This is a movie that was downloaded very early. There can be four ~5 years. I thought it was an IMDB250 series movie, and I watched it happily. Who knows, this "Great Escape" is not another "Great Escape". I actually confused two movies that were both "The Great Escape". The English name of the one listed as belonging to IMDB250 is "The Great Escape", but I see it is "Von Ryan's Express", the only thing they have in common is that the Chinese name is "The Great Escape". I'm so depressed right now, wasting my time watching an old movie that wasn't originally part of the IMDB250. Had to re-download the 1963 one and watch it again. These days, such a thing still happens. It's only the people who translate the two movies into one name. Don't you know it's easy to get confused?
According to the title of the film, the general plot of the film can be inferred, which tells the story of how people escaped. In Italy in 1943, many British soldiers and a few American soldiers were held in Italian POW camps. They have differences, the British want to escape, the Americans want to live well. Not long after, Italy surrendered and the Germans occupied Italy. These prisoners of war were captured by the Germans and put on a prisoner of war train. The Americans had the highest military rank, and the British had to obey the command of the American officers. During the journey, the prisoners of war subdued the German leader, occupied the train, and deceived many German troops, all the way to Switzerland. Nearing Switzerland, they were pursued by the Germans, and the prisoners of war, led by American officers, fought back. However, the heroic American officer was unfortunately killed by the German army. His death allowed many people to escape alive, and the film ended.
The film was released in 1965. Although it has been a while since then, the story is not conventional and gave me a great surprise. The main line of the movie is relatively simple, which is the process of how they escaped. This process is full of suspense. How do the prisoners of war get rid of the control of the German army? How to capture the train? What will the fleeing German officers do? Where did the prisoners flee to? Can we get past Milan? Will it end up in Switzerland? The plot is fascinating and attracts the audience very well. There are fewer and fewer movies in which the plot of the story cannot be predicted like this. The process of watching is very pleasant and a kind of enjoyment. All in all, this is a good movie.
But the films of that era could not avoid the masking and stereotyping of characters. In this film, the German Nazis are portrayed as groups of idiots, the Italians are a bunch of cowards who are afraid of war, the British are stubborn and old-fashioned, and the Americans are witty and brave, leading prisoners of war They escaped and succeeded in the martyrdom of heroes. Beautifying the enemy, beautifying ourselves, and portraying the Americans themselves as heroes really leaves me speechless. Specifically how they shape, I won't say, in a word - unrealistic. Such a stereotyped character looks like I want to laugh. Just like the anti-Japanese war movies we show on TV now, Japanese devils are always foolishly defeated, and our Eighth Route Army is always brave and fearless and won the victory. It seems that Americans have also had such a stage, but this way of portraying characters has been eliminated in Europe and the United States. On the other hand, we still enjoy using it. We are still at the level of the 1950s and 1960s in Europe and the United States.
In addition, in addition to various army and battle scenes, some Italian customs can also be occasionally seen in the film. When they came to Rome, those Roman buildings were really shocking. The rich culture of Italy is breathtaking. It's a pity that these pictures are not many, most of them are some wild scenes. It would be nice if there were more scenes in the city. There is one more thing I have to mention in this film. At the end of the film, the picture of the German aircraft attacking the prisoner of war train is very real. It was amazing to be able to take such a real and perfect aerial picture in that era. It can also be seen from these that this film should be a big production in that era.
The male lead, Frank Sinatra, is a singer, which surprised me. Singers come to play movies, and they belong to the nature of playing tickets. Objectively speaking, his performance in this film is quite satisfactory, not too brilliant, not too bad. The only impression he left on me was an expressionless face, nothing more. The rest of the actors don't have any special impressions, and there is very little information about them on the Internet, so let's not mention them.
In short, a good-looking movie, of course, good-looking means that the plot is good. As for the character creation, let's just laugh at it.
