Too classic is worth watching and pondering over and over again

It’s too classic to watch and ponder over and over again. A simple depiction of the landing of Normandy. This historic battle is different from the color film to save Private Ryan. Personal emotions are relatively objective to state the military judgments of the two sides. The biggest feeling is that although the scale of the war is very large, it does not excessively exaggerate how heavy the war has caused people. Added a realistic feeling to capture the small town. Long shots taken with aerial photography are impressive.

It can be seen as a Normandy documentary. The filming is advanced from both sides of the Allied and German forces. It is generally objective, but it is inevitably a bit messy.

I'm really not interested in war movies, and it took me a few minutes to finish watching the nearly three-hour movie. In order to remember the titles and relationships of the characters, it is often necessary to go back and look again. It is said that this film is the most expensive black and white war film other than Schindler's List...

Col. Josef 'Pips' Priller: [speaking in German] Thank you, my dear Hans! You have just killed both of us!
[slams down phone]
Luftwaffe major: It is getting very difficult to get any sleep around here.
Col. Josef 'Pips' Priller: Your prospects for a long sleep have just improved. The invasion has begun at Normandy. We are to fly there and attack with our two planes.

Capt. Colin Maud: [walking up to a stalled vehicle] My old grandmother used to say anything mechanical, give it a good bash.
[Hits hood with his swagger stick]
Capt. Colin Maud: Try it now.
[vehicle cranks]
Private Flanagan: [to Clough] Sure, now; that did it.
[notices Maud looks at him]
Private Flanagan: Ah, now that's what I call a hell of a man!
Pvt. Clough: Aye, I like his dog too.
Capt. Colin Maud: Move inland. The war's that way.
