I read the label repeatedly, it's not a comedy, it's not a comedy, it's not a comedy, the director should be making a serious movie. The subject matter is good, but it is too weak to implement the actor's plot setting and screenwriting skills.
First of all, the first time the German soldiers and the British soldiers met, there was no life-and-death scene as imagined. It seems that the German soldiers and the other allies of the Axis countries meet, and the comrades are different. This harmonious atmosphere makes the contradiction between the latter two less prominent. (An illusion as if the British soldiers were visiting the leader's house)
The second German soldier was armed with firearms. Even if the British soldiers were protecting their self-dignity, they could not frequently provoke the German soldiers. Originally, it was freezing cold and supplies were in short supply. It would be good for a prisoner of war to have food to eat. Still chattering, talking about the "Geneva Convention", really the gun in the waist is a decoration, really the German soldiers won't shoot. Is absolutely food more important than human life at this time? This kind of hostile atmosphere is too bad. German officers have been putting up with the demands of British prisoners of war. I can't stand it anymore. Is this the bloody Third Reich army?
Third, when Germany and the United Kingdom got along at the beginning, I felt that the scriptwriter gave too many lines. Since the hostility is not incompatible, they should be silent at first. In the end, various things caused the German officers to slowly begin to change their feelings towards the British soldiers. Treat them as friends, let go of hatred and guns, and respect each other.
Fourth, it is precisely because the previous hostile hatred was not created enough that the British and German soldiers later reconciled, faced life and death together, and sneered at war.
In short, the contradictions are not prominent, the contrast is not strong, and it cannot be shown that the soldiers are killing machines and political victims.
