"The Longest Day" is mainly narrative. It describes the ins and outs of the historical battle of the Normandy Landing from all aspects and angles from the Allied, German and French resistance forces. Unsuccessful will become benevolent, and the allied forces have courageously rushed to the beach, and dealt with the tragic battle from the water to the land in one go. The film’s grand layout and grandeur are remarkable, and the inscriptions on figures such as decision-making generals and landing soldiers are also vivid and profound.
"The Longest Day" uses the different perspectives of the British, Americans, French and Germans to show how the Allied forces launched an offensive against the Nazis in Europe during the Normandy Landing. As for the soldiers, a series of characters are also portrayed vividly, which is considered to be a coffin for the frontal representation of World War II with traditional methods. The film also makes the audience realize that war is not a simple conquest by force, not a game of death by chance, but a cruel struggle between wisdom and courage.
