<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" >What kind of movie is "Hunt for T34"? </h1>
The Hunt for T34 is a self-written and directed work by director Alexei Sidollov, based on the true events of World War II, starring Alexei Sidollov, Alexander Petrov and Vincent Kev.
It tells the story of the Soviet soldier Nikolai who twice used the legendary tank T-34 to fight against the enemy during World War II.
The film is divided into two stages, the first stage is in 1941, Nikolai, who has just graduated from the Tank Military Academy, is sent to the front line to deliver strategic supplies.
In the opening scene, he and his companions cut down road signs, encountered an enemy tank on patrol, a S-shaped move and a sudden pause, perfectly bypassing the tank's multiple shelling, from the subsequent plot, this tank is led by the German soldier Jaeger.
Nikolai's first task was successfully completed, and after reaching the front line, after a short rest, the commander handed him the only remaining T-34 tank, and the second task was to block the enemy tank company so that the large troops could be transferred.
After a simple deployment, the next day, Nikolai led a squad and annihilated six enemy tanks with a T-34 tank, but was eventually captured because they were outnumbered.
The timeline came in 1944, and the second phase began, with Nikolai unsuccessfully escaping seven times in the previous concentration camp and later being transferred to the third prisoner-of-war camp in Thuringia.
Here, the "old friend" Jaeger recognized him, and by this time Jaeger had been promoted to colonel of the German tank corps, and the lesson Nikolai had given was still fresh in his memory.
Jaeger used the life of the female translator as a threat to force Nikolai to comply, and was forced to agree to his conditions: to form a tank squad and clean up a captured T-34 tank.
Jaeger's purpose was simple, that is, to use this tank to train their tank troops, which also included two mandatory rules, first, there was no live ammunition, and second, it could only be hidden in the concentration camp training ground, and the German tank live ammunition units could be circumvented.
Nikolai spotted his comrades who had fought together in 1941, pulled him in, and while cleaning up the tank, he found that there were six unused live ammunition inside.
Thus, there is a follow-up gripping battle scene, the tank foursome plus the female translator, driving this T-34 tank, staged a story of escaping from the enemy camp all the way.
< h1 class = "pgc-h-arrow-right" > 7.5 points, the look and feel of burning blood, this is an awesome and good-looking war film</h1>
After the large-scale release of "Hunting T34", the Douban score was lifted, and more than 20,000 people rated it with 7.5 points, which was comparable to the score of "Eight Hundred", greatly surpassing the 6.5-point "King Kong Chuan".
The movie is very similar to Wu Jing's "Wolf Warrior 2", and it is similar to the story of Zhao Zilong's seven in and seven out of Changsakapo, a group of lone heroes driving this tank to create a miracle, it can be said that this is a "wolf warrior" in the tank industry.
The movie gives people only one impression: good looks! Passionate and awesome! It is mainly manifested in the following aspects.
The first burning love, divided into tank burning love and male and female protagonist burning love, the most interesting thing is the T34 re-emergence of the river, with Tchaikovsky's "Swan Lake" symphony to a tank ballet, it is really impressive.
In addition, there is a female translator who translates "I wish you a liver explosion" into "I wish you happiness and longevity"; Nikolai and his partners drive tanks to pick up the heroine, which is both romantic and creative.
The second blood, the "cannonball time" created by the main creator with CG special effects, has become the second biggest attraction in the whole film, I believe everyone has seen Keanu Reeves's "The Matrix".
The scene where Neo dodged bullets was used to "bullet time", the visual effects were unprecedentedly shocking, shocking fans around the world, and in "Hunting T34", the director used this technique many times to fire shells from tanks.
The trajectory of the shell includes disemboweled, flight, jumping, armor piercing, and explosion, the whole process is meticulous, in slow motion, the tiny sparks are beating in front of the eyes, and each explosion explodes in the ear as if it is immersive.
For example, a shell killed two tanks, the shell bounced on the ground to the bottom of the tank, using more than 1 million frames of CG special effects slow motion, the visual effect is quite shocking, the moment the shell is fired, the moment the shell is fired, the audience's blood veins are stretched, and the explosion is extremely explosive.
In addition, the film also has a variety of tank battles, such as tank ambush battles, tank attack and defense battles, tank guerrilla warfare, tank night street battles... Non-weapons and war film lovers can feel that rush of blood.
The third is awe-inspiring, echoing the "awesomeness" mentioned at the beginning of this article, mainly manifested in the sympathy of the two male protagonists, and there is a feeling of being born and born.
Three of the plots are very moving, the first is that Jaeger found his old rival Nikolai in the prisoner of war camp, Jaeger's excited hands were shaking, his eyes lit up, and in the later exercise discussion, he even excitedly chatted about each other's names.
In the second place, Jaeger climbs out of the tank cabin, takes off a glove and throws it on the ground, which is the signature action of the modern European gentleman's duel, and if the other party picks up the glove, he is willing to accept the duel.
At the end of the third, on the bridge, Jaeger was about to fall on the tank, he took the initiative to extend a hand, Nikolai thought that the other party wanted him to pull a hand, but unexpectedly, Jaeger refused his pull, just wanted to shake hands with him.
If this plot is handed over to Hollywood to shoot, it will definitely be conspiratorial, such as Nikolai saving Jaeger, and the sinister enemy taking the opportunity to counterattack and kill Jaeger.
The reason why the film is designed in this way fully expresses that they do not hate their opponents, but just stand on two opposite sides, each performing their own duties, and the awe index is explosive, which is also the most eye-catching touch of anti-war.
< h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > the end</h1>
Finally, you must sigh, is "Hunting T34" really made for $10 million? It is simply a bit bizarre, fans who are accustomed to watching all kinds of ground combat, air combat, naval warfare, may wish to also enjoy this tank battle.
I believe that with the blessing of 3D special effects, you will definitely be boiling with blood, and can't help but shout: "Hunt T34" Ulla! ”
