doomed to failure

April 9, 1940, the day of the war in Denmark. A bicycle platoon against an armored division is not as tragic as the Polish cavalry wielding a saber slashing a tank; a four-hour blockade is not comparable to China's eight years of resistance—now corrected to fourteen years of resistance. But a small country has the dignity of a small country. In a battle that is doomed to fail, what is the point of perseverance?

I was surprised that such an important film in Denmark, the national treasure actor Mikkelsen ("Casino Royale", "Doctor Strange") did not appear in the role. Checked the cast and found there was a "Mickelson". It turns out that this Mikkelsen (the big boss of the third season of "Shen Xia") is that Mikkelsen's brother.

April 9, 1940, the day of the Danish war; April 9, 1940, the day of the surrender of Denmark. On the same day, the King of Norway was also making a difficult choice of war or surrender. ("The King's Choice" 2016)

Different from the grand theme of World War II in the past, I learned about a history that is not worth mentioning. Maybe because the two countries do overlap in ethnicity, there is not so much hatred between big countries and families for ordinary people, and the battle scenes are very carefully shot. Look at war from another angle.

very fresh. Unseen bikes, helmets and coffee pots. The perspective is also more interesting. Unlike many of us who died, in Denmark, where there were not many casualties, there were already a lot of two people.
