At the beginning of the film, there was a peaceful atmosphere. The fortress was full of singing and laughter. The fat officer was still showing off his ballet skills triumphantly. The young guy who sent the film footage was showing off with the saleswoman in the commissary, and the 9-year-old soldier was making peace. His beloved girl Anya is fishing by the river. .
The fortress is calm, but the war is never restless.
The German army pretending to be the Russian army, wearing the uniform of the Russian army, rode a train, and set foot on the road of killing in the quietly early morning.
The way the story is told is mainly divided into three locations: the north gate, the camp and the Terespil fortress in the east. Each small position has a commander. They may be political commissars, may be captains, or some At other levels, none of this is important. The important thing is that the vocation given to soldiers by war is that when the cannon sounds, your duties will coexist and die with you.
Perhaps the war came unexpectedly, but this is also its true and cruel side. This is not an acclaim of high morale, the heroism of killing the enemy and destroying the country, nor is it a strategy of winning more with less, and twists and turns. He is a living story that is doomed to failure and all died in battle. I only watch it because I know the ending. Not worried but heartache. Because it's real.
The characters are well portrayed, especially the generals in several barracks of the Russian army. And a young Russian guy who played film movies in an army cinema. His story can arouse the pity and lament of mortals. One second, he proposed to marry his beloved her, and the next second the war broke out. He was just a simple man who had just fallen in love. He had never taken a gun or participated in the war. He was at a loss and he was only shocked. Up. When she was caught by a German officer and wanted to abuse her, he ran away. If it were in a certain country, it would definitely be another narrative method. He was in the pit, pinching the brown soil to vent his dissatisfaction with him. I believe he also struggled, but everything came too suddenly. When the deep fear comes, people can only use escape to suspend their subconsciousness. One peace. Although regret and conscience, blood and indignation will follow. Yes, once again seeing more severe bombings, more killings, and when the last dignity of being a person was deprived, and the last time he glanced at the body of his lover, he chose to end the lives of himself and a German officer.
Bravery does not come suddenly, and bravery will not be the Schindler as you and I imagined. It needs to pass a buffer period, and then the perfect combination of brain and will. So I think this short story is well arranged.
Talk about why you can't get five stars.
1. Historical facts. This battle has been fought for a year, but the film was finished in three days. There is a sense of time and space separation. I always feel that if the story is richer and thicker, the subtitles will not be 6.22, 6.23. The time like .6.34, but 6.22, 9.23, 12.24, is even more shocking.
2. There are some little heroes of myths. He can always survive. There are a lot of interspersed scenes of his wars. As the saying goes, there are some snatches.
3. Why didn't I explain more about the Russian side's response? The radio has been calling: the fortress is calling, the fortress is calling, we are still fighting, we are on defense. I believe that anyone who has watched the film will never forget this sentence. It's just why there is no reply from the Russian army headquarters. Whether we didn't receive it or didn't have the ability to send troops, the audience who didn't know about this battle and who loved to dig into details always had a question mark left in their hearts.
