My beginning was a bit soiled, but that was the only feeling I had after watching this film. At first, I planned to go to see Jin Yiwei, but the movie theater was closed. I chose to come and go, and I chose "Lost in the Ancient Tomb". At first I thought it was a tomb adventure film similar to Raiders of the Lost Ark, but after reading it, I found that it was a feature film with a little educational nature.
It tells about the bad boys on the streets of Moscow in the 21st century who blindly worship Nazis and even take pride in having Nazi badges. Some are angry young singers who think they are patriotic, and there are game boys who bully the soft and fear the hard, and tomb robbers. Starting with this, 4 characters Treasure hunts by different boys ••••••
Four representative problem boys are metaphors for the current situation on the streets of Russia in the 21st century and the worrying situation for teenagers in many countries. They who have never experienced war, and who were born in peaceful times, only read war in textbooks and on TV, and have never experienced the disaster caused by war. For them, the peaceful times when thousands of lives are piled up are not even as "cool" as the Nazi swastika.
And the director used his method to let young people re-experience the horror of war. The old woman the four boys met by chance, the old woman brought milk, and they asked how much the old woman had to pay for the milk. I think this is a metaphor for the concept of money first. The old woman seemed confused, but she was very persistent. She knew that these four teenagers were here to dig the ruins. She hoped that the four teenagers could help her find the remains of his son in the ruins or find the inlay his grandfather gave him. Wearing a ruby cigarette case, they were mocked by the four boys, and in the eyes of the old woman full of metaphors, they started a journey of "travelling". First, I dug up the former Soviet Union certificate printed with my photo in the ruins, and then I crossed to the battlefield in 1942 in the nearby lake, and I crossed in the lake where the gunfire was full of embarrassment. They have experienced death, fear, doubt, sacrifice, captivity, love, friendship, and battle. From the initial fear and timidity, they eventually became a member of the charge on the battlefield. After all, they have never experienced war, and the director kept the image of timidity and fear of death for them, but made their image more full in the end.
They were once troubled teenagers who squinted at each other, but on the battlefield, they experienced things they couldn't learn in peacetime. The kind of spirit that can be born and die for the country, thinking about life. I still remember that in order to cover their departure, the colonel held the hero's hand at the last moment and asked: Did we finally win? When? After listening to the protagonist's answer, he smiled, drove away the children from the 21st century, covered their escape by himself, and finally sacrificed. But his spirit of sacrifice for the peace of the country and the lives of the people is impressive. There is also the old woman's son, who appears in the second half of the film. He was captured. When it heard the angry youth say that the streets of the 21st century are full of bald men who worship Nazis, he struggled hard, grabbed the angry youth's neck, and said firmly with his eyes: There is still justice and evil in the world, and justice is Justice, our war is just. His firmness convinced everyone. This was the unswerving belief of the Soviet men at that time, and it did bring incomparable happiness to the post-war peace.
Writing here, more pictures appeared in front of my eyes one by one, including the love in this war, which seemed to make people stunned. In the end, they could not change history. The gears of history allowed them to experience the baptism of war. Let them leave quietly, without changing one bit. The war was over, they returned to reality, and when they saw the skinheads still on the streets, they felt like a lifetime away. It seems that they are isolated from the world, but they have experienced it and understood it. It is not them who need to change, but the change has to go through their hands. The ending is very meaningful. The four young people who survived the vicissitudes of life looked at the confused streets of Moscow in the 21st century with their vicissitudes of life. This should mean change.
The director of the film is Boris Galkin, a lieutenant and president of the Russian Film Association in 2005-2008. I was impressed by what he said when the film came to China: "China and Russia have very similar historical backgrounds, I hope that both young audiences and audiences of a certain age can see this film, we must not forget Who we are and what our ancestors did for us." We really shouldn't forget who we are and our lives that our ancestors built for us with their lives.
I still recommend everyone to go to the cinema to watch this movie~ it is worth watching.
