Last night, I finally finished watching the former Soviet version of the movie "War and Peace", which I had worked so hard to find, and I was very excited. Such a big movie deserves to be a blockbuster!

Let's talk about the experience of going back and forth for more than a month to watch these more than 6 hours of high-definition movies.

When I finished reading "War and Peace", I searched for movies by the way, and found that there are quite a few movies adapted from the famous book "War and Peace". So, I found the one that most closely matches the original, that is, the four films from the former Soviet Union, which were released one after another between 1966 and 1968.

When you have an idea, start looking for resources. But I can't help it. The old movies of that era can't be found in many places. I have tried all kinds of methods. The website is incomplete, the picture quality is unclear, the audio and video on the black technology are out of sync, and the Baidu network disk Resource not found. So I feel:

Why is such a great movie so hard to find, and all those bad movies are so overwhelming? The sadness of the times, the sadness of literary classics.

I was over with emotion, and I continued to look for it. Finally, I found a clip with ultra-clear picture quality on the almighty Xiaopo Station. Then I chatted privately, I found it, and downloaded it with Thunder, a total of 68 Gs, yes, you read that right, 68 Gs.

I like to watch high-definition, comfortable.

During this period, I also became a member and downloaded it for a week before I downloaded this awesome movie.

It's really a pleasure to watch this high-definition, literary, Towon, blockbuster about war and peace.

The following is the official introduction to popularize it for you.

Introduction War and Peace is a multi-episode film based on the classic book War and Peace by Russian author Leo Tolstoy. Directed and written by Sergei Bondarchuk, starring Lyudmila Saveriyeva, Sergey Bondarchuk, Vyacheslav Tikhonov. The film is divided into four parts, which were released one after another between 1965 and 1968. The main axis of the film is "Russian Great Patriotic War of 1812", which describes major events that occurred in Russia from 1805 to 1820, such as the Battle of Austerlitz, the Battle of Borodino, the Great Fire of Moscow, and the defeat of Napoleon. The film inherits most of the content of the original work, such as the "Four Families" and Andre, Pierre, Natasha and others, and reproduces the style of Russian society at that time.

Behind-the-scenes

(1) A five-year, purportedly costing $560 million (at the time prices) of the grandiose gigantic attempt to reproduce Tolstoy's tome with great fidelity. The war scenes and ball scenes were excellent, but the overall quality was mixed. The film is six and a half hours long and has a pivotal position in the history of Soviet cinema, and won the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film at the same time. The film cost as much as 560 million US dollars, making it the most expensive film in film history.

(2) The filming was greatly assisted by the Soviet military, and the military even tried to make the number of troops in the film basically the same as the number of participants in the actual battle. In the world film history, this film has become one of the films with the largest number of extras, surpassed only by "Gandhi Biography" in 1982, with as many as 300,000 extras participating in the filming.

The official evaluation of the film: This is a blockbuster film with exquisite production and rigorous conception. The scene is magnificent and majestic. It inherits the tradition of the former Soviet Union in shooting historical films, perfectly integrates the spirit of Tolstoy's original works, and reproduces the vast historical picture of Russia during the Russo-French War. The film centers on the Great Patriotic War in Russia in 1812, reflecting major events from 1805 to 1820, including the Battle of Austerlitz, the Battle of Borodino, the Great Fire of Moscow, and the defeat of Napoleon. Through the description of the four families and the thoughts and actions of Andre, Pierre and Natasha in the war and peace environment, it shows the style of Russian society at that time.

By the way, let me show you a few stills. The high-definition picture quality is really good. The Natasha in it looks better and better, hahaha.

In the end, it's a benefit. I attach high-definition movie resources. However, in my personal public account: People Who Steal Hearts, just pay attention to those who want to take them away.
