An epic epic, a great friendship, two true gentlemen. The exquisite flashbacks, running through World War I and World War II, are the legend of the generals and horses' life, and also the flash of the spirit of the times, shining with the brilliance and warmth of infinite humanity. The assessment of the Nazis is very accurate, and at the same time, it reflects the essence of World War II: this is not a gentleman's...

comedy? epic? war? Can't get caught up in any kind of brilliance. Powell is attentive to detail scheduling and carving and Pressberg's script that perfectly combines romance, irony and philosophical thinking. The story spanning 40 years did not catch me for a second. On the one hand, it was the combination of cleanliness, fast rhythm and dense lines that I did not covet in one place; pleasure. Moreover, it is a war movie without frontal war scenes. The root of war and politics is human...

1. A masterpiece! Condensing the 40 years of a general's life, two main lines: the eternal friendship between two British and German officers, and General Candy's lifelong infatuation with a woman (image), plus three major wars. 2. The play is exquisite, with a ring-shaped structure linked end to end, and key time and space are selected to unfold. Although the connected scenes overlap, the perspectives are different. 3. Cross-border friendship, which begins with a fair and ritualized duel and...

It's very beautiful, and the acting and makeup props are very good, but it's a bit difficult to position. The time span is 40 years, and there is such a grand background as World War I and World War II, but it does not feel epic. It's a personal growth story, but the characters haven't changed much. There are reflections from World War II on World War I, and regrets for the death of chivalry, but they are not the point. The length is very long, and I feel that there are too many results I want...

[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.
