The Soviet military officers and the old hunters of the Hezhe nationality established a deep friendship in the struggle with nature. People who believed in two completely different survival philosophies finally became friends of life and death.
Combining with the severe Sino-Soviet relations and the international situation during the filming period, it is not difficult to understand that there is a link between the black my flower planter in the film. The two protagonists encounter cruel flower-grower thieves in the mountains and forests. In the end, this group of thieves was wiped out by another group of Asian troops. (I haven't found the affiliation of this unit, what ethnicity it belongs to)
Those who are familiar with history will know that the territory of the Ussuri River Valley will not be mentioned at the time. It was once burned, killed and looted in the area. Are Japan and Russia embarrassed to poke others?
But to be fair, I think Emperor Kurosawa has done his best to minimize the political color of the film. I don’t know whether the Soviet Union, as the capitalist, was sufficiently satisfied. It is reported that when the film was released in the Soviet Union, the Soviet side also cut more than 20 minutes of footage, causing Kurosawa to furious. Regardless of political factors, this is still an excellent film that tells the relationship between people and nature.
After reviewing other reviews, some large-character newspaper articles are still floating on the Internet. This kind of insult is extremely inefficient. If anyone is unhappy about the territories of the Far East, I can make a movie where my general Lan Yu is fishing in the sea! It is enough to properly handle the emotions of the Mongolian and Han ethnic groups, not mentioning the bears at all, because they didn't belong here before. If you are uncomfortable, you can make a film about the Ryukyu Islands once an independent sovereign country! Find an interesting and advanced way of storytelling, and then output it to be considered level. It's like "Wolf Warrior 2" can also burn my patriotism, but the way of telling stories is not as advanced as "Operation Red Sea".
Of course, history is constantly changing. In the face of eternal interests, only by figuring out who needs to be united, wined, and confronted at this stage, can we better tell colorful stories.
I hope that the film can be more pure, but no matter what time and space we live in, we can't get rid of some shackles. If you can't get rid of it, just go up and chant. It's fun to complete the challenge. Quirky and crooked, in the end it can only be crooked.
