The Soviet film with the background of the war in Afghanistan, for more than 130 minutes, the heart is heavy and the tears are blurred. The young soldiers from Siberia to Tashkent to Afghanistan used their spiritual beliefs and lives to occupy the high ground for the motherland they love. When the golden teeth stood on the high ground of victory and shouted that they could pass, they did not know that the organization had long forgotten them. Just as the war in Afghanistan was a pointless war, the victory they bought with their flesh and blood was nothing but a pointless fight. The captain comrade in Tashkent had a patriotic dream of fighting, but was repeatedly refused to go to Afghanistan, and finally died of a stroke in Tashkent. This scene in the film is the most shocking. The rough man in the wilderness can only feel infinite sadness in the sea of ​​flowers. Snow White went from an objectified woman who met the physical needs of young soldiers to being called a princess of the sea, standing naked among men like a lonely and desolate but beautiful flower. The mountains in Afghanistan stretch, and at a glance, it is layer upon layer of mountains, and gaining the high ground is a victory, and they have won their own war. The old Golden Teeth sat on the tank, surrounded by a group of young recruits. No one remembered their group, but he knew that in the end, they won that war. Although two years later, the country they fought for is also gone. Heart is moved.

    I don't like this kind of dragging rhythm, but unlike Laomei's film, this film is very real and lifelike, but it's too much of this kind of reality and life to feel trivial.

9th Company quotes

  • Lyutyy: We were leaving Afghanistan. We, the 9th company, we won our war. Back then we didn't know many things. We didn't know that, two years later, the country we had fought for would vanish. That wearing medals of a nonexistent country would become unfashionable.
