    Magnificent, classic epic. The three-hour movie fully demonstrates the great pride of Anglo-American-French in this period of history. World War II was a catastrophe for mankind, and an immortal epic was born. Sometimes I am a little jealous of Britain and the United States. The original Chinese war of resistance can also be made into a real epic. The Chinese people can also look back on history with pride. The heroes can be praised countless times without hesitation. If there is no war after...

    ①The stars are dazzling and they are in the great cause. Many of the actors have actually participated in World War II. ②For the big event like Operation Overlord, multi-line progress is an inevitable requirement. ③The annihilation of the F company and the tragedy of the war are shown from the perspective of hanging soldiers. Strike the soul like a big bell, be it! when! when! when! ④The French assault team attacked the German building with a 90-second long aerial shot, which requires excellent...

    7.9 minutes, three hours, overall evaluation: difficult. I just think that anti-war war films are better than non-anti-war war films. You say it is anti-war, what's the matter with the cheerful soundtrack at the end? So happy? This feeling is the same as the impassioned soundtrack I heard at the end of "The Hurt Locker." Sometimes the soundtrack can really set the tone of a movie. For three hours, basically they have been patted and fought. Although there was a sentence at the end: "He's dead,...

    The shooting method of this kind of real film is quite satisfactory, which means there is no...

    This film describes the most exciting battle on the Western Front: the Allied Normandy counterattack. The movie 50 years ago is not inferior to "Saving Private Ryan". The funniest clip is that the small American troops who have been separated actually pass by a low wall with the German troops, without squinting their...

    "The Founding of a Nation" was deeply influenced by this film. Big scenes, big themes, and nearly a hundred celebrities made guest appearances. It is rare in black and white films with an investment of 10 million. A lot of live shooting, a lot of aerial photography, it is estimated that Spielberg is jealous. The Allied US Army, the Allied British Army, and the German Army, from high-ranking officers to ordinary soldiers, and ordinary people in France, advance in parallel. "He's dead, I'm lame,...

    After reading it, I have strengthened my completely anti-war...

    Orlando took one and a half hours to talk about 400 years; the film took three hours to talk about a day. Sure enough, the feeling of the movie is the same as that day: long and suffering. This kind of war movie is really not...

    I haven't watched it as a child. It's hard to tell whether this panoramic arrangement is good, and the film is very old. But there will be no other forms of story expression that surpass this...

    In the 1962 movie, it seems that the big scenes are still outdated, with dozens of characters all vivid. It can only be said that film technology is advancing, and human nature is...

The Longest Day quotes

  • Brig. Gen. Theodore Roosevelt Jr.: As best I can figure it, we're on the wrong beach. The control boat must have been confused by the smoke from the naval bombardment. They landed us about a mile and a quarter south of where we were supposed to land. We should be up there.

    Col. Caffey: I agree with you, but what are we gonna do now? Our reinforcements and heavy equipment will be approaching in a very few minutes. What happens if they land at the right beach?

    Brig. Gen. Theodore Roosevelt Jr.: The reinforcements will have to follow us wherever we are. We're starting the war from right here. Head inland. We're going inland.

  • Mayor of Colleville: [meeting the British on the beach] Welcome; welcome, friends. I brought champagne, but I do know think it will be enough for all of you.

    Lord Lovat: Quite alright. We have a pressing engagement; the war. Move inland.

    [to his bagpiper]

    Lord Lovat: Millen, Blue Bonnett!

    [as British troops march inland to the bagpipe playing of Millen, the mayor of Colleville raises his champagne bottle in salute, which earns the bemused observation of Clough and Flanagan]

    Pvt. Clough: [to Flanagan] If you ask me, Flanagan, there are a lot of pretty peculiar blokes on this beach.
