      This is not alone fighting

      Absolute five stars. From the beginning to the end, it is a miracle that a person can escape from war for 59 days and survive for 59 days. This one has become the hope of many Norwegians, and finally defeated the dignity of Lieutenant Fascism. The movie is adapted from real events. There will definitely be some scenes that take care of the plot of the movie, such as skiing over the garrison position, falling military emblems in the hayloft, and elk crossing the border, but compared with the...

      the twelfth man behind

      When I was reminiscing about this wonderful and tense film, a feeling of national glory slowly filled my heart and lungs. When eleven Norwegian companions failed to destroy German strategic facilities and were killed, the last warrior overcame all difficulties and miraculously escaped from the pursuit. I had to admire the warrior's will and courage, but slowly, I discovered the group of Norwegians who were standing behind him despite the danger. Who was the twelfth person? I think of my own...

      All conditions are indispensable

      In the film, the protagonist's mission is to destroy a strategic stronghold of the enemy, but as the situation changes, his mission becomes to survive tenaciously and successfully escape the enemy's control. And a person's rebirth is fierce, and other people's help is indispensable. When his mission becomes a myth and forms the common ideal of everyone, the spiritual power of the mission itself is sublimated. There are three factors for Yang's success. The individual...

      He is a hero

      "The Twelfth Man" (Norway??) The movie is based on real events. The background is that 12 Norwegian soldiers infiltrated Germany during World War II to perform a secret mission. 11 people were arrested and the 12th person escaped. Knowing what he experienced in the cold, bad weather, and being injured, he had to avoid the search of German soldiers. Although there were kind people helping him along the way, his pain and suffering along the way were still indescribable. With his strong...

      Um

      A mid-level historical biographical film, a little too formal in some places. The film "The Twelfth Man" tells the story of one of the twelve Norwegian spies alive to pass information to the Allies through Nazi-occupied Norway. Adapted from a real event in history, the idea is very good, the Norwegians contributed to the just war to save Norway. However, the overly stylized treatment makes this film not a classic. The driving force of the entire film is external conflict, which the Nazi...

      The slow undercurrent of the plot is turbulent, Norway is magnificent, and the scene of escaping in the snow with the help of the Sami and reindeer at the end is too magnificent. It's like the Norwegian version of...

      It is also the anti-war drama of the protagonist's halo. The Nordic people's filming is refreshing and not greasy. Of course, the whiteness of the cold and the unshaven Viking's blood is a lot of extra points. More importantly, it does not deliberately output politically correct values, nor I hope you will be born with patriotic pride after reading it. I just use empathy to photograph the faith and courage in extreme environments, as well as the desire for survival, which is far more touching...

      Every nation fought hard and made huge sacrifices for the victory of World War II. Looking at our own heroes, and then looking at other people's heroes, allows us to experience the war more...

      Interspersed with the close-up of the face and the distant view of the scenery, the Viking atmosphere is firmly rooted in the Nordic water and soil, and I feel that I can breathe the cold air through the screen, and it is also more helpful to this nation's brothers and sisters who are similar to blood. sub-understanding. In contrast, the German officer line appears to be quite deliberate and redundant, more like forcibly changing the book and adding drama to promote the Irish international star...

      Watching it with a preconceived view of real events, it has a sense of substitution, the plot is compact, and the actors perform...
