I don't understand why so many people rate 3 stars. At least in my opinion, "Remagen Bridge" as a war movie of the 60s has all the elements it should have. The plot is tense, the scenes are grand, the characters of the two sides are depicted with flesh and blood, and the thinking about war is everywhere. . . . . . Perhaps people have become accustomed to the modern Hollywood style of storytelling, and without a romantic love story performed by a handsome man and a beautiful woman as the main line, they always feel lost.
Of course, in order to achieve a gripping effect as much as possible, this film has done a lot of processing on the details on the basis of historical facts. In terms of real history, the fall of the Remagen Bridge was less decisive, and the process was not as close and tense as the film describes it.
The film's depiction of the German soldiers is, as always, full of contradictions. In order to guard the bridge, he devoted himself to his duties, and took the lead. In the case of almost no troops, Major Brian persisted to the last moment with unimaginable tenacity. In the end, he was only dismissed by "my own" and disobeyed the order. The result of being shot on the grounds of this shows that Western countries have both awe and ridicule towards Nazi officers - no matter how powerful you are, after all, you are helping Zhou to act against the sky, and you will only harm yourself in the end!
Still, I have to admit that the image of the German soldier on screen always fascinates me. They are handsome and personable, and always remain graceful whether they win or lose; they are calm, witty and brave, and they never give up whether they win or lose. Major Brian in this film is actually a fictional character, but his image is indeed typical of Nazi generals.
The final scene of the film is unforgettable. Brian was escorted out of the SS headquarters for execution. Before leaving, there was a sudden roar of planes in the air.
Brian looked up at the sky and asked the executioner: "Ours or theirs?" The
executioner replied: "They are the enemy's planes, herr major."
Brian thoughtfully: "But who's the enemy?"
. . . . . .
There are both good and bad sides to a country. Why isn't that the case for a person? The progress of human beings comes from constantly overcoming the evil obstacles in the heart and overcoming the inherent "evil" in human nature. So in the final analysis, the only one who has to win is yourself.
