The cruel scenes of blood and flesh are the people and things that Alyosha encountered on his way home in the next two days. The film is to show these ordinary people and show them through Alyosha and these people and things. ideas and aspirations, their character and disposition. That group of soldiers on the march saw Alyosha's jeep stuck in the mud, and without hesitation, they went to help push the car out of the mud. Alyosha brought a letter to his wife, and his comrade-in-arms asked the chief to bring the two soaps that everyone had; When he got home, he was determined to go back after being scolded by the female telegrapher at the post office. His wife, seeing that her husband had lost a leg, had no intention of disapproving, but went back home with her husband; The wife of the soldier who brought the letter was at fault, but earnestly asked Alyosha not to tell her husband the truth, and the father repeatedly asked Alyosha to tell his son to be at ease ahead and not to worry about home; the soldiers who were on the line Radical and optimistic, full of friendship and friendship, he regarded it as a matter of course to go to the front line; the driver refused at first, then left and returned to send Alyosha to his own village; those men worked hard in the fields because they were all on the front line. The women heard that Alyosha came back to visit his mother, and they were very excited; Alyosha's mother wished her son could stay with her for a while, or she understood the truth and let her son go back to the army; and the pure girl Shula went from being afraid of Alyosha to sympathetic and understanding, to really falling in love with Alyosha, and he always thought of him in everything; even the soldier guarding the military vehicle had only flaws. All these people were ordinary people. That is, they constituted the Soviets during the Great Patriotic War. They did not have rhetoric or earth-shattering behavior. What they longed for was a peaceful home, sweet family, they wanted labor, they wanted peace, they did not want war, but when The war was imposed on them, and they also went to the front line for the sake of their country, for their homeland, and for their loved ones, and they did not hesitate to sacrifice. Alyosha is the most admired character in the film, unpretentious and kind-hearted. When he saw the German tanks approaching, he was afraid of running for his life, and accidentally destroyed two German tanks with anti-tank grenades. However, he told the truth in front of his superior and did not brag. He only asked to go home to visit his mother and repair the roof for her; On the way, he helped the weak and the needy. For this reason, he repeatedly delayed the trip. In the end, when he saw his mother, he could only let his mother hold him in his arms for a minute, but he had no complaints and no regrets, as always. What a lovely and respectable young man he is. During the Second World War, were there people and things like this in other countries such as the United States? There are similar people, but such a thing, at the time, only existed in Russia. However, the film does not emphasize this point. What he wants to emphasize is: being a man is to help the weak and help those in need anytime, anywhere. What spirit is this? This is the spirit of humanism. That's how the film shines with humanitarianism.

    When I asked my dad what he wanted to see, he said he only wanted to watch the war, so I picked this one, and after watching it for half an hour, he silently went to wash and sleep...My mother glanced at the side and said that the Soviet girl is so beautiful. But I want to say that the guy in the Soviet uniform is really fucking handsome! When I saw the end, I ran away in tears. It took a lot of hardships before I got home. I can only meet my mother for a few minutes. As for me, I only know the annoyance when I come back. It's really conscience!
