6 points, if the environment allows, you must first understand history when making historical films. This Polish historical film has a certain role model. The drastic changes in Poland before and after World War II can be called the condensation and intensification of the previous hundreds of years (so if you really want to understand this movie, you still need to supplement the relevant historical materials). Although Poland also belongs to the Slavic ethnic group, its religious belief is Catholicism, which is incompatible with the Eastern Orthodox Church such as Ukraine in the east. The Polish enclave of Volhynia in western Ukraine and its environs experienced brutal mutual genocide with Ukrainians back and forth between the Soviet Union and the German Nazis before and after World War II. The film describes the situation in about ten years of this upheaval. The whole film is still a bit anticlimactic (the end is the retreat of Germany, World War II is not over, and the westward migration of Poland and Ukraine after World War II is also a big drastic change), even if it is already an extended version, but the description of the historical situation is too complicated, these two Half an hour is still not enough. If we really make a long film and continue for more than ten or twenty years, it will become the Polish version of #Quiet River Don#. [Score range 6-7 points]
