at me" in this movie, at least I did not feel " The heroic blood of Heroes and Sons is the helplessness, despair and deep thinking of war. Of course, this movie also has some shortcomings. The characters in the movie are not detailed enough and are too pale. It just reflects the cruelty and big scenes of the war, and lacks the portrayal of the characters' souls. The opening opportunity of the five fathers is in the movie. It is also not well reflected. There are too many supporting roles for Soviet soldiers in the movie, which gives the impression that the male protagonist is not prominent enough.
Times create movies, and movies affect the times. Through this movie, I feel that the kind of movie that just praises victory is really not what our era needs. Time will eventually heal the pain of war. In the age of peace, what we need is the mourning of war that reflects the truest aspect of the damned war.
