The Soviet Union, the Slavic peoples, the Russian language, and black and white films are words that I yearn for.
After watching "Yan Nanfei" and "Song of the Soldier" one after another, I can't help but look back
at "Ivan's Boyhood", which I watched last March, because it was the only one of the three films that didn't impress me.
The backgrounds of the three films are all wars, and they are also narratives of small characters. As for the reason why they didn’t touch me,
let’s take it as my ignorance and short-sightedness!
Also because of the two films "Flying Wild Goose" and "Song of the Soldier", I got to know a glorious
period in the history of film - the Soviet New Wave (new wave is also my favorite word),
"Soviet Union" plus "New Wave", which What a fascinating thing it is!
The mirror movement of "Song of the Soldiers" can't be seen by a layman, but it sings
the common emotion of human beings. After half a century, it is not limited by time, space, language and nation at all, and
it can still touch all human beings.
Alyosha's small soldiers made great contributions and received
six days of vacation, two days home, two days at home, and two days back to the army. Repairing the roof is not the main purpose of this trip home, but to
reunite with my mother who was too late to say goodbye.
Alyosha's trip home can be seen as a form of road movie. The kind- hearted
Alyosha met many characters on the way. A soldier who was missing his left foot,
because of his inferiority, could not bear to delay his wife's happiness; The two
precious bars
of soap during the war were handed over to the father of his comrade-in-arms. Even if he didn't know each other at all, Alyosha knew how to comfort
his family members in the rear. The so-called "reporting good news but not bad news" and "no news is good news".
Later, he met a kind-hearted aunt (she also has a son on the front line) to give him a ride;
And the displaced Ukrainian family. Along the way, Alyosha's image was
gradually established in the hearts of the audience, and he was also anxious for Alyosha's short time
.
When I watched the movie, the hood was "farewell." First, Alyosha and Shula
shed a few tears in the part where they parted. Until the moment when Alyosha and his mother reunited and hugged, his
emotions collapsed to tears, and he couldn't help himself for a long
time. It took only a few minutes for the mother and son to reunite, but two days of family happiness turned into an extravagant hope,
thinking that this short reunion was actually eternity. The parting, I indulge the unstoppable sadness even more, and
let the tears blur my vision.
