This is a world full of cannon fodder

"Tall" is about the life experience of a pair of girlfriends after the Soviet Union basically ended World War II. It belongs to the kind of film that indirectly expresses war. Pain and tragedy are the main theme of this Russian film. The audience's eyes are full of scars from war, lack of supplies, and those who are alive are suffering from the pain of losing their loved ones. They have no hope at all, and they don't even have the strength to struggle and express pain. I survived the war with great difficulty, but didn't want to live anymore after the war. This is a world full of cannon fodder. Of course, it is a female-themed movie. The pair of comrades who came back from the front line had their misguided thoughts and behaviors in terms of sex, and only a little hope in terms of love. They were quickly crushed and shattered. They all showed the war against women. Devastated. What is even more shocking is the dialogue between the tall girl and the lady at the end of the movie. It turns out that the Soviet army arranged for the female soldiers to go directly to the front to comfort them. The environment for these female soldiers is still quite sinister. That kind of heart-wrenching uncomfortable feeling always oppresses the audience. In this situation, the justice, national spirit and heroism are all insignificant. It is understandable that in Europe, don't say that it is really a war, and that war is unpopular. The only thing in the movie that allows the audience to see hope and the future is that tall children and girlfriends crazily want children. Children are hope and children are the future.

    6/10. Children are both the hope of fertility and the honor of national reconstruction. It is not difficult to guess from the lines about the existence of comfort women that the scar on Martha's abdomen is not only a shrapnel scratch, but also a hysterectomy caused by an abortion. Regardless of the bottom line, innocent people are implicated, just to find cruel hope for tall people to give birth to children, but tall people are not pure and innocent. She conspired with the doctor to suffocate a paralyzed soldier. The relationship reflects the distorted relationship between people and the country: for the honor and needs of the country, no human factor is taken into account; at the dinner table climax when discussing the engagement, the boyfriend became angry after hearing it, and the father just calmly told him to close the door, which shows that male power The burial of the history of comfort women by society. Delicate colors and sudden changes in character attitudes express a physical conflict: green paint dripping from the walls, to Rosa's green dress when she meets the man's parents, to Rosa's getting in the car and throwing alcohol on her boyfriend who wants to entertain her. Her actions can suddenly become angry and contemplative when she is immersed in laughter, but unfortunately these superficial handling of the physical conflict between men and women/heights are often unclear.

    The QY-280 subtitle group of Qiyu Movies, I read the lines several times during the translation process, and found a lot of key information. A line that appears anywhere will bring the key character experience of the character. It is actually a very cruel post-war story. The front-line comfort women, the aftermath of war trauma and lesbian relationships are all very serious themes. The screenwriter has reserved a lot of small details. After that, every time a point is thrown, people will be caught off guard. The director uses When shooting war from a female perspective, I chose such a tricky perspective. The story seems calm, but the stamina and aftertaste are too terrifying, and I deserve to be the new director of the fighting nation. The director used three exaggerated lights of red, green and yellow throughout the entire process. People of different classes and identities have different lighting in the room. The overall style is very stylized. The stage-based style scheduling is slightly stronger, but the audio-visual scheduling of a few highlights It is very accurate. The most accurate scheduling is not far from the Cannes main game.
