Shortlisted in the competition section of the Berlin Film Festival. Laughing alone. Note: In the film, the heroine played by Sophie Marceau has a wonderful line of running on the French gangster - "You do it for the Germans at the beginning of the war, and you do it for the British at the end of the war. Damn, I can't find someone more French than you!" What makes people feel sad is that Sophie Marceau, a generation of beauty in the French film industry, is already old. During this period, the fate of the demolition expert beauty who became a traitor and committed suicide is quite embarrassing, and it also shows once again that being arrested is more unfortunate than dying in battle.

IMDb has a rating of 7.0 for this movie. 【Two Comments by Netizens of the Film】 "The Heroine Behind the Scenes": The plot is compact and lacks innovation Author: Zhuoqin (Taipei) maubuee.pixnet.net (Ruffie Bang·Mobier Lakeside) Sep 27 Sat 2008 22: 25 "Heroes Behind the Scenes" is based on a true story, and the protagonist, Louise, was inspired by Lise de Baissac. Liz and her younger brother Claude joined Churchill's Office of Special Operations (SOE) in rebellion, an intelligence-gathering and sabotage agency. Liz was one of the first women who parachuted to France on September 24, 1942, to engage in intelligence activities. A British officer once said that Liz contributed a lot to the activities of the British underground resistance movement and the guerrillas in France, and her efforts facilitated the advance of the US military into the Mayenne province. After the war, Liz married and settled in Marseille until her death in March 2004 at the age of 98. In the past, the status of women in France was low. Although many women and men engaged in resistance activities during World War II, their deeds have always been little known. Director Jean-Paul Chalomé made the film as a tribute to these unsung heroines. In the film, he makes some changes to the story of Liz and Pierre, Liz becomes Louise (Sophie Marceau) and joins other female members - Jean (Julie Debaddieu). ), Susie (Mary Gillan), Gaelle (Deborah Francois), and Maria (Maya Sansa). Jane was a prostitute and was sentenced to death for murder. Suzy was a dancer and was engaged to an officer of the German Nazi Black Shirts. Gael is from Brittany, a devout Catholic and an excellent chemist. Maria is an Italian Jew, and her whole family was taken into a concentration camp, where she was in charge of intelligence communications during the mission. In 1944, a few months before the Allied landings in Normandy, a British geologist was dispatched to the English-French Channel to perform a survey mission, pretending to be German wounded soldiers and admitted to a German hospital. In order to try to rescue the British intelligence unit, the Special Operations Bureau urgently arranged for Louise and her younger brother Pierre (Julien Boiselle Julien) on the eve of the Normandy landing. Boisselier) goes deep behind enemy lines to cover rescue operations and prevent intelligence leaks. Louise recruited Jane and the others to take advantage of the night to parachute to Bishop's Bridge City (PONT-L'EVEQUE, Calvados Province) to carry out the mission. Although the first mission was successful, the Nazi Colonel Heinrich knew the function of the pontoon at sea and wanted to personally inform Marshal Rommel, forcing the six people to continue to die and prevent Heinrich from succeeding. The stories set in World War II are too numerous to count. Although Jean-Paul Chalomé used five actresses to tell the story, except that the protagonist is a woman, other parts are not very innovative. It can be said that after five plus one (five women and one man) rescued the British geologist from the mission for the first time, the story fell into the stereotype of "mission - betrayal - torture - escape from death", of course. The middle supporting role will die a lot, but not the first protagonist. Perhaps for Sophie Marceau, who almost every director doesn't waste her talent and capital every time she acts, the role of Louise slightly changes her way of acting, making her both masculine (a brave thug) and vulnerable. (Facing the sacrifices of colleagues). On the contrary, Moritz Bleibtreu, who plays the villain, is more impressive. Of course, it may also be because I am a female audience! In the scene where Heinrich and Susie reunited in the hotel, Susie pointed a gun at his former lover Heinrich, but he couldn't do it. As a result, although the two were lingering for a while, in this case it's either you die or I live Under the circumstances, Heinrich, who was so ruthless, just got rid of his old lover. Afterwards, he scolded Louise for not taking advantage of Susie, and transferred her to another place to be imprisoned. In addition to the lack of originality, which makes the whole film similar to TV movies, the whole film is actually quite exciting and the plot is compact. In addition, the set is said to be very faithful to historical facts, especially the scene at the subway station. From this point of view, "Heroes Behind the Scenes" (this is the translation found on the Internet, it seems that Taiwan has not yet introduced this film) is still a good movie - although this time the audience will not see Sophie Marceau's crisp breasts. "Heroes Behind the Scenes": The storyline catches people, and the adaptation traces are obvious Author: Floating Cloud (Nanchang) blog.163.com 2008/09/30 17: It is said that Xilinyi, who is like a floating cloud, is adapted from a real person, but the traces of the adaptation are obvious, and many scenes still give me a sense of deja vu. A drama film with the theme of World War II agents, the storyline is still quite catchy, you can watch it, but there is not much value for analysis. On the eve of the Second Normandy D-Day, the female agent Lois (Sophie Marceau), who had just lost her husband in battle, received a new assignment in London before she could heal her grief. Mission 1: Form a special operations team and fly to France to rescue a wounded geologist trapped in a German military hospital. He has just completed a secret investigation of Normandy. Once he falls into the hands of the German army, not only will the mission of investigating Normandy be impossible to complete, but even worse, the Normandy landing plan will be exposed and the operational deployment of the British and American forces will be disrupted. Mission 2: Assassinate a German Nazi officer who was aware of the Normandy D-Day plan and is organizing a search for geologists and preparing to report to Berlin. The special operations team, in addition to Louise and her brother, also has a stripper who is convicted of murder and will be sentenced to death; a female demolition expert, a devout Catholic; a little-known dancer, once Betrothed to a German officer, then escaped to London. Another female agent was in the hospital ready to receive them. The enemy is ferocious and cunning, and the task is difficult and arduous. The special action team finally completed the task against all odds, but except for Louise, all the other team members sacrificed. The female agent starring Sophie Marceau is one of the biggest highlights of the film. Compared with a few years ago, Sophie Marceau is also a bit older, but still beautiful and stable in acting. Although it is the first time to play such a role, the image of a well-trained, calm, and emotional heroine is created with layers and depths. Live up to my preference for her. The characters of several other members of the special operations team are also very distinct. What impressed me the most was the demolition expert, a young girl with little front-line combat experience. After she was captured, she saw Louise's younger brother, who was also captured and beaten inhumanly, in the cell. She was so frightened that she urinated her pants on the spot. Later, the Germans tortured her by pulling her nails. He continued to torture and became a traitor. In the end, she chose to commit suicide to wash away the stains on her body. A hero on the battlefield is a little better than a hero in a cell. Humans are all fleshy, and they will feel pain, timidity, and fear. Heroes are admirable. But this girl also makes me sympathize. My recommendation index: 4 stars (reviewed in December 2008, re-edited in March 2019)
