The first prison break film in movie history, you can see that the Shawshank Redemption pays tribute to it in many ways.

The film expresses anti-war thoughts, but there are no bloody scenes of soldiers dying, separation of flesh and blood, and horrific corpses scattered everywhere... It's just a...

Filmed on the eve of World War II, the film uses World War I as the background of the story, criticizing the physical and mental harm of war to people.

Nobility, smallpox. Intellectual class tuberculosis. Cancer and gout in the working class, liver and gastrointestinal diseases from eating too much...

Compared to the famous scene, I think Stroheim's appearance is better, and the camera always ends up on the poster. This film is really strange enough, of course it is good and strange, there is no war scene, but it depicts the differences between France and Germany in the war years, with a kind of...

The state is the phantom that hangs over us, it can wage war to destroy us, and it can protect us.

And the war in that shot is not the last war as Marsali said, but just the beginning...

The whole film is somewhat like the situation of senior German and French officers (essentially reflecting the good training of the soldiers of the two countries and the state of elite education at that time),...

There are many masterpieces of Renoir, but this one is my favorite. It's not difficult to photograph everyday life poetically, but it's really not easy to resist a grim war with humor and poetry. Renoir is an amazing director. The film tells the story of a group of returned war criminals who...

I feel that the tone of this film looks very comfortable, not fancy at all, especially calm and soothing. The story is very touching and highly watchable. When I was watching the movie, I was completely immersed in the storyline, and the woman next door even cried. The joys and sorrows in the movie...

Before watching this movie, the first thing to know is that during the First World War, the combatants on both sides still maintained a kind of medieval chivalry, or a kind of aristocratic atmosphere. This is different from all the wars in the world in the future, (imagine the Nazi concentration...
