"The pain is so long-lasting, it moves patiently like a snail; the happiness is so short, like the tail of a rabbit flying across the autumn grassland" -Lyudmila Pavlichenko's epitaph
1. About love
The opportunity to watch came from hearing the movie theme song "Cuckoo" sung by Russian female singer Polina in "Singer 2019". The powerful female voice seemed to lead us back to the era when the gunpowder was full of smoke. Seeing the heroic figure of an ordinary woman "women do not let the eyebrows and eyebrows" is exciting.
Contrary to what I had imagined before, this movie occupies a large portion of the portrayal of the heroine's love, but it does not reflect much on how the heroine became an excellent sniper. From a personal point of view, I am not too in favor of such an adaptation, although every emotional scene is very teary.
Emotional rendering is inseparable from the setting off. Let’s first praise the Russian movie scenes.
From "He Is the Dragon", "The Queen of Figure Skating" to "Female Sniper" I have seen, despite the huge differences in the themes, the shots are all beautiful. Perhaps this is a major feature of Russian movies?
The cold battlefield background is wrapped in cruelty and blood, and the love born on the battlefield is the only warm color of hope and warmth.
Liu De's first love was with her captain Makarov, a mature man with a slightly melancholic temperament.
It is a pity that for a promise, Makarov did not calmly accept the emotion she took to release until his death in the war.
However, the act of digging out the heroine from the pit of death and the companionship by the hospital bed have long demonstrated that cherishment that he had never revealed...
Liu De's second love affair is two-way, but the love in the war is still short-lived.
She and the second chief, Kitchenko, are partners on the front line, and on the battlefield are the lovers of skin-to-skin blindness.
"Lonely and long", these 5 words can be described as a simple and vivid summary of the sniper career.
Fortunately, with him/her by his side, time is no longer so tormented.
In the harsh environment of the ice and snow, two static sniper figures merged with the world.
They support each other, cooperate with each other, and have all the good things before the advent of bad luck.
The sudden explosion sounded, and the colorful smoke rising in the sea of flowers was not a celebration of their love, but a bell of death.
All the romance and laughter ended in his arm and his heartbeat that was gradually disappearing.
The poignant picture made me cry.
The blind date of the heroine in the film is also her steadfast guardian, even though she can't give him the love he wants.
2. About women
The impression that women often appear as vulnerable groups in wars is overturned.
According to investigations, the female officers and soldiers who directly entered the front line during World War II were beyond ordinary people's imagination.
Take the Soviet Union as an example. When the German army suddenly launched an offensive against the Soviet Union in June 1941, a large number of Soviet youth volunteers, including many women, went to the front in order to defend their home and country. Some experts estimate that a total of 800,000 women participated in the Soviet Red Army during World War II.
Yes, when the war comes, the country will not be the country, and the sacred term soldier has already crossed gender. In the film, the female soldiers’ beloved dolls and the clothing symbolizing women were ruthlessly destroyed by the officer. This is very realistic. After all, there is only life and death on the battlefield, only us and the enemy.
In addition, due to sniper warfare ( when you see "sniper", your mind goes to the "shun understanding" in "Operation Red Sea" ), this new type of combat method has gradually become more important, and countries participating in the war have begun to attach importance to the training and use of snipers. .
The Soviet military trained a large number of snipers with precise marksmanship during the war, among which there were 2,000 female snipers.
The prototype of the heroine in "Female Sniper" is the best of these female snipers-the Soviet female sniper Lyudmila M. Pavlichen who was awarded the honorary title of Hero of the Soviet Union and the Gold Star after the war division.
From the lively female student who majored in history to the ruthless warrior who took up a rifle to kill the enemy, she killed 309 German troops in the battles of Odessa and Sevastopol, which is 25 of more than 300 people. The only woman among the famous snipers.
Throughout the history of movies, there are very few movies with real heroines as the protagonists. I look forward to more movies with women as the main characters in the future.
3. About trauma
In the film, Liu De, who is dubbed the "Daughter of Death" by the outside world, is so strong that it makes people feel distressed.
After becoming famous, she was portrayed as a heroine by the country and appeared on various political occasions, accepting interviews from domestic and foreign politicians and questioning by the media. Since then, she has never been able to appear as a fighter on the battlefield where she swayed her youth.
The suffering of wounded soldiers coming off the battlefield is not only physical trauma, but also psychological torture.
What impressed me the most was Liu De's reaction when he unconsciously flinched and avoided after hearing the loud noise, although it was not the sound of guns.
In addition to the pressure brought about by the war itself, the revolutions that broke out during the war and the conflicts between humanity, party spirit and humanity have also eroded people's values to a great extent, which makes us have to think about the anti-human nature of war...
The spiritual ravages of war on people are beyond our understanding and imagination in the age of peace.
PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder)
Today we are no longer unfamiliar with this word, because it often appears in all kinds of movies and books.
In World War I, the use of large-scale heavy weapons caused convulsions, paralysis, amnesia, and even hysteria on a large scale in the army, which became a famous strange disease at the time. But people suspect that this unexplainable illness is actually just the soldier pretending to be sick.
The use of weapons of mass destruction in World War II was more widespread and frequent than in World War I. Soldiers stayed on the battlefield for a long time and had no respite. Because they are organized in a small fighting group, the social opportunities that can alleviate psychological distress are greatly reduced.
It is estimated that the number of people with mental problems during World War II soared to twice that of World War I, with the highest rate in the Army, and medical staff were unprepared for this. After the end of World War II, this kind of pain continued to the family in this way.
It was not until 1980 that the American Psychiatric Association first proposed the concept of PTSD. PTSD fills an important gap in psychiatry. The cause of its disease is the result of the individual's experience, rather than the individual's weakness. This new term also covers Holocaust survivors and sexually assaulted women and children, terrorist attacks and other catastrophic events.
Their commonalities are: long-term failure to recover from trauma, partial chaotic sensory impressions and messy fragment memories, memory system disorders, neuroendocrine system disorders, certain sounds similar to past events, smells, and news reports may trigger triggers .
May the world maintain love and peace forever, although this is just an unrealistic fantasy.
