For me the movie and the original are the manual for each other. Only after watching this movie can I get the concept of many grand scenes in the original book, as well as the rich feelings of characters that I didn't understand when I read the book; and only after reading the original book can I understand the greatness of this movie: unparalleled shots, feelings for the characters in the book The vivid description of the book, the expression of the book's ideas in simple language, and so on.

Then there are the actors, this movie, either the actors are too good, or the casting is too appropriate, or both, every character really seems to be from the original book, especially Pierre and Princess Maria.

    Casting, scenes and faithfulness to the original, the former Soviet Union spent (allegedly) $560 million to create such a vast, thick, unrepeatable scroll of footage, shot through the legs of a galloping horse, rising into the air, overlooking the smoke of the artillery shells Like white flowers blooming all over the field, it is like a heavy battle, and those noble children who were dressed in brocade at the dance, after the baptism of war and parting from life and death, injected new strength into life and became the eternal lyricism of this land. |20210509 Studios review, 4.5 stars, panning and orbiting aerial photography, the battlefield and the dance are flying together, the filter glass is blocked, and the smoke is hazy with tears. Narrator monologue: restore the psychological situation, mirror image split screen: share the love of children. Bondarchuk fully demonstrates his artistic literacy and World War II experience, various triptychs, icon paintings and battlefield clips, some of which are amazing: the water droplets and indoor panoramic shots (images of prison cells) when Pierre was proposed to marriage, and the supernatural scene when the Tsar's ball appeared. The long shot - the complex track includes different viewpoints, and the Natasha brothers and sisters talk together - the light and shadow create a dream, but the whole film has a sense of excessive force, and all the wonders and techniques are used to accompany the text.

    The picture is so good that it is frantic (the circling gunpowder above the battlefield is too awkward), the rhythm is very good, there is a unique sense of depression belonging to the Russian bear, and the thinking of the original work is also well expressed with abstract lenses. The good Soviet films are really crazy. The money does not count the return of a model of making a superb film, Natasha is more beautiful than Hepburn (don’t understand, the same is a socialist country, is the beauty index forced so much worse, people can shoot war and peace, we only have authentic warfare

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.
