black, really black

I never thought that the Russians would make Lyudmila's life so good, and I never thought that today's Russian directors would be so black on the Soviet Union. Interspersed with all kinds of black in the movie. In recent years, more and more films have been made in Russia for the purpose of blackening the Soviet Union. The last "Stalingrad" was a little bit covered up. Now this one is completely torn off. What about fighting for the motherland? No. What about fighting for your loved ones? nor. What about fighting for friends? still none. Some are just a little girl crying for her lover.
Historically, Lyudmila never married. It is said that her boyfriend did die in battle, but she will not be as tangled as in the movie. If my lover dies at the hands of German devils, I will kill more German devils to avenge him. This is the common thought of almost all Soviet soldiers who lost their lovers on the battlefield.
There are too many places where the Soviet Union is black in this film. Especially when the lover just died and was injured, but was asked to pose for a photo, and then the lover's body was thrown into the car and carried away. When I saw this, I almost smashed the keyboard, how could it be black?
All in all, this is the skin of the Great Patriotic War, and the inside is just an idol drama. There is no scene, no connotation, and every place smears the bad films of the Soviet Union.

    The connotation of Soviet-style feminism is that "women can be the same as men", and the connotation of Western-style feminism is "women and men are different". As a Soviet-style propaganda image, Lyudmila naturally conveys the former, so take the latter idea To rewrite the former narrative is too uncomfortable. The messy emotional entanglement is disgusting.

    The combination of two-line narratives is not good, often disturbing the audience's emotional brewing, and shooting many scenes in MV to shoot wars will greatly reduce the authenticity (it is not true if there is a broken limb, after all), and the love scenes are too many to focus on the wrong point. Just rewriting Makarov and skipping the others, the female lead isn't capable enough to handle the role, but was startled by a falling frying pan while cooking borsch with Mrs. Roosevelt, and was naked when changing clothes. The back was scarred, and I was moved to consider ignoring the shortcomings; however, the more I watched the later, the more I felt that the ideological output in the film had degraded the film too much. It should be viewed from a more human nature, universal, and moral perspective. There should be no ideological problems, but the film instead emphasizes the superiority of ideology. This is too absurd
