An Australian war movie, the cost is not high, but the effect is very good, truly reproduce a thrilling past in the First World War. The Battle of Messine Ridge, also known as the Battle of the Highlands 60 in this film, was the most successful battle of the Allied Powers, killing and wounding more than 20,000 Germans. It is also the conventional explosion that caused the greatest casualties other than the nuclear explosion. What is the story behind this event that shocked the world and made history? This is what the movie will tell us. The film is adapted from real events, but the film does not describe the big scene of the war positively, and there are not many scenes of flesh and blood, broken arms and legs. The cruelty of the war is more described through the inner depiction of the characters, through Woodward The memory of the war and the way the war advances crossed, and finally the opening and the end of the movie coincide, and the scene of Woodward’s marriage appears, which also indicates that the good life is finally here, but the people who died in the war eventually become memories, and it is these many little people who change After history, it is precisely because of these tens of thousands of sacrifices that people's accusations of war and the yearning for peace have been exchanged. The film uses delicate techniques to soothe the contrast between lightness and suppressing darkness, gradually transforming Woodward from a miner manager to a leader on the battlefield, and from a person who is not caring about the battlefield to a calm decision maker on the battlefield. When Woodward first arrived in the tunnel corps, he was faced with a loose and ununited team, including veteran Fraser, father and son soldiers Jim and Walter, timid and timid, etc., and of course there was military discipline. Now, everyone must obey the order, but in the battle of Red Fort, Woodward’s bravery and benevolence, pioneering actions and excellent skills helped him quickly win the respect of the players. Then the team came to the 60th Heights. Several players The sacrifice made the remaining team members more cherish and unite. Tiffin went from a soldier who shivered and sobbed when he heard the artillery fire and finally grew into a warrior who could face death calmly and peacefully. Woodward made his own choice and persistence. Spirit, finally successfully detonated a thrilling blast. The film indirectly describes the ruthlessness of the war through the description of the growth and human nature of the characters, and describes the cruelty and helplessness of the war through love, friendship, and father-son relationship, and some of the disharmonious command in the army, the hard work and persistence of the German soldiers, are also indirect. The war was sued, and the explosion was successful. Oliver Woodward was also awarded the rank of major general in the field army. He was one of only four Australians to be awarded this honor. But 60 Heights was again occupied by the Germans a month later. As the German soldiers said in the dialogue, 60 Heights has become a symbol, not giving up, is a sense of honor, but also a sign, it is a pity whether it is an Allied soldier or a German soldier, They have all become victims of the war, which is really sad. The 60th Heights eventually caused the casualties of 800,000 soldiers. This history should indeed be remembered to alert people in peaceful times. The film uses a lot of close-up shots and boring sounds to render the depression in the tunnel battle. The gloomy shots and the dirt-covered soldiers, coupled with simple sound effects, are full of tension and fear. The film has a unique way of drawing moments. It reflects on the ruthlessness of the war through the growth of a person and a team in the background of the war. It is really a good war movie!
