 长篇影评

 1 ) 导演和演员采访 'Firebird': meet Director Peeter Rebane & Actor/Writer Tom Prior

Firebird is an epic Queer love story set in a tense Soviet Union. This unconventional film followed the romance of Sergey, played by Tom Prior, and Roman, played by Ukrainian hunk, Oleg Lobykin.

Set in the 1970's Cold War, Firebird is an incredibly stylish film. The visuals feel authentic and true to its setting. But surprisingly, there are bouts of action, adding more thrill to a story that is already anxiety inducing.

Another twist is that the film explores a love triangle between Roman, Sergey, and Roman's partner, Luisa- played by Diana Pozharskaya.

This part of the world has always been incredibly hostile to LGBT+ people. It is common to see an attempt to erase Queer people from the histories and identities of post-Soviet countries. From the 'LGBT free zones' in Poland; the Gay Propaganda Laws in Russia - to the toxic political discourse in Hungary - 'Firebird' is a symbol of Queer existence throughout history. It is a statement that Queer love is not a modern and Western construct, but it is imbedded in the fabric of humanity. And this piece of history- beautifully shown in the film- is a shining example that the #TheNewEastisQueer, and it always has been.

In this interview, the writer/lead actor, Tom Prior and director/writer Peeter Rebane talk about the true story of 'Firebird', its making, and what it was like to meet the real Sergey.

EAST: Where did you first meet each other?

TOM: I was doing some work in Los Angeles, and a film financier that I was meeting- by coincidence- mentioned that she heard about the story of Firebird- which was under a different name at the time- and promised to introduce me to Peeter. Then we basically connected and I read the script, and fell in love with it instantly. It was when the draft of the screenplay was at a very early stage, and that’s really where it began.

EAST: Peeter, when did you first discover the story?

PEETER: That was over 10 years ago. A friend of mine- who founded the ‘Black Nights Film Festival’ in Tallinn- she received the original story from a Russian journalist showing it around at the Berlinale, and she knew that I was looking for material for my first film. So I read it over a weekend at home, I literally cried and decided that I have to turn this into a film and then started writing for the first time ever.

EAST: ’The New East is Queer’ is a campaign to debunk the myth that Queer people don’t exist in Eastern Europe and Post-Soviet States. Yet here is a queer love story set in Soviet Russia. Were you conscious of this when deciding to make the movie? Did you feel a sense of duty to tell the story?

PEETER: Foremost, I was taken a back by the universal love story. I was also fascinated and really surprised when I read the original manuscript that such a relationship could have actually existed in the Soviet airforce. Then we went on to interview people who served in the Soviet military in the 1970’s and found out that many such relationships existed, and we were also fortunate enough to interview Sergey in Moscow. But at the same time I do feel also that it is important to share this story in light of the real horrors that are going on in Russia and especially in Chechnya today. It is important to remind people about the importance of love and how such relationships have existed throughout the ages.

TOM: For me its really important to share these messages. But we were very true when we said we made this film- not for political reasons- but for about love, love wins. Sergey’s character in the film is really about following his heart. There are terrible atrocities happening, but being able to make movies like this, we are effectively being that very change that we want to see in the world.

EAST: How was Roman cast?

PEETER: That was a really long process. We set a very clear intention to find the most authentic actors that are believable to the true story. So we did a world wide casting, and got 2,500 submissions for the role of Roman. For months we were casting in Europe and the UK, to Moscow. One day in Moscow, Oleg walked in the room and everyone was like: “That’s our Roman”.

EAST: How was it working with Oleg?

TOM: It was a really fascinating process as Peeter said. We just knew from the minute he walked in the room that it was right, this kind of presence. When you talk about casting in a film, you really are casting a person as you are a performer. He had this real presence and he was the nearest person that we felt was Roman, and so, our journey began. Because he is not a native speaker, at all, in fact he had a very small amount of English when we began the project. It has its challenges, and in some ways it actually helped, to a degree, because it meant that we couldn’t communicate as freely as we would, say in a modern day context in English- which serves the story in an amazing way. Because at the time there was no language around the subject matter. Today we are in a very liberal society where we can begin to scale that in a very easy and transparent way, but at the time there wasn’t that. So it bought a really interesting dynamic to the film. Working with Oleg was a real pleasure but it of course it had its challenges as well: cultural background differences, and things like that. But it was a really beautiful working relationship.

EAST: Tom, you were a writer as well as an actor in ‘Firebird’. How did this come about?

TOM: When Peeter and I met- and fell in love with the story- at that time we didn’t have the financing in place to make the film. So we made a teaser for the film, and the scenes that we selected for the teaser. I made some suggestions about how we might improve the script a bit, and the lines and the nature of the lines. I have a real sensitivity to being able to produce texts or language of how people actually speak- as oppose to how people one would think people speak- this is something I am quite sensitive to. So I made these few suggestions on how we might improve the script and that ended up several pages of notes and ended up as several weeks of work, which ended up being overall significant rewrites and redrafts and restructures- and doing lots and lots more research. Then by that point, the script was completely a different animal to what I first came to. So we took the strong elements of that and then imbedded in a lot more research.

EAST: Thats an interesting point. After stalking your Instagram its quite clear that you are a spiritual person and quite centred. Did these qualities help you in your writing or acting?

TOM: Most definitely. For me this project has been quite extraordinary, in the sense of the level of depth that I have been able to get to. Writing the content, for sure, is a whole other level as a performer. Then also meeting the real Sergey, we interviewed him in Moscow, we also very tragically went to his funeral. He passed away in the time that we were developing the story, and it was a very surreal moment for me, to be at the funeral of a person whose life you have extended in the literary form, and who you will play in real life. So there were very strong moments during the time filming that there was this awareness that Sergey was with us, or certainly the energy. For me, having a real level of emergence within the project meant that the emotion came easily, or the stream of conscienceless, lets say. It was very profound and beautiful for the opportunity to do that as a performer.

EAST: And when you met Sergey Fetisov, what were your impressions of him, and did these impressions influence the way you played or wrote about him?

TOM: Very much so. It was an honour to meet him, and he was so very full of heart. He was a very heart-led man. You could tell that he had such a sunny persona, and despite having had a lot of trials and tribulations in love, he was bold and happy. So I bought that level of following your heart, and that bounciness to the performance- where I could - without making it seem to out of context at the same time.

EAST: And for you Peeter, how was it meeting Sergey Fetisov, and did this impact the way you directed the film?

PEETER: As Tom said, he was an amazingly warm and heartfelt person, considering what he had gone through in his life, and how these experiences had made him loving and not hating. I think he definitely informed how we developed the character, and it was an amazing treasure trove speaking to him about actual details, like: what were their favourite pieces of music; what were their favourite foods; which music they would play to each other; which books would they read; which theatre plays they went to see. It all kind of built a world, and helped us to be very authentic in directing and staging the film.

EAST: Peeter, being from Estonia, was there anything about your heritage and personal identity that you bought to the project?

PEETER: Definitely, when I was a very young boy I still recall the Soviet occupation, and our summer house was actually the airforce base where this story takes place. I have this distinct memory of my friend being on this bicycle and these two MiG’s (Mikoyan-Gurevich) flying overhead at maybe 150 feet, and us literally falling off the bicycles because the noise was so deafening. So I have a very strong personal connection, besides having grown up with this feeling of shame about ones sexuality, having to hide your true identity, and the surrounding environment lacking understanding and being ignorant. So, a lot of parallels for me.

EAST: How much history is in the story?

PEETER: I think its, well I don’t dare to say 100%, but I think its 99% historically correct. The events happening, the small details of the airforce base, the setting, we really made our upmost to make a film that looks and feels like the 1970’s could have looked and felt like.

EAST: And there seems to be a big military presence in the film.

PEETER: From the directing perspective, we had amazing consultants. We had a retired airforce base, a retired Soviet airforce base commander, flight pilot, a person who worked in the command centre, who directed all the flights. We had a lot of people who literally went through the script, went through the dialogues, who were on the set with us, telling us to do it like this, or do it this way. We put trust in not making a Hollywood version of what someone envisages, but in thorough research.

TOM: The intricacy of the details is very particular, I mean, even when it comes to the radio announcements, and things like that, and the calling in’s to the planes and the lights from the command centre and everything- its all very accurate. We did the best research to our knowledge, to make sure that it was as real as possible, and the same really with the job titles, the job roles. The military consultants in particular were very useful and an intrinsic part of the training for the performance: the way we would walk; the hand salutes; all this military realism that actually happened, and making sure that the attention to detail- our costume department were really great around that also. So, the military aspects of the film, even this accident, there was an accident sequence within the film as well, which was in the original story, and I was absolutely adamant we had to put it into the film, to give it this military flare, instead of having it simply as a backdrop, but actually as an action sequence, this was really paramount and important to me, to ground it into the real world.

EAST: Any personal highlights from onset?

Peeter: I think for me one of the most amazing shots was the last shot of the film. Without giving away too much, it lasts about 1.5 minutes, and the camera is going into Sergey, and technically it was huge challenge for our team to pull it off, but also performance wise, for Tom to act out all the different emotions, truthfully, being surrounded by 50 or 60 extras, and knowing that we can’t cut, and that this is all real time, one very long take.

TOM: Its a very unforgiving shot, lets put it that way. I’m very proud of that moment, and what came through. It was one of those moments that I was speaking out earlier, where there was this profound connection. I started experiencing some very curious things, emotionally. It was like being show the end of ones life, but I was experiencing it in the real time, which was quite curious. For me, the highlight and more significant highlights of the film was really my personal growth. That to me is a huge success. As a measure of success, it challenged me emotionally, physically, spiritually, and now its a sort of standing point, as a physical manifestation of what one can achieve when there are so many odds against you and challenges and time limiting factors, and all those kind of things. So yeah, we can have a whole other discussion of that for the highlights. But we were so blessed, to have such a wonderful committed and loyal team who were willing to go way above standard hours, the commitment was astounding.

EAST: Peeter, did you learn anything about yourself personally or professionally during this project?

PEETER: Absolutely, first of all it was my first full length feature. I have done documentaries, but that’s a whole different game. Learning all the nuances of directing on the set of the feature, and actually doing a pretty challenging script. We shot in the air, under the water, in the baltic sea, staged Hamlet in theatre, staged the full production of Firebird, including costumes and choreography, dancers and sets- a lot of very specific scenes. It was very challenging and I had a lot of personal growth during this process, over the last couple of years.

TOM: I think for me also, as I mentioned, the physical challenges, the stamina, keeping up your health, mental clarity and sharpness through longer days, and resilience through that. Some days there would be, 5, 6, 7, 8 costume changes, multiple different set environments, we would have to change them very quickly as well. I would be sitting on the train, where we would shoot the train sequences, and moving from one emotional state to another, within minutes, and the whole world of the character has changed and gone upside down in that time. So, to be able to tune in to that energy, that emotional change very quickly, was really amazing. And to also play a lead in a film, there is this overwhelming pressure that you can put on yourself, and to scale that, was for me, a real joy and a real challenge, at times. To stay centred, to stay focussed, and to know what we have got to do and what we are there to do, and yeah, this was a really beautiful example of change and growth, and long hours, knowing that you can do it, and you have got to get through it.

EAST: How relevant do you think the story is for todays audience?

Tom: For me, the story is very relevant in terms of following your heart. We live in a world which is probably more divided than ever, with regards to health, with regards to beliefs and perceptions. It is a standing point for following your heart. Actually, if you choose to walk that path, its not necessarily going to be the easiest route, but its probably somewhat the most rewarding- in terms of being able to feel and develop as a person. The film is about following ones heart and ones desires against all the odds, and against the laws of the country and the environment in which somebody grows up in. I hope this is a standing point of inspiration to follow your heart, to love daringly, that would be my wish and hope for its relevance today.

EAST: Do you have any plans to show this to Eastern audiences?

Peeter: Absolutely, we will distribute the film across the world. We trust we will be at some festivals in the summer, also Autumn, late October- and end of the year we will have a wider distribution across the region. So, I guess we will see how the world is as we open, and depending on how much we will be in cinemas. But definitely, we will be on all major platforms across Europe.

'Firebird' premiered at the 2021 BFI Flare Festival on 17th March 2021 and is available to stream on the BFI Player until 28th March 2021.

 2 ) 天空中那飞翔的蓝色鸽子啊

电影是真实事件改编,所以,更令人哀痛无比。看完电影是深夜了,心压着山一般的沉重。虽然自以为是修行人,我却连一部电影都久久走不出来。很惭愧。

片尾有Sergey的黑白照片,下面有一行字: In loving memory of Sergey Fetisov。电影最后的字幕是:Please share this true story with those you love. 再一次再一次,忍不住潸然,泪水泛滥。一部电影,别人的人生,让我看见的是人生的苦。求不得,爱别离,放不下。

到最后,Roman和Sergey阴阳两隔,Roman在阿富汗的蓝天里找到自己的自由,Sergey则怀着Roman炽热的爱孤独走完自己的一生。

爱沙尼亚电影「浴火鸟」(Firebird),是以斯特拉文斯基谱曲的芭蕾舞剧The Firebird为片名。电影是在Sergey观看这部芭蕾舞剧至高潮时结束,Sergey流着泪,Sergey淡淡地笑,他和Roman至死不渝的爱在烈火中涅槃。

他们在暗室里潜滋暗长的情愫;在树林里终于深情的相拥;在Sochi的海边沐浴于阳光中,宛若出世般的纯净与幸福。一切转瞬即逝。一年过去了,四年过去了,几十年过去了,不知不觉的时节如流,爱,从未曾改变。但昔年的你,又去往了何方?天空中那飞翔的蓝色鸽子啊。

乌克兰演员奥列格·扎戈罗德尼 Oleg Zagorodnii饰演的Roman帅出了新的高度。他就是Roman。

 3 ) 如果Roman在阿富汗死里逃生,活着回到莫斯科,劫后余生又会是怎样

可惜没有如果

第一次劫后余生

第一次,关系的深入。在边境突遇北约巡逻兵后,初次亲密接触,两人迅速站上“一垒”和“二垒”
“死里逃生”的Roman主动寻求爱吻,谢盖尔最初闪躲,最后十指紧扣深情拥吻
谢盖尔迎来了人生第一场波罗的海的“春雨”
海滩边 礁石后
两人赤身裸体,“坦诚相对”
两架飞机同时横空“发射”,迫不及待奔上“三垒”

一切都来得那么迅猛,让人根本无法招架热恋带来的悸动。

第一次被迫疏离

回到营中,却因匿名举报信被少校“盘问审查”,两人关系被迫第一次疏离

第二次死里逃生

第二次,关系的恢复。谢盖尔,寻找到“劫后余生”独处的Roman。Roman深情得吻着谢盖尔的手,像只无助的小动物,寻求安慰
两人关系进一步升华至“本垒”
开启彻底的肉体欢愉
灵与肉的结合,“负距离”的体验
连蹦跶带小跑,马上过上了二人夫夫甜蜜生活

第二次被迫疏离

少校的“突击检查”,却让两人的关系再次迅速冷却。

第三次双向奔赴

婚后,Roman对谢盖尔的“念念不忘”
双向奔赴
终于等来了两人,索契旅行的“终有回响”
此刻便是永恒

边境巡逻敌兵、执行飞行任务的险象环生、Roman世俗生活的“圆满”,一步步推动了两人关系和感情的深入。

少校的一次再一次威胁、Roman妻儿的“回归”,一次次使两人关系面对思考和时间,恢复理智后,两人的感情却无处安放。

终语

如果浴火鸟在自由的天空得以重生,Roman和谢盖尔的关系是不是会再度“升华”到极致,“死生契阔”,让他们再也不会分离。

就让他们定格在人生第一次约会的剧场里,彼此一见倾心,互相陪伴

人生若只如初见

------分割线------

“因为经典故事里的角色

不是完全理智的

他们是鲜活的、呼吸的、有感受的生灵

他们细腻而脆弱

也会因为一些事

心潮澎湃

我希望你们能够捕捉住这份悸动

用心和灵魂去感受”

正是电影里这样令人起鸡皮疙瘩的一段旁白,也是我最爱的一段台词,成就了Roman和谢盖尔最美丽的“双向奔赴”,成就了彼此人生的高光时刻。

有温度的共同生活

 4 ) 这辈子曾经拥有你,就已经足够支撑我活下去!

当你按下快门的时候,,在那一刻,一定有什么东西,永远消失了,一个永远不会再出现的时刻,如同幽灵一般逃离这个世界 把命运托付给自身,而非星辰——莎士比亚 你有足够的理性,不要屈服于酗酒,以及语言的杂乱,不要向肉欲屈服,也不要迷恋金钱,最重要的是,不要说谎,不要欺骗自己,对自己撒谎的人,只能听到自己的谎言,本质上,他无法分辨自己内心的真相,或是他身边的真相,如此便失去了对自己喝他人的尊重,没有尊严,也就不会再爱了。 你觉得为什么我们要用名著来教你,因为这些故事里的人物,并非理性的,他们是鲜活的,有呼吸的,有感受的人,他们因战栗而温柔 去说,去做,去思考,去生活,他们不是一回事。我再也无法分裂自己了,我也无法同时属于所有人 谢尔盖,我必须选择唯一一个我仍能感到自由的地方——天空,请不要等我了,忘了我吧,我会一直想着你的,无论未来如何,我永远都会在你身边

 5 ) 对于命运,我们终究是贪心了

那时候还太年轻,不知道所有命运赠送的礼物,早已在暗中标好了价格。

——题记

一位迷人有野心的基地指挥官秘书谢尔盖,以及一个胆大的年轻战斗机飞行员罗曼,他们的缘分似乎冥冥注定,很难不被对方吸引。

军营中的爱恋,总是应该青涩地试探和小心翼翼,更何况是在上世纪七八十年代。

虽然暗藏威胁,可他们的爱情似乎得到了幸运女神的庇佑总能不被发现。

看着爱人,少年的眼眸中闪烁着动人的光泽。

罗曼替谢尔盖抵挡着来自上层的压力,他不忍心破灭少年的激情,但也深感力不从心。

谢尔盖离开军营时,两个人也没能见一面。

他选择忍受世俗的制约去结婚生子,但仍留恋于曾经的牵绊。谢尔盖一直按照他们的约定,去戏剧学院努力学习表演,并期盼着罗曼来找自己。

日后再见,尽管世事难料,但他们一如既往地深爱着对方。在那些相依相伴的日子里,也许他们都十分感谢自己和对这份感情的坚定。

谢尔盖道明自己害怕失去他,罗曼笑着安慰他自己就在这里。

未来不可预测,起码这一刻我们是开心幸福的。虽然有些及时行乐的成分,但人生如果一直畏畏缩缩,那未免也活的太憋屈了。

新年时朋友聚会上两个人情不自禁跑到卧室拥吻,却被好友发现,好友说他们不是爱是恶心,谢尔盖悲愤交加却又无可奈何。

他想让那些偏见的人明白,爱一个人没什么可抱歉的。

罗曼爱谢尔盖,也爱他的妻子和儿子,他于心不忍伤害任何一方,辛苦地来回维持奔波,可不知不觉中两者却都被自己深深地伤害了。

圣诞节后,谢尔盖留下一封书信黯然离去,路易莎终于明白了真相和他大吵了一架。他们知道的是罗曼对不起他们,自己很心痛,可他们不知道的是,这是自己与罗曼的最后一次相见。

罗曼是那么温柔又有责任感的人,他两者都想兼顾可到头来两者都失去了,疲惫到再也没有精力去道歉挽回,他厌倦了尘世的挣扎,也知道他们已经不会原谅自己了,他也不再奢求什么了,知道自己拥有过幸福,就足够了。

深知谢尔盖一直以来对感情的偏执,对此“我无法选择,因为害怕伤害我所爱的人。我不能再分裂自己了,同时属于每个人。”是他的回答。

他知道谢尔盖一定会责备他的离去,所以遗书中安慰自己的爱人——“我选择唯一的地方,在那里我仍然感到自由,是天空。”

谢尔盖那么爱自己,他一定会懂的。

“我将永远和你在一起”

罗曼对任何人都不够残忍,唯独对他自己。

大雪纷飞,渲染着生离死别。

命运好像总是爱和人开玩笑,对于美好的事物,人们都会想尽办法贪心地拥有。谢尔盖想和罗曼光明正大地在一起,罗曼想着顾及家庭和爱人,路易莎如愿以偿地结婚却怀疑着自己的丈夫。似乎每个人都不知足,可人生就是这样。要说什么下一世,生生世世,无穷无尽,都是如此,是人就会有欲望,只是像罗曼这样的人,下一世不管是作为丈夫还是作为情人,都莫要再让他受苦了。

 6 ) 搬运影评BFI Flare ’21 – ‘Firebird’ Is A Melodramatic True Story Of Forbidden Gay Love In The Cold War

Tom Prior and Oleg Zagorodii in Firebird

Director Peeter Rebane and leading actor Tom Prior (The Theory of Everything and Kingsman: The Secret Service) fought to bring Sergey Fetisov’s memoir of a secret love affair between two soldiers in the Soviet Air Force to the big screen. Co-written and co-produced by the pair, Firebird is a sensitive if not slightly melodramatic true story of gay love in Soviet-occupied Estonia. Firebird opens in 1977 with Sergey (Prior) serving his last few weeks of conscription. His girlfriend Luisa (Diana Pozharskaya) has started planning their life together, but Sergey soon becomes distracted by dashing fighter pilot Lieutenant Roman Medveyev (Oleg Zagorodnii). Looking like silver screen icons of the bygone age of Hollywood, the two men bond over their shared interest in the arts. Sergey once had dreams of becoming a stage actor and a night at the ballet seeing Stravinsky’s ‘Firebird’ brings the pair closer together. Their relationship is all clandestine late-night encounters and longing glances. Luisa hasn’t spotted their connection, obviously placing herself as the third member of a love triangle. An anonymous report exposing Roman’s indiscretions is a reminder that sexual relations between two men wasn’t just frowned upon, it could be punished by five year’s hard labour. The pair must make a decision between risking their lives in the face of escalating KGB investigations, or hiding their feelings. It’s desperately romantic, even if the film chooses melodrama over realism. Firebird’s narrative does take the most obvious turns. The weakness of this film is its reliance on obvious twists and cliched character development. Sergey embarks on an acting career, whilst Roman continues in the military. Tensions heighten when Roman embarks on married, domestic life with a woman whilst Sergey is more relaxed about his sexuality. Firebird leans less on the perilous action of being gay in the Soviet era, but instead on more clandestine affair cliché. Despite the obvious journey, it’s a beautifully realised account of love flourishing against a cold, loveless background. Prior and Zagorodnii look good together, Prior sweet and wide-eyed whilst Zagorodnii is handsome and chiselled. The camera zoom is on their faces, every micro-expression of longing picked up by the lens. The choice to use an international cast speaking English won’t please everyone. Using Estonian dialogue with subtitles may have added an authenticity because at times the Eastern Bloc accents are a little distracting;Parasite proved that if a film is good enough, people will happily read the subtitles.

Still from firebird

Firebird looks visually stunning. The intimate scenes are romantic, with late-night swims and dimly lit lovemaking. Some may criticise that the romance is sanitized with the camera moving away when the mood heats up. This is a film about stolen glances, not steamy nights. For a debut feature director who is famed for music videos and tour documentaries (he was also a Eurovision producer), Rebenae knows how to create an atmosphere. The production design should also be commended. The story can be told between any two men, in any part of the world, in any era in history. It is clear through sets, costume, and sound that this is a Soviet-occupied state in the 1970s. What Firebird lacks in originality, it makes up for in atmosphere. The threat this will all be taken away from them lingers over every scene together. In the daytime, the coldness of military life is reflected in the grey colour palette. The scenes transform from a sterile greyness to a warmness as they meet under dim lights, and in the reflection of the moonlight by the river. Firebird will be familiar to many romantic film fans. It relies on well used tropes that were better executed by Call Me by Your Name and Brokeback Mountain. Anyone looking for that uplifting gay love story should move elsewhere. While it’s a beautiful film, it brings nothing new to the library of LBGTQ+ movies.Yet somehow, it will be enough if someone watching this film can resonate with the story.

 7 ) 今年最喜欢的电影——firebird

柴静说,在没有光的地方没有爱,只有性。 我认为电影里面同妻,是环境社会的逼迫。强制性的让人病态分裂,扭曲。 反观现在整体大环境的改善。压迫的锁链虽消失不见,但也没有走出穹顶。 锁链消失的同时,好像也随之消失了什么东西。 以数字10为选择的核心,停留且沉沦于器官的化学反应,我们幸福太多,悲伤太多。 —————— 关于导演 故事很长,明显不是以票房为主要目的,更像是对这个故事纪念和记录。(当然票房肯定是有考虑过的)个人非常非常喜欢导演安排的一些细节。

这一组截图是他们在索契度假的情节 导演这里给了鸽子一个特写,非常细腻的表达出了当时平和温柔的氛围,又呼应了当时战争的背景。主人公只有在这个时候才能找到内心的平静吧。 后面又给了一个鸽子飞走的镜头。暗示两人的美好转瞬即逝,又暗示着主人公无法强制留住这份爱,又与后文中,罗曼去世他们的爱情永恒呼应。(可能是我过度解读了,但是我真的很喜欢导演留这些有趣的细节)

重现了故事的全貌,导演几乎没加入自己的想法理解。 精巧的细节布置和分镜安排。每个镜头里的细节都有自己的作用。恰到好处的氛围把控。最后再加上演员的演技和颜值。光靠这些,它就注定不会是一个玛丽苏烂片。 个人觉得美中不足的是电影中女主路易莎形象并不是很鲜明。

 短评

要我说全片下来演技炸裂的是女主:开篇对爱的徘徊和试探,中局在等待中从失落到热爱再到猜忌,最后在真相面前的逞强到爆发再到接受。谁看了不说一句:同妻实惨!🥲

并不觉得老套。至少在故事层面,我以为用老套这个词去评价前苏联和第三世界国家的LGBT电影,背后隐含的是一种傲慢,何况体制监控不同于宗教或伦理压力,其下的事理人情自然亦有所别。其实我倒是庆幸导演无甚野心,始终保持着爱情片的成色,没有去重复那种自由主义阵营的冷战腔调,非把一腔私密情愫拧成一篇政治檄文。若是那样,怕才真成了老套。

7分。冷战时期,苏联空军里的禁忌之恋。在我看来,中尉就是个渣男,“有事钟无艳,无事夏迎春”那种,对士兵的欲望大于爱。军队里风声紧了就马上撇清关系,风声一松,就又去找士兵重燃旧情。这期间还结婚生了娃,结婚期间老实了几年,后来又瞒着妻子与士兵同居。妻子和士兵他都对不起,渣得不能再渣。那么,为什么会感动呢?主要还是因为士兵的爱与勇气。他重来没有因为外界原因而减少对中尉的爱,随时随地,只要中尉召唤,他就飞奔而去。无论多长时间,他都愿意飞蛾扑火,哪怕明知相聚必定是短暂的。其实对于士兵,也有怒其不争的情绪。可是最后一幕,士兵一个人去看了歌剧,多年前中尉就陪在他身旁,如今,身边人已不再。看到这里,还是感动了一下。不理智,恰恰就是爱的真谛。如果再有永恒的遗憾,爱也能随之永恒。

根據真實故事改編,想要知道原本有書麼,想讀。這種片太壓抑,看他們親熱戲的時候很害怕下一秒他們就被發現,然後等待他們的是無盡的批判與責罰,所幸這些都被巧妙躲開了,在Sochi那裡的幾場戲好美,躲在無人知曉的地方交換秘密,不用害怕無需隱藏,陽光海洋一切都美好到了極致⋯Roman真的好帥。

#5.5/5#我想,阿富汗的无尽天空,也在燃烧着忧愁的蓝吧。你说,他们口中的天堂,那里可有你向我承诺的Moscow的小家,Bolshoi的电影,还有Arbat的冰淇淋?在那里我们能否在河岸挽手漫步,或者就像在Sochi一样,沐浴在阳光中,宛若出世,谈论的却尽是生活的所有?To be or not to be? 问题的答案你从未给我。Tchaikovsky的《六月》还在耳畔回响,不知不觉的时节如流,我再看浴火涅槃的凤凰,但昔年的你,又去往了何方?

如果有一天我能在大银幕上看到这个电影该有多好啊,我好像还从来没有在大银幕上看过属于我们的爱情。。。。如果他也能因之看到,他是否会因之念及到我呢。他会否和我一样流下无声的眼泪呢。还是不要看吧。金刚经的启示说,一切有为法,如梦幻泡影,如露亦如电。慧极必伤,情深不寿。我宁愿他淡忘我。

真实故事改编很有重量。在于个人角度:Roman你但凡有点责任心,不婚娶,不让别人怀孕,使你感到自由的便不只是蓝天了;特殊的年代下,爱情是美好的,现实是残酷的,但请至少去努力为自己而活。

军营禁忌恋一则,梦回Burning Blue,又是为BE哭惨的一天(何况还是根据真实事件改编),最后Roman如愿以偿了天空的自由,却徒留生者无尽哀恸。Sergey不会忘记的,那些合照、来信、亲昵、拥抱,脱口而出的莎士比亚,匆促藏匿的忐忑与兴奋,无人注视下的亲吻,肌肤相亲时海水的温度,和挚爱共同度过的每分每秒——所有对这一切的记忆,都会在他的余生中作为悲痛的存在刻下难以磨灭的烙印。他将永远怀念他。(“他们也在读陀思妥耶夫斯基”+1。01:09男主诵读《卡拉马佐夫兄弟》:“勿酗酒,勿饶舌,勿纵欲,勿贪财……主要的是勿对自己说谎。对自己说谎和听自己说谎的人会落到这样的地步:无论在自己身上还是周围,即使有真理,他也无法辨别,结果将是既不自重,也不尊重别人。一个人如果对谁也不尊重,也就没有了爱。”)

制作精良,画面唯美,人物外型立体如希腊雕塑。可能是依托真人真事吧,同样是空军禁恋,反思苏联的这部“浴火鸟”比几年前架空美国的那部“燃烧蓝”要合理多了,就连同性爱也不再用兄弟情打掩护。最大问题可能在于文青风格太足,缺少了军营的腌臜气?
