The dead man's eyes and expressions became the main theme of the picture under the guidance of Gao Daquan.
However, it can be seen that the Russians are as cold as the ice and snow.
hero? They are also ruthless to foreigners.
Where did their land come from?
I feel that even this ex-Soviet film reflects this ruthless nature of the Russians. It is not difficult to explain today's Russian skinheads.
The Red Army, the guerrillas, may sometimes be more despicable and cruel to the common people than the Germans.
Stalin may not have the kindness of the Führer for his comrades-in-arms and the people.
However, the little girl in the film is really cute. That woman's eldest daughter. And the children who appeared later all acted a little artificially. It is estimated that the youth art troupes of the former Soviet Union came out.
That little girl is really cute and beautiful.

The Ascent quotes

  • Sotnikov: [Imprisoned, Sotnikov and Rybak are arguing whether to speak with Germans or not] We're soldiers. Soldiers. Don't crawl in shit. You'll never wash it off.

    Rybak: So then, to the grave - to feed the worms. Right?

    Sotnikov: That's not the worst that could happen. No. That's not what I'm talking about. Now I understand. I understand. The important thing is to be true to yourself.

    Rybak: Fool! You're a fool, Sotnikov. You graduated from the institute for nothing. I want to live! To live! To kill those bastards! Understand? I'm the soldier. And you're a corpse. All you've got left is your stubbornness - your principles!

    Sotnikov: Then go, go on living - without a conscience. It can be done.

  • Portnov, the Nazi interrogator: You want to save the woman without giving up anything? That won't work. You'll have to trouble your conscience. One way or the other, you'll have to. There's no way out. None.

    Sotnikov: I won't betray anyone. Not anyone. There are things more important than one's own hide.

    Portnov, the Nazi interrogator: [laughs] Where? What is it? What's it made of? That's nonsense. We're mortal. With death, everything ends for up, all of life. The entire world. It's not worth it. For what? As an example for future generations? But you won't have a heroic death, either. You won't just die. You'll croak like a traitor. And if you won't tell, someone else will. And we'll write it off to you. Understand?

    Sotnikov: Scum. Human scum.
