After watching "The Eight Hundred", have you watched any other classic war movies?

The emergence of "Eight Hundred" is undoubtedly a rescue work for domestic theaters.

Putting aside the many controversies about the film, at least there is a consensus on the definition of the genre of "war film". In terms of shooting war scenes, the film can be said to be the best domestic war film in the past 10 years, and photographer Cao Yu is indispensable for the excellence of this part.

Before this, there was the Golden Globe Award for Best Drama Film "1917", which is also a war film. Although there are not many war scenes, the pseudo-one-shot shooting techniques and picture quality are also worth it. We have an IMAX ticket.

War movies have always been an important genre in movies. Since the birth of movies, countless classic war movies have appeared in film history.

Such as "All Quiet on the Western Front", "Rome, the Undefended City", "The Bridge on the River Kwai", "General Patton", "Apocalypse Now", "Platoon", "Saving Private Ryan", "The Thin "The Red Line" and so on.

So after watching "Eight Hundred", Lao Meng had the urge to watch war movies again. He watched 5 classic war movies in a few days. He couldn't help but sigh with emotion: war movies are never just War (the following rankings are in no particular order, based on the year of release):

"Path of Glory"

Douban rating: 9.1 Year of release: 1957

Director: Stanley Kubrick

Although this movie is 63 years old, its classic is enough for us to watch it across the centuries!

The film is adapted from Humphrey Kirby's 1935 novel "Paths of Glory". The film won the 1959 Italian National Association of Film Critics Silver Ribbon Award for Best Foreign Language Film Director and the 1958 Finnish Film Academy Award. Award for Best Director.

The background of the story takes place on August 13, 1914, during the German-French War, but what is unique is that there is no trace of the German army in this war film.

The entire perspective of the film is on the French army, and it is mainly a farce about who is responsible for a defeated war.

However, although there are not many scenes that reflect the war positively, the director put a lot of thought into the scene design. The real artillery fire that appeared in the trenches as the "background", the listless appearance of the soldiers in the entire trench, and the heroic sacrifice of soldiers one after another.

The movie is more like a black-humored irony than a big-scene war movie, and even the title is ironic.

But this movie is worth watching. The general's stupidity, the captain's helplessness, and the tenderness at the end of the film all tell the central idea of ??the movie "anti-war".
