Too ambitious to be mediocre

It's rare to see such a big movie. The film, starring Bruce Willis and Colin Farrell, touches on World War II themes, war scenes, concentration camp scenes, courtroom scenes, and themes of racial issues between blacks and whites. The all-encompassing nature has created its biggest flaw. The intention is twists and turns but the theme is not clear. All aspects want to be taken into account but cannot be expressed well, so there is a suspicion of running accounts.

There is also a difference in this film, that is, the Nazi officers in the concentration camp actually sympathize with American prisoners of war, and there is no cruelty at all. The life of the prisoners of war in the prisoner of war camps was a thousand times better than that of the Jews, and I think the conditions of the dormitory of the Celestial University 20 years ago were only the same. There were cards to play, drinks to drink, radio to listen to, and even a theater for prisoners of war. A murder case occurred among the prisoners of war, and the Nazi officers actually agreed to the American prisoners of war to be tried in a military court. Although the climax turns around, it still makes people feel quite awkward.

The overall production level is okay, the fault is that the screenwriter has too much ambition and the director's skills are mediocre. Several of the WWII movies I watched recently featured the tall, thin forests in Germany with no branches and leaves in the lower half. I have a deep understanding of this thing. I drove back from Hahn Airport in the middle of the night and went the wrong way and strayed into a large forest of this kind. Imagine that in the middle of the night when we can't see our fingers, we are the only people in a car that get lost in an unknown desolate forest with no top and no branches. The forest is still filled with fog. The breath makes me shudder every time I think of it.

    What is truly shocking is that racial discrimination can be higher than the hatred of war. And this movie promotes the belief that individuals can be sacrificed for the benefit of the country, and one person's life can be sacrificed for the lives of most people. As a soldier, his mission is to dedicate everything to war, at all costs. In all these war-distorted concepts, there is really no such thing as glory.

    Is the character's motives too noble to account for mental activity, or is the acting too poor? Bruce Willis has been playing this kind of role for decades. There was originally a good basis for a story. Unfortunately, the characters are very simple. The only one who is fuller is the German officer.

Hart's War quotes

  • Staff Sgt. Vic W. Bedford: Take that you bastard!

    Lt. Lincoln A. Scott: Careful Bedford. That's a nigger you're rooting for. Tail's painted red, that means he's 99th, right out of Tuskegee, boy.

  • Col. Werner Visser: Strange thing about war wounds- the older you get, the less proud of them you become.
