The 1943 movie "Battlefield Bells" was adapted from Hemingway's novel "Who toll for the death knell", directed and produced by Sam Wood, starring Gary Cooper and Ingrid Bergman. The original book "For Whom The Bell Tolls" is based on the Spanish Civil War. Hemingway used hundreds of thousands of words to describe what happened in just three days. The details are detailed and deep, and there are many psychological descriptions and monologues. Although the film is very loyal to the original, it lacks a lot of psychological portrayals and monologues. The theme of the original is relatively unobvious. Moreover, the love tragedy of the hero and heroine is really heartbreaking and more impressive. It ignores the others. Therefore, Hemingway himself said that his novels are not suitable for adaptation into movies. The large amount of detailed description and the analysis of inner monologue will always be weakened by the lens. But the actor is Hemingway's most satisfied actor. After watching the whole film, I was moved several times by the gypsy woman Pilar Pilar. The actor Katina Passiono who played her also won the 16th Academy Awards for Best Supporting Actress and the No. The 1st American Film and Television Golden Globe Awards Film Category-Best Supporting Actress Award, Katina Passion’s will Pilar’s enthusiasm and boldness, love and extensive performance are all well performed, even to be fought by her He doesn't lose to the fan of men's demeanor at all. This is probably the kind of temperament to be praised in Hemingway's novels. In this fatalistic gypsy, we can see the harmony and even integration of nature and human society. She comes from primitive nature, but she is so bold in this struggle. No hesitation with righteousness. The movie is in color, so you can see the faces of Cooper and Bergman. Some people say that Cooper's performance is very dull, but after all, Hemingway created a cold-faced and passionate hero. How impassioned the performance is, it is enough to look at his eyes (do you feel forced to explain).
