Failed Action Positive Theme

This film describes the biggest airborne operation of World War 2: Market Garden. Although this operation ended in failure, the themes presented in the film are still positive. There is no decadent atmosphere.
Much of the film is devoted to the British 1st Airborne Division (which wears a red beret, hence the name Red Devil). More than 10,000 people from the division participated in the battle and eventually only 1,000 returned. The losses were heavy, but the film fully demonstrated the fearless spirit of the Allied soldiers. Even the lightly wounded stood their ground to cover the retreat of the others, completely unafraid of the possible death threat.

In addition, there is a major from the U.S. military, who is the one who bridges the bridge. How does he look like Ross's father in Friends :) I don't know if comrades pay attention.

    A Bridge Too Far...a movie too long...

    A bridge too far. A movies too long. When I watched this movie in the cinema, there was still a break in the middle. It can be seen that the movie is really long enough, but there are too many big stars, and there are too many things to explain. The director obviously didn’t. Enough skill to interpret this classic battle, if anyone who hasn’t read the original will still be at a loss after watching this film
