There were dishes at home when I was young. Revisiting it after going to university, I have a lot of feelings. The main director of each episode is different, so the narrative and line-drawing techniques also have their own merits. The plot, characters, props, lines, and various famous scenes will not be repeated, as it is a model of war TV series or even war movies. Tell me about your three favorite clips.
1. Dick Winters shot in the foot
Although he was bleeding and wounded, he had some dark humor. At first the officer asked whether the Winters road could be passed safely, and he replied: Yes, sir. In fact, he has been standing there for a long time, and there have been comings and goings on the road long ago. Normally operating soldiers and discerning people can see that the officer's problem is nonsense, and of course he can go. Winters also secretly winked with Nixon, presumably because he felt that the officer was very nervous and unreasonable. But then Winters himself was really embarrassed by the flying shrapnel, which was a bit ironic.
2. Doctor Eugene tears his headscarf
Bastogne's tragedy is vividly displayed from the first perspective of medical staff running errands everywhere: bad weather, scarcity of supplies, chronic diseases, and all kinds of blood and blood. Eugene has never been idle and needs to solve various problems. This also pushed his mental load to a limit (his trance scene is also in the editing of the opening song). The situation at the medical station is not much better than the frontline, but he met the French female nurse here, and gave him some hope in an extremely depressing environment. They had a tacit understanding between the doctors and they also confided in each other's difficulties.
The medical station was shelled, and Eugene turned from the rubble to the nurse's turban. Should have been collected, leave a thought. But when he saw Hefferan with his hand wound in the foxhole, he had no bandages anymore and could only use that turban instead. He hesitated for a few seconds, and finally tore off a part and bandaged Babe.
This part of the turban has a deep meaning. Hefferan's hand injury is not very serious, and he didn't ask Eugene for help. Eugene can leave it alone, not to mention that it is the only thing left by the person in his heart. But he still chose to use it to rescue his comrades in arms, I am afraid he knew that if he changed to that nurse, she would not hesitate. Eugene inherited the mantle of the healer. But he didn't use it all, maybe the wound area was really not that big.
People must be saved, and memories must be preserved.
3. Red German woman and dog
When he entered Germany, Nixon received a letter that his wife divorced him and wanted to take away the house, children, and his dog.
Nixon, first loses his temper and then feels unhappy along the way. On the jeep, he said to Winters: "She hates that dog." Winters couldn't laugh or cry. The troops entered a small town in Germany. Nixon entered a German house looking for drinks. He thought that no one was there. He accidentally broke the picture frame of the German officer on the table (many people said that the officer was a "desert fox" Well, some people say that the military uniform does not match the rank, no.) At this time, a German woman walked out and stared sharply at the uninvited guest with a gun in her hand, without a trace of fear in her eyes. As the victor of the "justice", American military officer, Nixon looked a little offensive and felt boring. Then he was about to turn around and leave. When he walked to the door, the family dog howled at him, as if driving him out.
The existence of a dog is definitely the finishing touch. Later in the episode, the troops found the concentration camp and forced the Germans in the town to clean up the dead bodies. In Winters' words, let these Germans who claim to be ignorant of the existence of concentration camps take a good lesson and gain insights. The woman in red was one of them. When Nixon met her again, she was cleaning in the rotting pile of Jews. The two looked at each other again. This time it was the proud woman's turn to lower her head and avoid her eyes, because she couldn't avoid it. The sense of humiliation. But the role of this woman is not just to serve this scene. Her appearance actually contrasted with Nixon's wife in a sense. The same husband is serving and fighting outside, and the German lady can still guard the home, even without fear of force, and loyal to her husband. Besides, the German officer might have died in battle, but Nixon was still alive. If there is no such dog, this may be an over-interpretation. But when the dog barked and the camera gave a close-up of Nixon's facial reaction, it was basically certain that the director's arrangement had this meaning.
My dog is still doing his best to help the master drive away strangers, but my dog has been abducted by my betraying wife, and it is still a dog she doesn't like.
