Legend has it that this movie is the best sniper war movie, I believed it, and I took my wife to see it.
The movie opens with a meaningful scene, the scene where the little boy hunts the wolf for the first time in the forest is very beautiful. After that, the scene where the hero Vasily left the crowded troop carrier and stepped into the troop carrier to cross the Volga River was a heroic scene, which gave me goosebumps.
Then, not so impressive.
To put it bluntly, disappointing. The movie is full of Western prejudice against the Soviet Union. Except for the hero Vasily, the heroine, and the little boy's family, there is almost no positive Soviet Red Army character.
Only incompetent and furious, roaring at the political commissars, Maize Xiaofu, Stalin who sees nothing but cannon fodder, Soviet soldiers like cannon fodder, frightened officers, cowardly deserters and cruel supervisors, and the second male lead who is jealous of the male lead political commissar.
He literally turned the Great Patriotic War into a romantic film without any ideological heights.
Perhaps it is difficult for Westerners to understand the patriotic feelings of the Soviets.
After all, the "liberal" ideology promoted by Western countries is the supremacy of "individualism".
Many Western war movies are full of details and then crooked. Of course, we are no strangers to this.
