Well, of course, maybe because I'm a layman, I can't really appreciate the subtlety of it.
The whole plot is clichéd to the extreme, and it simplifies a lot of what should have been a highlight. For example, the gesture of the British officer in the bar accidentally revealed his identity, so I began to wonder how the two sides could get out of it now? But obviously I'm not as high as Quentin. His old man didn't even bother to think about this issue at all, so he wiped out the audience like this~~ Then at the end, it made sense for Susannah to be killed, and then I started to wonder about this. How to continue the playback of the video? How should she and the black guy's plan be implemented? It turned out that the film had already been edited, and the fire and explosives arrived on schedule... It was really cool to watch the Nazis, including the Führer, being swept into a honeycomb, but shouldn't it make the whole plan aborted more interesting? Why can't the film not be re-cut and still need Suzanne's manual operation, why can't the explosives that have been set unexpectedly fail to explode? The quasi-heroes who intended to be history-making were silently disappeared, and the orthodox history continued - maybe such an ending deprived the audience of the right to revel, but I sincerely think that such a story will be better, also more meaningful. Next is Colonel Christoph Waltz. Waltz's acting skills are absolutely nothing to say. Even the weird movements of twisting and twisting on the chair don't feel inconsistent, but the problem is that the ending of this character is too bad. Don't have a brain? To actually completely trust that the enemy will give him all the honorable treatment he wants after using him? Even I knew that it would be easier and less troublesome to kill him than to help him. As a high-ranking officer who relies on his sharp mind and observation skills, would it be unexpected? This kind of plot arrangement is simply to insult people's IQ!
Then there's the question of style. Interspersed with black humor is of course welcome, but the black humor in this film is really incompatible with the overall pseudo-serious style, and it is deliberately abrupt and boring. Since the film is a fan story in a parallel world, why not just use humor and complain about the overall trend? The easiest way to modify it is to change the monotonous subtitle transitions between chapters to narration.
And makeup. Is that the jam under the cut scalp? You can get the effect that a makeup artist from a third-rate horror movie can do, but here it is. [laughs]
It's a scumbag mixed with all kinds of scum. It hurts to watch.
