    Only death can keep me your love and eternity. The heroine doesn't look my type, she's too old-fashioned. The long shot is still very good, the soundtrack is a bit messy, the subject matter is a little old-fashioned, and the ending is guessed in the first five minutes. Movies like this always remind me of my own destiny. I used to be a young officer who was tall and straight like a poplar, and a beautiful and carefree girl. But we have gradually become obliterated and even...

    It is not only the geese that fly, but also the rocker arm! The posture of looking up is shaped by the camera into a direct image form, and the fusion of Kalatozov's wonderful moving shots constitutes an expression grammar that starts from individual emotions but eventually rushes towards the collective, especially when the heroine is looking for the hero in 24 minutes and 50. The long shot: Arriving on the bus to send off the recruits to the flank, the heroine got off the bus and crossed...

    As a representative work of the relatively relaxed period of Soviet literature and art policy in the late 1950s, "Flying Wild Wild Goose" contains rich information on the relationship between literature, art and politics. The film's performance of the characters' personal will to participate in the war and the psychological trauma brought to the individual by the war has impacted and deepened the originally cold and purely collectivist discourse; the film has already announced the death of the...

    Only Russian cinema is like this, whether joy or sorrow, crime or punishment, love or hate, always accompanied by poetry and music. What a romantic and profound...

    The director has no intention to tell a sad and sad story. The ending of Losing My Love is reversed to the strength and forbearance of smiling face, which has been thoroughly explained. The neatness of the plot and the exuberant performances now seem to lack a tinge of mellowness or softness. But in any case, the photography of the film offsets all possible shortcomings. Perhaps it is because of this godlike photography that it is...

    5- The representative works of Kalatozov's poetic films, textbook-level photography and mirror movement. The reverse rotation of the birch forest and the ascending stairs melt together and send / greet the group in the short focus and long lens to follow the hero and the heroine. The story stands on the fringes of political ideology and neutrality between men and women, especially rare in the Soviet period. The sublimation at the end is a little abrupt, and the two reverse shots are somewhat...

    In fact, the 720P version below has only English subtitles, and the English is very sloppy, and you can understand it with the introduction. The plot of the story is simple, and the focus of the film is still on photography. As far as the scene shooting is concerned, several of them can be called high-ranking in the history of film, but the effect of the overall combination is not good. Urushevsky stole the limelight of Kalatozov. Their "" I Am Cuban blends...

    Among the few films I watched recently from the former Soviet Union, only "Flying Wild Goose" was not a classic because of the reasons of the times and politics, and its artistic value is indeed higher. Sure enough, as soon as a comrade-in-arms see his girlfriend's photo, he must...

    This movie is a poem. The breathtaking movement of mirrors, light and shadow, and editing endow the film with a sense of rhythm, creating the "big strings are noisy like rain, small strings are like whispers. For example, when the heroine returns home, she sees a pair of pendulums swaying on the ruins of a broken bell ("Bingquan is cold and astringent"), so she covers her ears ("Condensation will never pass the sound and pause for a while"), "At this time. Silent is better than sound", not to...

    In terms of plot, the connection between war and personal destiny, in the Soviet Union of that era, it is rare to express the factors of non-collectivism in this way. Technically, the movement, lighting, and editing of this film can basically be written into film...

    Big geese flying south, are you back?

    The Poetry Movie is the representative of the Poetry Movie. Yan Nanfei, who I only met after hearing about it, is the representative of the Poetry Movie. I just watched it, and I like it very much. It was the first time I saw a Soviet movie, the first time I saw a poetry movie, the first time I was...

    The wild goose flies south, love does not return

    For the current middle-aged generation, most of them are as precious when talking about former Soviet films, and the Russian plot is also the complex of a generation of Chinese. From the perspective of people after the 70s, the Soviet Union is not so cute. I was born in the 1980s. In the eyes of...

  • [first lines]

    Boris: Wait, squirrel! Here. Put it on.

  • Fyodor Ivanovich: Stop it this minute! You're a still a soldier in the Red Army! Are you trying to get discharged? Are you afraid we'll heal your hands and send you back to the front?

    A patient in the infirmary: No, Doctor, he's not like that. He got a letter.

    Fyodor Ivanovich: I know. That's just an excuse. Big deal! So your bride ran off. You should be glad! She isn't worth a penny if she would trade a handsome guy like you, a real hero, for some rat sitting out the war at home! It's she who's forfeit her happiness, not you! And that's what she deserves. She's got a petty soul. People like her can't understand how much suffering we've gone through. You stood up to death itself. You looked death in the face. You approached it with your chest stuck out. And she couldn't even pass the little test of time. Woman like her deserve only your contempt. There can be no forgiveness for them!
