At the beginning, I saw that the handsome guy starred in a Soviet Red Army, and I was still thinking, how fresh, in American blockbusters, the Soviet Union has always been the bad evil. The kind of insidious, cunning, and murderous image that confronts the protagonist has always been a Russian guy. Could it be that this time we are going to give the Soviets a big turnaround?
Only after watching it for ten minutes did I realize that it was not. Neither side of the war was a good bird. The Soviet officers killed all their soldiers who were afraid of being bombed and fled into the water. Kill all the soldiers who are scared to run back on the battlefield. The civilians were not allowed to cross the sea to leave, and the generals ignored the life and death of the soldiers and the common people. And let me deeply understand a truth: Soldiers are only solid tools of war.
In the chaotic massacre, two people in the Red Army rushed forward with a gun to die in batches. Me and YC's off-
screen comments: Me : I'm so stupid, why don't you pretend to be dead and fall down and mix in the pile of corpses.
YC: Yes, if I play dead first and turn my butt out.
Me: Not enough, I have to drag a corpse on top of me.
To fight, you must immediately find a safe place to drill. Don't give a good life in vain. Wars are stupid, those who start wars are cunning, and soldiers are killed. This is what I get every time I watch war movies.
When the Germans attacked Stalingrad in 1942, they burned, looted, raped women, and when the Soviet Red Army captured Berlin in 1944, they were just as domineering and vicious, and raped women. From a micro perspective, neither side is right.
Khrushchev played wickedly, much more wicked than the German Nazis. In contrast, the German major sniper is not annoying. Good people are not necessarily good, bad people are not necessarily bad, the usual way of Hollywood war movies. If the Red Army's own people scold the socialist camp and expose the darkness, the effect will be more significant. Political commissars become jealous because of hatred, and finally betray their friends. It is just normal human nature, and there is no difference due to war or the faction they belong to. Once the war begins, there is no winner, only those who survive.
+++++++++++++++
This movie also showed me how in a social XX country, how the invincible hero is shaped step by step by the propaganda machine.
