"The Barber of Siberia" is a name full of rustic and rough style, but it tells a sadistic love story of a charming woman and an innocent man. Amorous feelings, innocence, sadomasochism, are the necessary elements of the golden bloody drama. If only these, this film will not be remembered in film history. Pure sadomasochism is a romantic tragicomedy. The film can be roughly divided into two parts, based on Andre's confession through the principal's general proposal poem. The first part is the ignorant Andre's encounter with the courtesan Jane on the train and fell in love at first sight. This part focuses on cultural conflicts and personality conflicts, and creates comedy points through various conflicts formed by dislocations, making the audience laugh and witness the feelings of Andre and General Principal towards Jane. The comedy point of the film is not reflected by the homophony of language (otherwise we will not understand it), nor by cultural stalks, but by the plot, action, etc., which are dissolved in the plot and full of life, so there is no sense of disobedience, and it also seems Joy is very high. The second half is that Andre and Jane can't be together in the end, which is also caused by their personalities and cultural differences. How happy in the front, how sad in the back. Their love tragedy clung to the hearts of viewers. Similarly, the friendship between Andre and their classmates is also very touching. For example, the scene of farewell at the train station is hard to be forgotten by anyone who has seen it. The depth of emotion is one of the success factors of the film. The cultural background makes the main theme of the film. Although this is a love story, the director wants to show the greatness of Russia, the bravery and integrity of the Russians and their former glory. During the viewing process, we are often infected by the pride shown by the director. In the film, the male protagonist An Andrei is versatile, loyal and pure, and dares to think and act, symbolizing the Russian people. The heroine, Jane, is romantic and eloquent, but in the end she is conquered by the true feelings of the hero. The two supporting roles, an American officer and a Russian officer, are both ignorant and ignorant of art. But the American officers are arrogant and rude, trying to suppress them with force and authority; the Russian officers are arty, but they are full of respect for art. The two different attitudes also reflect the director's evaluation and disdain for American culture. Details like this are still set in many places in the film. Therefore, the comparative evaluation of culture is the second factor of the film. The grand scene highlights the magnificence of Russia. At the beginning of the film, a train runs through the mixed coniferous and broad-leaved forest. After that, the splendor of the military academy, the majesty of the military parade, the icy and snowy suburbs, the vastness of Siberia... These magnificent scenes, the director pays attention to the light. , The shooting is exquisite, the picture is exquisite, and the magnificence of Russia is artistically displayed, which also makes the world of the film open and charming. In such a background, the characters' stories have a vivid and thick chassis, so they appear to have weight. The appreciation of the picture is also another fun that we can get from watching the movie. Superb skills to enhance the artistic sense of the film. As a famous Russian director, Mikhalkov made an extraordinary move. The ingenuity of the film can be seen everywhere. For example, the title of the film is quite particular. It is not only the later identity of the male protagonist, but also the machine that connects the stories, and it also implies an evaluation of the female protagonist. Another example is the scene where the hero and heroine finally broke the relationship. It took a few minutes to complete in the play. Among them, the scene of the heroine undressing and undressing is represented by side description, which shows that the director's narrative technique is very imaginative and expressive. Those who have studied the language of the lens can experience many subtleties from the film. Having said so much, it is actually just a sentence. This is a film worthy of rich layers and strong viewing. I believe that different audiences can get what they want from it.
