Every war is a collective outing for mental patients

At 80 points, after watching the Red One column, I discovered that at least two places in the "fury" I watched a few days ago are obviously paying tribute to this classic old film. Camouflage of the tank. I watched more war films that focused on one battle. I just watched the first half of the film where the small teams rushed to and fro multiple battlefields. I felt that the film was a bit fragmented and had low fluency, but the second half was relatively much better. It should be said that this is a classic of a war movie and it is very worth watching.
There is no shortage of classic shots, such as putting a condom on a gun, haha, it’s amazing! For example, the captain said when appeasing the team members: "We will not murder animals, we just kill them." Probably this sentence is a classic for soldiers to solve their own ideological problems, so in the following shots, the enemy generals repeated this sentence again, except that the "beast" was replaced by "enemy"; beach landing The toilet paper tube that was exploded by a gun and the helmet full of flowers given by the girl to the veteran are also magical; the movie does not forget to come to the first echo at the end, the difference is that the last thing that brings us is a sunny ending, the players We carried the enemy a few hours ago to peace.
There are many statues of the crucifixion of Jesus in the film. One is the beginning of the film, where flies are covered around the deep black eye hole invisible to the Son of God, and the other is the German captain slowly coming down from the hidden Jesus cross, chasing the sunset. And then, the background sound is the inner voice of a soldier who just delivered a German pregnant woman in a tank, "We got a lot of medals, not because we brought a new life to the world with our own hands, but because we killed a lot of German soldiers." Such a lens is an awesome lens.
During the gun battle in the mental hospital, a mental patient also grabbed a gun and fired it frantically, shouting: I and you are in the same group, and I am a normal person. This is the most bitter irony for people in war. At the end of the film, through the words of the "writer", it said that survival is the only glorious thing in war.

  • [the Sergeant affixes a cloth red '1' to his uniform. The Captain is drinking from a bottle of booze]

    The Sergeant: What do you think?

    The Captain: What the hell is it?

    The Sergeant: It's a "one". First Infantry Division. The Red One; think General Pershing will like it?

    The Captain: Oh, sure.

    The Sergeant: I got the idea from the cap of a Hun I killed.

    The Captain: When?

    The Sergeant: About an hour ago

    The Captain: Did he yell out anything?

    The Sergeant: Oh, the same old Kaiser stuff, you know, "the war's over," all that junk.

    [the Captain hands him the bottle]

    The Captain: Finish it.

    The Sergeant: Sir?

    The Captain: Finish it. The Armistice was signed, at eleven o'clock this morning. The war's been over for four hours. You didn't know it was over.

    The Sergeant: ...*He* did.

    Zab: [narrating] A quarter of a century later that piece of cloth from a dead Hun's hat had become famous all over the world. It was the insignia of the First Infantry Division. The Fightin' First. The Big Red One.

  • Zab: [narrating] You know how you smoke out a sniper? You send a guy out in the open and you see if he gets shot. They thought that one up at West Point.
