The distant bridge and the longest day are typical of the filming of the WWII period in the past, that is, the whole process is explained in detail, interspersed with the stories of the little people (but now it is the story of the little people, interspersed with the big background), there is no way... . History has different requirements for war movies...

This movie is a gospel for military fans. 101, 82, Red Devils, and SS Panzers are just a uniform temptation. I like the allies in this movie the most. when boarding a panoramic view and a close-up of a large force to the general, through the lens of the Allies expressed strong heart and ego, more than 82 teachers commando bridge when ordinary soldiers for their own command and respect for life, and so on ...

vertical Watching the entire movie, it’s probably good for people who don’t know this history to understand...

PS.. Arnhem Angels are really beautiful!

    I watched it at Central Six when I was a kid. This time, I found out that there are so many stars in it.

    ①The style is partial documentary, the lineup is All-star, which is better than grand, and loses more than rough ②Boarding is magnificent, and the airborne is magnificent. This kind of movie scene is unprecedented. ③Since you can guarantee that others will not die, then you must have the courage to cross the line of fire. Snatch it back and do not hesitate to do medical trouble ④ The Polish airborne brigade’s experience made the words of the Polish general even more sad and helpless. ⑤ Knowing that Bittrich’s armored division was in Anhang, the Allies still threw moths to the head, and the soldiers had always been used. The cautious Montgomery fought like Cai Xukun in Operation Market Garden
