Recommend some war-themed comedies

Although what LZ wants is a modern European and American war movie, I recommend you to watch the 1986 domestic film "The Battle of Taierzhuang". This film is ten thousand times better than "Taihang Mountain". It is our China was the only anti-war film that made a splash in the world, with a box office revenue of 270 million. This record was not broken until Zhang Yimou's "Hero" appeared. However, considering the prices in 1986, "Hero" did not really make sense. surpassed "The Bloody Battle at Taierzhuang".

A collection of biopics. The leading actor, George Scott, interpreted the role in a profound way both on and off screen - his textbook-level speech in the opening 6 minutes, his performance was simply possessed by the "violent military god" Patton, and he won the Oscar for this film. , did not go to accept the award at all, and relentlessly denounced the Hollywood feast as nothing more than "ridiculous sensuality." This film is said to be Nixon's favorite film - the late 1960s and early 1970s were a dark era in American history. Kennedy, Martin Luther King, and other political assassinations made Americans believe in the American political system. There was a wavering, and the failure of the war of aggression in Vietnam caused American young people to refuse military service and burn their military service certificates in public. In this context, the hidden political motivations of this film that promotes the cowboy spirit are self-evident.

Roman Polanski, the master of adultery and thief, adapted it based on the autobiography of Vladimir Spurman. At the same time, he extensively reviewed his childhood experience-as a A Polish Jew, his life in the German-occupied areas was worse than death and in darkness. The gloomy and hopeless atmosphere and deep and desolate mood become even more ferocious under Polanski's stern and decisive lens. Despite the heinous massacre by the Nazis and the life of escape without enough food and clothing, the survival instinct and artistic belief still supported the actor to grit his teeth. The most shocking scene is neither the piano playing of thoughts nor the discovery of the conscience of the German officer; the protagonist hears the footsteps in the distance and throws himself to the ground in a hurry. A group of German soldiers runs past arrogantly, not paying attention to him at all. ——Overview of the camera: corpses everywhere.

This film stands on the shoulders of its predecessor "The Long Day".

If "Schindler's List" is Hollywood's tragic display of the Auschwitz concentration camp, "Escape from Sobibor" can be described as the European film industry's horrific memory of the dark past. The most heartbreaking scene is neither the priest's request to die for the fainted young man, nor the beloved farewell between the Russian officer and the Jewish girl - the leisurely fields, the beautiful sunshine, the clear sky, the purest body in the world. To set off the curls of sin rising from the chimney of the crematorium, the sky was clear and clear, and everything was completely silent, so ruthless that not a single tear was shed.

Despite this, the statuette still embraced "Schindler's List" without hesitation, and finally fulfilled Spielberg's dream of an Oscar for Best Director, who had returned empty-handed seven times before. Although the existence of Hollywood's commercial atmosphere makes this film not pure enough on an artistic level, as a Jew, the director's sincere feelings of paying tribute and paying homage are still deeply touching. Especially when the pair of little red shoes appeared on the screen, the audience burst into tears as another Jewish artist, Master Isaac Perlman, expressed the endless grief on the violin.

With such extravagant box office appeal, it is expected that it will be a hit around the world.

Although the quality of the movie itself is mediocre and it is just a mediocre part of many Hollywood commercial war films, the naval battle scenes that still seem to be quite touching would not be seen without Light and Magic (the special effects company of the "Star Wars" series), Weta ( In the era of the special effects company of the "Rings" series, the level of shock can be imagined.

A classic film that has accompanied the growth of several generations. Artistry and commerciality are perfectly combined in this work. Organizing a resistance movement in the Nazi-occupied areas, while at the same time eliminating the undercover agents lurking within the revolutionary ranks, it not only lacks the wisdom and bravery of "Partisans of the Plains", but also is full of hidden ingenuity of "Infernal Affairs".

A masterpiece that pokes fun at World War II in a comedic way, a French romantic and humorous World War II image endorsement film.

Classic Index★★★★★

If there is any comedy about World War II that can be compared with "Escape from the Tiger's Mouth", then "Life is Beautiful" must be the best choice. This film is just a drop in the ocean of the countless tragedies of the German army's persecution of the Jews, but its black humor is more tragic and speaks directly to people's hearts. While the protagonist continues to make the child happy, he is calmly escorted to execution by Nazi soldiers. As a cold gunshot is heard outside the child's field of vision, in the audience's miserable and blurred vision, the greatest father's love has been supremely sublimated. ——What a thrilling greatness this is!

Describes the individual contest between two snipers in the context of the Soviet-German war.

Although there is a strong sense of martial arts, director Jean-Jacques Annaud did not simply turn the film into a Huashan sword debate between two masters who do not understand the fireworks of the world. On the contrary, the street fighting scenes of group confrontations were arranged at the right time and in an appropriate amount, which not only served as a good foil The two masters competed with each other, which created a sense of loneliness among the crowd - a feeling of being alone and seeking defeat. It is worth mentioning that the success of this film completely opened up the North American market for the handsome British boy Jude Law. From then on, he got rid of his supporting role in "The Talented Mr. Ripley" and began to steadily play the male lead. Without this "Attack on the Wall", I really don't know who Sister Nicole and Big Mouth Zhu would have played in the future "Cold Mountain" and "Stealing Hearts".

This not only frustrated Director Wu's wish to make "The History of Blood and Tears of Chinese Workers", but also directly led to the reorganization of Paramount's top management. It was also an important factor in the failure of the declining MGM decision-making. One of the icons (finally acquired by Sony last month). Its impact on the film industry is far greater than its commemoration of World War II.
