Counterfeit Captain (2017)
The Captain
Director: Robert Svenk
Writers: Robert Svenk
Starring: Max Hubbar / Milan Pescher
Douban score: 8.. 6
Based on a true story, the film tells the story of a nineteen-year-old german wehrmacht, Willy Herold, who became the so-called "Emsland executioner" in the last two weeks of World War II.
By virtue of the captain's uniform he found, he impersonated an officer, gathered the other soldiers who had collapsed to form a special task force, plundered all the way to the land of the fallen Nazi Empire, and used the Fuehrer as an example to seize and kill people.
Recommended for:
This film is a German World War II movie, the story of a German soldier all the way to the deception of a group of deserters, from death to power to grasp the demon process.
Human nature does not stand the test, and eventually the protagonist is swallowed up by the growing desire. The film reflects on World War II through the analysis of the humanity of German soldiers, which is admirable.
Letter from Iwo Jima (2006)
Letters from lwo Jima
Director: Clint Eastwood
Writers: Alice Yamashita / Paul Haggis
Starring: Ken Watanabe / Kazuya Ninomiya
Douban score: 8.2
The defeat at the Battle of Midway directly announced the defeat of the Japanese army in the Pacific Theater, and the recalcitrant Japanese army still held on to Iwo Jima, the southernmost island in Japan. This seemingly inconspicuous island staged the worst war in the Pacific in World War II.
Lieutenant General Tadamichi Kuribayashi (Ken Watanabe) is the commander of the Japanese army on Iwo Jima and is in charge of the last line of defense for the Japanese army. Lieutenant General Kuribayashi vigorously reformed the bad habits and deficiencies within the Japanese army, and devised a set of combat plans to deal with the American army, mainly delayed.
Although he and the 20,000 officers and men of the Japanese army were united, in the face of 40,000 American soldiers who had exhausted air superiority, Kuribayashi knew that this would be a war with no way back.
Before the final war, Kuribayashi wrote his last family letter...
This is a film about World War II from a Japanese perspective. Although the film was made by americans, it to a certain extent reflects the human nature of some Japanese people in the war as human beings, good or evil.
If it weren't for war, we would all be ordinary people who love life, and war exposes the dark side of human nature. In the film, when Kuribayashi shouts out long live the emperor, he laughs himself, laughing at his own pathos and the ignorance of war. We should cherish this hard-won peace.
Rome, the Undefended City (1945)
Rome,Open City
Director: Roberto Rossellini
Writers: Seljo Amidyi / Federico Fellini
Starring: Aldo Fabrizi / Anna Maniani
Douban score: 8.0
In 1944, Rome, scarred by the Nazi occupation of the main street. The Germans recklessly hunted down the partisans defending their homeland, and the leader of the Italian underground resistance, engineer Giorgio Manfiti (Marcello Pagliero), was pursued by the Germans.
In a crisis, Memphisti escapes to the home of his friend Francisco, and with the help of Francisco's fiancée, Bina (Anna Magnani), Manfiti meets Father Don Pietro (Aldo Berz Aldo Fabrizi) and asks the priest to hand over a huge sum of money to the partisans.
Francesco was arrested to cover for Manfiti, and Bina was shot and killed. However, the desperate Manfiti was tipped off by his girlfriend, and Memphisti and the priest were arrested and imprisoned. The Nazis deliberately tortured Memphisti in front of the priest, and the two eventually died heroically under the torture and bullets of the enemy.
Italy, one of the Fascist Nations (Axis powers) of World War II, initially sided with Germany and Japan, but with the victory of the Allies, a coup d'état broke out in Italy to overthrow Mussolini's rule, and then the German army invaded Italy. The film reflects the story of Rome's invasion by the Nazis, and expresses dissatisfaction with the invasion of foreign enemies through the resistance of priests and other small people.
The process of watching the film is as if he broke the third wall to enter the streets of Rome as an observer, accompanied by the characters in the play, trembling together, feeling the inspiration of their great courage, and deeply realizing that "all wars are unjust"!
Saving Private Ryan (1998)
Saving Private Ryan
Directed By: Steven Spielberg
Writers: Robert Rodat
Starring: Tom Hanks / Tom Sezemore
Douban score: 9.0
Ryan (Matt Damon) was an American paratrooper during World War II who was trapped behind enemy lines. Even more unfortunately, all three of his brothers died in the war, and if he had also been killed, the old mother in the family would have no one to rely on.
The U.S. General Command of Operations learned of this situation and decided to organize a small detachment to the rescue, including Captain Miller (Tom Hanks) and the translator Urban (Jeremy Hanks). Davis Jererry Davies).
However, the enemy is in danger, and they are always dealing with death along the way. They wondered if it was worth risking the lives of eight people to rescue one.
Everyone went all the way to find Ryan, and some people were dissatisfied, some were enthusiastic, and some were curious about this rescue operation. Everyone smelled death again and again, and Ryan paid a heavy price for his rescue.
A classic World War II movie from an American perspective, with the classic rescue plot as the main conflict of the movie. The film uses a basic memoiristic narrative approach to tell the story of Ryan, the rescue of Soldier Ryan in World War II.
The film realistically restores the Normandy landings, the largest landings of World War II, with realistic pictures.
Here the Dawn Is Quiet (1972)
The Dawns Here Are Quiet
Directed By: Stanislav Rostocki
Writers: Boris Vasiliev / Stanislav Rostocki
Starring: Andrei Martynov / Irina Dolganova
Douban score: 8.7
In the summer of 1942, Warrant Officer Vaskov led a platoon of four-pack gunners stationed in a village near a small station.
One day, squad leader Lida spotted airborne German troops in the woods not far away. Vaskov led a small detachment to search for the enemy, including Five girls, Lisa, Garka, Lida, Sonia, and Ranya.
The team members died heroically, and the badly wounded Lida did not want to involve the warrant officer from committing suicide by drinking a bullet after entrusting her son to him. The grief-stricken Vaskov annihilated the enemy battalion in one fell swoop, and was relieved of his mission.
Years later, Vaskov took Lida,now an officer's son, to the grove where his mother had died, paying deep respect to all the female soldiers.
This is a classic Soviet World War II film, and the greatest thing about this work is the authenticity of war life, without deliberately beautifying the image of the protagonist.
The female soldiers in the film are not tall characters, they are as timid and willful as ordinary girls, but the war has ruthlessly buried their love and dreams. Who can not but grieve and condemn the evil war?
Dunkirk (2018)
Dunkirk
Director: Christopher Nolan
Writers: Christopher Nolan
Starring: Finn Whitehead / Tom Green-Carney
Douban score: 8.4
At the beginning of World War II, 400,000 British and French allies were besieged by the enemy on the beaches of Dunkirk, and the situation was extremely critical in the face of the enemy's approaching desperate situation. The British government and navy mobilized a large number of crews and mobilized the people to rescue the army.
British soldier Tommy (Fionn Whitehead) gets to know Gibson and Alex as they flee the beach, while mr. Dawson (Mark Rylance), the owner of the civilian ship, and his son Peter and 17-year-old George also leave The United Kingdom to save soldiers in Dunkirk.
The three rescue the Navy (Kirin Murphy Cillian Murphy), pilot Collins, and Tommy, while fighter pilot Farrell (Tom Hardy) fights tenaciously under the difficult circumstances of being caught between the enemy's two sides.
The film tells the "Dunkirk evacuation" in World War II from the perspective of the British and French Allies, telling from the three angles of land, sea and air that under the siege of the German army, everyone had to fight for their fate before it was possible to return home alive.
Darkest Hour (2017)
Darkest Hour
Director: Joe Wright
Writers: Anthony McCarten
Starring: Gary Oldman / Kristen Scott Thomas
Douban score: 8.6
The film tells the story of the most important trial that British Prime Minister Winston Churchill faced during his time as prime minister: was he a prisoner of compromise with the Nazis, or was he uniting the people to revolt? Churchill will rally the whole nation to fight for freedom, trying to change the course of world history and survive the darkness before dawn.
This is a British perspective to tell the story of Winston Churchill who was appointed as British Prime Minister in the face of Danger in World War II, defeated the appeasement faction such as former Prime Minister Chamberlain, organized the Dunkirk evacuation to resolutely resist fascist aggression, and led the LinkedIn country out of the darkest moment in history.
When watching the movie, I can't help but think of the plot of "Dunkirk", which is different angles in the same story. Therefore, it is recommended to watch it with "The Darkest Hour".
Yaohan (2020)
The Eight Hundred
Director: Guan Hu
Writers: Guan Hu / Grey
Starring: Wang Qianyuan / Zhang Yi / Jiang Wu
Douban score: 7.6
At the end of the Battle of Songhu in 1937, the fierce battle between China and Japan had lasted for three months, and Shanghai was on the verge of falling. Xie Jinyuan (Du Chun), deputy of the 524th Regiment of the 262nd Brigade of the 88th Division, led more than 420 people to hold the last line of defense alone and stayed behind at the Shanghai Sihang Warehouse.
Separated from the concession by a river, it created a rare war that was watched. In order to gain momentum, the actual number of people is 400 and the external number is 800.
The "Eight Hundred Heroes" were ordered to remain in Zhabei, Shanghai, and fought for four days at the Sihang Warehouse on the banks of the Suzhou River, until October 30, when they were ordered to withdraw to the British Concession.
This film tells the story of the Anti-Japanese War of Songhu in 1937 from a Chinese perspective. In the film, on the north and south banks of the Suzhou River, on the one hand, there are guns and bullets, nine deaths, and on the other side, the lights are red and green, singing and dancing, and the strong contrast is a wake-up call to the Chinese people to have a consistent cohesion with the outside world.
The last shot of the movie, from the stretching shot of the four-line warehouse to the modern urban Shanghai, can't help but sigh "the mountains and rivers are no longer harmed, my generation should be self-reliant".
War Day (2015)
April 9th
Director: Ronnie Hydra
Writers: Tobias Lindauchem
Starring: Piru Esbek / Ras Mickelson
Douban score: 7.5
In the early morning of April 9, 1940, German troops crossed the border into Denmark.
The bicycle and motorcycle companies on Jutland, Denmark, were the first Danish forces to resist the German attack, and the two detachments as advance troops were waiting for follow-up reinforcements, but the change in orders prevented them from waiting for reinforcements.
In the absence of strength from the German army, it had to choose to retreat to defend the city. Eventually it fell and the government surrendered. And the advance troops defending the German army had no choice but to surrender in the absence of ammunition and communications........
During World War II, many countries did not have the national strength of China, the United States and the Soviet Union to continuously confront fascism, and many small countries showed more helplessness when facing foreign invasions.
The film tells the story of the 4-hour battle of the Danish resistance after the German invasion from a Danish standpoint. After a short battle of 4 hours, Denmark surrendered to Germany. The film only shoots the story of the day of the war, the atmosphere of the war, the psychology of the soldiers, and the perspective of the confrontation are very gripping, and the urgency and pressure run through it.
