D-Day is the longest day. In order to express the longest day, the main creator did not hesitate to stretch the length of the film to the extreme 178 minutes of ordinary movies, and the physiological time has reached the effect of the title of the film.
The biggest highlight is probably the poster above, the stars in the sky. Of course, compared to [Founding of the People's Republic of China], the bigger bright spot is that although the playing time of the stars is also not much, the victory is that the roles are quite distinct. This highlight makes all the non-action scenes of the 3-hour movie very exciting, and the lines of different styles and various small details make most of the characters impressive.
Of course, the most exciting part is the foreshadowing of the first hour. The film panorama shows the pre-war situation of both sides of the war, from generals to commanders to soldiers and even local residents, especially most of the lines revolve around the weather and waiting, completely creating a mountain The atmosphere of rain is coming and the building is full of wind. Although we all know the whole result, there is still a kind of tension between the two sides in the process of watching the film, which makes people hit the knot!
The production of the whole film is quite excellent. Different characters speak different national languages, and there is even a distinction between British and American pronunciation. The above mentioned various wonderful detail settings, such as the comparison of the two appearances of the German Coast Guard, and the comparison of the same pair of Rommel shoes. On the one hand, these small details enrich the fun of the movie; on the other hand, it makes the movie characters more coherent and complete, without the feeling of sudden appearance, which is really the best way to deal with "stars" movies.
Of course, the only problem is: when you go through [Saving the Privates], [Band of Brothers], [Iwo Jima] series, [Blood in the Pacific], and then look back at this '60s war movie, the war scenes in it are It's not going to be so easy to accept - [The Longest Day] is grand enough, but compare it to Omaha Beach, where Captain John Miller hides his head and Norman Cota walks around with a cigar...
the soundtrack is who? The soundtrack is classic. It turned out to be Maurice Jarre, well, this guy is a classic too...
