After watching this film, I was so shocked that I couldn't calm down for a long time. There are the most pure feelings in the world, whether it is family, love, or friendship. If the war years are endless winter nights, then the simple and kind-hearted people's hearts are the fuelwood that burns in these long nights.
The protagonist of the story, Alyosha, defeated two tanks with his own strength, so as to get a vacation opportunity to go home to visit his mother and repair the roof for his mother. And this is also thanks to the understanding and support of the officers and comrades. In those turbulent times, going home has become an extravagant hope in the hearts of every soldier. Alyosha has this opportunity, and everyone is happy and proud of him.
On the way before his departure, Alyosha was entrusted by his comrade Sergei to bring peace to his wife at home. He even got soap from the captain at the prayers of his comrades. Some two bars of soap are sent out. It is not so much the heart of one person, but the heart of all comrades-in-arms, who are also thinking about their distant home. Every comrade-in-arms is heart-to-heart, and the intimacy is not separated from each other, so in this case, even if one of them has the opportunity to say goodbye to his family, it makes them feel that they have also conveyed their feelings to their distant hometown.
On the way, Alyosha helped a soldier who was disabled due to the war and returned home. The soldier explained that the relationship between himself and his wife was not harmonious. Escape, choose not to return home, wander around the world. And the fact is as the passer-by woman who scolded him said, no matter when, his wife is waiting for him to go back. When his wife ran to him and saw him returning safely, they hugged each other tightly, and if there was any discord between them, it was written off. The passerby woman was probably also waiting for her relatives and lovers, waiting for him to return to her side. In such an era, I can still survive and return to my side safely, so I am content.
In addition to this warm love story, the film also shows another truth about love. When Alyosha handed the token to Sergey's wife, he found that she had already betrayed the relationship, her heart had already flown away, and the love between them was like the bubbles blown by the children in the film, and was blown away by time. It shatters at the touch of a distance. His wife felt ashamed, but struggled with whether to continue expiring Sergey with a lie of indistinguishable good from evil.
But when Alyosha angrily handed over the token to his family who really cared about Sergey, he comforted his family with real white lies, and also promised to cover up the sickness of his family members and believe in peace for his family. Take it to Sergey. The contrast between the front and back scenes of the white lies is clear, and it is even more amazing how great family love is.
The film's reflection of human nature is realistic and moving. When Alyosha stepped on the train that took him home, the trainman he met was a greedy man. He helped Alyosha on the premise that he was profitable, but in his eyes, dignity was not worth it in front of profit. It's just a tool in exchange for more benefits. They live like rat ants, and in front of such people, kind-hearted people are as terrifying as beasts. So, when Alyosha and Shula actually met the lieutenant, they realized that the lieutenant was a really good man with a solid heart, and he respected heroes like all dignified people. Under his strict discipline, the greedy train crew was also punished as he deserved.
The mutual care from strangers also includes the passers-by who were reluctant at first and finally decided to stop downloading Alyosha to go home at the end of the film. The film exudes warm care between people, even among strangers, there is enthusiasm to lend a helping hand. This is probably one of the things that fascinates me about the Red Revolution.
Speaking of this, it is just the details of the film to express the feelings. It is to look at the characters in this world through Alyosha, and each one of them evokes their fresh vitality.
The encounter between Alyosha and Shula, although it started as a misunderstanding, broke out in a short period of time with the purest feeling in the world that I could perceive. Alyosha's kindness and sincerity, Shula's beauty and tenderness, after they met, the pure and pure love they had had flowed like a river in their eyes looking at each other. Needless to say, just look at it and you can see it. Regrettably, in the end, the two did not have the opportunity to communicate with each other. But I believe that in another peaceful era when the sun is tightly wrapped, where the flowers are in full bloom, they will embrace each other tightly and finally say the unspoken "I love you."
Alyosha finally saw his mother, whom he had reunited with after a long absence, but he could only hug each other in a hurry, and then they were greeted by another farewell. Alyosha, a soldier whose mother knew nothing about his life; a Soviet soldier who was ordinary in the eyes of others, a child whose mother waited day and night but never returned. Despite this, the mother will still wait like this, even if the phrase "I will definitely come back!" has long been blurred in my mind, but waiting has become a kind of habit.
In those turbulent times, every side could be the last. Under the fire of war, such soldiers can die in the hundreds or thousands a day. They are the number of casualties when counting the number of casualties. They are also the children whose parents are looking forward to returning home, the husbands that wives look forward to, and the fathers that children look forward to. They were fortunate enough to leave their names and tombstones, they were offered flowers and commemorated, and they didn't even have the chance to wrap their bodies in horse leather, so they were buried in a heap of thousands of people in such a hurry, and even their names were not left behind. The stories of their lives, With their sincerity and sincerity, they were buried together under the green hills.
As it says in the ending: he might become a great man, a builder, a gardener. But what will always remain in people's memory is only a nineteen-year-old ordinary Russian soldier.
Lamenting the difficulty of peace, we should cherish the peace that martyrs exchanged with their lives. Cherish the moment and don't forget those years.
