The dawn here is quiet. Film review.

Through memory and contrast, the film describes the disaster story brought by the war to a generation.

1942, Captain Vaskov led some female antiaircraft gunners to guard a remote railway station. After the war broke out, in order to cover the big army, confuse and involve the main force of the German army, Captain Vaskov and five female soldiers attracted the German army, weaving in wasteland, swamp and weeds, and fighting hard on the line of life and death ... Suddenly a female soldier was swallowed up by the swamp ... Suddenly another female soldier was shot in the cold wind, and suddenly ... They longed for their happiness, missed their lovers and recalled their sweet past, but they all fell down one by one.

Among the war movies adapted from the novels of the former Soviet Union, besides Chabaev, there is also Dawn is Silent here directed by 1972 Rostovski. It can be said that this novella written by Vasiliev might not be so noticeable without the worldwide sensation of the film "The Dawn is Quiet Here". However, without the ideological and artistic achievements of the original novel, there would be no success of the film.

As we all know, the sacrifices suffered by the Russian people in World War II were extremely heavy, and they lost more than 20 million lives. The Silent Dawn here will show us five living people among more than 20 million people, which also shows an important feature of Russian war literature: the concern for individual life.

"The Dawn is Quiet here" also has a concrete prototype of life, but in real life, the five soldiers who died on the bank of Wobi Lake in May 1942 were all male soldiers, and the novel author Vasiliev renamed the male soldiers female soldiers, sharply proposing the conflict between "war and women".

The touching power of the film mainly comes from its authenticity. The author of the novel, Bao Vasiliev, the director Rostosky and the photographer V Shumski all participated in the Great Patriotic War and had real feelings for the war. 1992 In the spring, when Rostovski was giving a lecture at the Beijing Film Academy, he once said: 1922, like him, only 3% of people survived this war. He is one of the lucky ones in this 3%, but he lost a leg and later installed a prosthetic, so he is a second-class disabled soldier. He didn't set foot in movies until after the war. His films include Land and Man, Standing in the Wind and Waiting for Monday. He was a judge of the 2nd (1995) Shanghai International Film Festival and participated in the 3rd (1997) Shanghai International Film Festival as a guest.

Through this film, director Rostosky discovered a group of new actresses. Although these young actresses who played female soldiers did not participate in the Great Patriotic War, they felt the atmosphere of the Great Patriotic War with the help of the original authors, screenwriters, directors and photographers who personally participated in the war, thus truly recreating the image of their predecessors. Today, Yi Shevchuk, who plays Lida, and O Osterloh Umova, who plays Rania, are both famous actors.

Silent Dawn is an immortal work.

For our readers and audiences in China, Vasiliev is far less famous than his work The Dawn is Silent here. From 65438 to 0969, The Dawn is Quiet here was published in the Soviet Youth magazine, which caused a great sensation among Soviet readers. 1972, the novella Encounter Gossip was put on the screen by director Rostovski, and it was a worldwide success. The film won the 1973 Venice International Film Festival Memorial Award, the Oscar nomination award and the All-Soviet Film Festival Award. With the success of this novel, Vasiliev's fame increased greatly, and the original novel was sought after and regarded as a classic in the history of world literature. Vasiliev himself won the Soviet National Award in 1975 for this work.

Through the combination of romanticism and realism, this novel tells the story of several Soviet female soldiers fighting against German invaders in World War II. 1942 In the early summer, a group of German paratroopers who tried to destroy the Soviet railway line met the female soldiers who were guarding there. Female soldiers Lida, Rania, Lisa, Sonia and Gallia died one after another, and the German army could not escape the fate of total annihilation. Female soldiers use their lives to guard the safety of traffic lines and the quiet dawn of Russian countryside. ...

No matter in China or Russian, the novella "The Dawn is Silent Here" is far less well-known than its movie of the same name. Mr. Gao Mang, the translator, said in the article "The Happiness of Writers" that during his visit to China in the summer of 1987, Vasilyev personally felt the China audience's love for "Dawn is Silent here". On the way to visit the Great Wall, every tourist Vasiliev met knew about this film. While eating in a restaurant, Vasiliev asked a waitress if she had seen The Dawn is Silent here. The waitress said emotionally, "I've seen it twice! I was moved to tears! " Then I began to talk about my feelings about the film. Vasiliev was attracted by the waitress's vivid expression and voice, and could not help but shed tears of excitement. He said to Mr. Gao Mang, "You don't need to translate, I know everything!" Faced with such a touching scene, the Soviet poet Kugultinov was deeply moved: "There are some famous writers in the world, but people seldom read their works. Poor writer like this! There are some famous books in the world, but few people know who their authors are. Such a writer is happy! You, Vasiliev, are really a writer! You deserve to be proud! "

It can be concluded that many readers and viewers in our country still don't remember that the author of Silent Dawn here is Vasiliev, but few people haven't seen the movie and TV series of the same name. In 2005, the TV series of the same name, which was co-produced by China and Russia to commemorate the 60th anniversary of the victory of the world anti-fascist war, was deeply loved by audiences in both countries.

When the reporter saw this Soviet film for the first time on 1979, Sino-Soviet relations had not been thawed. However, the teachers of the Russian Language and Literature Department of Peking University dare to praise this "internal film" that has not yet been lifted. It is said that this film has obtained a political pass, but some pictures of men and women making out are still difficult for China audiences to adapt to, so it can only be shown internally.

A literature professor commented in class: Isn't there some "basic actions of love" in the movie? It should be publicly displayed. In fact, Silent Dawn here is one of the most important "hundred movies" that accompany many people in China to grow up, and it is the emotional experience and life scene in the minds of many people in China. It is from this work that people realize and feel the romantic feelings and heroism of Russians.

Silent Dawn here is an anti-war film, but it is not limited to this. It has no special effects, no visual impact, no ups and downs, but it can give people a strong shock and make people "have a revolution in the depths of their souls." Yes, the film profoundly exaggerates the cruelty and ruthlessness of the war, but at the same time, it writes the indomitable heroic people and praises the obligations and responsibilities of citizens. It writes the deepest and most essential thing in human nature-beautiful and delicate young women should enjoy the idealism and passion of life when the country is in danger. The film condemns the war and shows the misfortune it brings to human civilization and personal happiness. However, the film expresses the hero's love and patriotism for a better life through the suffering and pain of war. War not only destroyed beauty, but also made it more touching.

Some people say that in "The Dawn Here is Silent", Vasiliev calls on modern people's noble feelings and the impulse to surpass themselves with "the tragic beauty of poetry". Perhaps such comments only express kindness and poetry in human nature. Anyway, Vasiliev is worth reading, not only his "The Dawn is Silent Here" or "Don't Shoot the White Swan". Vasiliev's works, such as Not on the List and Later War, are also full of profound thoughts and warmth of human nature.
