简介：导演:FrantisekVláci主演:KaterinaIrmanovová/AnnaPitasová/KarelSmyczek制片国家/地区:Czechoslovakia语言:捷克语上映日期:1960-11-04片长:Germany:68分钟/Czechoslovakia:76分钟又名:TheWhiteDoveIMDb链接:tt0175743 一个生病的小男孩和一只受伤的鸽子的故事。法兰提塞·维拉席（战国英豪）的处女作。 小白鸽电影网友评论：孩子可残忍可仁爱,他们是混沌,是需要被雕塑的,艺术家则稍反常态地充当了教育家的角色;构图意识确实强到了把银幕边缘当做画框的程度,长镜头中也总是精心地从一个构图过渡到另一个构图,色调和图形有版画的风格,非同寻常的典雅,而且喜欢玩镜子和玻璃;小男孩的有些段落的影调和情绪令人联想到《假面》圆不完的梦，宅不住的心。十字架电影，一者大海一者森楼的横纵构架契如国内某纪录片《沙与海》。放飞白鸽的瞬时之美，鸽笼俯拍全景若抽象之梦。露台铁扎人。禁足男孩&困室之鸽。非常规倒拍睡姿。海面奔走的超现实全景契如绍拉手掀海水的遐思。鸽子逐日印画。无脸的男孩雕塑。PS：透明的纯镜头叙事。维拉席真乃构图大师，极具形式感的几何线条，勾勒森楼林立的城市公寓外形边缘，压迫局促感扑面而来，恰是小男孩孤寂心情写照，与之成对比的是驻足等候在一望无垠海边的少女；一个简单事件被拍得诗意横生，黑白光影鲜活明媚，几个略超现实的隐喻镜头真美；配乐过满。够简单的一个故事，却被导演拍得非常的深情和有深意。我可以感受到有一种内心渴望自由却被禁锢了的声音好像被表达得那么真实、那么迫切。被身体禁锢的小男孩就像那只困室的小白鸽，有着翅膀却不能飞翔，有着双脚却不能行走。好在，结局还是很圆满的。困于高楼林立孤独封闭的城市男孩，沉溺梦想忧郁守候的海边女孩，虽不曾蒙面，却因象征自由飞翔的白鸽牵引两段纵横交错的心灵互相救赎逃出周围无形之网束缚的故事。鸽子们是海洋尽头的碎片穿过风修补着人们破碎的灵感破碎的关系破碎的肉体破碎的心没有一镜多余没有一镜不爱另：海边姑娘苏珊娜的梦醒片段犹如布努埃尔一个简单的故事被导演拍得诚挚动人，白色信鸽串联海边女孩的等待，轮椅男童的改变，镜头的运用，画面的构图，不敢相信这是导演的处女作。4.铅尘的沉重感，线条层次感，符号化，美感出众。垂直仰上的镜头，或许是因为周围高楼的陪衬下，天空就像井口，白鸽在努力挣脱。雖然有點小題大作，而這樣大作也不見得有什麼必要，畢竟象徵主義扣在這故事上，不免有些做作，但影像跟電影感的掌握都太好了！蒙太奇，图像性，摄影，配乐都很不错。无字幕看的，剧情其实应该很简单了。毕加索马蒂斯，作为艺术家的爸爸（？）摄影与构图美轮美奂，艺术家的作画真是美到了极致。结尾小男孩放飞了小白鸽，可小白鸽能否找到守望的小女孩呢？战国英豪导演的处女作，男孩仰望伤愈飞翔的白鸽，渴望自由。男孩女孩，垂直水平。大量倾斜构图，无脸雕像。

简介：MikhailRommdiedbeforehewasabletocompletethefilm.HisformerstudentsElemKlimovandMarlenKhutsievfinishedthefil 我仍然坚信电影网友评论：米哈伊尔·罗姆遗作，几个爱电影人士把未完成素材补完，成为惊艳当时的杰作。20世纪影像大展会，纪录了主义，大事记，行动，游行等各种影像，赤裸裸呈现20世纪乱象，用最后20分钟思考和人文主义精神坚信这世界会变美好，也引出我们到底是怎样把他们变成坏孩子。共产主义革命深深影响外国人对此认知。20世纪，人类的疯狂与迷乱。科学技术与物质消费迅猛发展，人们弹冠相庆忘乎所以，欲望无限膨胀，导致二次大战爆发，各种高科技带来的负面影响如大气污染、核战争、人口爆炸等。战争停息却无法弥合给人类心灵带来的重创，对人类自身存在意义的反思，爵士乐、毒品滥用、存在主义的兴起。还好有爱来挽救。未完成的纪录片也可以是伟大的，如同那些伟大的未完成的小说。毛是二十世纪唯一让西方人崇拜的中国人，虽然这或许只出于心不在焉的误读。当二十世纪初人们（显然主要指西方）沉浸在和平中时，一战爆发。当新一代人淡忘对一战的记忆时，二战开始。世界大战总会来到的，否则生产这么多武器又是为了什么？[254]姚大鈞式的“二十世紀音樂錯亂”和除蘇聯以外的世界史影像的集合體。每一分鐘都展現了蘇聯電影工作者的普世人文情懷。胡茨耶夫和克裡莫夫接手完成老師羅姆的遺作，這也是一種精神的傳承。（手頭上的版本是內嵌意大利文字幕……）看这个就又有点明白为什么契诃夫说《樱桃园》《三姐妹》是喜剧，因为他的内心真的充满了乐观。即使现实世界叫人根本无法乐观起来，结尾的“我们”每一个定格的生活瞬间，“我们”依然在生活。（还有契诃夫和托尔斯泰的合照）本片是将许多现成的珍贵影像资料剪辑而成，展现了20世纪前3/4岁月的世界百态，影片的立意还是积极向上的。另一可贵之处是影片后半有近半个小时都是有关中国的，而且这些影像如今已不常见，这点很可贵。所以开头说这是导演对这个世界的认识，到底是啥呀，除了鲜活的影像本身和苏联人拿手的剪辑，电影只是在重复任何一本正统的历史书都会展现的概念，空有悲悯与忧虑，无益于更理解世界。从没见过这么幽默的悲哀感，幽默的泪水和轰击感。古典乐与右翼非常对路子，看得我虽然不喜极右，却热血沸腾和大脑麻木，螺旋和上升、救赎与冲刺感。瓦格纳事件可想而知。高速运转的蒙太奇编织出光怪陆离多灾多难的20世纪，但即使明日灭亡，信念依存，或许这就是人类不屈的命运。20世纪，种族主义，法西斯主义，帝国主义，革命是什么？幸福是什么？和平是什么？20世纪影像集。如果不是少量的俄文和旁白，其风格还真像失衡生活和天地玄黄。佳片!絕對是佳片!我依然相信...人生就是這樣...而且還會如此繼續下去!

语言：俄语
年代：未知
简介：根据瓦吉姆·柯热夫尼科夫同名长篇小说改编，描写伟大卫国战争期间看不见的战线上敌我殊死的斗争，歌颂苏联国安英雄不朽的功勋。 影片一共四集，名字分别是： 1.无权做自己Безправабытьсобой 2.奉命活下去...Приказановыжить… 3.不得申诉Обжалованиюнеподлежит 4.最后的界线Последнийрубеж 故事大意： 1939年，苏联国家安全委员会侦察员亚历山大·别洛夫化名约翰·魏斯，随同党卫军要员的侄子海因里希·施瓦茨科普夫由拉脱维亚移居德国，经过一番周旋当上了谍报局老牌特务施泰因格利茨的司机并长期潜伏下来... КГБ侦察员别洛夫同志建立了如下功勋： 在德军入侵苏联前夕发出警报； 在波兰组织地下小组展开武装斗争； 策反海因里希，使之成为反法西斯战士； 破坏德军情报部门派遣特务去苏联的计划； 打入法西斯德军保安处，担任秘密信使； 揭露英美与希姆莱秘密谈判、企图单独媾和的阴谋； 第三帝国灭亡前夜，破坏法西斯分子灭绝集中营、杀害战俘的计划； ... 电影主题曲《祖国从哪里开始》的风格与惊心动魄的剧情形成强烈反差，它节奏舒缓，曲调轻柔，歌词中每一个字都包含着苏维埃侦察英雄怀想远方祖国的赤子之情。 盾与剑/剑与盾电影网友评论：男主的表演较生硬，连与母亲重逢都板着脸--扬科夫斯基那副雅利安面孔倒很适合演海因里希。结尾别洛夫伫立在马路中央，他再也不必伪装成约翰·魏斯，却也没为胜利欢呼，结束了六年与豺狼为伴的双重生活让他感到孤独，这种感觉来得快，消失得也很快除了最后一集每集都看困过去。最后抵抗组织自报国籍职业和用各种语言救战俘时很感动。海因里希的心理还有一些呈现，别洛夫的丰富而复杂情绪基本没有机会表达，主要还是表演和情节设置上的问题。主题曲依然伤感风，结尾安排真苏联?。看过的最难看的二战片。故事情节完全无法通过镜头语言体现；演员表演从头到尾表情不变；排场差；最后，里面女人的发型全都丑到惊世骇俗谁有字幕求一个……下载的英文字幕很多错和遗漏不知道什么文翻译的文法都不通的这5个小时看得煎熬啊……剑与盾(1968).第一集又一个施季里茨似的人物，深入德核心高层，为祖国递送情报！魏斯太美貌了，电影结局比书还坑爹，这是人干的事吗。。。被迷得晕头转向ING……导演结尾拆CP不HD！！！嗯，你们苏联间谍总是多才多艺的，你说是就是吧3.5Stars萌点已烂逻辑
