Army of Shadows

One of the leaders of the resistance movement, Jebier, escaped from the international concentration camp by killing the German guards. Soon, Gepier went to England to receive the honor of General Charles de Gaulle, but after learning that Felix, the interim leader who replaced him, was arrested, he parachuted back to the country overnight to rescue him. After several twists and turns, they have never been able to rescue their companions. Felix and his best friend Francois committed suicide in prison. Jebier was later arrested, and Mathilde orchestrated his rescue. While Jepier was recovering from her wounds, Mathilde was arrested, and her daughter was used as a hostage by the enemy to force her to confess to her companions, but in the end she died under the guns of her companions.
The characters in this film, unlike the heroes of the romantic works, fight for the good of the collective and the nation, but succumb to emotional weakness and personal motives. The film has a deep style and dignified color, which realistically restores the hard and cruel fighting life of the French underground guerrillas during World War II. It creates a few heroic characters in a low-key and simple documentary style, and puts them in a helpless and crisis-ridden situation. Difficulties are clearly manifested. The film also uses a variety of artistic methods to vividly and forcefully express the author's reflection on the resistance movement and its era. It was officially released in mainland my country, and the performances of the male and female protagonists were quite eye-catching.

    Probably one of the best movies ever made about the Resistance/Underworld. 1. The characters in Melville's films always seem lonely, stern and resolute, but their hearts are buried with struggles and questions, and weak moments are blocked out of the picture. A fatalistic sense of hopelessness is intertwined with belief at a critical moment, as in Camus' Sisyphus. 2. The film is immersed in a dark blue, claustrophobic composition, minimal editing and scheduling, omitting white space (such as torture scenes), quiet performances and amplified sound effects weave a brutal and tense struggle. The net, in which everyone is deeply immersed. 3. The scene of two executions of traitors/compromisers is shocking, cold and helpless. 4. Game of chance at execution in the bunker: should you run? 5. If I don't believe (death) until the last moment, I will never die, what a great discovery. PS: Subtitles have been revised by a substantial refinement~~ (9.5/10)

    Even unpleasant memories I accept because those were my distant youthful years
