A feature film that reflects the war from the side. Although it was very depressing to watch, it was really a good film. The story takes place in a post-war hospital. The war is about to end, and everything seems to be restored to the original state, but there are countless people who have been unable to go back to the past. The two heroines had both been on the front line, and later returned to the hospital to work as nurses, worrying about food and clothing.
A large number of scenes in the film are night scenes, the red reflected by candlelight, the dark yellow under the light, the red in the light of the characters, the black that is invisible when the light exits, and the pale white under the cool color, just like an oil painting. The color tone quietly tells you the unfinished meaning of the lines, the two heroines, one is red and the other is green. As the plot develops, the colors of the clothes of the two begin to blend, gradually increasing the color of each other, and finally completely reversed. Visually, it shows the gradual change and replacement of the positions of the two sides. The Russians' aesthetics and lens expressiveness are really strong.
Iya took the child to the hospital. There was a plot in which the wounded soldiers learned from animals and asked the children to guess. At first, I thought the intention was to show the cruelty of war with the wounded soldiers’ blinded eyes and broken hands. Discovered more than that. Children don’t know what a dog is. Perhaps in such a poor environment, people not only can’t afford to raise a dog, they may even kill to satisfy their hunger. However, when Masha went to her boyfriend’s house, his mother was taking a hound home for a walk. I patted this beautiful dog carefully, and a simple lens class contrast is in front of my eyes.
The rhythm of the film is slow and dull. There is no BGM in the whole film. During the day, it is noisy outdoors. At night, there are either faint broadcast sounds or quiet. Only people talk softly. Such a heavy story, with such a tone, this way The background sound of the movie is already very depressing without having to think about the plot carefully.
The simplest character in the film is the dude who pursues Martha. He is dragged out by his friends to hunt for sex, but he falls in love with Martha. He pursues her in a clumsy way, gives her delicious food, and makes trouble with her like a pupil. Then I have to take her home to see her parents, even if she knows that she is barren, marry her, and Martha begins to have children with him, and then eats food from him, and hopes that he can bring a better life. The plot design is also very good. The pampered canary thinks that love is a big deal. Compared with people who have experienced war, poverty, and sickness, it is simple to make people angry.
Martha has always had a vision for this man, but she can’t hate it. She didn’t lie to her boyfriend’s mother. She told her all her misfortunes. The conversation between them was not just between the mother and the son’s girlfriend. The dialogue between the two classes is also the most direct conflict.
This is where I want to compare this film with the previous one. Every character in the film has their dark side, but from their speech and behavior, rhythm and tone of speech, subtle eyes and movements, you can I realize what their selfishness, cruelty, and greed come from, and what kind of pain and despair they endure. By entering the heart of the character, I can feel the cruelty of the war and the helplessness of the war. This is what the film wants to convey.
======== The following is a summary of the full spoiler, watch carefully ========
