Although "The Fencer" is a Russian film directed by the great Finnish director Klaus Harlow, his films have won numerous awards, but this "The Fencer" seems mediocre, boring and out of standard. The film is adapted from real people and tells the story of the former Soviet Union. The hero used to be an Estonian fencer. He returned to Estonia from Leningrad to escape the pursuit of Stalin's investigation, and established a fencing club in a middle school. The children build deep relationships and gain their own love. But the restless heart wandering around, like a shadow, has become a haze in his heart. Once, the country held a fencing championship in Leningrad. The children were full of enthusiasm and wanted to sign up for the competition. He finally escaped from his cage and went to Leningrad without hesitation for the sake of the children and himself. In the end, he was caught in the middle of the game. In fact, it was just a political reckoning during the Stalin period. In the same year, due to Stalin's death, the hero was released again. The film is slow-paced, simple in plot, pays attention to the emotional changes of the characters, and is full of love and tolerance. I thought that there would be bad guys who were deliberately planning, but the bad guys didn't appear, and the story ended successfully. However, after this ended, the film lacked a sense of heaviness and hesitant to talk, which made the film tend to be mediocre.
