Lessons and warnings carved in the bones

If it is not an anti-war Russian war film, or a cunning Russian version of saving Private Ryan, I am afraid the old milkman will have to send me to the cruel battlefield for fun ! This is more like a fable of falling into a rabbit hole, or a nightmare after opening a Pandora cartridge, but everything feels so real, that real scene of artillery and bullets coming leisurely, If the four people in the film are allowed to choose one more time, I am afraid that they will never dig the medals of the dead to earn the silver of the living, and they will never be dizzy with fake vodka again, and they will never be as cool as a mirror again. Swimming in lake water, never again having a swastika tattooed on his arm to act as a big skinhead, never again dragging his long hair on the street, swearing and scolding, never again entertaining with overly exciting war games My numb senses, I'll never look like I'm invincible, flirting around with girls, never--maybe never, a game, a dream, what's left of the time and space journey--carved in my bones Lessons and warnings! When the tragic scene of artillery fire rumbled all over the corpse, the shells that hit the ground and the human body were indistinguishable, and the bullets that hit the ground and the human body did not feel like death. Whether it was the German army or the Russian army, it was just as tragic and tragic. Cry, the same corpse and blood kiss the same earth, the earth where the bones of warriors are buried and rested! In reality, it has become a playground for materialistic people to make huge profits!

It is undeniable that the cunning screenwriter and the clever director are as creative, reflective and evocative as the 81st Oscar-swept film "Slumdog Millionaire". It's just that Andre [the director of this film] played more closely to the living conditions of the younger generation, playing more artillery, more intense and exciting. Instead, he deeply concealed the connotation of the theme to be expressed in the long-lost era of war and chaos. A few brief and negligible pronouns: the old lady delivering the milk, the sparkling silver cigarette case and the calm quivering lake water are used as props for threading the needle in this film, although they do not have the huge power contained in "Mystic River", However, the god who likes to play games perverted and threw the four disoriented youths into the bottomless rabbit hole mercilessly in the way of games. A few years later, only four unnamed skeletons were discovered, their heads hung on dry branches, and people were used as targets for fun. What a ruthless, poignant irony! Tomb robbers dug up their own bones and hung their heads on branches as gun targets! God's jokes are all tragic, but this time it turned into a comedy, only this time they showed kindness and used their own methods to save the lives and souls of four ignorant dudes.

The war scenes that travel through time and space in the film account for four-fifths of the film. Maybe they are tired of the blood and blood of war and deliberately add a warm and touching love scene, but they are an indispensable condiment. The information conveyed by the lifelike eyes of the sanitation staff is far more important than the weight of her performance of the duties of the sanitation staff regardless of her life and death on the battlefield. When the gentle and tender singing passed through time and space and stayed in Berman's ears forever, her eyes revealed The longing for a happy life and the early end of the war are feelings that Berman could not understand anyway. It is a kind of expectation and longing that is more boiling than patriotic blood. Dreams and beggings are exactly the same as Tuas's feelings when he sacrificed his life to stop the German army before his death and asked when the Berman war would end. He or she is not more concerned about who the victor of the war is than the leaders of the two countries. In an environment where cannonballs can stun people, no matter who wins, no matter whose cannonballs can stop attacking, when life does not disappear silently, when cannonballs do not stir up waves on the ground, when pistols and bullets are cursed, When the tanks and bombers hide in hell, maybe everything will become beautiful and happy, but the director's final intention stops there:

When the surface of people's life in reality tends to be calm and peaceful, under the surface, I mean under the surface, just like the surface of a calm lake, but there is another world buried, a world where material desires are like gunfire, interests are like bullets and money. In a war-torn world like tanks and bombers, in such a prosperous and foul-smelling world on the surface, like a world filled with war on the other side of space and time, in front of the blood and the shroud, what are justice and evil, stained with blood The shroud and the icy corpse sleeping with bullets, do you still care about the military exploits and identity represented by the glorious heroic medal, whether the arrogant skinhead will still shout long live Hitler or long live Stalin in the prosperous Red Square of Moscow. Shit slogan? Everything is just a deformed body enslaved under certain interests, whether it is war or the seemingly beautiful real life before us, if the soldiers participating in the war, whether it is the German army or the Russian army, will hope that the cruel war will end as soon as possible. The seemingly beautiful real-life enslaved skinheads, the top students who gave up the history department, the eye-catching boy who loves game pick-up girls, and the cool-headed hedgehog boy don't want their war to end sooner?

When the war machine that destroys the flesh is getting farther and farther from our real life, the "interested Nazi party" of the betrayed soul uses larger-scale and more sophisticated tactics to silently stir up gunfire with everyone's heart as the battlefield When their war was ended by a larger interest group, it was also the beginning of another larger group war! It's just that these four people escaped by chance, escaped the clutches of the "ten thousand" sign, escaped the nightmare of digging bones, escaped the temptation of war games, escaped idle play, and lost their way in the fog. , God throws down a compass like a rabbit hole, opens and closes the nightmarish Pandora's box, when the big dream wakes up and the fog clears, everything has just begun!
