The face of Jean Gabon

Compared to the famous scene, I think Stroheim's appearance is better, and the camera always ends up on the poster. This film is really strange enough, of course it is good and strange, there is no war scene, but it depicts the differences between France and Germany in the war years, with a kind of absurd cold humor. One thing is certain, the rhythm is very fast, and before the meal is eaten, he will be taken to the prisoner of war camp immediately, and the paintings will be overlaid directly, and a sign of No. 17 will change the scene. The same officers, different status and different treatment, interesting. It was a coincidence that I accidentally downloaded two prison break movies. The moment when the Marseillaise sounded was really sacred. It felt like a poem, and the anti-string actors took off their hats. "The businesswoman doesn't know the hatred of the country, but she sings the flowers of the backyard across the river." It seems that it is indeed the earliest homosexuality. Just like writing an article, in some places it extends a lot, but it is a bit scattered, but I still want to express a lot.

"Don't look back"

"If I look back, I may not leave"

The end of this big vision is kind of divine

    Throughout the whole film, director Jean Renoir has no intention of wasting pen and ink on the passage of prison escape. Through the sporadic escape actions of the prisoner of war camp, it is the most tender and most distressing expression of anti-war. The film features two officers, the French are captured and the Germans are in charge. You are in two different camps in two countries and even sympathize with each other. Although you were killed by your duty, you are the more pitiful one. I am about to be liberated, you are still the neurons in the body of the beast of war, dominated and controlled, always ready to sacrifice your freedom and life, and devote yourself to a senseless war to destroy humanity. Men are most attractive only when they smash firearms and stay away from war, and have the qualifications to be loved and true freedom. The two prisoners of war walked deep and shallow in the snow, dodging the German patrol. Indistinct, both real and illusory, the war is real enough, as if it were imminent. CC number: 01.

    So this is the originator of the prison escape movie! ! And it's much more than that! ! If the so-called artistic tribute is to constantly "draw inspiration" from the innovation of antiques, then all latecomers should die of shame

La Grande Illusion quotes

  • Lieutenant Maréchal: It's not a very common disease in high society. Eh, Boeldieu?

    Capt. de Boeldieu: Yes, but it's a vanishing privilege. Like so much else, it's become popularized. Cancer and gout are not working-class diseases, but they will be, believe me.

    Lieutenant Rosenthal: How about intellectuals?

    Le lieutenant Demolder: In our case, tuberculosis.

    Capt. de Boeldieu: Here's Mr. Pindar.

    Lieutenant Maréchal: And the middle-class?

    Lieutenant Rosenthal: Liver ulcers, they eat too much. We'd each die of our own class aliment, if war didn't make all germs equal.

  • Capt. von Rauffenstein: Give me your word that there is nothing in here against regulations.

    Capt. de Boeldieu: You have my word. But why mine rather than the others?

    Capt. von Rauffenstein: The word of a Rosenthal? Or a Maréchal?

    Capt. de Boeldieu: Their word is as good as ours.

    Capt. von Rauffenstein: Perhaps.
