"Either kill or be killed! War is dirty, it's not polite, it's not a joke, treat him really. The important thing is, throw away hypocrisy, war is war, not child's play..."
——Andre [Su] "War and Peace, Part III"
"Let all the good people walk together hand in hand, let them raise the banner of truth, goodness and beauty, and jointly seek happiness for this world. Those thoughts that have had a great impact are often extremely simple. All my thoughts are: if If those immoral people come together to form a force, then the righteous people should also do it, it is as simple as that."
——【Russian】Leo Tolstoy, "War and Peace"
Tuo Lao's "War and Peace" is of course a classic, a classic among classics. The Soviet version of "War and Peace" is also a classic, but it is a mediocre work in the classics.
To be honest, I was a little disappointed after reading this work in procrastination. With Meiyu in front, unless it is the energy of genius. Otherwise, the new one cannot fully display the original scenery. The original is full of variety, magnificent, and the thought is not deep and broad. The film focuses on performance, and it is already eight and a half times as good as the original. There are also big scenes, and the depth is enough, but that's all that's left.
To understand the suffering and idiosyncrasies of the Russian nation (intellectuals), it is impossible not to understand the Decembrists. If you want to understand the Decembrists, Lao Tuo said, you should first understand the war of 1812. If you want to understand the war, it is better to start from the beginning.
Warriors, beauties, nobles, commoners, French, Russians, what is justice, what is peace, what Russia wants, what is the spirit and suffering of Russians. The original, and the movie. The great thing about his works is that these problems, the creators hide him under the iceberg, leaving only a small corner floating on it for everyone to see. This iceberg floating in the sea - the creators show us, is big enough.
The artistic techniques and techniques are different from what I used to watch Western movies. There are some naive or discordant aspects of this film. The mise-en-scene brings cuts that aren't so refined. Montage is used in a weird way. Montage was invented by Russia (Soviet Union) ("The Polo General"), and of course has a unique understanding of this technique. Therefore, "readers" are nothing more than rants. Nonetheless, this imperfection has a peculiar charm, or an imperfect beauty.
A large number of monologues were added to the film. The "reader" believed that this was unable to control the original work and could not convert the literary language into the language of sound and light. Although a little out of place. But these readings are really good to fill the thought of the work. It is also possible to ponder the depression and entanglement of Lao Tuo's philosophy or Russian culture, as well as the praise and desire for light and human kindness.
This person, Lao Tuo, is very like God. He has compassion for the sufferings of the world, but he has no God's ability. He is entangled in his inability to save them.
Actor, very good. Pierre's first protagonist, a fat bear, a chubby bear, has been tempered into a real Russian man in the fire of war. Natasha, this person looks a lot like Hepburn (those blue eyes are really beautiful). It has also grown in the changing times. This is Laoto's self-presentation. It is also a self-presentation of the creator.
The good part of this film is that during the Cold War, although the work had a strong sense of national pride. But there is also a broad range of goodness and morality that transcends nationality. He can get the respect of the "enemy" and get the Oscar. Of course well deserved.
"War and Peace", like "A Dream of Red Mansions", can be interpreted in too many places. This is not enough to describe in a few hundred words. Americans are very smart. There are two flowers, but only one. The Soviet Union has great ambitions, and its works are better-looking and have more problems.
A great nation must have great art. indeed so.
