After watching "War and Peace"

Spent three days watching the 1967 Soviet version of War and Peace, an epic war movie. It is said that this is the most invested in the world's film history. It is a long-length masterpiece that lasts for more than six hours, with magnificent pictures, breathtaking vast fields, and the raging fire of Moscow. After watching the tetralogy, I like Natasha's first dance the most. She and Andre danced gracefully, and the picture was pleasing to the eye. The joy and beauty of peace are fleeting and fleeting, and war comes unexpectedly. When the Battle of Borodino broke out in 1812, the war engulfed everyone involved: the soldiers and generals who threw their heads and blood on the battlefield, and their parents, siblings, lovers and children behind them. Groups and individuals, everyone's real fear when facing death is as clear as the rumble of gunfire. There is no way to escape and there is no way to escape. Whether it is the French Emperor Napoleon or General Kutuzov, Andre Pierre or Natasha, the French army on the expedition or the Russian army who had to abandon Moscow, after the war, no one really wins! This is very shocking A masterpiece of ingenuity, a great visual experience, an immortal Slavic masterpiece.

    The grandiose production, which was only possible in the era of socialist state-owned studios, is magnificent. The two scenes in the novel that impressed me the most: 1. Andre heard the tranquility and saw the sky for the first time after the battle on the battlefield; 2. In the middle of the night, the despairing Andre heard the description of Natasha upstairs The beauty of the moonlit night, full of longing for life, inspired him to pay attention to the meaning of life. It's a pity that the contemplative feeling of the two scenes is somewhat diluted by the overly active camera movement and overly dramatic music. The transcendental spiritual and intellectual world in the film is through the subjective perspective of male characters: Andre, Pierre, and even Natasha's younger brother. On the whole, Bondarchuk and several other Soviet directors of the same period cannot be considered restrained and superior in terms of technique and control, and they are even a bit chaotic and tangled, and even the presentation of war scenes is a bit like this (Socialist Realism + Surrealism + Symbolism). But for the brutal destruction of human body, spirit and civilization by war, I have a deep emotion. The empty city of Moscow, the siege of St. Petersburg, and the history of blood and tears of "World War II" are still fresh in the memory of the Soviets in the 1960s.

    The old elder sister of the Russian department makes up lessons. I watched a day at the Russian Film Festival today. Just as you must apply for a card for fitness, Epic must go to the movie theater: You can pause fast forward and chat without spending money. Are you worthy of a guide? ! Bring my own goggles. I scored five stars in this film. In terms of emotional lines, Pierre vs André, I stand firmly on the fat man. But the fat man went a little too much: inherit the inheritance, marry Bai Fumi (no), learn the rules of the duel on the spot and quickly set the horse to defeat the male third Taurokhov; if he is no longer a free man, his wife is very cooperative; the battlefield Immortal, being captured without a knife, and eventually dying of an old friend and marrying the heroine...Although I vomit, I like to be fat. The woman’s favorite is Maria, but who can tell me where her emotional line has gone? Okay, let the details aside. Compared with the silly sweet love brain Natasha, Maria is intellectual and elegant. Of course, whether Natasha or Andre is good, I don't admit that others say that their acting is exaggerated and monologue is embarrassing, because it is very Russian. Okay, finally, praise the artillery, cannon fodder, and potato master. They have the best acting skills.

War and Peace quotes

  • Pierre Bezukhov: Amuse yourself with women like my wife. There, you're within your rights. They know what you want of them. They are armed against you by the same experience of debauchery. But to promise an innocent girl to marry her - to deceive, to abduct her. Don't you understand that's as despicable as beating an old woman or a child?

    Anatol Kuragin: I don't know about that.

  • Prince Nikolai Andreevich Bolkonsky: Russia is lost. They've ruined her.
