Mrs. Hollywood

German films are either as tangled as "Under the Berlin Sky", or as cold as "Other People's Lives", and the short essay "Temptation Holiday" also contains a layer of Nietzschean questioning.
It's a pity that war movies have to continue the path of "Empire Destruction" or "Stalingrad", it seems that they themselves feel a little too serious.

"The Red Baron" is a hilarious point of view. The legendary air combat hero has earned the respect of his teammates and adversaries alike, and there is no need to worry about accusations like "beautifying the devil".

The narrative is fully Hollywood. At the beginning, the three brothers of the Richthofen family were hunting, and then they were attracted by the plane of 1906. The boss Manfred, the future red baron, galloped on his horse, his arms were flying, and it seemed to be a personal version of "Pearl Harbor"...

10 Years later, the eldest of the Richthofen family and his teammates were like Valkyries, playing a low-altitude flight and throwing flowers on the coffins of teammates who died in the enemy area. How does this bridge look like the "Star of Africa" ​​Marseille Especially performing for the marshals, picking up the handkerchief on the pole with the nose of the machine...

Meet the nurses in the field. I have to say this, the actor Matthias of the Red Baron is really capable. He can turn all the actresses in the opposite drama into little mothers. Where is his overly handsome face...

I don't know if it was deliberately changed, and he became an air force during World War II. The Marshal's Wolfram von Richthofen was Manfred's cousin, and he became a younger brother in the film...

In order to avoid suspicion, the Red Baron did not give the future leader of the Luftwaffe, Goring, behind him. Tiny shots. The latter, as the last captain of the Richthofen Squadron, also had a record of shooting down 22 British and French aircraft on the Western Front.

In order to please the Allied audience, this German-made hero biopic is all spoken in English, with German dubbing.
