I saw this movie by accident. The film itself does not have any shooting skills, and uses a simple time narrative style to tell the story of the boy returning home to see his mother. Although the story level is simple, when I was looking for some information about this film, I found that it was nominated for the 34th Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay. Even Americans have a different opinion on this film, this Soviet film, I think, it may be Because of the story of the movie. Alyosha, a young soldier who blew up two German tanks for his outstanding performance on the battlefield, was rewarded with the opportunity to go home to see his mother.
On the way, Alyosha met all kinds of people. They all represented the Soviet Union during World War II, a microcosm of people's lives. Take a clip in the film as an example. A soldier learned that Alyosha was going back. He entrusted Alyosha to bring back some soap to his wife. When Alyosha saw the soldier's wife betrayed the soldier, Alyosha was angry and took the soap and gave it to the soldier's father. Alyosha also praised the soldier. , Although he does not know whether the soldier is still alive, he comforts his father, which fully reflects the life of the people in that era, and the director has a good grasp of this detail.
At the end of the film, the film is 97 minutes in total. The director did not take a large proportion of the emotional scene between Alyosha and his mother, but saw his mother after a lot of things, which will give the audience a sense of This sense of immersion reflects the difficulties on the way home during the war, not to mention the time constraints. In the end, Alyosha saw his mother and soon went to the front again. This should be the best ending. Why did the soldiers defend their homes and the country during the war? Not for honor or for doctrine, just for family, family after the front line.
