Samuel Fuller is a fan of B-level films. This "Red One" cost only 5 million US dollars, which is simply incomparable with ordinary World War II blockbusters. It is very glorious to be nominated by Palme d'Or of Cannes. When it went online, it was forcibly shortened to 2 hours by the film company. The version I am watching now is 3 hours to commemorate the director's death. I edited it again this year and digitally corrected it. It was very enjoyable, but unfortunately it was not edited by the director himself.
I love watching movies of World War II, and this one is really outstanding. The opening scene in France, the black and white, oil painting composition only fascinated me. The re-recorded 5.1 soundtrack is also very exciting, and the sense of envelopment is definitely not in the past. The most powerful thing is that with only 5 people, it can depict the magnificent European battlefield of World War II, and it will never let you see the poor, powerful?
The clue of the story is the history of the Red First Division’s participation in the battle of the Undead Group of Five. In fact, the entire historical facts are similar to the experience of the 101st Airborne Division in "Brothers", from North Africa to Normandy, to Berlin, and tank battles. Tunnel warfare, street warfare, jungle warfare, desert warfare, landing warfare, and jungle warfare are all available. It is a must-have for war movie lovers. There are many elements of post-modernism or nonsensical and black humor. It is best to look at "Private Soldier Lane" and see what it is called by Lao Si? The ever-changing stunts have been ruined for nothing. The starring role is Lee Marvin, a tough guy who used to be the one-time star, you can recognize it when you look at his face. Another Mark Hamill is very funny, Luke Skywalker in "Star Wars", haha.
Personal favorite place: When Normandy landed, a watch on the wrist of a dead soldier showed a difficult and tragic process. It was a pity that I used it a little more often, a little regret.
