      The paratroopers are like jellyfish
      soldiers who learned from a child living in the Netherlands that there was a tank ambush on the road, but the coach did not want to let the plan have any influence, so he concealed the intelligence. But it was this ambush that caused the Allied tanks and soldiers...

      The Allied defeat in World War II after Normandy

      I had nothing to do on the weekend. I wanted to watch the newly staged "Thor". Because of the cold weather, I didn't make it. I watched TV at home and rotated the channels. When I arrived at the movie station, it happened that "Distant Bridge" had just started, so I watched it. Down. But the film...

      7/10. Revisit. It's too detailed, but many of the scenes are beautifully shot and have an epic spirit: the idyllic Dutch scenery, the swinging clock, the airborne Allied troops above the church falling like flowers from the sky, marching as briskly as an outing, receiving The street full of flowery flags and welcoming crowds, which contrasts with their ultimate failure to lose their dignity, at the end, a group of wounded Allied soldiers sit on the ruined graves, singing chants, waiting for the Germans to come, sheltering the Allies in the setting sun. The Dutch family of the army is displaced, a child walks in the rear imitating the army footsteps, and the British desire for victory comes at the cost of the pain of the war. As a British film controlled by the United States, it shows a cold and humorous temperament. For example, the Allied armored forces were ridiculed by a group of mentally ill people in the forest. The red berets that are needed, when the blood and tears of the war are regarded as an adventure game by the command, the dignity and rules that the British abide by cannot save all this.

    A Bridge Too Far quotes

    • [an SS officer is approaching under a white flag]

      Major Harry Carlyle: Rather interesting development, sir.

      [to the German]

      Major Harry Carlyle: That's far enough! We can hear you from there!

      SS Panzer Officer: My general says there is no point in continuing this fighting! He wishes to discuss terms of a surrender!

      Major Harry Carlyle: Shall I answer him, sir?

      Lt. Col. John Frost: Tell him to go to hell.

      Major Harry Carlyle: We haven't the proper facilities to take you all prisoner! Sorry!

      SS Panzer Officer: [confused] What?

      Major Harry Carlyle: We'd like to, but we can't accept your surrender! Was there anything else?

      [German officer walks off]

      Lt. Col. John Frost: Well, that's that.

      [the officer returns to General Bittrich, and they converse in German]

      SS Panzer Officer: They rejected our surrender offer. What are your orders, Herr General?

      Lt. General Bittrich: Flatten Arnhem.

    • Field Marshal Model's aide: Field Marshal, thousands of paratroops have landed in this area, three kilometres from here.

      Field Marshal Model: What? Why? There is nothing important here... me! I'm important! They must've landed here just to capture me.

      [stands from his lunch and moves to the door]

      Field Marshal Model: Get my car ready.

      [makes to leave]

      Field Marshal Model's aide: Yes, sir!

      [about to leave himself]

      Field Marshal Model: [pops back in and shouts] And don't forget my cigars!
