Must see the original

This war and peace filmed by the Soviet Union can be regarded as an outstanding example of doing one thing with the power of the whole country. Such a movie, such a magnificent scene scheduling, music production, light and shadow art, we will not be able to do it for decades. , then the question arises. They are also boasting about the demeanor of a great country. Then there are some opinions about this film adapted from Leo Tolstoy's original work: 1 Russian literature has obvious thinking about life and death. I only heard people say this before, but now I really feel that they are deeply in love with each other. After a thorough understanding of life and death, I decided to buy some Russian literature books to read, and plan to buy War and Peace to read. 3 Russia is also a country with religious beliefs, and the soil of religious beliefs is very deep. Although it was an autocratic rule in the Russian emperor’s period, this nation has strong religious beliefs. I personally highly recommend that a country should have religious beliefs. Only when the people are in awe will they have awe, do things they dare not do, and rely on their hearts. 3 The Russians are really sturdy and their thoughts are very profound, so I understand why they can resolutely choose to disintegrate. The beasts should go to the prairie. A nation is not something that can be tamed easily, so I have to say that there is a big gap between people. Some people don’t dare to stand up after kneeling for a long time, and the Russians are very powerful. 4 The Soviet Union has a certain selfishness in shooting war and peace, beautifying the Russian army. Generally speaking, it is a good work. The original intention of Leo Tolstoy's writing this masterpiece was to oppose war and advocate humanitarianism, but the film played down this color and emphasized the color of praising the Russian army. Overall, the shooting is very good. The pictures are just like oil paintings. The images of historical figures are highly restored. It is worth watching for history lovers. If you want to watch the plot, you must think about the ideas conveyed by Leo Tolstoy and understand Russian literature. In thinking about life and death, you should also read the original work.

    Romantic and elegant, a masterpiece, in addition to Andre becoming a supporting role, the director himself played Pierre as the protagonist, which is unhappy. The understanding of war may be pinned on a lot of hatred for Hitler. After all, history repeats itself. If Tolstoy catches up with World War II, I don’t know what will happen. The understanding of peaceful life deserves much consideration today. The first person in many novels is usually the bystander, the witness, the one who survives, whose personality is less attractive (extreme, dramatic) than the protagonist

    The best foreign language film at the 1969 Oscar, the magnificent war scenes and the delicate and moving psychological description blend in perfect harmony. It can be called a perfect film adaptation of a famous book. The actor's image, temperament and acting skills are excellent, and the soundtrack and the dance costumes are all restored. The film uses a large number of monologues and voice-overs to express philosophy, photography and editing are combined with reality and reality, with extraordinary expressiveness (tonal change, lens blur, picture segmentation, abstract and ideographic empty shots). That cloud that tree that person. (9.0/10)
