Featured review
FOREWORD
So "28 Panfilov's" came out. Only 1.700.000$ in budget. For a start, i'm very sorry for bad English, but i trying, because never teaching in school (in my school in city - only German language), only in internet (films, games, forums, without teacher, i hope you will forgive me). I have not seen such a realistic film about the Great Patriotic War, filmed in modern Russia. But what is really there, the normal film about this war we have, in fact, and not removed. "Brest Fortress" stands out, of course, but it is not quite realistic - after all the drama and all the love stories are present there. In the "28-Panfilov," all this is not a realistic film to the limit, and this will please any fan of military history, like me. I very much awaited release of the film, and believed in him. It wanted to get it to something stirred up the people, the hope of a good movie appeared, the fact that such films can be done for little money, giving a soul into his work and solid professionalism.
Today, finally, went to the movies and after watching I can safely say - the film was a success, he came out exactly the way he expected. If you live in USA, for example, and you want to watch no Hollywood film - enjoy! Later, creators give this film for free (for all), maybe without English subtitles, but i hope somebody can to create this for you!
STORY AND ACTORS
Not by chance, these two points are together. In the film, the action and the characters are so laconic dialogues are interwoven with each other, that one and a half hour movie fly by unnoticed. Heroes - not idiots cardboard, ready to rush to recess screaming, but real, living people with their characters and points of view. Can and make a joke, and "for the tactics talking" and friend to cheer - all without screams, panic, or any other devilry, and on a normal, living language - these people believe and they are going through.
For a long time I have not seen such a lively acting. The film is not shot no one famous actor that is also likely to play into the hands. And yes, the actors are very alive in their dialogues believe, and some to pull out there do not smell.
War - a war, it is in the film is simple, no frills, pressing, breaks, clanging "tracks" of tanks and pressed into the viewer's chair in the bombings. The film takes several days and includes a piece of peace (in the context of military operations and the German offensive on Moscow) life, preparing for battle and the fight itself.
Take the example of the 28 Panfilov, Russian creators of films - that's how you need and nothing else.
In the film, no gram of pathos, a single gram. It commander for soldiers - concise and clear, the political instructor - imagine! - Not screaming, not shoot in the back, and generally behaves like a normal person who is experiencing for themselves, for their country and their homeland, for their fighters.
SOUND
The sound in the picture is gorgeous. He is not just good, it masterpiece, not afraid of the word. In the film, the sound of it, the way it should be in these paintings - or not to pass on what people feel, sitting in the trenches under artillery fire. If a shell falls - there is a clear understanding that falls something that can kill you - a large and deadly. If the bullet is beating on the surface - do you believe that this is a bullet and not a dragonfly or (sic!) Spider. If riding a tank, the roar of its engine runs through your insides. All at the highest level, bravo! Once again, thank you Gaijin.
MUSIC
She deserves a separate paragraph. For the first time in a long, long time, music from the movie I remember: it is different, it emphasizes the stage helps the narrative, makes worry about the characters. As an example cite the scene where he first showed relatively peaceful preparation for combat, heroes joke, cheer each other, the audience feels it - and then again! - There is an abrupt change of the frame, show the Germans - tanks, soldiers, artillery - the tireless German power in general, which playfully pulled down half of Europe. And at the same time frame, changing music, it comes to the viewer that it is moving to the position and what it all might end (before the Germans did not show in the frame), - no small role in this understanding has played just the same music.
In total, this is the best the best that has been written for the Russian cinema.
EFFECTS
Here help "Gaijin", the creators of online game about the war - "War Thunder" (Free-to-Play).
From a technical point of view, the film is based on the level of the American cult films about the war, or the eerie "Purgatory" Nevzorov. Fighting, shelling, the technique itself - all realistic, nowhere reproach. Fantastic light, traces of great tracks, great smoke, everything is done on a professional level, and it is for so little money that the guys spent on film! Here, nothing to complain about, with commuter graphics all in the end became even more realistic.
Without Russophobia, no propaganda, no policy, no desecration of the Soviet or Hitler regime. Everything that you feel - this is how simple guys, men, faced with such a choice, never for a moment doubted that it be done.
