The commander of the Black Sea Fleet, Admiral Kolchak, stood on the square and could only helplessly say to his lover "I am leaving Russia". He had just come out of Kerensky, and he had no choice but to refuse K's request.
In the first half of the film, Kolchak leads the Russian navy to fight fearlessly, and most of the latter, the sailors revolt and shoot the officers. Then came the civil war between the White Army and the Red Army. An era has passed, and an era has begun.
Kolchak became the supreme commander of the White Army, but there were no more glorious victories, just one defeat after another.
It is also a reflection of that turbulent era. It is completely different from "Doctor Zivag". The film only describes how the White Army was defeated and did not mention why the Red Army won.
Aristocrats fall with defeat, and love fades with life. Apart from these two, I don't know what the movie wants to tell us about what happened in that era.
The only impressive thing is that Kolchak, who foresaw the defeat, dismissed his officers. There is also the patriotism of the White Army's appeal to the revival of Russia.
ZQ said that now, the era of the Bolsheviks has passed. Indeed, going back to Putin's Russia today, what do people think of which era in the past? Interestingly, the protagonist looks exactly like Putin in size and appearance. Is this my ignorance as a foreigner, or is it the intention of the movie?
The movie seems too weak compared to "Doctor Ziwage". What was the tragedy of the admiral's time, and what was the significance of his exploits, these films don't seem to answer. Perhaps there is only a nostalgia for the aristocratic era, and perhaps a confirmation of the ideology of the Russian Revival?
Everyone's time will pass. Does this also include Putin-style Russian patriotism?
