There is always a sermon in old war movies, but there is also an ancient truth in this sermon. The mutual attraction after abandoning the country and language, whether it is the same sex or the opposite sex, this kind of sympathy is touching. Different from many war films of later generations, it is often mixed with personal ambition, political conspiracy, and cruelty of death and injury. There will be purer affection in it: the sincere love between brothers, the stab in the back between confidants, the deep affection and no regrets between lovers, especially the affection of confidants who know each other from different countries is the most eye-catching. Usually female characters are the embellishment and sustenance of male emotions, so the emotions between male comrades-in-arms or friends and enemies are often more prominent here.
The prison officers sang and danced in women's clothes. It was absurd and ridiculous. However, the good news of the motherland made everyone sing the national anthem in awe. Behind the huge reversal is the unyielding soul of the soldiers and their nostalgia for the motherland.
The film tells the story of how three officers during World War I were shot down by Germany and then captured and then escaped from prison. It is very old and is known as one of the greatest "prison break movies". I don’t know if it’s a translation problem or the introduction is wrong. I always think that the protagonist Podio is British, especially his gestures and living habits are similar to those of the British. The important thing is that he and the captured British in "The Bridge on the River Kwai" The officers are very similar in appearance. Perhaps this male character with a slender, pointed face, an orderly life, a very principled approach, and a demanding gentleman's demeanor has become a typical British gentleman in my mind.
The luckiest thing in the world is to have a confidant, and the most unfortunate thing in the world is that a confidant is also an enemy
I don't know if Stephen King got inspiration from the way of digging tunnels in this film. In this "Big Phantom", the clods are stuffed into clothes and brought to the playground quietly, and the tools used to dig tunnels are various. Yes, one of the spoons dug a hole in the wall is the most amazing (I don't think the quality of German prisons should be so bad). The film shows the dangers of digging escape holes without team assistance, such as the lack of oxygen in the hole, which is easy to faint and even life-threatening, the soil is not easy to hide, and the escape place happens to be a place where the jailer can guess and catch it easily, etc. To escape from prison or unite as one. As a modern audience who has been poisoned by various crime movies, horror movies and suspense movies, it is difficult to understand that the entire prison shown in the film is twisted into a single rope and is not afraid of punishment to help two new officers escape from prison. I prefer to believe the "more people, more pig-like teammates" model in "Prison Break".
The Queen of Russia sent a box of books to her unfortunate officers who were imprisoned, and the angry officers burned them down. During the war, don't ask too much of people's moral standards
There are two things in the film that moved me: First, the German officer and the prisoner Podio met at the same time. The sense of confidant generated by his political opinions and identity made him willing to sincerely communicate with him, and even understand and forgive the latter's deceit and concealment. It's a pity that in the war years, everyone was burdened with involuntary responsibilities and missions, and it was impossible for two of them to live together; second, the soldiers at the end of the German border chose to let it go in the face of prisoners who had escaped to Switzerland. When the movie shows the Germans, it is more about their unrequited actions and the desire for peace of the civilians. Before the outbreak of the Second World War, there were still too many war fantasies in this "The Great Phantom". But the anti-war ideology is obvious to all.
It is said that "Prison Break" is about to start filming again, and my favorite T-bag is also returning, and I suddenly feel motivated to follow the drama. This complex anti-social criminal is too bad to be noticed. His badness is far greater than the history of his attempts to show goodness. However, what emerges from him is the tragic product of various injustices and dark sides of society. A prominent substandard product under the entire distorted system, not knowing how to hide it has to resist more and more violently. I dare not say that anyone has a heroic complex like Mike's in their hearts, but I believe that there will be a dark T-bag waiting for the opportunity in their hearts.
