      Fruit Soldier

      Well, the Netherlands has also contributed its strength in the fight against the atrocities of NAZI across Europe. The university quintuplets are not monolithic. Some have joined resistance groups, some have made trouble for Jews, and some have just joined the SS without fighting.

The protagonist Rutger Hauer...

      The grievances between the Orange Legion and the German tanks are always full of stories to tell, huh... a film made with conscience, but unfortunately the method is not handled properly. As for the famous tango segment... it's actually the more interesting tone of war and...

      Re-view in 2021, the different life trajectories of the embarrassing Dutch Alumni Association under the wave of World War II, how absurd the hilarity of the first acquaintance is, and how trembling the death at the end is. The line of tragic man two directly raises the historical weight of the whole film. The standard war movie hero framing, shots and scheduling have emerged, and Verhoeven's erotic humour has taken...

    Evaluation action

    The film is occasionally interesting, but the overall feeling is a bit bloated and complex. The actor became an international star in one fell swoop and sent the director into the embrace of Hollywood. Although the film has a huge production, it does not cover up the depiction of characters with luxurious scenery, and it does not portray the protagonist as an omnipotent superhero, but is very humane. The film has both epic spectacle...
