Lonely brave in the face of fate

This turned out to be a 1969 movie

so wonderful

Every shot is clean

Gray-blue tones, elegant, timeless, cool, tense

Revolution, resistance, cold season in Marseille, cold and cruel

Concentration camp Catholics die silently, confused people play cards

Police station flees

Barbershop Goodwill Swap Coats

Tears when the traitor was strangled with his bare hands

Hesitation when skydiving

everyone is afraid

Fake betrayal, send yourself into the tiger's den

Looking at the despairing backs of comrades away

Misunderstood until death

Even if I love the boss and the theory, I still want to live

I don't want to run away like a rabbit

But still want to live

Luke is also in the butcher's car

Not sure why Martide was released

She is a great woman, no one is braver than her

But still kill her

One had time to swallow a poison pill

One was beheaded in a German prison

A tortured to death who only confessed to a name is himself

Philip, this time the choice did not run

The revolution is vigorous

Revolution is also a turbulent undercurrent

for the sake of sacrifice

Everyone foresees their own destiny

to fight every chance

It's all about faith and courage

a person, a group, an organization

    (5 stars in 20160316) Photographer Pierre Lhomme was still young at the time and had not taken important works. After "Shadow Army", he took Bresson's "Four Nights of a Dreamer", Erstache's "Four Nights" The Mother and the Whore, Avery's Maurice's Lover, Nutan's Rodin's Lover, etc. He said that after working with Mayville, he felt that he had truly become a photographer. Another older than him, Walter Wottitz, who was in charge of planes, ships and special effects photography, later filmed Mayville's "The Great Dawn". Although the tone design is consistent with the film, the lens scheduling is much inferior. . Demarsan's composition in this film and "Red Circle" is admirable. The film's structure is loose, and while each paragraph is interesting, the ideas that run through it are less perceptible, and of course, the title makes a good statement. The old man of "Silence of the Sea" also participated.

    Abandoned heroism and injected more reflection, the performance is quite tense, but it looks a bit rigid, four and a half stars

Army of Shadows quotes

  • Philippe Gerbier: See you later, Comrade.

    Legrain: ...You're a communist?

    Philippe Gerbier: No. But I can still have comrades.

  • Claude Ullmann dit 'Le Masque': Still thinking about the others?

    [referring to the resistance fighters, who, like him, were targets in the German shooting gallery]

    Philippe Gerbier: No, I was thinking of the officer who was sure I'd run too. Like a scared rabbit...
