The film pushes the sniper in front of the camera, and the stunt is a duel between two sharpshooters. Interspersed, however, are questions about communism.
First, the steely Kriegev described "the bliss of socialism". In his description of the domestic political atmosphere in the Soviet Union before and after the war, he sarcastically recounted his experience of being brutally forced to confess by "my own people" after returning from Germany, so that his mouth full of teeth was broken with a hammer.
Second, the political commissar faced Khrushchev's remarks "Here, the men's only choice is between German bullets and ours." The words and the bloody scene of the Soviet soldiers shooting the returning soldiers shortly after the opening match each other, vividly expressing the bloody tactics of the Soviet republic in this bloody battle.
Third, the most direct passage, before the final confrontation, the political commissar said this thought-provoking sentence: "I've been such a fool, Vassili. Man will always be a man. There is no new man. We tried so hard to create a society that was equal, where there'd be nothing to envy your neighbour. But there's always something to envy. A smile, a friendship, something you don't have and want to appropriate. In this world, even a Soviet one, there will always be rich and poor. Rich in gifts, poor in gifts. Rich in love, poor in love.” (I used to be such a fool, Vasily! People are people, no What's changed. We try to create a communist society where people don't envy their neighbors. But there's always something to envy in this world. A smile, a friendship, those things you can't ask for. In this world, even In the world of the Soviet Union, there are always rich and poor. Rich in talent, poor in talent. Rich in love, poor in love.)
This sentence is like a powerful slap in the face, awakening the dreamer!
We long for republic, but republic cannot be absolute. Because human beings are human beings, human desire determines that there must be jealousy and inequality in this world.
French director Jean-Jacques Arnault ripped open communism's usual tenderness and whitewash, directly digging out this ugly reality. It is a pity that our positions are different, I spurn communism's whitewashing of inequality, but I am still willing to give my life to my country, like the commissar, Grikov and Vasily. Politics and ethnicity do not seem to align.
Suddenly I remembered the story of Wei Zheng's "offending Yan Zhijian". Tang Taizong also violated his own regulations that only 18-year-old men must perform military service for the war, and decided to recruit tall men over 16 years old and under 18 years old to join the army. In the end, he accepted Wei Zheng's confession. And Stalin was not Tang Taizong, who seemed unable to accept defeat in the land named after the leader. So soldiers with no training, even unarmed ones, were driven into battle. Click to stop, otherwise it will involve too much inexplicable history.
