The film begins with the German-Russian naval battle in the Baltic Sea. Admiral Kolchak calmly avoided danger, saved the fleet from the muzzle of the Japanese army and led the Japanese fleet to death. This battle made him famous. At the ball at the naval base, he was undoubtedly the center, young and promising, handsome, and a top graduate of the regular military academy. Such a man, I am afraid that every woman can't help but be moved.
Anna is not an exception. She is a peerless beauty with graceful and gentle manners. Since the first time they met, they have been deeply attracted to each other. Although they both have their own marriages, their love is as bright and splendid as a broken crystal cup. I believe Kolchak didn't plan to divorce his wife and marry Anna in the first place, he said to her in the rain: "Let's never meet again", "Because I love you". How heart-wrenching he was at that time, but as a husband and father, that was all he could do. There is a sentence in "Letter from a Strange Woman": I love you, but it has nothing to do with you. I used to think how great this is, but now, I think it depends on the situation: if you don't know, of course it has nothing to do with you; if you know that I love you, and you love me, how can it have nothing to do with you? Anna undoubtedly loved Kolchak too, but at that time she was not brave enough to keep him.
In the face of Kolchak and Anna's hazy love, Kolchak's wife - Sophia and Anna's husband - Sergey and both of them surprised me. Sophia is in love with Kolchak and their children. After seeing Kolchak's series of actions, she asked bluntly: Are we not as in love as we used to be? Kolchak replied: Yes. Sophia went on to say: I can go back to St. Petersburg with my child and mother. Kolchak replied: You don't need to do this, I won't do it. Hearing such a reply, I wonder if Sophia is a lot more at ease. In her heart, her husband is still a good husband, but she is only temporarily fascinated by beautiful women. And Anna's husband, Kolchak's subordinate Sergey, has discovered that Anna is in love with Kolchak. But he loved Anna so much that he couldn't bear to make her sad. So later, he let Anna get off at Kurtsk to follow Kolchak. I am grateful for his accomplishment. So, is the seemingly beautiful love actually created by the great sacrifice of many people?
Anna knew how much danger was hidden under Kolchak's glory. Ever since her husband rescued his life in a panic, she was worried about his safety all the time, and even resented moving because she didn't want to lose contact with him. When she learned more than a year later that he had assembled an army in Siberia, she finally made up her mind: together. But instead of going to Kolchak directly, she became a nurse and did her best to help him solve his difficulties. At this moment, I finally think that she is also great, she is no longer just a pampered lady, but a woman who can put down her figure for love, a woman who loves a man deeply. As for the final meeting with Kolchak, she must have shed a lot of tears.
In the end, they finally spent this hard-won good time together, can't see enough every day. It is a pity that Kolchak could not escape the tide of the times and finally fell under the guns of the Bolsheviks. Anna, on the other hand, has been in prison for more than 30 years, from a young woman in full bloom to a white-haired old man, only the deep eyes reveal the vicissitudes she has experienced. In the end, she accidentally knocked over the waiter's cup at the dance on the set, which was far less gorgeous than that of the Navy Base, just like the one from thirty years ago. In the dimness, the high-spirited Kolchak's face appeared in front of her eyes, looking at her with a smile. They danced on the dance floor, with bright lights, melodious music, and a smile on everyone's face. This clip is somewhat similar to "Titanic". In the end, Rose also recalled dancing with Jack on the boat when she was old. Although it seems to be imitating, it is still pleasing to the eye.
However, this is just a beautiful imagination. Does Anna regret a little why she didn't dance with him at that time?
In addition to love, the film also describes Kolchak's military career. He is an excellent professional soldier with military intelligence, calmness, and calmness, but he is indeed not a good or even a bad politician. His higher education, the reputation of the commander of the "Black Sea Fleet", and the fact that the Tsar personally received and awarded him a sword gave him an indelible sense of superiority and loyalty to Tsarist Russia. So he could not accept another regime, even a new regime capable of changing Russia's decadent fate. He resolutely went to the country, but later returned to Siberia and assembled an army to try to resist. In fact, this army has been doomed to fail since its establishment. Personal resistance is so powerless under the tide of history, although the slogan gives people a momentary warm fantasy.
Kolchak was eventually handed over to the Soviets, and after the execution he was thrown into icy water. A generation of famous generals, just like that. The movie undoubtedly wanted to make the audience have such regrets, and yes, it did.
But I still want to say that Kolchak is Kolchak, it doesn't really matter whether he is a hero or a traitor.
