There are very few scenes of war that really show in the film, most of which are various games of the generals on the march, open and secret battles. The coalition of several countries will always produce various contradictions and frictions. Fortunately, the ultimate goal is the same, but some processes are delayed.
Successful generals always seem to be stubborn, prescient, and fearless. They dare to do things that others think are absolutely impossible. Like Li Yunlong.
A few points are quite touching.
First, the big bosses of several parties did not show up, but only gave instructions. It is very intuitive to show that "the general opens his mouth, and the soldiers run and break their legs".
The second is the insertion of black and white newsreels. No matter how much success or how many casualties, it seems now, or people in the safe zone at that time, it is just a result, some numbers, cold and ruthless. God knows what happened to the soldiers.
The third is the incident of General Patton's "slapped" soldiers. There will be many mappings by now. The minor aspect is the distortion of facts by public opinion. He just slapped the soldier on the hat and never slapped him insultingly; and he had already given an order not to allow the retreating soldier to enter the ambulance tent. The soldier violated the order first. But on the other hand, war does force countless soldiers into battle.
And because of this incident, it completely wiped out all the hard work of the general in the early stage, which makes people feel resentful.
Fourth, the war was over, and General Patton was unemployed. Li Yunlong's life in the later period is also, various incompatibility when he was educated in school. The impact of war is so bad. In the end, General Patton almost let the bullock cart hit it, which is also ironic. In fact, generals are also ordinary people, and they can also be injured and die.
Fifth, the general stood on the ruins of the ancient battlefield, recalling all kinds of history, and half-jokingly said that I was who I was at that time, as if it were true.
Sixth, the general is always reading a book.
Seventh, the composition at the beginning is really visually shocking.
