Before watching the film "The Killing of Munich", I thought it was just a hot-blooded theme film depicting the Soviet basketball team's counterattack to win the championship. The state, although some of the content is an exaggeration of artistic means, is also a portrayal of the real situation at that time. Combined with the part about the Soviet Union in Qian Qichen's "Ten Notes on Diplomacy" that he was reading at the time, he was more sensitive to it.
In this film, first of all, the sportsmanship of the Soviet basketball team is praised to the end. In particular, Sergei Belov was left alone and kept in touch until the end. From the perspective of the head coach, we were surprised by how hard he practiced with weights. The last three seconds on the field also profoundly explained that "everything is possible in life".
In this film, in the constant swaying of the Soviet Basketball Association officials, in his comparison with the head coach, he also satirizes many government officials that the black gauze hat on their heads is more important than anything else, but At the same time, it also showed the strength of all people in the end.
In the middle, the social situation of the Soviet Union at that time was constantly restored with details. For example, when the team returns to China to go through customs, they strictly check the items they carry, and strictly ask the purpose of every item purchased in the United States, such as wool, belts, and coats; for example, the team doctor was originally arranged by the party to monitor everyone’s consciousness and thoughts For example, the coach bought contact lenses for the players in the United States; for example, it was difficult for the coach to treat children in order to go abroad; for example, the players needed local treatment when they fell ill abroad, but the Soviets asked whether the domestic medical technology was worse than the United States; for example The American player gave Sergey a painkiller, which was not available in the Soviet Union at that time (just the situation in the movie), and when this scene happened to the team doctor, he said "we have it ourselves", I seem to see a persistent Fascinated by the ideological world of the arms race and the Cold War, but refused to admit that the domestic economy and technology all wanted to fight the backward Soviet Union.
Look up the background of the movie online, "In the 1970s, the medical level in the Soviet Union was not as 'everything for the people' as the government claimed. Civilians in the Soviet Union needed to queue up to see a doctor and needed to give gifts. Therefore, many people preferred to travel to Central Europe, etc. The state seeks medical treatment, and even obtains some western medicines through the black market. The coach in the film, Galanzhin, wants to go abroad to see a doctor for his son, which is also based on this reason.” In this film, while praising the great legend, he exposes the extreme political system and political system of the Soviet Union. In terms of ideology, the hostility between the Soviet Union and the United States during the Cold War was not written in cold words in textbooks, but was revealed through the perspective of ordinary people's lives.
I also realized once again that it is ordinary people who give everything, and it is ordinary people who lose everything.
