So tonight, I walked to the theater a few steps away from my house, and I really wanted to verify whether Pitt’s RAF protagonist was SOE, and I always wanted to see whether his wing chapter was RAF or RCAF during the movie. However, the lens dangled and did not give close-ups, only the words Canada on the shoulders were seen. Diehl’s Nazi character is soy again. At first sight, he is still embarrassed + happy. What’s so embarrassing is that he is blessed. What’s so happy is that he is always happy to see him guest appearances. He is still very nervous to play this kind of nerve-racking negative role. It's awesome, no matter how small the role is, the role is still eye-catching. After so many years, the most impressive and best role of him is still the SD official in "The Ninth Day." He worked with Pitt in "Inglourious Basterds" earlier. To be honest, Pitt in the film with the French guerrillas is really a bit of a rush to possess the protagonist of "Inglourious Basterds" and "Furious"; to make up for the German tank soldiers. The shot of the gun, in principle, the SOE has to be cruel and ruthless to be realistic.
Marianne and Vatan’s tragic love, personally feel that they are quite satisfactory and complete the task. There are no special highlights (a section in the locked car when the sandstorm strikes is reminiscent of "The British Patient"), but it is not annoying at all. Marion behaves better. Pitt is much better, she is very suitable for this image of disappearing without leaving her real name, but Pitt's relatively dull silence does not need to be criticized, I think it is also quite suitable for the role of Vatan. In the movie, Marianne tells the audience that the real Vatan, not the disguised agent Vatan, really doesn’t like socializing. When the couple lived in London, Marianne, who was always active, radiant and likable, had a lot of friends with her. He didn't know who his friends were, but Vatan was like an outsider, unable to integrate into the seemingly happy life. His dream is always that little quiet pastoral, Marianne did not wait for the chance to enter. In the love between two people, except for Vatan's phrase "Follow me to London and marry me" after escaping from the dead, Marianne took the initiative, Vatan reacted passively, was taught, pushed away, and the real act was done. Marianne said that only by investing in real feelings can you be fooled and survive. In the end, she killed herself and saved her husband and daughter. What was true and what was false was no longer important to Vatan. He never knew the real Marianne Beauséjour. It was this woman who married him and gave birth to a daughter. It was this woman who abandoned herself to protect him. It was this woman who almost made him betrayed the charge of treason.
I gave this movie four stars because of the theme of SOE and seeing the Lysander airplane. Lysander is not the famous RAF classic fighter or bomber in World War II, but it is definitely regarded as a meritorious aircraft in the history of British special operations behind enemy lines. During the period before the Normandy landing from 42 to 44 years described in the film, Lysander played a significant role in supporting SOE's operations behind enemy lines. It played a significant role in evacuating SOE agents and crash pilots behind enemy lines. It has a short running distance and can take off from tight air at a low cost. There is a fixed gangway on the port side to facilitate rapid climbing into the cockpit in an emergency. There is a huge auxiliary fuel tank in the abdomen, which is still quite eye-catching. The crew cockpit is suitable for rescue and evacuation tasks. Modifications have also been made, from only accommodating one person to barely accommodating two people. I remember that when I read An Act of War Revisited in 12 O'Clock High (1964~67), the author deliberately set up a Lysander to transport four people from France back to the United Kingdom with General Savage, who was temporarily acting as the pilot. In a difficult situation, the three SOE personnel in the rear crew cockpit were huddled together in a very embarrassing posture. They were already stiff and numb when they returned to the U.S. Army Air Base in the United Kingdom. This fan article made me understand the structure and characteristics of the Lysander aircraft for the first time, and learned that it plays an important role in SOE operations behind enemy lines. Vatan mentioned in the movie that he used to drive Lysander to participate in combat operations. Then he may have been from 138 Squadron (the first RAF squadron specially established for SOE missions in August 41, followed by 161 Squadron, equipped with Lysander mainly for For evacuation rather than airdrop missions).
A movie dedicated to SOE agents’ operations behind enemy lines, including Ill Met by Moonlight (1957) starring Dirk Bogarde. Based on the original work of the same name, Dirk played the role of Major Paddy Fermor (DSO, OBE, the planner and implementer of the kidnapping of German generals in the movie). ), the head of SOE Crete, the deity is also very interesting and legendary. The original is the memoir of his deputy Billy Moss.
The SOE entry in the wiki says that RAF, especially the Bomber Command under the leadership of the bomber Harris, refused to assign aircraft to SOE; the Navy Department also refused to allow SOE to develop its own submarines... SOE agents with complex composition include bombers and submarines. For support, let’s use Lysander obediently ==
Historically, RAF's fighter ace Count Manfred Beckett Czernin was recruited into SOE in the late World War II and was active in the Italian theater, and thus won the DSO award.
The air raid in the middle of the dinner party in the movie should be during the Operation Steinbock initiated by Luftwaffe (January to May 1944, the last large-scale bombing of the German Air Force combat aircraft against Britain). Some viewers on imdb mentioned that there was an LW bomber that crashed across the roof of Vatan’s house. When it fell, it was a suspected Dornier Do 17 with double vertical tails (should be Do 217, an upgraded version of Do 17). The wreckage in the daytime became The suspected Heinkel He 177 with a single vertical tail, and the audience said that it was a four-engine captive version of the B-17 during the day (never used by LW for actual air strikes)... This is more interesting, but unfortunately I didn’t watch the movie at all. If you noticed what the crashed German bomber looked like, students who haven't seen it can pay attention to it here to see what it is, whether it is really a double vertical tail at night and a single vertical tail in the daytime! As for the American B-17 captured by the Germans for actual airstrike operations, there is this scene in the TV series 201 of O'Clock High. General Savage is so convenient. Of course, the story is purely fictitious and has no historical basis.
(In the LW bomber unit participating in Operation Steinbock, the main combat models are Ju 88, Ju 188, Do 217 and He 177. Do 217 is essentially a medium bomber, and He 177 is a real heavy bomber; the main combat aircraft equipped with Do 217 The units are III/KG2, III/KG6, and I/KG66. The combat units equipped with He 177 are I/KG40 and I/KG100. The three squadrons of the two brigade have a total of 46 He 177s, of which 42 can actually fight.)
The character of Matthew Goode complained that Vatan sent him to fly a mission with fierce anti-aircraft fire, which resulted in disfigurement. He didn't understand how a wing commander could order a group captain to fly a combat mission (dieppe according to the plot)? If it was promoted later, then a disabled RAF officer whose rank was lower than or equal to Vatan was promoted to G/C, but Vatan was still W/C? Moreover, for W/C who participate in actual combat operations rather than logistics and civilian work, the duty position must be at least the squadron leader. Assuming that MG is the wing commander during the Fidiep mission, a squadron leader, Pitt can order him, and the rank can be leveled. Level, the duty position must be higher than him, what would it be? Temporary acting captain? Then he moved to SOE again? ...And he said that he flew to Lysander before, and put it together, he was like the squadron leader of 138 Squadron before working as an agent behind enemy lines!
This is the temporary perception and divergence.
