Once again deeply touched by Kubrick, human selfishness, cowardice, vanity, etc. all evil roots will sprout on all stages, whether it is in times of peace or war, whether in art, politics, economy, just all . A colonel with integrity and passion, who puts people first, you call him idealistic. Seeing that his vain and vain superior can't go against him, he seeks a higher level of "help". And Kubrick's strength lies precisely in the delicateness. He did not portray such an officer as a foolish person who only rushed to the end with a bloody sense of justice. In reality, it almost does not exist. In order to strive for as much help as possible when he sought help from a higher level, he also showed the smooth side of complacency, pointing out that the final credit should be given to the general, but the story was changed.
Of course it didn't work
The last scene made my nose sour. A beautiful German woman was sent to sing and entertain the French soldiers. The soldiers who hadn’t seen a woman for a long time snorted frivolously and lewdly. After the song, the men slowly stopped their flirtatious gestures and voices, and sang along one by one, one by one with crystal-like eyes, one by one shed tears???, an enemy woman sang French their own songs, sing away their tears.
