The plot of this film is relatively general, and maybe the main selling point is a few ladies. At the end of the film, it is mentioned that it was adapted from a real character - Ms. Lewis died at the age of 98 and had no children.
Those who fought in wars always seem both great and small: the greatness lies in the great sacrifices made for the country, which is objective; the insignificance is reflected in the inability to save their relatives and friends or even the unborn child, which is subjective . War is an unforgettable theme forever. In order to cherish the memory of the four comrades who passed away, Louis, who had sworn not to enter the church, offered them a white candle.
It is worth mentioning that the Germans are not vilified in the film, and Colonel Heinrich's performance as an officer can be called competent. This point is worth reflecting on by all Chinese directors. Making World War II films does not necessarily have to vilify the enemy as mentally retarded.
What I don't think makes sense (spoiler included):
5 people have already completed the rescue mission at the beginning, but they are assigned to assassinate a colonel. Although the colonel is set to be a dangerous character who has insight into the D-Day plan, there is really no reason for the five to be assassinated. It is this follow-up plan that killed 4 ladies, and also killed the protagonist's brother who insisted on the glory of the evening (confessed to save his sister). What did it get in return? It was nothing more than killing one more officer, which had no substantial impact on the overall situation of the war. Perhaps this was also a mockery of the war by the original creators.
