Film and television art is actually similar to all forms of literature and art, and it is difficult to break away from the needs of reality. Just as all history is actually contemporary history, a piece of history can only arouse realistic associations and interests. It will not be forgotten by the crowd. In recent years, China’s General Shi Lang and other sensitive historical dramas in the Taiwan Strait have become popular. This is one example. The reason why Admiral Kolchak has become the focus of the new Russian screen is actually very interesting, almost with him. In the revolutionary and turbulent era of 1917, the leaders supported by the traditional old forces had similar reasons. They were nothing more than handsome appearances, scholars and prominent generals, and the status of war heroes. After all, they were star effects. Politics and performances are actually very good. Similar.
A capable professional soldier and a terrible politician.
Kolchak has almost all the elements that constitute a tragic historical figure. After several years of economic recovery, Russia needs to discover the national heroes buried in history and renew Regain the feeling of a lost great power. Stalin in red has been identified as a figure who contributed second only to Peter the Great in Russian history. I believe this is a conclusion without ideology. From the Soviet era to Russia, Stalin can rest in peace. Now, the leader of the white army has also been found. Hehe, the red face and white face have found common ground in Russia today. The effort to rebuild national confidence is not trivial. The
film is based on Kolchak’s military career. Shiningly, the victory over Germany in the Battle of the Black Sea in World War I started, and the lingering love scene with his second wife Anna almost runs through the movie.
Since the beginning of the Russo-Japanese War, the navy has always been a pain in Russia's heart forever. In the second half of the 19th century, Russia, which once defeated Napoleon and served as the European military police, became increasingly outdated because of its rejection of all-round reforms. From the Crimean War in 1853 to the First World War in 1914, Russia was fighting against European powers. Almost repeatedly defeated in the battle. The Russo-Japanese War of 1905 made the world even more shocking. The huge Russian bear was knocked to the ground by the thin Japanese wolf. The Russian navy also fell from the third place in the world navy rankings to the huge one at the beginning of World War I. The Anglo-German navy, the embarrassing situation of influx.
The film focuses on the victory of Kolchak's unrepaired war in the Black Sea. We don't know whether there is a naval plot that Russia still cherishes.
The overall feeling is that this is a political movie. I doubt that besides making the characters absolutely heroic and degrading the October Revolution as a cruel and beautiful social catastrophe, what else can it convey? If it is a lack of historical knowledge, just watching this movie is very easy to have an illusory and beautiful impression of Russia before the revolution. Even liberals, as long as they have a bit of objective spirit, can't stand the film's ignorance of the background of the October Revolution. Can a film that strives to avoid historical truths give people a little room to think? The patriotism that it promotes is superficial in this way.
No one can avoid the cruelty during the October Revolution, the star is shifting, and the Soviet Union's disintegration is obvious to all, confirming the unpopularity of the Soviet-style rigid and inhuman system. However, is it possible that such a social revolution that led to the division of Russian society and the exile of 2 million people was just as described in the film. It seems that some bad-quality thugs ignored the wise leadership of the tsar, and the domestic harmonious and happy life was brought about by nothing. Is it?
The answer can only be no. If it were not for the tsarist government’s indifference to reforms and the corruption and incompetence of the entire old Russian ruling clique, the October Revolution would not have occurred.
War is a touchstone to test the strength of a country and the ability of its leaders!
Stalin once said: In addition to resolutely winning victory, the Russian people do not allow their army to have other qualities. "It can be said that it deeply cherishes the mentality of the Russian nation.
The defeat of Russia in the Russo-Japanese War immediately led to the attempted revolution in 1905, and the foundation of the tsarist rule had been shaken. The Russian army’s record in World War I can only be described as horrible. The soldiers on the front line not only lacked adequate supplies, but many had no shoes and food. Even the basic weapons and rifles could only be used by several people, and the level of military leadership was poor. It also caused huge casualties of the Russian army. I have no intention to deny Kolchak's personal record. Unfortunately, he can only be regarded as the best of the average. The only glorious record of the Russian Navy in the film is a misunderstanding of history.
The beginning of the revolution was not only because of the domestic famine during the war, but also because of Russia's defeat on the front line, which caused the people to be completely disappointed with the tsarist government, and dissatisfaction spread throughout the society. The Russian nation is a nation with strong patriotism and great power consciousness. The Russian people can endure hunger, cold and sacrifice, but they cannot endure the incompetence of the army. Thinking about it carefully, the defeat in the foreign war will be the fuse for the fall of the regime no matter what era. Germany after the First World War did not almost stage a good show of Bolschwick's seizure of power. Therefore, in history, foreign wars have been used to divert the attention of domestic contradictions, and it is very easy to cause fire.
In 1917, when the tsar fell from power, Kolchak, as a professional soldier, was at a loss. As a person who advocated order, he was very disgusted with the February bourgeois revolution, and of course it was impossible to accept the October revolution. The film strives to render Kolchak's aristocratic temperament and the contempt and composure of the soldiers facing the uprising and seizing power. This is a kind of sadness. Russia has long been split into two different worlds. Kolchak did not understand the problems of the country and the plight and suffering of the middle and lower classes. A patriotic professional soldier does not really understand what is happening in his home country. Such a high-ranking soldier's political career is a tragedy anyway.
Looking at the officers cruelly executed by naval soldiers in the film, the creepy "pillars" that were tied up with rocks and sunk into the sea, sighed, but I thought of the French Revolution, Louis XVI, and many others who went to the guillotine. People may not be guilty of death. They are actually paying off debts for thousands of years of cruelty and injustice. Time cannot extinguish hatred, and history often returns justice to the people in cruel ways.
Don’t violence and terror until today have mostly occurred in places where the suffering of the people at the bottom is not paid attention to and complaints have nowhere to go?
When Kolchak established an anti-Soviet interim government in Siberia, his oath was intriguing, he was not stingy with his life, his relatives and friends, and he only cared about the revival and strength of Russia. Although Kolchak's White Army failed, the tricolor flag of Kolchak's provisional government finally fluttered dramatically over the Kremlin after 70 years of silence. Who is the winner? Is it Kolchak? Still just a banner.
Kolchak, Denikin and Deng Yunik, these white generals are relatively standard professional soldiers. The revolution involved them in the cruel civil war. In the intricate civil war, these expert generals are the standard. With the huge military assistance from all countries in the world, they used to take advantage of the aversion of many old Russian soldiers and aristocrats to the Soviets, and once forced the Soviet power to almost exhaustion. Unfortunately, they were only restorers of the old order rather than reforms. In the confrontation with the various parties in the country, they all showed their clumsiness. Even if this level of governance is successful, what can it be? It is just a copy of the old elite politics of the nobility.
The film vigorously portrays the cruelty of the Red Army. In fact, the cruelty of Kolchak’s White Army in the civil war is not inferior to that of the Red Army. In addition, there are no practical reform measures. The people are completely disappointed in the White Army, which represents the old order, and are cruel and decisive. The Soviet, which uses talents in an eclectic style, is full of vitality. It is a social system that looks so bright and attractive and unknown before. There is no need to criticize the predecessors. The process of social development is full of exploration and pain. People will know what the result is. Those who were full of enthusiasm for the Soviets were not only soldiers and workers, but also a large number of intellectuals and aristocratic officers. Tukhachevsky, who was born as a nobleman, was only a lieutenant in World War I, but by the end of the Civil War he had become the Red Army. The commander of the army. Boldly use talents to turn the red regime into peace. Without the guidance of fresh spiritual power, the White Army was destined to be the loser of Russian history in the early 20th century that was rushing with ideology.
Many soldiers of the White Army probably suffer from the perplexed Gregorian pain in "Quiet Don". In each major era, the most painful thing is probably not the radicals and the old school, but the helpless chaos. A conscientious, ordinary person who is eager to live a stable life.
Although the Soviets made Russia pay a heavy price, it must be admitted that the industrial construction and counterattack against aggression in the Soviet era, especially the Stalin era, and the expansion after the war. The Soviet Union in the Stalin era achieved the dream of all czars of all generations, and once dominated the pattern of the world. Make all Russian nationalists proud regardless of their beliefs.
General Denikin, who fled to the West after the war, was the spiritual leader of the Russian exiles. When Hitler invaded the Soviet Union in World War II, Denikin called on the Russian exiles to abandon their ideological hatred and support the Soviet Union’s Patriotic War in various forms. The famous German invader Guderian once met an old general from the Tsarist era. The old man’s attitude made him stunned. "If you came here 20 years ago, I would welcome you with open arms, but we Today you have just built a country, but you are here, so we can only unite and drive you out.” This is probably typical of Russian patriotism, so shocking, it may reveal how this once superpower can be proud of the world.
The scene of Kolchak falling in love with his second wife Anna in the film is undoubtedly the highlight. All Kolchak images that we can see now show that Kolchak is a tall, handsome soldier with hard lines. Even strictly speaking, the actors in the movie cannot vividly express the perseverance of this historical figure. Such men are undoubtedly favored by women, and Kolchak has the crown of war hero and scholar. The passionate and beautiful Anna is obsessed with it, and it is reasonable to abandon her husband. The film uses Anna’s unswerving love for Kolchak, which has brought out the protagonist’s personal charm. This should be a more outstanding part of the movie. .
With the collapse of the White Army's regime, Kolchak was betrayed by the Czech Army eager to return to the Soviet regime. Faced with rescue by the White Army, Kolchak was secretly executed by the Red Army.
This famous general who explored the Arctic ice field and became famous in the waves of the Black Sea, was finally buried in the cold water under the ice cave with a burst of random guns.
The complete cruelty of the October Revolution, even the French Revolution, which is known as the guillotine, pales in comparison. Not only Kolchak, but the abdicated czar’s family, including many nobles who did not escape, faced the guns of the red firing squad. In the mid-1920s, the domestic threat from the old ruling class had completely disappeared. However, when the revolution wiped out its own external enemies and banned all different voices, then it was actually equivalent to introducing potential enemies into itself, the Soviet Union. Isn’t the demise of the party due to heresy within the party?
The end of the film is a bit of the shadow of the old blockbuster Titanic, full of sentimental sentiment. After the release of Kolchak’s wife Anna, who was imprisoned by the Soviet government for 37 years, she worked as an extra actor in the film studio. A filming followed the music on the scene. When the voice sounded, the actors who played the nobleman danced gracefully, and Anna felt sad, trance, and the wine glass in her hand fell to the ground. Time seems to have gone back decades ago. Kolchak and his comrades in navy uniforms, dressed in navy uniforms, have returned to the world. Everything is so beautiful and warm. For persistence in love, through ups and downs, youth and beauty Anna, who is absent, is drunk in the memories of the good old days.
Re-evaluating historical figures objectively is the progress of the times, but the famous Russian director Andrei Kravkuk obviously did not have a deep grasp of and thought about the tragic fate of the October Revolution and Kolchak. He was biased in another way. To respond to the biases of the past. The movie Admiral Kolchak can only be regarded as a narcissistic adult fairy tale in Russia, which is still in the confusion of history.
