This film was at a time when energy prices were soaring and Russia's economic situation was looking good. A film that could inspire people and enhance national cohesion was needed. It also reflected that Russians miss the power of the giant empire more than 20 years ago. In terms of cost, the Russians have spent a lot of effort, and the handsome male protagonist with great talent in painting was killed at the beginning of the final battle. The only male second who survived the lucky medal, the Russian-style romance of the instructor, and the fierce company commander Huo Huo, The quality of the individual soldiers is good and high, but the Afghan rebels rely on the tactics of the sea of ​​people to charge. The final battle scene is fierce and cruel, which inspires fighting spirit. As a war movie, it is not bad. The order connected to the ninth should have been It was to evacuate that area. Because the radio station was bombed by enemy mortars during the battle, it was impossible to request support and contact with the superiors, resulting in heavy casualties and only one person left. The Soviet Union finally withdrew from Afghanistan. From a strategic point of view, the Soviet policy was a failure. However, the ninth company held the high ground tactically, which is what the second male said won his war. The surviving male second returned to the Soviet Union and disintegrated soon after returning to the Soviet Union. In other words, they were ruthlessly abandoned by the country, and the great army no longer existed. They were struggling in confusion. Before being sent to Afghanistan, Soviet soldiers were taught to resist the invasion and infiltration of Western American imperialism, in order to save them from fire and water. Afghan people, but when they got there, they gradually realized that they might be the invaders. They did not know why they fought, maybe just for the sake of their dead brothers. By reflecting on the war in Afghanistan, the Russians also missed that powerful country, reflecting that Russia at that time People want to revive the ambition of a great country, and I don't know why I like listening to the opening and ending songs. It feels desolate, depressing and vicissitudes of life. Anyone who wants this song can contact me.
