Good subject matter is fine. . . The main melody is disgusting

It's bad because its main theme is too strong and it completely ignores the textual research and demeans the enemy

. I really don't know how this film dares to claim to be based on real events. .

About the research: There are few guns, the only bright spot is the Shaosha light machine gun and the Hachkes heavy machine gun. . . The result and together gave 4 shots. . . Shaosha is estimated that it is not a prop gun, so it cannot be fired. . . Too disappointed that the German heavy machine gun seems to be a Vickers not a Mark core. . 1918 was the last year of World War I. . . At this time, it is a bit too watery to use French weapons. . . The only heavy machine gun of the Allies was placed in the first trench. . . An eight-year veteran? I can't bear to go on talking

about infinite demeaning enemies. . . This is the main reason why I gave two stars. To be honest, the battle scenes can still be seen, but. . . What about the German assault squad? . . Even lined up to shoot, I want to shout that the Germans don't fight like this. . .

This director can be promoted to the list of first-class directors in CCTV

The Lost Battalion quotes

  • Capt. McMurtry: What's your name?

    Lipasti: Private Lipasti, sir.

    Capt. McMurtry: Where'd you learn to run like that?

    Lipasti: I used to take a shortcut home through a Mick neighborhood, had to outrun a lotta your "Irish confetti", sir.

    Capt. McMurtry: Well, I'm glad one of my cousins didn't bean you with a brick.

  • [after an incoming artillery round lands dangerously close to the trench]

    Cepheglia: That's just some traveling salesman throwing iron cigars.

    Rosen: Translation: German artillery.

    Cepheglia: Which brings me to stuff. There're two kinds of stuff.

    Rosen: Stuff going out, ours. Stuff comming in, theirs.

    Cepheglia: Mud crunchers must learn to judge between different kinds of stuff. If you here something that whistles and knocks, that there is a whiz-bang. Get on the ground. Sometimes Herr whiz-bang brings along his lady friend, Minnie Waffer.

    Rosen: Minenwerfer.

    Cepheglia: Minnie Waffer sounds like one of those whining hot corn ladies on 10th Avenue.

    Rosen: Nah, it's more like the B.R.T. coming out of the tubes.

    Cepheglia: The thing is that they're real hard to judge. So just hit the ground anytime you hear something like that. And don't worry if it hits you, 'cause they got a lot of other stuff. Like Jack Johnsons, Whimpering Willies...

    Rosen: G.I. Cans, airplane bombs, machine guns...

    Cepheglia: And all sorts of potato masher grenades. Don't worry about any of that 'cause it all comes down to that...

    [shows the troops his rifle with a fixed bayonet]

    Rosen: When you go face-to-face with a mud crunching heinie bastard with one of these at the end of his rifle. You better stick it in him before he sticks it in you!

    Cepheglia: That... you gotta worry about.
