Recently, watching the Russian film of the former Soviet Union's Great Patriotic War "Decisive Battle Fortress Under the Siege of the City" again on the Internet, I still feel very wonderful, the more I watch it, the more intriguing it is, which can be described as a unique artistic appreciation and spiritual shock, worthy of looking back at the classic blockbuster of World War II. The film is based on the novel "Brest Fortress" created on a true theme, and its fortress soldiers and civilians are not afraid of the great powers, have the courage to resist, fight in blood, and the heroic spirit and sacrifice of the martyrdom are earth-shattering, weeping ghosts, and shaking mountains. If the epic war film "Here the Dawn Is Quiet" interprets the eulogy and the loyal soul of many Female Soldiers of the Soviet Army who fought to the death; then "Decisive Battle Fortress" interprets the tragic resume and singing of a group of Soviet tough guy warriors at the beginning of the Great Patriotic War, which is also worthy of the people's look and taste. This post is specially made, and this insight is used as a souvenir of the personal viewing film, discussing with netizens and expecting to teach.
- Contrasting war with a happy and peaceful life. The prologue of the film introduces the audience with a harmonious, warm and quiet scene, the ancient town of Brest, the fortress is full of joy and laughter. The sun-drenched battlefield hospital, the passionate music, the dashing dance of the soldiers, the sweet smiles of men and women, the cinema at night, the sweet embrace of men and women in love, the chase and play of children, the fishing by the lake of boys and girls... Time was frozen on June 22, 1941, suddenly, a large number of German aircraft and tanks rushed in, shells like thunderbolts on a sunny day instantly shattered this happy time and life, everywhere was filled with smoke, the building suddenly collapsed, people fled in all directions, the German army chased and strafed the crowd, the corpses were horizontal and vertical... It is this strong contrast and contrast that reveals the cruelty and ruthlessness of war and the passion of human nature, triggers people's deep thinking and reflection, and enthusiastically reproduces the patriotic sentiments and fearless heroism of the Soviet Union's Patriotic War more than 70 years ago.
------------------------ The whole film is based on the battlefield memories of a young trumpeter, Akimov. Because of the innocence and simplicity of minors, their psychological trajectories are more direct and true and flawless in the danger of war, and their views and observations on war are more objective and realistic. Therefore, from his initial doubts, incomprehensions and panic about the war to his gradual adaptation, calmness and courage, he undoubtedly showed the authenticity and objectivity of the history of this war. Akhimov, a teenager who can only blow a trumpet and has never touched a gun, at the brink of war, from the beginning of the search for his girlfriend Konya in the battlefield and ruins, to consciously acting as a battlefield messenger, crossing the rain of bullets and bullets, stepping through the wreckage of the fortress, straddling the hordes of corpses, bravely fetching water to thirsty soldiers, and conveying the order to break through the battlefield... What is particularly eye-catching in the film is his big eyes that are full of childishness and stubbornness. The cruelty of war and the catharsis of family affection have tempered and cultivated the heroic image of this special teenager, which makes people admire and admire.
------------------------ Due to the negligence of the Soviet command system before the war, the soldiers approached the Brest fortress under the city, the soldiers did not expect the war to suddenly come so suddenly, the soldiers in their sleep were chaotic and confused, the soldiers in the arsenal shouted that they could not issue weapons without the orders of their superiors, and the city defense only saw panicked soldiers and broken arms with broken bodies... "The roar of artillery fire shows the true colors of heroes", "there are no weak soldiers under the strong generals". Fu Ming, the political commissar of the regiment, was not in danger, boldly commanded, fired a warning shot, guided the soldiers to form a mixed wartime detachment to return to the fortress to fight against the Germans, and guided women, children, old and young to the basement to avoid air raids. Captain Kizhevatov, despite bidding farewell to his wife and children, returned to his command post at the fortress and returned fire with his soldiers, blocking the encirclement and suppression of the German ironclad heavy troops. At the most dangerous and fierce and crucial moment of the war, the decisive courage, awe-inspiring righteousness and command art of its commanders all condensed and inspired the soldiers' tenacious will and desperate spirit, and became the core center of this unit's resistance to the German army's attack and encirclement, which was admirable and tasteless.
------------------------ The whole film breaks through the traditional interpretation mode of Stalin, Zhukov and other big figures in classic war films with the main theme of the former Soviet Union, such as "Stalingrad Defense War", "Leningrad Defense War", "Conquering Berlin" and other classic war films, but focuses the lens on grass-roots commanders and fighters and ordinary people, so that the authenticity and watchability of this patriotic war extend to its depth and breadth. Enemy planes and tanks were rampant, attacking troops were surging forward, crowds were falling, corpses were strewn around, and soldiers turned from fear to anger, and there was no choice but to fight to the death. The field doctors and nurses scrupulously risked their lives to rescue the wounded; the wounded with gauze wrapped around their heads cranked the dynamo in their hands; the projectionist prisoner who was instructed by the German army to pick up the red army badge suddenly pulled the grenade and died with the German officer after seeing the body of his girlfriend Niria; the soldier's wife returned fire in self-defense with a gun; the young trumpeter also raised his pistol and shot at the enemy army... An isolated and besieged fortress fortress, a few Red Army teams that rushed to fight in the face of danger, a group of unarmed women, children, old and young, and the legendary stories of several families in the smoke of the flames and smokes, were brilliantly interpreted in this war, vivid and remarkable.
-- Dedicating oneself to war with national heroism. The Germans launched a blitzkrieg surprise attack, which overwhelmed the Soviet army and caused huge losses. Under the extremely disparity between the enemy and our forces, although the soldiers resisted the city and fought to the death, delaying the German army's attack for more than 30 days, the fortress was eventually lost, and most of the commanders and fighters of the Red Army were martyred. The Soviet officers and men of the fortress, who deserve praise and praise, fulfilled the sacred promise that "we are the Red Army, and we will not surrender even to death" until the last drop of blood is shed. Fu Ming, the regimental political commissar who commanded the newspaper, said, "Fortress call, fortress call, we are still fighting" In the end, some soldiers even fought with their bare hands against the enemy, many soldiers bravely sacrificed their lives for the country, the remnants of the Soviet army decided to stand out in the dilemma of holding out for many days, running out of ammunition and food, and lack of water and thirst, "knowing that they could not do anything", rather than being slaughtered by others, it was better to die in battle, the remnants of the Red Army squad that broke through in the middle of the night were even more tragic and tragic, and a large number of soldiers fell under the crazy strafing of the German army... The heroic and fearless feats of the commanders and fighters of the Soviet Army, preferring to die rather than surrender, highlighted the many tough guy elephants of Zheng Zheng's proud bones, interpreted their iron-blooded military souls, and all burst out of the dazzling, singable and weeping flowers of the Heroic Loyal Soul.
——Interpreting war with the humanity of family love. The film vividly shows the tragic and joyful clutches of several military families, the love of a couple of lovers, and even the profound and eternal theme of soviet commanders and fighters in "war and humanity". Fumin, the regimental commissar, commanded the Soviet army to save the doctors and civilians who had been held hostage by the Germans, and the dignity and calmness before they were captured; Captain Kizhevatov's strong affection for his wife and children, so that his family surrendered to survive and swore to resist; the couple of Soviet officers who shot the last bullet at their own rather than prisoners; the fat officers who danced in the battlefield to boost morale; the soldiers who played the accordion in the face of german strafing; and the end of the film on the verge of death. In order to save the lives of more than 200 women, children, and children, the commanders of the Red Army had no choice but to let them walk out of the fortress under a white flag, which was exactly the respect for life and humanity in the war, but the German army brutally killed all these women and children, which was really painful. The brutality of the war and the genocidal brutal killings of the German fascists in the film reveal its ferocious trampling on human nature. This scene of real war fragments is performed in full swing and wonderfully, which undoubtedly brings the audience a cold and profound shock and contemplation.
Reflection and enlightenment: There is no doubt that the film contains a very deep historical significance and practical significance and a strong artistic appeal, which is indeed worthy of reference and reflection by the Chinese people.
On the one hand, the film evokes people's awareness of national defense and war preparedness, inspires people to think and rise up as the creative motivation, and gives a lofty and profound artistic conception in the tragedy. In the film, we see that the Soviet army in the early stage of the war is completely unprepared for war, information support communication communication is lagging behind, its weapons and equipment are relatively backward, there is no tanks, artillery and other heavy fire support, in the face of German aircraft, tanks, artillery and infantry all-round raids, the Soviet infantry almost only passively beaten, although later commanders and fighters rose up to resist, heroically killed the enemy and even sacrificed their lives for the country, but the record is mediocre, powerless to change the enemy's strength and weakness, the decline of the battlefield of the fortress, do not want to happen the war defeat is unbearable to see, can not look back. Although in the end most of the Red Army defenders died or became German prisoners of war and the fortress was lost, the whole film shows a historical trend of temporary setbacks in the tragic victory of the Just Patriotic War. Through the disaster of war, it shows the bravery and wisdom of the commanders and fighters of the Soviet Army, the resistance and fighting of the Russian national integrity, and the sense of justice and indomitable excellent qualities that people show in the face of the evil forces. Obviously, the ideological capacity and artistic charm contained in this war blockbuster are broad, profound and intriguing. After all, the belief in justice, good character and human nature will purify people's hearts and cultivate people's sentiments. The tragedies of the Sino-Japanese War, the burning of the Yuanmingyuan and the Nanjing Massacre must not be repeated in our country. Our army has also suffered many major defeats and bitter lessons in its history. For example, the Red Army's West Road Army fought alone in the Hexi Corridor, the Battle of Kinmen Island, the 180th Division of the Volunteer Army, and so on, almost all of them were destroyed, unfortunately, they could not be shown in the form of panoramic film and television dramas, and if they were put on the silver screen, they would undoubtedly examine the history of the war and comfort the heroic souls, and the loyal souls of those martyrs who martyred themselves will surely stir the pulse of the times, send out shocking echoes, and encourage people to meditate, struggle, and advance in pain.
On the other hand, light enemies and backwardness will undoubtedly be beaten, and the bitter historical lessons of blood warn the Chinese people that we must devote ourselves to preventing problems before they occur, unswervingly speed up the process of national defense construction and strengthening the army through science and technology, and defeat all enemies who dare to invade. "The world is not safe, forgetting the war will be dangerous." Think of danger in times of peace, take precautions, be concerned about national defense, and strengthen the army with science and technology to win the war. At present, the ambitions of the US super-military powers to act as the world's police are constantly expanding, relying on military strength to intervene in other countries' internal affairs, and the speed of development of its modern high-tech armaments is not underestimated. The US authorities will also continue to do their utmost to implement the "return to the Asia-Pacific" strategy and the concept of "air and sea war"; the Japanese right-wingers' attempt to revive militarism is rampant, and they have passed a resolution in the cabinet to lift the "right to collective self-defense"; relying on the umbrella of the "US-Japan Security Treaty", they have carried out an illegal "island purchase" plan in an attempt to nationalize the Diaoyu Zhudao. The Taiwan independence forces headed by Tsai Ing-wen of the Democratic Progressive Party have revived in an attempt to carry out separatist acts and plots of "Taiwan independence." In fact, these many unstable military factors have posed a new threat to China's surrounding environment and territorial sovereignty. How to meet the world's military challenges, correctly handle the relationship between national defense construction and economic construction, promote the process of strengthening the army through science and technology, build a powerful new-type modern people's army, resolutely defend the motherland's territorial sovereignty, and smash the separatist acts of the Taiwan independence forces are testing the wisdom and ability of our country's leadership and the Chinese nation, and the times and the Chinese people call for the powerful motherland and army to always stand tall in the east of the world.
