The American film of the Soviet snipers in the Battle of Stalingrad by a French director and a British actor! By the way, its core is an American movie, and the exterior scenes are all German. American movies like to focus on individuals in war movies. The story of a certain individual or a war hero in war is a good blueprint for a war movie. It may not be objective about war, but it is very attractive. In the final analysis, we audiences like to watch people's stories. As the director of this film said, he is not interested in the pure war part, he is only interested in how his characters feel in the war. (In fact, I also hope that Chinese directors can dig out such a good theme of victory).
When I usually talk to Xiaobao about the army, I will tell him about the discipline and 100% obedience of the army. On the battlefield, when the commander told the soldiers to rush, they had to rush. Whoever retreated against the order was a deserter. According to the military order, they would be killed on the spot. The film begins with thousands of Soviet soldiers crossing the Volga to Stalingrad. The ships are filled with recruits, the German fighter planes swooped down and dropped bombs, and some young soldiers jumped into the water in fright. The officer didn't hesitate. shot him. Later, they attacked on the flat ground. Due to the lack of weapons and ammunition, the two Soviet troops shared a rifle. The person in front took the gun. If they fell, the person behind needed to take the gun and continue to attack. When a large number of soldiers fell, and the charge was impossible to succeed, someone ordered a retreat, but the Soviet military commissar fired a heavy machine gun at his own soldiers behind. That scene was not tragic but tragic. The soldiers were cannon fodder. The bullets against the enemy, and then the bullets of the superior, will die wherever they go, and they will die without honor.
In the words of the characters in the film, Everyone has their time. (The original sentence was said by the sniper Vasily to Tania, the girl he liked: Every cup of tea, every cigarette...becomes a little celebration. Because for a lot of us, it may be our last night. It's just something you have to accept here.) For these soldiers, their hour has come.
At first glance, I think that in the Black Soviet Union, almost people all over the world should hate Stalin's dictatorship very much. This seems to be thanks to Hitler. If he hadn't launched World War II and massacred Jews genociously, Nor will it cover up the brutality of the contemporary Stalin regime as it does today. Recently, I was watching the "Apocalypse of World War II" filmed by the French. It also mentioned that the Soviets were seriously lacking in weapons and ammunition at that time, even to the point where four people shared a rifle. In this way, the two people who watched the battle for Stalingrad in the film shared a rifle. Shouldn't be completely fabricated.
After this charge, I turned off the movie and took a good breath before continuing to watch.
Behind the sniper Vasily showed a stunt, and then turned out as a hero sniper in the propaganda article of political commissar Danilov. He received letters from countless admirers in the country, boosted his morale, gained Tanie's love, and attracted the German ace sniper. The love story is interspersed in the duel between the two Sood snipers, which pushes the film to a climax. The love triangle sparks Danilov's revenge as a loser, determined to single-handedly destroy the war hero Vasily he created. During the war, Everyone has their time. Tanie was hit by a stray bullet during an escort operation, and Danilov's heart was also "hit". He suddenly realized the darkness and ugliness in his heart, and was determined to expose himself as Vasily Find the location of the local sniper. His words before his death were exactly what the director said to the audience: I've been such a fool, Vassili. Man will always be man. There is no new man. We tried so hard to create a society that was equal , where there'd be nothing to envy your neighbor. But there's always something to envy. A smile...a friendship. Something you don't have and want to appropriate. In this world--even a Soviet one--there will always be rich and poor. Rich in gifts...poor in gifts. Rich in love...poor in love. I have always been foolish, Vasily. Human nature cannot be changed, and there will be no new human beings in the world. We strive to create an equal society, and hope that everyone will not be jealous of others. However, people always have something that makes others jealous, a smile, a friendship, something they can't get. In this world, even the Soviet world... There are always rich and poor, rich in talent, poor in talent, rich in love, and poor in love. It is also the human nature that the director cares most about, the human nature in war.
