World War II Epic Movies

Fox's turnaround is also the culmination of the climax of World War II epic films in the 1960s. From a panoramic point of view, the film is still very successful, at least much better than the Soviet-style meeting + war, as always, with some small characters throughout the entire battle. However, it is precisely because there are too many characters, and there are not many impressive characters. There is no other way. Like the later "Distant Bridge", such a panoramic view of a movie that shows the military operations of thousands of horses will inevitably fall into Everything is covered, but the dilemma that can only point to the end. In view of the limited age, some details have also appeared in the film. For example, the sound of the K98 rifle is too exaggerated to be similar to the cricket sounder, and all the paratroopers are wearing infantry boots.
In addition, there are really stars in the film. For example, in a scene where the veteran tough guy actor Robert Mitchum landed on the beach, he saw many young actors jumping into the sea contemptuously when he saw many young actors unwilling to go into the water because of the cold water. Sometimes, there are more heroes, and I am also very *some.

There is also Maxwell’s shrewd actor in the confused detective, Don Adams, who also plays a U.S. captain, not to mention the one played by Sean Connery. The nagging Bren machine gunner.

The Longest Day quotes

  • Maj. John Howard: [charging the Orne River Bridge] Up the Ox and Bucks! Up the Ox and Bucks!

  • Lieutenant Colonel Benjamin Vandervoort: I don't think I have to remind you that this war has been going on for almost 5 years. Over half of Europe has been overrun and occupied. We're comparative newcomers. England's gone through a blitz with a knife at her throat since 1940. I'm quite sure that they, too, are impatient and itching to go. Do I make myself clear?

    Capt. Harding: Yes, sir. Quite clear.

    Lieutenant Colonel Benjamin Vandervoort: 3 million men penned up on this island all over England in staging areas like this. We're on the threshold of the most crucial day of our times. 3 million men out there, keyed up, just waiting for that big step-off. We aren't exactly alone. Notify the men, full packs and equipment 1400 hours.

    Capt. Harding: Yes, sir.
