For the first four episodes, I liked the male lead's skill - his unsuccessful attempts again and again, his frustrated expression
Love the laid-back Italian vibe, the scenery, the soundtrack, and even the colors throughout the shot
Moreover, it is indeed a comedy, for example:
· The stupidity of the instructor is funny - one of the laughs - in episode 5 when Milo is dodging the German fighter but can't start the car he says this is an order, funny. The second laughing point – he was furious at an aerial photo because it was not blown up. He was so angry that he said a lot of cruel words, and someone whispered, sir, that's Vatican turned out to be the Vatican, hahaha, this meme I can laugh for a year.
· Milo – Isn't this the big gimmick in China, funny. Honorary mayor of a city in Italy - aren't they at war, at war?
· The instructor played by Hugh Laurie, when he arrived at the German control zone, still resolutely jumped up the Nazi flag and removed it. It was funny.
· Clooney, it's still funny to see him out of breath berating the instructor
While there were a lot of deaths in the first four episodes, it was really either a comedy or a 5th episode with a twist, gramophone, animal cruelty, and murder – not funny at all
In the last episode, the male protagonist was worried about himself and the details of wearing funny pants and not being able to walk normally. In fact, his back has been penetrated, and his internal organs have fallen out, until this little boy has been holding back the expression and the male protagonist has been saying I am sorry. The brutality of the war seemed to make people breathless, he was only 18 years old. Here, it's not funny at all. His reaction, his massive trauma, was too profound to be funny. The male protagonist lost all his friends, and here, there is no laugh at all.
After reading it, I suddenly felt extremely heavy. No wonder the original is one of the most classic and best novels of the 20th century.
Stunning drama, with acting, plot, details, laughter, and depth.
The male protagonist is no longer the counter-attack and somewhat annoying ex-boyfriend in Girls.
Plus, the GI clothes are really cool - Americans are confident, so unnerving and calm is the key to their coolness.
Must be five stars.
