"War and Peace"

The length of six and a half hours does provide sufficient conditions for the film to carry more of the connotation of the original work. The selection of the main actors in the film is very appropriate, which completely matches Pierre, Andre, and Natasha in my mind. , and the actor's successful shaping of the role is also the key to the success of the film. The film's unique creativity in many shootings: the tone and movement are memorable, and the textbook-like lens processing is also commendable. And the grasp of the spiritual level in the original work is also in place, although sometimes it feels a little too poetic.

The only regret is that the grand war scene is really spectacular, and the scheduling is also extremely difficult, but now it always feels a bit messy, and the importance of the characters is unclear.

However, as far as the film adaptation of such a famous book is concerned, it can already be called a model. Of course, only the former Soviet Union at that time could photograph it. One had self-pursuit of art and at the same time had the support given by the reasons of national form.
