    A very literary and artistic post-war reflection, the exquisite composition under the black and white image tells the inner activities of the characters, and the romantic encounter before the assassination is more like a light of life, reflecting the ashes to shine like diamonds. Looking at the essence of war from the perspective of individual fate, the little people can't change anything and can't wait for the end of the day. The images of white horse and Jesus add to the film a sense of...

    The price of national victory is the sacrifice of countless individuals. This time, Wajda minimized the drama and only used the "assassination" as the background of the narrative, focusing on the depiction of individuals. If the first two shows an atmosphere of excitement and depression respectively, then this one shows a sadness. In the end, Macek curled up in the rubbish heap in pain, forming a question mark. It can be said that it is a war and Powerful questioning of...

    #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...

With a love for his motherland that does not ask for anything in return, Vaida does not forget the struggle in the sewers of Warsaw. The characters in this story are all entangled in the helplessness after the war, ushering in the destruction of their diamonds into...
