Thomas Kleischumann, a memorable "German professional"
When it comes to military uniforms, many people will definitely think of the straight uniforms and shiny accessories of the German army in World War II. Before the Second World War, Hitler said in a speech: "Military uniforms must be handsome, so that young people will join the army without hesitation." Sure enough, these beautiful military uniforms and shining accessories made the handsome and elegant German soldiers super lethal at that time, and invisibly attracted a large number of young people to the arms of the army. At the same time, German soldiers enjoy a high reputation in the world, not only their discipline and quality, but also their artistic achievements. Many books write that German officers had a chivalrous spirit, serious and elegant. However, the help of the abuse of the wrong way, the outstanding achievements in the war are also in vain, the rise to power of the Fascists made the German soldiers a tool of political expansion, at this time, his strength just became an accomplice to the crime, so in World War II, because the style of the German soldiers was polluted by the Nazis, so until now even the mention of the German army has made people directly equated with the Nazis. Although more than seventy years ago, fascism was swept into the garbage of history by the unity of peace-loving countries and people around the world. But politics aside, from a purely aesthetic point of view, the German military uniform in World War II was indeed a handsome and elegant military uniform. In the filming of the second world war, the handsome man who played the German soldier with the handsome German uniform really attracted the attention of many viewers, and in these "beautiful villains", Thomas Kleischumann is undoubtedly a typical representative of it, a "German professional household" that people remember vividly.
Thomas Kretschmann (Thomas Kretschmann), born on September 8, 1962 in Dessau, the former East Germany, since his debut, his tall and handsome appearance and upright and elegant temperament, as well as typical German characteristics and superb acting skills, as well as his own typical German temperament, coupled with the often on-screen portrayal of German soldiers, made him an unprecedented "German military professional" in the hearts of the audience...
Someone once ridiculed: On Uncle Toto's thousand ways to die:
The Hunt for U-571 The captain of the U boat is hacked to death with an axe
"The Pianist" Wehrmacht Colonel Fell ill and died in a Soviet prisoner-of-war camp
"Smoke in Paris" SS Major is killed by guerrillas
The Destruction of the Empire Feigle is executed by the Fuehrer for treason
"Decisive Battle of Stalingrad" Lieutenant Weehance is frozen to death
"Stalingrad" Captain Kahn is shot and killed indiscriminately
Lieutenant Lute is extradited for execution
Eichmann Eichmann was sentenced to hanging...
So, let's follow in the footsteps of the jokers and savor the image of Thomas Kleischumann as a "German army on the screen".
Thomas Clay Schumann in the film The Hunt for U-571
In this film, Thomas Kleischumann plays the captain of the German Navy's U-571 submarine, which is known to have dominated the Atlantic War in World War II, sinking countless merchant ships, as well as British and American warships, which made the Allies feel frightened. However, this is a film that promotes American heroism, so as a commander, Kleish Schumann's fate is also imaginable. U-571 was eventually controlled by the U.S. Military and seized from the cipher machine and the codebook. Thomas Clay Schumann was eventually hacked to death by an axe for his stubborn resistance, and as commander he had indeed done his duty.
Thomas Kleischumann plays a German colonel who eventually saves the protagonist and eventually dies of illness in a prisoner-of-war camp in a Polish film pianist, and it is also one of the most successful image of an officer he has created, although it is only a supporting role, but he is impeccable in any subtle performance from the costume to the look, from the heart to the action. The whole debut process is short and charming, let people watch it repeatedly but without tiredness, and this movie also established his status as a "German professional"...
Thomas Clay Schumann in the film "Smoke clouds in Paris"
In this film, Thomas Clay Schumann plays an SS major, this film is one of his masterpieces as a "beautiful villain", although he is a villain, his superb acting skills and handsome face also make him a little intoxicating, but as a "beautiful villain", in the end he also failed to hold the beauty, with a great loss to die in a foreign country.
Thomas Clay Schumann in the film The Destruction of the Empire
In the film "The Destruction of the Empire", he played Hitler's brother-in-law Figrine, whose fate is generally no stranger to knowing history, so there is no doubt that in this movie, Thomas ▪ Clay Schumann also finally "died"...
Thomas ▪ Clay Schumann in the film "Decisive Battle of Stalingrad"
This was the first time that Thomas Kleishchumann had been listed as a leading role, playing The German Lieutenant Weehhans. As we all know, the Battle of Stalingrad was the largest, most tragic and most critical battle of World War II, and it was the main turning point of World War II. The film was filmed by Germans, mainly from the perspective of ordinary German officers and soldiers, expressing the thoughts and feelings of individuals in the war, and at the same time reflecting the difficult to know cruel side of World War II. So in the end, Lieutenant Weehhans, played by Thomas Clay Schumann, together with thousands of German soldiers, left his life in the ice and snow of a foreign country...
Thomas ▪ Clay Schumann in the film Stalingrad
Like the 1993 German version of "Decisive Battle of Stalingrad", Thomas Kleschumann played a German officer Captain Kahn in "Stalingrad", he was a complex person with a tender side, but he had to kill people, accidentally saved a Russian woman because of her appearance similar to his wife, so that he became deeply attached to her, but at that time, it was destined to be a tragic and fruitless fate...
Thomas ▪ Clay Schumann in the film Ice Front
In this movie, Thomas Clay Schumann plays a serious, kind and beautiful German officer, Lieutenant Lute, in this movie Thomas Kleischumann, young and beautiful, but the reality is cruel, in the end, Thomas Kleischumann is extradited and executed...
Thomas ▪ Clay Schumann in the film Eichmann
In this movie, Thomas ▪ Clay Schumann plays the Nazi demon leader Eichmann, who slaughters thousands of Jews, flees to Argentina after the war, and is finally captured by Israeli Mossad agents, tied back to Israel for trial, and sentenced to hanging...
Compared with these films, Thomas Clay Schumann did not portray all the characters who died in the end. Like what:
Thomas ▪ Clay Schumann in the film Action Target Hitler
Thomas Kleischumann is still a typical German colonel in this film, playing Colonel Lehman of the headquarters garrison, his military temperament stands out among many officers, although he is a supporting role, his glimpse-like appearance often makes the film glorious and tireless. This time, he finally did not have a "death field"...
Thomas ▪ Clay Schumann in the film "Tranzit Concentration Camp"
This is the first German prisoner of war I have seen living in a Soviet concentration camp. The war is over, but the suffering continues. The deeper we understand war, the more we can understand its evils, the deeper we can realize that it is difficult to distinguish between right and wrong, and that both sides are suffering the same. The film reflects the encounters of a German prisoner of war played by Thomas ▪ Kleischumann in a Soviet prisoner-of-war camp, and many years later, some of the German troops in the camp were able to return home, leaving behind the unforgettable smoke of the past and a little contradictory tenderness in the cold of Russia...
Thomas ▪ Clay Schumann in the film The Sinking of the Laconia
In this film, Thomas ▪ Clay Schumann plays The German Admiral Karl ▪ Dönitz, although it is not a protagonist, but it also adds a bright color to the movie...
In these films, although Thomas Clay Schumann is mostly a supporting role, a few glimpses of the stage, a hasty curtain call. But his image as an officer, until now, has left an indelible impression on us. Maybe the years are about to get old, and maybe we won't have many more opportunities to see him on the screen continue to wear a handsome German uniform to create a "beautiful villain" image. In short, if you love him, go and enjoy his films one by one.
