7.9/10 The third of the World War II trilogy. From underground resistance to Warsaw Uprising to post-war infighting, from preaching revolution to accusing war to reflecting on liberation. The night the Germans announced their surrender was not a national celebration, nor was the assassin's difficult choice bleak. After the dazzling beginning, it was a long period of blandness, until at the end, when the secretary embraced the assassin in his arms and the fireworks of victory shot straight into the sky, he really couldn't help swearing swear words. This scene is unforgettable. It should feel like that.

#Northern Film FestivalRewatch# "Ashes and Diamonds" is the most eye-catching film in Wajda's early creations, and is recognized as the pinnacle of the entire Polish school. It forms a loose "trilogy" with Young Fighting (1955) and The Sewers (1957) because they share a common theme: questioning the then-popular heroism of sacrificing individuals for cause .

Szczuka: I'd be a bad communist, comrades, if I were to reassure you like a bunch of naive kids. The end of the war isn't the end of our fight. The fight for Poland and what kind of country it's to become has only just begun. Today or tomorrow or the day after, any one of us could die.
