And Russia is rich in war movies, and this work is also a more famous work in Russia in recent years.
Unexpectedly, after watching it all the way, it turned into a bad feeling of "when will it end".
I think the biggest problem with the film is that the narrative lacks a main thread.
Whether it is a person or an event, the description is too scattered.
In a big scene like a war,
if there is a lack of pivotal characters and main conflicts, the portrayal of the characters' plots will be too superficial,
making it difficult to leave a deep impression.
This is mainly because, in a war environment,
the characters are generally dressed in the same way, with more movements and fewer close-ups.
Often several characters complete a task together, and individual differences are minimized. In this work, except for the special profession of "painter", there are few characters that
make a deep impression on people. (In the end, it is necessary to confirm the protagonist through who is dead and who is not dead ~ 囧) In addition, regarding the plot, the first half of the film can be said to have nothing to do with the "Ninth Commando". The training of the recruits is the same as in other works of war, nothing new. And this training has continued until the work is nearly halfway, which is too procrastinating. After the real life of the "Ninth Commando" began, the plot became more and more loose. The sudden welcome ceremony, the sudden search for the village, the sudden ambush, the sudden final battle... The lack of major conflicts and contradictions can be said to be a flaw in this film. Relatively speaking, in war movies, the plots are well done, such as "Saving Private Ryan", the main line is very clear from the beginning. Characters are more brilliant, such as "Twelve King Kong".
The final battle at the end seems to be tragic, but in fact it is nonsensical and dominates.
This is about the most ridiculous war scene I've ever seen.
Not to mention the tenacious vitality of the protagonists like cockroaches,
the enemy army that came from the flood and disappeared in an instant is really disappointing.
In addition, the framing of the film is very beautiful, and the background music is magnificent.
As a matter of fact, this is an advantage, but it has no direct connection with the characters and the narrative of the plot.
On the contrary, it makes people feel a little awkward and inconsistent.
