Russian movies, no matter what theme, background and story, vividly show and restore the connotation of Russian culture and the national character of this ancient nation. Therefore, Russian films are labeled as culture. Through movies, we see the qualities of this nation-broadness, broadness, boldness, perseverance and self-improvement. Let's talk about the Russian cultural characteristics reflected in the film. 1, strong patriotic feelings: In "The Dawn is Quiet Here", when five female soldiers heroically sacrificed their flower-like lives, each of them showed fearlessness, courage and glory, which made me cry. I will never forget that scene. Genoa sang songs and shuttled through the jungle to deal with German soldiers. Her courage to face the enemy, and the corners of her mouth still raised when she fell, show us not only the great patriotic feelings of this character, but also the childlike innocence of countless Russians. It is also unforgettable that in The Fearless General Colta, the poor people at the bottom of Russia kneel in the snow, swear allegiance to the Russian nation in the howling Siberian cold wind, and approach the enemy with flesh and blood to resist bullets in the battlefield where ammunition is exhausted. At this moment, I forgot politics, and only the Russian people's belief in this national life stirred my heart.
2. Perseverance and self-improvement: In Moscow Don't Believe in Tears, Katrina didn't feel depressed when she suffered a double blow from her love career. With extraordinary perseverance, she overcame the difficulties of life and finally ushered in the spring of life when she entered middle age. Katrina's persistence is not a case, but it reflects the strong characteristics of this nation. The same quality can be seen in Veronica, the heroine of Wild Goose Flying South.
3. Other national characteristics, such as sympathy, humorous personality, optimism and respect and protection for women, can be reflected in Russian films.
Russian films truly reflect Russian culture and national character, making it a medium to spread and introduce Russian culture in a certain sense, and at the same time bringing distinctive national characteristics to the films. Second, Russian film materials
Russian films are rich in themes. If we trace the films back to the time when they came into being, we can easily find that many of them are actually based on the social background at that time. However, despite this, the film did not show too much political or commercial color because of it.
For example, Zhanov's The Story of the Office reflects the socialist social model, but it describes people's lives in this model from the perspective of a nobody, so it still maintains the consistent poetic and metaphorical characteristics of Russian films.
Secondly, some Russian films take famous historical events or historical figures as the theme to reproduce the social background at that time. However, it is worth noting that, unlike our current films' excessive distortion and exaggeration of history, Russian films have a serious attitude towards history. Take The Fearless General kolchak as an example. When the film tells the story of this character's life, it does not exaggerate any aspect, or even add artificial evaluation to this character, but objectively and truly reflects the history, leaving a lot of room for readers. Three, Russian film framing and music
I believe many people are deeply impressed by the vast Siberian virgin forest at the beginning of the movie "The Barber of Siberia". The lush coniferous forests on the endless plains are full of vitality, which makes people feel relaxed and happy. Such a unique Russian scenery is not uncommon in Russian movies. Whether it is muddy and cold swamps, dense virgin forests, snowing in the wind or the frozen Volga River, as well as the quiet and uninhabited Red Square and beautiful birch trees on the street, these unique scenery on the one hand plays an important role in setting off the plot of the film, on the other hand, it has become another label of Russian movies.
In addition to the real and touching plots, the classic Russian movies have an important similarity, that is, they are all equipped with very nice music. Alexandra, the theme song of Moscow Don't Believe in Tears, is a typical representative. This song is not only good to listen to, but also the lyrics are very close to the theme of the film, which has won more love for the film. "Everything is not born, and Moscow was not built in a day. Moscow doesn't believe it.
Words, but believe in love "lyrics with beautiful tunes, become another memory point of this film. Fourthly, the new development of Russian films.
With the appearance of the films "The Sun Watcher" and "The Night's Watch", we have seen the efforts of Russian films to pursue breakthrough and development. Strange scenes, unique stories, the use of special film techniques, bloody scenes and humorous dialogues all make us seem to see the shadow of Hollywood blockbusters. What's more worth mentioning is that these magic movies transform the illusory super-city background in Hollywood movies into the real scene of contemporary Moscow, and at the same time add Russian life details such as vodka, brown bread and LADA cars, which makes the movies different from ordinary Hollywood movies.
Of course, this is only the first step towards the revival of Russian films. Compared with the more mature science fiction films in the world, Russian-made films are still relatively immature. The plot is old-fashioned, too bloody, and at the same time it is suspected of relying on small tricks to gain gimmicks. However, in any case, this attempt is still a positive signal. It is believed that under the brilliant guidance of Soviet classic films, Russian films will find their way again and more good films with distinctive Russian characteristics will emerge. V. Thinking and Reference
On the other hand, I can't help feeling a lot about the domestic movies at present. I think one of the important reasons why China's domestic films are facing difficulties in the process of internationalization is that they don't face China. Of course, the so-called China is not just a martial arts action, nor a magnificent palace or expensive clothes, but should contain more cultural elements. Through the film, the profound culture of China for 5,000 years and the national characteristics of the Chinese nation are fully expressed. If these things
Being able to blend into all aspects of the film in detail will naturally bring unique national charm. And this is exactly what we should learn from Soviet movies.
On the other hand, the current domestic films are too commercialized. Relying on a strong star lineup to win eyeballs, winning gimmicks at the expense of distorting history, and investing huge sums of money to build old-school China films always seem too grandiose and obviously lack stamina. I have always felt that a film can truly fulfill its mission as a film only if it no longer depends on all external conditions such as stars, directors, funds and costumes. Why can't we try to treat movies as works of art and create poetic movies like Soviet movies?
To sum up, no matter how long the years have passed, Russian movies are like bright stars in the historical sky, with the special flavor of that era, leaving something called Soviet plot in the hearts of countless people. In my mind, Russian movies, like Pushkin's poems and Tolstoy's novels, touch people's souls, make people think and last forever.
