      For whom the death knell sounds

      The 1943 movie "Battlefield Bells" was adapted from Hemingway's novel "Who toll for the death knell", directed and produced by Sam Wood, starring Gary Cooper and Ingrid Bergman.

The details are detailed and deep, and there are many psychological descriptions and monologues. Although the film is very loyal to the original,...

      [Film Review] For Whom the Bell Tolls (1943) 7.4/10

      Always a mug's game of transmuting any literary tome onto the silver screen, yet ever since the dawn of cinema, the 7th art has been strenuously taking it on itself to entertain the multitude by visualizing any number of canonized texts with all its ropes: truncating, dumbing down, ellipsis, reinvention, et cetera, whether with or without its author's blessings.

      Hemingway's FROM WHOM THE BELL TOLLS, one of his best novels, is published in 1940, and for the film adaptation, the...

The first part is too procrastinated, but it is a great achievement for me to appreciate the "colored" Guba and Bergman. one piece. In addition to bombing bridges, many scenes of guerrilla warfare are quite shocking, and many pioneering scenes, such as you can find the shadow of the last scene of...
