We won the war but were ruthlessly abandoned by life

In the 2005 Russian movie [Nine Lian], there are no lone heroes in the wolf warriors, only bloody and devastated ordinary soldiers, they are not just numbers, but also fresh lives. They have love, hate, and desire, and they were eventually wiped out by the Afghan war and walked on the road of death. I haven't seen such a moving war movie in a long time. In the domestic Armageddon series, people are just numbers, written in the battle records. The result is the most important thing. The wise decision-making and command of the leaders are worth showing. Basically, there is no human touch. It has only gotten better since the Wolf Warrior. But compared with Korean, American, and Russian films, the reflection on war is lacking. Looking forward to Feng Xiaogang's new work [Youth]. "We left Afghanistan, and we, the 9th Company, won our own war. But we didn't know until then, didn't know that in two years, the country we fought for, will cease to exist, we The once proud Soviet uniforms and medals have become meaningless; we don't know that Warrant Officer Dougallo continued to serve in the army, training new recruits in the central Russian city of Tula, and a year later he died in a march Suffering from a stroke; we also do not know that the border city where Snow White and her mother lived, has since been deserted. We have been ruthlessly abandoned by our new life, some of us are rich, some of us are tormented by the shadow of war All our lives. We didn't know anything about these conditions until we got back to our homeland, we didn't even know that we were left in the chaos by the large force, on that far high ground. We left Afghanistan, the 9th Company, and we won."

9th Company quotes

  • [from trailer]

    Hohol: This is war! They don't put low grades here! They kill!

  • Lyutyy: We were leaving Afghanistan. We, the 9th company, we won our war. Back then we didn't know many things. We didn't know that, two years later, the country we had fought for would vanish. That wearing medals of a nonexistent country would become unfashionable.
