A good movie is what moves people

One winter night in 2014, I watched the 1959 black-and-white film "Song of the Soldiers" from the former Soviet Union. Along with Alyosha's 2-day return to his hometown, I also experienced the heartstrings of juvenile and teenage love, the love of mother, son, father and son, the weeping and blood of husband and wife, the righteousness of the comradeship of generals and soldiers, and the love of villagers. The solidarity of the neighbors.

Alyosha and Sarah are really a pair of beautiful people, pure and innocent, the eyes staring at each other during the journey, the childish understanding, the loss of separation, the faintly sad Russian accordion background music, how can one raise his eyebrows again. . .

This is an anti-war movie, an old movie, and an idol movie. It's just 90 minutes long, there are no big scenes, there are only simple emotions that touch people's hearts, the faint sadness that breaks your heart, and The childish and determined face of Alyosha, who amazes me, Sarah's innocent and deep eyes, her thick braids.

High-tech, big scenes, new concepts, we have become accustomed to these in contemporary movies, but only by hitting people's emotions can you deeply remember what a good movie is.
