hard to wait for your return

A little record of my thoughts after watching the film, the more impressive beginning echoes the wild goose at the end. There is also the fact that when the male protagonist left as a soldier, the female protagonist was crowded into the crowd and could not find it. The ending also corresponds to the sacrifice of the male protagonist. The film is generally tragic, Soviet socialist realism, a stranger you pass by may be the belief of others. Maybe I'm thinking that the male protagonist is not expressing his love directly enough, and it is difficult for the female protagonist to stick to the bottom line in the panic. But in the final analysis, the war should be the culprit. It took away the heroine's parents and ruined her future happiness. She is just a microcosm. Thousands of wives in the world have lost their husbands and children have lost their parents. The culprit It's all war. At the end of the movie, everyone is celebrating the joy of triumph, but who can the heroine share with? This loneliness and loneliness is in sharp contrast to the cheers and excitement of the crowd. Afterwards, the heroine also tried to walk out of the shadows and give flowers to others, "If I can't give you your tenderness, I will give it to the whole world instead." The director's shooting skills are also impeccable, the combination of light and shadow, light and dark, the freeze frame of the sun shining on the side face, and the deep arrangement of the characters in the stairwell. The skillful use of montage, the superimposed association in the male protagonist's mind when he faints, and the montage and camera shake when the female protagonist runs, allows the audience to enter the scene more. At the end of the movie, there are only three words in my mind: it is difficult to calm down. Record my feelings at the moment, respect!

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!
