Military cinema about intelligence. List of the best films about exploration

War is always a terrible grief, sincere and strong emotions, unbearable suffering. One of the most important areas of the strategy of the parties conducting military operations is intelligence. It is considered to be the most important type of combat support, the task of which is to extract and collect information about the state of the operational situation, the official enemy or any illegal armed formations, including extremist, terrorist and any other groupings, for the successful execution by the troops of their immediate tasks. From the very beginning of the film industry, the film industry did not ignore this source of unreasoned dramas. The category "Military cinema about intelligence" has an infinite number of pictures, invariably united by a high level of drama and a heat of passions.

Subspecies

Everyone knows that intelligence uses quite legal methods for collecting information (listening to open sources, radio channels, monitoring from satellites) and illegal methods that fit the definition of "espionage". That's the war movie about intelligence is divided into films about spies and pictures that cover the activities of special forces during the fighting. Spy films are special, no steep furious thriller with impressive action scenes does not compare with the subtle psychology of these paintings. No other storyline so captures the viewer's attention and is not capable of prompting to ponder over the solution of the situation as the military can do about reconnaissance and espionage.

Spy Category

One of the first spy movies - "39 steps", was released in rental in 1935. Removed his real master Alfred Hitchcock on the novel of the same name John Baken. American and French filmmakers like to make films of this kind: the Ministry of Fear (1943), The Five Fingers (1952), The Manchu Candidate (1962), The Spy, Get Out! (1979), The Mirror War ( 1969), Three Days of the Condor (1975), "The Eye of Needles" (1980), "The Avengers" (1961-1969) and others. Not all of the above paintings can be classified as "Military cinema about intelligence".

Spies in Soviet way

All of the foreign cinema magnification listed above can not be compared with the films about the spies of the Soviet Union during the Second World War. Cinematographers of the USSR also liked to shoot a military movie about intelligence and espionage. They are dominated by cunning, high intelligence, brilliant logic and intuition. Films surpass in their severity and power of foreign analogues. The most striking examples are unsurpassed masterpieces of the national film industry:

1. "Seventeen Moments of Spring" directed by Tatyana Lioznova - about the history of the best scout of Colonel Isaev (Standartenfuhrer SS Stirlitz), who performed the tasks of the Center in fascist Germany on the eve of the Great Victory of the USSR in the Second World War.
2. Tetralogy of director Benjamin Dorman about the fate of the scout - the son of the emigrant Count Tuliev: "Resident's mistake", then - "Resident's fate", after - "Resident's return", and the culmination - "The end of the" Resident "operation.
3. The heroic-adventure five-part film "The Omega variant" directed by Antonis-Janis Voyazos, based on real events - the actions of the Soviet intelligence group in Tallinn.
4. The legendary TV series "TASS is authorized to declare" (1984) is a detailed, detailed and impressive adaptation of the novel by Julian Semenov. It is not quite right to refer to it as a war movie about reconnaissance, but it is not possible to mention it.
5. But the more modern work of 2012 "Spy" with Fedor Bondarchuk and Danilo Kozlovsky in the main roles, narrating about the events taking place in Moscow in 1941, ideally suits the designated category of movies.

The epic of military scouts

Speaking of films, the main characters of which are scouts, we can not fail to mention the Russian television epic "Military Intelligence". Its creators repeat the reception of George Lucas, who shot his legendary "Star Wars" from the 4th episode, and after a few years released the beginning of the rental. So here, at first appeared the movie "Military Intelligence: the Western Front", a year later - "The First Strike" (about the beginning of the war), and almost a year later - "The Northern Front" (on the opening of the intelligence school). In chronological order correctly watch the telescopes, starting with the "Northern Front". This part tells about the formation of the legendary team, covering its activities before and during the Finnish war. "Military Intelligence: The Northern Front" is a movie that dispels myths, for example about the so-called Finnish cuckoo, snipers, supposedly occupying positions exclusively on the tops of trees, and many others.

Giving a characterization of the series, it is worth noting the integrity of his style, musical accompaniment. All the music in the TV project sounds extremely delicate and unobtrusive, subtly emphasizing the action unfolding on the screen. The movie "Military Intelligence: The First Impact" was no exception. Although it is in this part, according to the semantic load, the musical accompaniment is performed mainly in low tones, through which heroics and pathetics, the echoes of the past war, sound particularly moving. The action of this particular episode takes place during the implementation of the "Barbarossa" plan.
