Director Fat Dragon recommended me to watch it. At that time, the saliva splashed all over the place, and he had a tendency to accuse me of being outdated, and he used his trump card: "Do you like Bondarchuk? This is directed by his son, Little Bondarchuk!" I I like Bondarchuk, and I have watched his films since I was a child, "War and Peace" (how many times better than the American version?), "Waterloo" (the greatest war film in the history of human films!) No one can imitate Qiu's style ~

Long Dao added, Xiao Bang is not a dry eater, a tiger father has no dog son, so nonsense! How difficult is this? Like my family, the dog father also has tiger sons. That's called ability, hoho... Xiaobang's

"The 9th Commando", the story is about what happened to a detachment of soldiers in the year of the withdrawal of troops from the Afghan war. I was stunned when I saw it! ! ! This is the Russian version of "Full Metal Jacket"? ? The length of the film is very close, and the content of the previous military training accounts for nearly half. It is also the same as the structure of "Metal", but its dark and tragic is not as profound as that of "Metal", and it is also superficial when it is blinded by blind patriotic enthusiasm. Now, the abnormal result of the instructor turned into a tenderness that makes people feel disgusting, and the soldiers are blurred, and there is no unique personality for you to remember.

After arriving on the battlefield, it is also very similar, including the child with a gun. These are all in "Metal". The village battle is a remake of the street battle in "Metal", and the whole film is remade. What's the point? The language of the film is even more irritating. The camera editing is very American blockbuster, completely lacking the oil painting skills and poetic montage of Soviet films, pursuing the so-called documentary sense, such things as "Private Ryan" and "Band of Brothers" include "Wind". The Whisperer is full of them! The value of the former Soviet Union movies is that the Americans sighed that they couldn't make them after watching them. Xiao Bang is very good. I just want to prove that you Americans can make them. I will also make them.

I am very disappointed with the recommendation of the director. This is the film that won the first box office in Russia. Once again, it shows that the first box office is the beginning of the fall. Cameron, how outstanding was "Alien 2", and then "Titan" Nick, what rubbish? ? ? The Soviet film's lead in the art of film was originally very obvious. Just like Gagarin can be an idol with strong arms, now there is no political pressure. Instead, the original implicit and fiery emotions have been lost. Fun under restrictions, Cui Jian is also a good example. Things were good when they were banned, but now... and Zhang Ke, too. That's why artists from socialist countries are cheap. If they give you a little freedom, they don't know what to do. They're like flies.

The last subtitle of the film "In Memory of My Dad" almost made me cry! Xiaobang, stop destroying your father, okay? He's an unparalleled hero

9th Company quotes

  • [from trailer]

    Hohol: This is war! They don't put low grades here! They kill!

  • Lyutyy: We were leaving Afghanistan. We, the 9th company, we won our war. Back then we didn't know many things. We didn't know that, two years later, the country we had fought for would vanish. That wearing medals of a nonexistent country would become unfashionable.
