A touching movie, in the era of black and white films, such a movie can be called a classic, with both the poetic scenes of "Yan Nanfei" and a touching plot.
In the story, Alyosha is a 19-year-old signal soldier who was allowed a vacation by the general for destroying two enemy tanks. He went back to visit his mother, helped the one-legged soldier on the way, and met a man named Shu. The girl who was pulled later returned to her hometown, but when she got to her hometown, the holiday was over. He only met his mother for more than 10 minutes before leaving for the front line, but who knows, this is actually a goodbye... This movie is still a good one to this day. The director made the cruelty of war, The darkness of human nature is vividly expressed. Without war, soldiers would not be without legs, the wives of frontline soldiers would not be the mistresses of others, Alyosha would not leave Shura, and the mother would not lose her son. And the last dialogue between mother and son is chilling:
"You have a beard? Alyosha."

"Yes, mother."

"You smoke too? Alyosha".

"I'm sorry, mother, I have to go."

"Alyosha, you will come back. I didn't wait for your father to come back. I must wait for you to come back."

"Yes, mother, I will come back.

" The ten-minute meeting was not only the reunion of mother and son, but also the farewell of relatives, which pinned the thoughts of all frontline soldiers to their relatives in the rear. During this less than ten minutes of meeting, many villagers came to ask Alyosha when the war was over, to know that their relatives were still on the front lines, their fathers, husbands, and sons were still fighting bloody battles, and many people gave their own blood. Russia is a nation that advocates force, but it can be seen from the inquiries of the villagers that even if it is a nation that advocates force, their people still hope for peace. "Alyosha" is a very common Russian name. In some respects, the name "Alyosha" represents the many Soviet soldiers who sacrificed their lives for the victory of World War II and shed their blood for peace. Most of them It is a person of the same age as Alyosha in the film. Here, we have every reason to pay tribute to the "Alyoshas" who sacrificed their lives for peace!

    8/10. The new wave of the Soviet Union simply and clearly shows that the image of ordinary people under the test of war will shine for a long time. The opening of the film shows a close-up of the enemy tank rolling over the ground from the mother's eyes staring into the distance. The camera is shot backwards when the tank is chasing the tiny Alyosha To set off the soldier's psychological experience of escaping, when Alyosha raised his head in front of the crater's artillery to fight back, a young face who had experienced the baptism of war appeared for the first time. When Alyosha visited his wife who had betrayed her husband on the front line, he did not even leave any soap, and angrily left the luxurious apartment equipped with piano and tea set. After his wife’s helpless expression and the soap bubbles blown by the children on the stairs shattered, the Soviets were loyal to him. The noble quality of love was destroyed by the war years. The real move came to the end. The scene of Alyoshata car looking for her mother and her mother running across the field was very dynamic. The horn of the truck made her mother hug Alyosha and wrapped her black headscarf around her. , An unspeakable melancholy. The description of the enlightenment of eroticism is very subtle, like a hug hiding in a car in a straw pile, and the overlay shot is pulled up to Shula's upper body with the cleaned feet, expressing tender emotions.
