A Review of Russian Film tank battle

This is not an ordinary war movie. I have to say, it's just a war movie that touches struggle for existence's "grand strategy", two peoples. This is an obvious political fable. Similes and metaphors refer to flying all over the sky, and even naked propaganda and preaching are thrown directly in the face of the audience. Although he inherited the boredom of Russian film tradition, he got on the bus of "author film" in modern Europe. Because of the director's enthusiasm, he pulls whatever he likes. All structural narratives are rolled up, and only the central idea is always the focus. The lens language is very powerful, but to fully understand it, you need Russian/German and China's World War II geek man show, and you need to know a little about Germany and Russia.

My favorite scene is the first time that the white tiger appears from the perspective of a major (intelligence officer). In the quiet Woods of Eastern Europe in spring, I woke up from a nap in a trance, and the behemoth appeared silently. The huge muzzle flame arrester of the Tiger 88 gun stands upright, just like the overgrown glans pointing at T34' s chrysanthemum. Then Wagner's grand music began. The feeling of this nightmare is quite successful. What the White Tiger is is self-evident here: German force, German desire to conquer, the same insecurity as German obsessive-compulsive disorder, and the eternal nightmare of Russians. Wagner knew enough that it was a great failure to arrange for the captured SS to say in vernacular that "White Tiger is the fighting spirit of our Germans". If you want to play the author's film, you can't take into account Xiao Bai's acceptance. The director will make this mistake again and again.

Now let's skip to the end and talk about the lens of the Fuehrer. Some people say it's a "luxury villa", others say it implies that Hitler didn't die in World War II, and the director will vomit blood. It's not a luxury villa, but "Varhala", a temple in Germanic mythology where the souls of soldiers live forever after death. The naked girl on the screen is Valkyria, a mythical warrior in Varhala. The huge mural behind it, full of war elephants, is the war scene of Alexander's conquest of India and the ultimate model of European "superior culture" conquering the East. The Fuehrer's guest is a Jew. His suit, hair and glasses are too Jewish to be Jewish. The Fuehrer also made it very clear. The political preaching in this paragraph is outrageous. In order to jointly deal with Russia, Hitler did not hesitate to befriend the Jews he hated most (in fact, "I love Jews"), saying that Russia is the greatest evil and is no longer a European (Germany has been promoting that Russia has become a semi-barbaric nation under the great influence of the Mongols in Central Asia). After muttering about national superiority and superman philosophy for a while, the Jewish glasses at the end of the film reflect light and gradually disappear into the fog, which is a clumsy way to express "conspiracy"

Russians hate Jews just as Germans hate Jews, or Russians hate Germans, or Germans hate Russians. In the history of anti-Semitism and anti-Semitism, Russia's misdeeds are far deeper than Germany's, but second only to Germany when World War II broke out. Even after World War II, when Jews turned over and Germans pretended to be grandchildren, the Soviet Union continued to expel Jews. At the end of the film, in the climax of the director's nationalist dream, two sworn enemies put aside their differences and colluded together to prepare to dig a hole for Russia again. This is a bit too naive and persecutory, which is extremely out of harmony with the deep tone of the whole film. The director jumps out to preach in a fable film, which is to dig a hole for himself.

Flirting with the Fuehrer like this, I feel sorry for his paranoia. But another flirtation with the Germans in the film is wonderful. I laughed anyway. After signing the surrender, three German officers ate, acting like a classical Prussian aristocrat and being very picky about wine. As a result, three ice creams hit them, and several old hats were never eaten. This is also the director's summary of Germany's second defeat. Strawberry ice cream is not a Russian product, but a representative of American material culture. Germans show their sense of national superiority all day, playing with spiritual atomic bombs, which the west can't do materially, and are crushed to death by American manufacturing.

I'll finish the director's "explicit preaching" mistakes first-I'm tired of them because there are too many. The most explicit place is the last appearance of the "Crazy Saint" oil tanker, saying that if it comes out in too many years, I must destroy him. This is the Russian people's naked distrust of Germany after World War II, and they are always afraid that one day German revanchism and rammstein will make a comeback. This passage is meaningless, and it is even more boring to play until it disappears at the end. However, before this period, on the streets of Berlin, the scene of German soldiers laying down their weapons and marching was very NB. Have you seen the penultimate episode of Brothers Company? The American general looked at the long ranks of German prisoners of war and said with emotion that this army was swaggering even if it was defeated and surrendered. This long shot in "White Tiger" is the best interpretation of the martial tradition of "swaggering" Russians who are afraid of Germans. They are really scared to the bone. How deeply they understand!

Speaking of "crazy saints", this is a deep tradition of Russian mysticism. Russians have always believed that some grassroots, half-crazy-looking, duplicitous people have the nature of telepathy. In fact, they are saints who walk on earth to lead the Russian people to do great things, equivalent to the Messiah in the Bible. Because Russians are influenced by Shamanism, this tradition has always been popular among the Russian people. There are countless little crazy saints, and the influential big crazy saints are pugachev and rasputin. Even a figure like zhukov would grab a handful of soil and smell it before the war, and then tell his subordinates about his prediction of the battle, and their subordinates would be as helpful as God. The Xiao Qiang tank warrior in White Tiger is a typical crazy saint. The director just promoted the Russian spirit of war to him. 90% was resurrected by burning blood-Russia was bombed by Germany in 194 1, and wiping its ass was another hero. His face is naive and his voice is naive. He doesn't remember what he did before, only that he was stung by a white tiger. Name doesn't matter (it doesn't matter whether the surname is Russian or Su), wife and children don't matter (it doesn't matter what level people live in, whether they are happy or not), what matters is to fight rammstein to the end.

Hitler didn't mean that Russia has always been Central Asia, not European civilization, so he simply got a Central Asia (standard Mongolian face) in the tank trio and took a standard Russian name. What about you?

In the tank battle in a muddy village, the director was most saddened by the pit on the last road. The Russian god of war fell in, got stuck in mud, blasted the gun bore, and let the burning white tiger run away. At the World War II spoils sharing conference, the Soviet Union always suggested giving Germany the severest punishment, destroying its industrial base and turning it into an agricultural country. As a result, the western powers learned the lesson of World War I, not for the purpose of punishment, but to support the reconstruction of Germany. This is probably the pit. In fact, Russia's claim has been partially realized. East Prussia (the other is Bavaria), one of the two cradles of Germanic spirit, was completely divided by Russia and Poland after the war, and East Germany was held hostage by the Soviet Union for decades. If it hadn't been for the beginning of the Cold War, the Soviet Union would need East Germany as a sample of socialist superiority, which might really be agriculture.

Now that Germany and Germany are unified, Germany has become the leader of Europe. How can a great Russian ultra-nationalist like the director not be deep, melancholy and mysterious?

This is the end of the interpretation. By the way, from the perspective of military fans (in fact, this is the detail of the film). The German tanks in the film are all modified from Russian tank chassis, and the chassis of White Tiger is JS-2. The gun is a real Tiger 88 gun. Turrets and bulletproof vests are probably made of simple materials, especially the front guard plates of the tracks. Tigers certainly don't have that shape The shooting speed of the white tiger is for fun. When you see the white tiger beating Xiao Qiang repeatedly, if you are a military mini, you should understand that this is not a World War II movie. The Soviet equipment in the film is real. No other country can match that row of sous-152.

The small details on the uniform are very careful. It is a fact that the submachine gun held by the intelligence personnel is the German MP-40. In the late World War II, the Soviet military appreciated MP-40 very much and distributed the captured guns to some officers and elite troops as protective melee weapons. It is also true that the camouflage uniforms worn by intelligence personnel are American. In 1944, the United States began to follow the example of Germany in mass production of camouflage uniforms and supplied them to the Soviet Union.
