Recommend several World War II movies

World War II was mainly a war between the Allies (the United States, the Soviet Union, the United Kingdom, etc.) and the Axis Powers (Germany, Italy, Japan, etc.). Its essence was the confrontation between capitalism and fascism. During the war, the Axis powers used blitzkrieg and other advanced tactics to quickly conquer many areas of the European continent and Asia, and imposed brutal rule and mass murder on the occupied countries, such as Nazi Germany's genocide against the Jews.

The following are the 5 World War II movies I recommend:

1: Jojo’s Crazy World (2020)

Content introduction: ?During World War II, a boy Jojo (Davis) and his mother (Scarlett) live under the rule of Nazi Germany. He does not know that his mother is hiding a Jewish girl (Mackenzie) in her home, and that her mother secretly works for the Resistance Army. . Jojo is eager to join the Hitler Youth, and a subversive version of Hitler emerges in his mind. This Hitler is charming, silly, innocent and cute. He is his friend and helps him cope with the difficulties in life.

Reason for recommendation: An outstanding comedy always has a sad core; an outstanding tragedy always has the magic power to make you laugh in tears. Starting from a child's perspective is not a novel approach, but this movie still uses this method, paired with childlike laughter, to naturally depict war so realistically and love so touchingly.

Douban score: 8.3

Recommendation index: four stars

2: Greyhound (2020)

Content introduction: Film narrative At the beginning of World War II, an escort fleet composed of 37 Allied ships, under the command of an American destroyer led by Captain Ernest Krause (played by Tom Hanks), crossed the treacherous North Atlantic while also Dealing with the wolf pack of German U-boats.

Reason for recommendation:

From a naval battle perspective and a military perspective, as a science major and an amateur military history enthusiast, I can hardly see anything wrong with this book.

Douban score: 7.8

Recommendation index: four stars

3: Battle of Rzhev (2019)

Content introduction: World War II The most neglected battle during this period - the battle known as the "Rzhev Meat Grinder" - was as important as the Battle of Stalingrad. This battle has been ignored for some unknown reasons, and the Soviet Red Army suffered extremely heavy losses. In more than a year, the Red Army suffered more than 1.5 million casualties. Due to insufficient equipment and inability to keep up with logistics, the Red Army's casualties were more than four times that of the German army. Very tragic. The movie selects a small battle in the battle to show the cruelty and tragedy of war.

Reason for recommendation: The first 10 minutes of the battle were shot very well, showing the brutality of the battlefield nakedly, with corpses strewn all over the field, and it was so tragic.

Douban score: 7.4

4: Soldier (2019)

Content introduction: Based on a true story, the Soviet Union During the Great Patriotic War, a six-year-old child narrowly escaped massacre and was later taken back to the regiment headquarters by the Soviet Red Army. He became a Red Army private and completed many "tasks" for the Red Army.

Reason for recommendation:

When I first saw the poster of "Soldier", my first reaction was resistance. Looking at the cute boy in military uniform on the poster, I was thinking: No matter how wonderful the script is, it should not promote turning children into soldiers. However, after understanding the background of the film, my resistance turned into sadness. This is not a script creation-in fact, most of the plots in the film are adapted from real people.

In the 1930s, a child named Sergei was born in the Kaluga region of the Soviet Union. During World War II, his village became one of the guerrilla bases fighting the Germans. In the summer of 1942, the German army came to this area and massacred a large number of villagers in order to punish the villagers for supporting the guerrillas. Sergei's mother and brother both died tragically, and his father died earlier. Sergey escaped from the window and wandered in the forest for several months. Soviet scouts discovered the physically and mentally exhausted child and rescued him back to the unit. From then on, little Sergey began his life in the army and began a child's World War II adventure - and this is the story that is focused on in the film.

The young actor who plays Sergey is very good. His performance is vivid, simple and without any artificiality. It can be said that he single-handedly provided a lot of highlights and cuteness to the film. As an audience, we, watching this cute boy with a round face grow up beside the soldiers and grow into a little warrior step by step, our hearts are so cute, and at the same time it hurts.

I think this may be the greatest significance of the film "Soldier": if each of us can remember that there was such a story in history, such a period of childhood that was changed and severely damaged by war. , then maybe, in the future, we can all do our part to prevent such stories from happening again in the world.

May the world be peaceful, and may every child grow up safely and happily.

5: Fake Captain (2017)

Content introduction: German World War II theme Film.

Based on a true story, the film tells the story of Willie Herold, a nineteen-year-old ordinary Wehrmacht soldier who became the so-called "Executioner of Emsland" during the final two weeks of World War II. Using the captain's uniform he picked up, he pretended to be an officer, gathered other soldiers who had broken up to form a special task force, and looted the land of the Nazi empire that was about to fall. He followed the example of the Führer and assumed the power of arrest and death. The film won the Best Cinematography Award at last year's San Sebastian International Film Festival.

Reason for recommendation: A military uniform covered with medals is a special status appointed by the devil. Even if you have bones under your feet, someone will praise you for your loyalty. The chilling slogan is proof of innocence given by the times. As long as the war is not over, they will be surrounded wherever they go. He can eat barbecue slowly or carry out lynchings blatantly. He is a cruel and ruthless war butcher and a makeshift court without justice. But the ironic and terrifying fact is: he is just a deserter.
