Yan Nanfei appears once at the beginning and end of the film. ①The wild geese fly south to a warm place. The first time they appear is the longing and yearning of the men and women in love for life, and it is a symbol of the bright future of the subjective personal world; the reappearance at the end of the film is the sublimation of the spirit of the woman. , personal grief melted after the victory of the war, a symbol of a better future for Soviet collective society. ②The ticking of the clock also appears repeatedly. The clock is an objective bystander, it is precise and precise, and at times overly ruthless. Nor can the grief of the loss of a loved one reverse it. After the fascist bombing, the house was in ruins, and there was no furniture and equipment that carried family affection. Only the clock was still ticking stubbornly and ruthlessly. This clock occupies nearly one-third of the picture, showing the cruelty of the objective historical process and the sense of insignificance and powerlessness of human beings in front of it. ③The subjective perspective of Boris in the film is the woods that rotates with his body; Boris's subjective consciousness, running up the spiral staircase and marrying Veronica; the floating wedding dress is enlarged in part, giving the entire lens a hazy poetic feeling. From the association to the superimposition, the connection is quite natural, until Boris completely fell to the ground and delicately reproduced the rich psychology of a soldier before the temporary: memories and longings are intertwined. There are a lot of details in the movie that are worth thinking about, and also make people cry and move. It also brings out the cruelty of the war, which makes the people lose their loved ones' homes, but also inspires the lonely people to move forward with a sense of faith.

    A product of a particular period, symbolism has transcended practical value. It can be clearly seen that the creations of the thaw period still have a strong taste of traditional socialist realism: typical character settings, strong dramatic conflicts, and not a few moral teachings. The film is blunt in its connection, and it may be suitable for stage performance. A few shots are very modern and quite avant-garde.

    It's so comfortable to shoot, silly, but real and moving. Why don't those domestic romance films that shout I love you to the sea don't learn. The choreographer is very good at designing some scenes or bridges that help to express emotions, but also make the protagonist fall into the inner dilemma, such as the bombing of the piano room, the director's remarks about the heartless in the hospital, the reunion station looking for Boris, etc. , these ideas have raised the overall style of the film to a higher level

The Cranes Are Flying quotes

  • Stepan: Dear mother, father, sisters and brothers! The happiness of our reunion is immeasurable. The heart of every Soviet citizen is filled with joy. Joy sings in our hearts. It is victory that has brought us this joy. We have all waited for this moment. But we shall not forget those left behind on the battlefield. Time will pass. Towns and villages will be rebuilt. Our wounds will heal. But our fierce hatred of war will never diminish. We share the grief of those who cannot meet their loved ones today, and we will do everything to insure that sweethearts are never again parted by war, that mothers need never again fear for their children's lives, that fathers need never again choke back hidden tears. We have won, and we shall live not to destroy, but to build a new life!
