I was impressed by two scenes in the movie, one is before the hero died, he saw the spinning sky and the one who was on the spiral staircase, running towards the girl he loved overlapped. Then he saw the two people in dresses, surrounded by the crowd, walking down the stairs, the bride's wedding dress, the veil flying, their faces filled with happy smiles, they kissed and hugged. Another scene is the finale. The heroine is wearing a white dress that looks like the one from the "wedding", holding flowers in her hands. She keeps walking through the crowd in front of the station. She struggles to find her lover. That scene, Like the day she sent him away. When she learned the news of her lover's death, she burst out of the crowd crying again. This was the first time she shed tears after experiencing the love of her life, including her parents, leaving one by one, and I followed her in tears. full face.

Several black-and-white films on Mr. Dai Jinhua's film list are all about war, and this is the first one with the theme of love in the war years. This is also the one that touched me the most in the whole list. I believe that when it comes out, it will be shocking and exciting to people who have experienced the trauma of war. It accuses the cruelty and meaninglessness of war, and at the end of that wonderful speech of Schipan, every word is eloquent and deafening. He said, "We will do everything in our power to make those fiancées no longer lose their fiancés; to make those mothers no longer worry about the lives of their children; to make the strong and competitive father no longer secretly cry in secret, we are victorious , we want to live, but not to destroy, but to build a new life."

The Cranes Are Flying quotes

  • [first lines]

    Boris: Wait, squirrel! Here. Put it on.

  • Fyodor Ivanovich: Stop it this minute! You're a still a soldier in the Red Army! Are you trying to get discharged? Are you afraid we'll heal your hands and send you back to the front?

    A patient in the infirmary: No, Doctor, he's not like that. He got a letter.

    Fyodor Ivanovich: I know. That's just an excuse. Big deal! So your bride ran off. You should be glad! She isn't worth a penny if she would trade a handsome guy like you, a real hero, for some rat sitting out the war at home! It's she who's forfeit her happiness, not you! And that's what she deserves. She's got a petty soul. People like her can't understand how much suffering we've gone through. You stood up to death itself. You looked death in the face. You approached it with your chest stuck out. And she couldn't even pass the little test of time. Woman like her deserve only your contempt. There can be no forgiveness for them!
