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.

    Take a look at Alyosha's life resume: 1 person killed 2 German tanks and became a hero of the Soviet army. The general gave special permission to return to his hometown to visit relatives. He helped others along the way. The Soviet version of Lei Feng, strictly speaking, Lei Feng is more like the reincarnation of Alyosha! Another feature of this film is that it not only talks about politics, but also attaches importance to people's lives and emotions; while the national film of the same period is completely about politics.

    The time of boys and girls on the train is really beautiful, beautiful like youth, clear and fragile, beautiful like first love, fleeting, this film can be compared with Mikhail Kalatozov's 1957 Palme d'Or film "The Wild Goose". Nanfei" is a romantic war movie. Films from the former Soviet Union have influenced the childhood and adolescence of many Chinese. For example, Jiang Wen, who made "The Sun Also Rises", and Pu Shu who wrote "Birch Forest"...
