He showed complete calm and bravery in the war, but lacked sufficient strategy and wisdom: many escapes were purely by extraordinary luck; the price of blowing up the enemy ships was the enemy's crazy counterattack and the death of a large number of comrades in arms (this made me Reminds me of the urban labor movement led by the Comintern in China in the 1920s). It was his personality that Max Manus became a war madman, and he could eventually become a national hero, but he just chose justice.
The angle of the movie depicting fighting heroes is different from that of ordinary movies. Max Manus has a sullen face all day long without a smile, and he is ruthless when he kills young Soviet soldiers in the snow. He is completely a cold-faced killing machine; Acting clumsily and failing in love... In general, this should be a person with a low emotional intelligence score. In today's peaceful era, he would be the one called loser.
Most of the characters in the film are archetypes, and the actors and archetypes are quite similar, if you recognize them carefully at the end of the film. It seems that the director somewhat wants to make it a biopic.
In addition to the subtitles that I can't understand, the structure of the film is also a bit broken, the rhythm is not good, and many places are unclear. When I look at it again, it is a Norwegian, Danish and German co-production. Alas, a Nordic film, it is difficult not to let him have a bit of literary flavor. After thinking about it, I recognized it.
The above is my interpretation. I believe that what most people see is not this Marx Manus.
