Russia is a country where they love the military genre, and this is understandable - we have been attacked more than once and each time we have come out victorious. So why not make a war movie about this? Russia will surely watch it with the whole country. And 2013 was no exception. After all, our cinema is famous all over the world for its interesting works. Here are the world-famous “They fought for the Motherland”, and “Only “old men” go into battle”, where the “old men” are 20-year-old guys. These films are many years old, but they continue to be watched by different generations of viewers. Of the latter, more modern, everyone loved the two parts of the Back to the Future tape, where the main characters ended up in the past. This is a great war movie! Russia all over the country watched it in cinemas.
"Death to spies." Shockwave
2013 has pleased us with good series. One of them is "Death to Spies". The plot is tied to the fact that the Germans sent spies to the Soviet rear to steal very important documents. Of course, we need to prevent this. But the briefcase still disappears, and the fighters do not have much time left to return it. Only our heroic deedsguys will save the Motherland!
The film is very addictive, the time flies quickly after watching, because military series are almost the favorite genre of Russians. Moreover, the atmosphere here is at a high level.
Alexander Pashutin, Alexey Serebryakov and Nikita Tyunin perfectly performed their roles.
Kill Stalin
One cannot fail to mention another excellent series of 2013 - "Kill Stalin". From the title you can guess what will be discussed. At the very beginning of the Great Patriotic War, there is an "absentee confrontation" between two intelligence systems - Soviet and German. The main goal of the Nazis is the death of Stalin. Personally, Adolf Hitler created this plan, because he was sure that the death of the leader would decapitate the USSR. But our fighters will prevent this!
Mikhail Porechenkov and Alexander Domogarov did an excellent acting job in the film.
Stalingrad
If we take the past year, it is primarily remembered for the work of Fyodor Bondarchuk "Stalingrad".
Japan. Nowadays. A team from the Ministry of Emergency Situations from Russia is conducting an operation to rescue several people left under the ruins of a building that collapsed as a result of an earthquake. In order to somehow distract the unfortunate, an elderly Russian rescuer tells the story of his life. And she is.
Stalingrad. 1942 The main plot line revolves around the defense of a residential building standing in the way of German troops. In order to delay the advance of enemy forces for some time, a reconnaissance group is sent to the house, where a surprise awaits them: people still live in the house. More precisely, one girl andburied right there, in the courtyard of the house, her relatives and neighbors. The further action of the film takes place in this small area, limited by two or three houses and courtyards between them.
Against the backdrop of hostilities, we observe the relationship that develops between the fighters and the only surviving girl Katya.
At the same time, we are also shown the enemy camp, located not far from the house where our reconnaissance group settled. The role of the antagonist to our scouts is played by the gallant colonel of the Wehrmacht, studded with awards and enjoying special honor from the high command of the German troops. He is tasked with destroying the house and clearing the way for the infantry.
New technologies
But let's leave the plot aside and turn to what allows us to classify this film not only as a "War movie (Russia)", but also to include it in the list of "Military blockbusters".
Meaning shooting in IMAX-3D format. We will not go into technical details, we will only say that it is much cooler than just 3D. To name just a couple of films shot in this format - and you will all litter. This is the leader of the world box office in 2011 "Avatar" and "The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey" - the leader of the box office in 2012. You can now judge for yourself the scale of the work done.
Many people are sure that this is how war films should be made. The Russia of 2013 is already different than it was 30 or 40 years ago. Now, in order to convey to people the idea of love, the idea of patriotism, you need more than a goodscript or good director.
Result
Russia can be proud of its military cinema. Only a few examples have been given in the article. If you dig deeper, it becomes clear how Russians love war films. Our three examples are proof of this!
Our country has a huge potential for filming such a category of cinema: “war films”. Russia should just be famous for such works!
