The picture, what impressed me the most was the picture! From the beginning to the end, the texture of the picture is like an oil painting, and almost every still frame can be used as a painting, but unfortunately these paintings will inevitably reveal tragic emotions. The ability to achieve this effect is not only through color correction, but also through the director's profound ability to grasp the keynote, as well as the high degree of unity between the set designer, costume design, makeup modeling and lighting design and the director's concept, and this strong It just exudes the Russian temperament, a very manly fighting nation temperament.
It is a pity that this film did not have time to go to the theater to watch the 3D version. It is said that this time is the largest investment in the history of Russian film co-produced by Russia and the United States, reaching 230 million US dollars. Format for full shooting. It can be said that there were many difficulties in the early filming of the film. On the one hand, it was necessary to reproduce the Battle of Stalingrad in 1942 in a panoramic view, and to restore the modern history realistically. For this reason, the crew built many 1:1 buildings and street scenes with reference to the city drawings of that year. In the later stage, these efforts will be blown up according to the plot without exception. On the other hand, this film was shot with a full-size true 3D camera. In order to ensure the realistic 3D visual effects, a group of experienced 3D technical experts were specially invited from the United States to be responsible for the 3D filming work on site. Moreover, the crew used a total of 300 extras to express the grand scenes and tragic conditions of the battle through various aspects such as water, land and air. The long shot of hundreds of people landing in the battle at the opening is considered enough to be recorded in film history. The shooting method of the lens is also more "Russianized", there is not too much jitter, and more serious and objective shots, which is very different from the "liberalization" of American war films, with obvious Russian-made imprints. The technical sophistication destined it to be an exquisite film in the visual sense.
The poignant story is placed in such a sophisticated technical background to highlight its soul-stirring plot. The suspense of "Five Dads" runs through from the beginning to the end, but the answer to the mystery is so bleak. And Kaja's motherly love for several soldiers, Gromov's pure and fiery affection for Kaja, the love between German Nazis and "Nazi bitches" boasting national hatred in this tattered war against humanity More to leave a ray of light for the beauty of human nature. The weak Kaja swears to stay in his house even if he dies, which coincides with the behavior of several soldiers who swear to guard this house, because this is not just a house, but also a microcosm of this country, the war’s epitome. The most important point is that such a heavy burden is placed on these young people. Even under such high pressure, they still have their yearning for a better life. They want to have sex, want to change clothes, bathe, and drink wine Gao Ge wants to give the little girl a lively birthday. The high contrast between the event and the background increases the dramatic tension, tearing people's hearts a little bit.
The background music in the film is also just right, it can always continue a certain mood, and even feel that it is telling a story itself, with the perfect cooperation of all departments, it is destined to be an epic war book, the 2014 Oscar for the best foreign language film is not. Its none other than that.
