Stayed up late to watch the Oriental Movie Channel and finished the movie at around 3am. I remember when I seemed to have glanced at it before. Now it's all over. The entire film's reproduction of the atmosphere of World War II is really exquisite.
1. Put the perverted murder case and the assassination of Hitler together, and put the murder case that happened during World War II and the murder case that happened in France in 1965 together. In such a short period of time, the images of German high-ranking officers during World War II were restored, including General Gabler, who was speculating on the wall, General Kallenberg, who was thinking about doing something, and General Tanz, who took Van Gogh as a mirror. And of course Colonel Crowe. In the war-torn battlefield, thousands of people died in normal war years, and some people persevered in the case of a vile prostitute in the occupied area, questioning and tracing the generals whose rank was much higher than their own. This person is a German military officer, both as a screenwriter and as a Chinese audience 40 years later, I think it makes sense. Can you imagine such a Japanese officer?
2. After watching the film, I couldn't help but be impressed by the rigorous attitude of the film workers at that time. According to the content, this film should be shot in many places. For example, General Tanz used flamethrowers and bombed buildings with artillery in Warsaw. It was winter, and people who escaped from the house slipped and fell on the ice on the road when they were shot. In July 1944, when Tanz went to Paris , the wind is sunny, and the people are dressed lightly. When I watched this film, it had been going on for a while, and all I could see were people in German uniforms at the military headquarters and at balls. . . I can't help thinking to myself, what kind of movie is this? The further down you look, the more flavorful it becomes. The screenwriter's strictness and carefulness, and the director's grasp of the rhythm, make the whole film present a multi-layered, large-capacity, fast-paced situation. Now, even in Hollywood movies, who can express so many things in 150 minutes, and they are organized and echoed before and after, and they are not foolish. After thinking about it, it seems that there is only "Lust and Caution". Good things can only be felt, not spoken. Think about how rich a few mahjong games are.
3. This is an authentic British film. In the end, General Tanz was allowed to cut himself off. Just like Agatha Christie's novel, it is also a kind of mercy to let the criminals keep their last face. But the criminals at that time also had backbone, and General Tanz was a soldier, so he would simply kill himself without dragging others down. After all, people at that time were somewhat decent.
4. That French policeman is the hero in "Old Gun". In the play, Romy Schneider's doctor husband is a German devil who single-handedly occupied his home and killed his family.
