The two-hour film has a coherent plot. In the first five minutes, Kolchak is in a state of fierce naval battle. Kolchak calmly commands his warship like a natural general, relying on boldness and calmness, and defeating the strong with the mine-laying ship. Blew up a German cruiser. After that, he rescued the prince in the Baltic Sea and was honored by the prince himself. Everything went smoothly in a good direction, but all these seemingly perfect things were easily crushed. The officers of the empire with countless honors above them were killed like cattle.
How unpredictable a person's fate is. It was originally a rising star, but suddenly the emperor abdicated and became a masterless soldier. Kolchak under the interpretation of Khabinski has a kind of energy that attracts me, and maybe it is also the advantage of all the Russian people. A man's unchanging composure and faithfulness in times of crisis are as calm as Siberia. Frozen Lake Baikal and granite. Excluding the flaws or class stance that the two-hour script has portrayed his life, from the perspective of one person, I found in him a quality worthy of my appreciation and touch.
His love for the motherland and his comrades in arms, seeing the beginning of the massacre, he abandoned his personal honor in order to protect the army of the motherland and threw the saber representing his personal honor in the Black Sea, calmly defying the immediate riot. At the last moment, disbanding the army, even if it is to meet death, face it alone and protect those loyal comrades in arms. This is the last thing he can do. Putting aside personal successes and failures, life is fifty years old, what can life be stingy about? As long as it has existed. I think this can also explain why when faced with the provisional government searching for his wife and children, an old subordinate or former comrade-in-arms was willing to sacrifice his life to help, even if the camera did not stay on him for an extra second.
The love for Anna, there has never been a vigorous and passionate scene in the film, most of which are separated from the two places, and sent to miss through letters. After a short meeting, Kolchak said to Anna "I love you so I choose to leave you". It was this sentence that hit me and deeply admired the man's courage to choose to give up. And even if in the end Anna failed to realize her only wish to dance with you once, but I know that after her reunion in the icy Siberia, she said "this time with you is the best time in my life". Enough to make Kolchak and everyone pleased.
Unimaginable sadness, the new regime won victory, and the great working class overthrew the decadent tsarist rule. Putting aside all these slogans, the whole film reveals a dead silence and murder like the freezing cold of minus 60 degrees in Siberia. There are not too many changes of the times and the bloody blood under the revolutionary trend, but it always reveals sadness and depression. What reappears in my mind is this lens: the picturesque Sevastopol shore is empty. The military uniforms and guns that represent honor, while under the sea are a bunch of bones that were dragged into the seabed by rocks and erected like terracotta warriors. A chill is in my heart; the Cossack soldiers known as "white bandits" are playing. After running out of food, he charged forward with military music, and fell to the ground like a mustard under the fire of a water-cooled machine gun. In this way, his living life was mixed with the frozen soil of Siberia. If you don't talk about the meaning of life, there are just unspeakable depressions.
It’s worth embarrassing at the end of the film. When everything has become a dusty past, later generations awkwardly wanted to capture a few fragments to reproduce that era, but let go of the lady who had the most say in the corner.
There is no merit or demerit, right or wrong, after the dust returns to the dust, at least love is enough.
