Powell's films are either loved from the start or completely unwatchable. This belongs to the latter. Even if the narrative structure and shooting technology are ahead of the times, this type of subject matter is really...

9. The film is a bit of a reflection, the traditional values of the British army on the front lines of the battlefield at that time did not apply to the threat of the Nazis. The character image is derived from the famous British cartoon image, the ideal and romantic bald soldier. 丨Genius is genius, there are many commendable places, different roles are played by one person, sound changes the bond or alienation of interpersonal relationships, and the scheduling of mirrors is quite wonderful in...

Miss Deborah starred in three similar beauties in the same play, which is considered a feat in the film industry. The third one changed into a military uniform, and I almost didn't recognize it. The worst guy is me. A movie with only English subtitles, luckily the plot is not too difficult, guess...

It is always old-fashioned, but it is also pleasing to the eye. The comic effect of the relationship between the characters, the materialistic flow and the social context can achieve the purpose of war reflection, which is originally a tragedy. It is really addicting. The color is also pleasing to the eye under the texture of the film, which is a great work. Powell just wants to be suppressed by Prey, and can make such a film again (but I still think Prey is too old-fashioned, and then think...

This film is among the finest in the genre of "what it means to be English." All the elements are there: British humor, pragmatism mixed with high principles, romanticism about the empire and a sense that all is not well. Lush cinematography, as...

Hopelessly British, outrageously funny, shamelessly propagandistic at the height of war. A true British...

[repeated line]
Clive Candy: War starts at midnight!
-
Clive Candy: I heard all that in the last war! They fought foul then - and who won it?
Theo Kretschmar-Schuldorff: I don't think you won it. We lost it -but you lost something, too. You forgot to learn the moral. Because victory was yours, you failed to learn your lesson twenty years ago and now you have to pay the school fees again. Some of you will learn quicker than the others, some of you will never learn it - because you've been educated to be a gentleman and a sportsman, in peace and in war. But Clive!
[tenderly]
Theo Kretschmar-Schuldorff: Dear old Clive - this is not a gentleman's war. This time you're fighting for your very existence against the most devilish idea ever created by a human brain - Nazism. And if you lose, there won't be a return match next year... perhaps not even for a hundred years.
