Russian war movies are always full of vigor. Due to the great victory of World War II, most of Russian World War II movies do not require anti-war heights - they do not need to. This war story of 28 warriors has similar war themes all over the world. The blocking war, from less to many, from isolation to heroic sacrifice, reflects the tragic war and responsibility, honor and heroic fighting. The last one that impressed me was "Assembly". However, the whole film is actually more about popularizing the glorious deeds of the 28 warriors, so there is basically no effort to create the characters. The audience feels that the actors, except for some of the Asian faces, are among the Soviet people. The gap is not big, and the characters are not able to stand up well. But the whole thing is relatively complete. In the winter of 1941, on the eve of the German troops approaching Moscow, a group of Soviet troops were forced to serve as cannon fodder to stop the enemy. Due to being isolated and helpless, 28 of them, as the main force of the blocking, successfully repelled the German attack after paying a heavy price, buying time for the rear and subsequent troops. Such a simple story is familiar. But apart from the war scenes, a lot of broken mouth, and pre-war preparations, the whole movie is very pale.
In the plain blocking battle, which is the most intensely depicted in the movie, a large number of German No. 3s and Short Fours attacked, and the troops and tanks launched an attack in coordination. The artillery and weapons are very close to the real, and the details are well described. However, the tactical literacy and fighting style of the German army in the movie still caused a lot of complaints. Although it is a Soviet official propaganda film, there is no need to portray the German army as so low-minded. A large number of infantrymen charged with machine guns. The tanks did not pose a threat in the early stage except for driving through the trenches. The cleared trenches went, and a single machine gun swept away the vast majority of the enemy. At first, I was still calculating how many people were left in the 28, but later, the number of people has become the driving force to watch, and in the end, there are six people left, and I still do not understand. Remember that this is the elite German army in 1941, not the defeated army in 1945. This kind of tactical literacy, how wrong the Soviet army in Kyiv died... Such a method of despising war skills, I only regard it as propaganda The heroic deeds of the Soviets are over - but the problem is that promoting the excellence of the German army does not conflict with preaching the greatness of the Soviet army. So probably, the director and screenwriter lack a certain common sense of war.
In addition to the excellence of Fuhua Dao, the best part of the film is photography. A large number of long-distance photography in the film show the magnificent scene of the Russian plain, the colorful clouds in the sky, the vast snow sea, the use of natural light and artificial light, extremely The earth has attracted my interest in traveling to Russia, better than nothing.
As Russia's official tourism film, war movie lovers should not watch it.
