A different perspective on WWII

Amy 2022-01-29 08:07:22

This is a film about World War II from a German perspective. It reflects the war-weariness and anti-war theme in the German army in the late World War II, when Germany was invincible for a long time.
It has the heroic image of the American test
but lacks the traditional image of German strict discipline in American blockbusters.
Especially the attitude of the protagonist Stana when answering questions from the superiors and their saluting gestures always gave me the illusion of "this is an American movie".

Cross of Iron quotes

  • Captain Stransky: A world without women. It's an old theory of mine. Men can get along without women easily. Easily. I tell you a man's true destiny is not just breeding children, all this childbirth and chocolate, but to be free. To rule and to fight. In other words: to lead a man's existence. Women are no more than a nuisance. Sometimes necessary.

  • Unteroffizier Krüger: Stop your fuckin' silly game! This isn't a brothel, this is a war!
