      To enter the context of the environment, to understand.

      Germans speak English and I'm drunk too. But everyone is used to it, just like in the ancient films made by Chinese people, everyone speaks Mandarin Chinese. It wasn't for the Germans after all.

      Good story, 1-10, 8 points. There are no action scenes, the whole process relies on the story and acting skills, and almost all key and directional issues are not explained in one sentence.

      To understand this film, you must first have a simple understanding of World War II. Be...

      see "exceptions"

      "Exception" is not an exception.
      Exception 1: Captain Brandt, because he was born in Brandenburg, belonged to the family of Ludendorff. So, after the events in Poland, survived Hitler's punishment.
      Exception 2: At the beginning of the film, it is revealed that Captain Brandt is a veteran of bed games. He knows what he has, what those beautiful spies need, and of course, how to exchange with these beautiful spies.
      Exception 3: When dispatched to the Netherlands, when the old...

      Recommend some similar movies

      3.5 stars now! The proportions of the male protagonist's body are really hard to describe... But there is absolutely no resistance to this kind of war movie of falling in love with the enemy! Although there is no meeting between the male and female protagonists in the ending, but the love has crystallized, and the female protagonist has also sent her home address to the male protagonist. Everyone must be happy! It would be nice if the process of falling in love between the male and female...

      A good movie is about human nature

      I watched it twice in one night. The first time I was casual, I looked at it while I was busy with other things, but I found that the story was better than I imagined, so I calmed down and read it again seriously. A good movie and a good story really touch the heart, this is a good movie that sees humanity! The exiled German emperor told the queen in the woods that he would never return to Germany. It was his dream for more than 20 years to return to the country, but it would be better to be...

      Facts and Reality: Respect for History

      The fictional spy + love story is placed in a completely restored real historical structure, without the slightest change or destruction of the original historical appearance, showing great respect for history, which is very worth learning from Chinese editors and directors.

      William II's personality is relatively full, and the performance of the old drama bone Plummer is as high as ever. William II collected a large number of old uniforms and military uniforms, which were often...

      Very good subject matter, very unique perspective of watching World War II, but the filming is so bad, it shows how bad the director and screenwriter are. The director is obsessed with inexplicable love stories, and the actors' performances are...

      Completely conquered by the youthful bodies of the two people~ I knew from the first glance at the eye contact that love or some kind of fatal attraction, one face-to-face is enough. No extra crap or action. Compared with the two, Courtney is more affectionate. Nazi officers + war trauma + perfect body, the taste is wonderful, unstoppable. authentic...

      The last emperor of Germany during World War II was jointly shot by the United Kingdom and the United States, and the whole process is English. The 87-year-old Plummer plays the Emperor, focusing on the bizarre love story of a young man and a woman. In fact, the whole story is fabricated, only Churchill's invitation is real, the British burden is buried deep, no wonder there are no Germans participating. 6...
