Compared with the relatively simple plot, the group of characters portrayed in the film is undoubtedly more dazzling:
a couple, after shooting the bullets in their pistols, showed their determination not to be prisoners at the same time, and finally the husband used the only remaining With two bullets, he first asked his wife to visit at the window, then shot her from behind, and finally committed suicide by putting the gun to his chin.
A demoted senior officer who has experienced two wars, who first realized the imminent crisis of life and death by virtue of his experience and intuition, bravely stood up at the critical moment when the war broke out and his comrades fled, and took the position of the temporary commander. Form a strong fighting unit until it runs out of ammunition.
A fat lieutenant with an optimistic nature. He looks like a big man, but he is very alert. He led his troops into battle as soon as possible. At the most tense juncture of the battlefield, he cooperated tacitly with his comrades and saw through and killed the infiltrating German spy. When his combat unit was almost exhausted, he improvised the dance he had rehearsed a few days ago to cheer his comrades up, and finally died in a sitting position on the battlefield with his eyes wide open.
An Israeli regiment political commissar took the initiative to provoke the lead of the commander-in-chief in the chaotic battle, quickly organized the officers and soldiers, and commanded in an orderly manner. At the critical juncture when the cunning German army used the wounded and sick as cannon fodder to forcibly attack, he was calm and witty, alone. In the face of the enemy's formation, he turned the danger into a safe one, and disintegrated the enemy's attempt. Even if he ran out of ammunition and food, he never wavered his will to resist.
A pair of teenage brothers, the older brother used the only gun to destroy two German tanks in succession, saving the resistance forces from extinction, and was finally killed by the artillery fire of the third German tank. The younger brother is just a trumpet soldier, but he has repeatedly fought, shuttled back and forth in the chaotic artillery fire, passed information, transported water, and finally became a survivor of the war. This pair of brothers undoubtedly has strong symbolic meanings, one represents the ideal of wishing the Soviet Union to be stronger, and the other represents the immortal genes of the Soviet nation.
All these ordinary Soviet people, at the juncture of the invasion of the powerful enemy, the disparity of strength, and the danger of the country's fortune, rose up to fight one by one, and died in battle one after another. There is almost no preaching of doctrine and spirit in the film, but there is such a detail: the German army used loudspeakers to persuade surrender, saying that we have no intention to conquer you, but to rescue you from the totalitarian rule and collective farms. In this regard, a Soviet army officer told his comrades that they wanted us to live a humiliating life. This seemingly ordinary sentence is the soul of this movie. Unwilling to yield is the eternal gene of the Russian nation.
Not long ago, I read Mr. Zi Zhongyun's self-selected collection. One of the long essays recalled the humiliation suffered by Mr. Gu Weijun, a diplomat of the Republic of China, at the Dumbarton Oaks Conference in 1944. After reading it, I couldn't help but take a long time. China nominally ranks among the four major allies, but when discussing post-war arrangements, the SULIAN representative firmly disagreed with China (S Dalin believed that neither China nor France were eligible). The host United States devised several workarounds, all of which were ultimately rejected by SULIAN. Reading it, anger is mixed with incomprehension. After watching this film, it seems that there is an additional angle of understanding. Compared with the Soviets who would rather die than give in, tit for tat, and finally conquer their opponents, GMD China's performance in the entire World War II was really bad. First, it was too ineffective, and then it was too passive to avoid war, too bloodless, and too incapable of reassuring its allies. SULIAN people apparently think it is a great insult to sit at a conference table with such a so-called "victorious country" to discuss the future of the world.
Recently, a friend familiar with the military said that the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea was, to put it bluntly, a letter of vote presented by Mao Zedong to S Dalin. Combined with my own reading of history, I especially agree with this unique analysis and judgment. On the stage of the last two hundred years of world war, no nation has the confidence of Russia. The three most ferocious nations in the world, France, Germany, and Japan, have all caused great pain to Russia, but without exception, they have all become the defeat of Russia in the end. Especially in the Pacific battlefield in the late World War II, the exhausted British and American coalition forces could not fight anymore, and had to repeatedly request SULIAN to fight against the sunrise. After getting enough energy and setting up the spectrum, the SULIAN Red Army swept the Japanese Kwantung Army like the autumn wind swept away the leaves of the Chinese army. The balance of forces in the battle changed immediately and fundamentally, and finally Japan was doomed to defeat the outcome. A nation that relies on fists and will to build its prestige and status, has no need to hide the contempt in its bones to another famous nation whose foreign war transcripts are basically red flags. In the face of America's strong intervention in the Korean War, SULIAN said to China, I don't fight anyway, and I can't support you in order to avoid suspicion. There is something you can fight yourself. Fortunately, there was Mao Zedong, a Chinese German in China at that time. Millions of Chinese soldiers defended the national dignity with huge sacrifices, and finally won the trust of SULIAN, and later, the most valuable support in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China.
Writer Ye Zhaoyan visited Russia in his early years and chatted with a Soviet old aunt about World War II. The old aunt said that we killed 20 million people. China also lost 20 million people, Ye said. The old aunt immediately said seriously: 20 million of us were killed in battle, and most of you were slaughtered. The words of an ordinary old aunt deeply hurt our writer. It is a pity that such rational reflection and sharp pursuit are more or less suppressed, and are not welcomed by the forgetful Chinese people. In the recently aired "Zhen Huan", the language style of Dream of Red Mansions is indeed refreshing, but it is said that the details and skills of court infighting are the most talked about by audiences, and even some audiences regard it as a career promotion book. Indeed, when it comes to internal struggles, the Chinese nation has a long history; when it comes to foreign wars, apart from the contemporary resistance to US aggression and aid Korea, only the Han Wudi defeated the Xiongnu nearly two thousand years ago. What is even more frightening is that the business with the old and the United States has been going well in the past few decades, and even the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea is reluctant to mention it, until the younger generation who has a serious lack of background knowledge has questioned: sacrificing millions of soldiers and soldiers to help a small hooligan fight a big one. Rogue, is it worth it?
"Animal World" has already explained all the truths of human history in history. Saying one thousand, saying ten thousand, can't fight, dare not fight, can't win, no matter how big the volume, no matter how bright the appearance, no matter how good the feeling is, it is nothing but fish on top of the knife. Russia's national strength is declining, so that it has to rely on selling resources to protect itself, but the fierce people from all over the world still have to maintain awe of it; on the other hand, China's economy is booming and has become the locomotive of the world, but not only the old Western powers, but even small countries in Southeast Asia Dare to shake your fists and fangs at you from time to time. What is the reason? In a word, in the war record book, the score disparity between the two major powers is too great, one can be called the world championship champion, and the other is just a joke that others often use to make fun of. Victory will be won by martial arts, and death will be lost if you forget to fight. Let history tell the future. Will there be another so-called golden opportunity period for China's development?
