Top Ten World War II Classic Movies -U-57 1
Reason for listing: classic and unique naval battle. During World War II, Germany's traditional maritime forces were not dominant, so Germany launched a large number of submarine wars and used this ghost tactic, which caused heavy losses to the Allies. Therefore, it is extremely important to master the movements of German submarines. "U57 1" is the code name of Nazi submarine. Originally, it was just one of the many submarines in Germany. However, through a careful planning, the nine-member allied team risked their lives to board the U57 1 submarine and began a thrilling underwater journey.
Top Ten World War II Classic Movies-Thin Red Lines
Reason for listing: World War II epitaph: There is only a "thin red line" between reason and madness. Like U57 1, Thin Red Line was recognized as a classic film as soon as it came out. The thin red line describes the battle between the United States and Japan on Guadalcanal Island. The whole film revolves around the protagonist alone. Sergeant Welsh's company was responsible for seizing position 2 10 from the Japanese. After months of exhausting killing and bloodshed, his company finally captured the position 2 10, but this victory was only a small step in the war. The endless war will continue, and Wales will die in the subsequent battles.
Thin Red Line is definitely a movie worth seeing in the cinema. Many people marvel that the original war film can be made so beautifully. There are many freehand scenes in the film, showing the blue sky, clear water, green grass and hungry young life in the Pacific islands. But this beautiful nature is all shrouded in the gunfire of war, and human life is extremely fragile in the war made by itself. The film beat Spielberg's Saving Private Ryan by 1999 and won the Oscar for Best Picture. Although many people question whether The Thin Red Line has surpassed Saving Private Ryan, its classic status has long been recognized.
Top Ten World War II Classic Movies-tank battle
Reason for listing: giant tanks in the World War II movie library
This film is recognized as the most classic film describing tank warfare, adapted from1Ardennes counterattack that began in the autumn of 944. Although the film has a lot of fictional plots, it still respects historical facts in grand strategy. The German "Tiger Wang Hu II" heavy tank was the most powerful tank in World War II. Until the end of World War II, the Allies could not find an effective response. The movie "tank battle" tells the story that the Allies are passive in tank battle and losing ground in tank battle. However, German tanks consume a lot of fuel, and the German front is too long, so it is difficult to supply them because of the high pressure. Although the allied generals had no choice in the tank battle, they found the strategic weakness of the German army, lured the enemy deeper, cut off the enemy's supply line, and finally won.
Ken annakin, the director of this film, has a very good grasp of the narrative rhythm, and with the dedicated performances of veteran actors Robert Ryan and Charles Bronson, this film has become a classic for entertainment and reappearance of war.
Top Ten World War II Classic Movies-Tunnel Warfare
Reason for being on the list: The tunnel extends to the hearts of China people.
This kind of music is familiar to everyone in China, so you won't forget it as long as you watch this movie. No matter how long time has passed, I will remember this song and countless details in the film. The plot and content of the film need not be introduced too much, because the film even goes deep into the lives of China people. In the era when the whole people are preparing for war, this film has even become a textbook for families to dig their own tunnels. From 1966 to 1970, tunnel warfare became one of the only three films released in China.
However, too many screenings did not affect his appreciation, because even today, both adults and children will still enjoy watching this film. Tunnel warfare has also created an artistic peak of China's films. The lens language, scene arrangement and actors' performances used by the older generation of filmmakers are still role models for modern China filmmakers.
Top Ten World War II Classic Movies-General Patton
Reason for listing: After watching this movie, there will be questions: Who is the real general, the actor or Barton? It is as difficult to evaluate this film as Barton himself, because for Barton, a unique person, any evaluation is redundant and powerless. Let's see Barton through the film first and feel the film through Barton.
George scott, the hero's interpretation of the characters inside and outside the play-a textbook-level speech with the opening six minutes, and his performance is simply the possession of Barton, the "violent military god". But he won the Oscar for this film, and he never won the award, and mercilessly denounced the Hollywood feast as "absurd debauchery". From this perspective, george scott is indeed the best person to play Barton. This movie is said to be Nixon's favorite movie-from the late 1960s to the early 1970s, it was a dark age in American history. Political assassinations such as Kennedy and Martin Luther King shook Americans' faith in the American political system. The failure of the Vietnam War made American youth refuse to perform military service and burned their military service certificates in public. In this context, the hidden political motivation is self-evident, that is, digging up this film that promotes cowboy spirit. Nevertheless, the excellent quality of this excellent historical blockbuster is undeniable, and no matter how much background there is behind the big screen, the main creation of this biographical film cannot be denied.
《! Tiger! Tiger! Tiger
Reason for listing: the only World War II movie that the United States and Japan compromised each other, Tiger! Tiger! Tiger! The film, also known as "Attack on Pearl Harbor", was co-produced by the United States and Japan, which combined the views of Japan and the United States and reproduced the whole story of the Pearl Harbor incident. China audiences will be familiar with this event and this film. It was this incident that completely involved the United States in World War II. American participation in the war accelerated the demise of Japanese militarism and helped the people of China to some extent. However, the participation of the United States in the war also made World War II unprecedentedly tragic, especially the two atomic bombs that directly led to Japan's surrender, which is a permanent scar and warning in the history of human civilization.
Twenty-five years after the end of World War II, the former rivals, the United States and Japan, finally sat down calmly and discussed the causes of this human catastrophe with movies. Japanese director Kinji Fukasaku boldly focused on the aggressor countries. From the beginning of Japanese militaristic plot, he aimed at the target and deployed specific operational plans to deceive the United States diplomatically. Every step until the final success of the sneak attack was presented to the audience in an orderly way, interspersed with various plots in which the United States constantly adopted the carelessness and connivance of the US military, reminding people in peacetime to plan ahead.
Top Ten World War II Classic Movies-The Battle of Moscow
Reason for making the list: Night outside Moscow is the eternal nightmare of German Nazis. A masterpiece in the 1980s, a Soviet film that won the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film in the American Film Academy at the end of the Cold War, has a real and magnificent war scene, which is unparalleled in modern war films. The battle of Moscow lasted more than 300 minutes and was divided into two parts: invasion and typhoon battle. The filming process lasted two years, involving about 5,000 soldiers, nearly 10,000 people, more than 250 actors and 202 photographers. From Germany to the Soviet Union, from high-level decision-making to grass-roots deployment, from the rear to the frontal battlefield, this book comprehensively shows the first victory of the European battlefield in World War II-the battle to defend Moscow, and tells how the myth of German fascism was shattered.
Some people say that the biggest difference between Hollywood movies and European movies and Soviet movies lies in the stimulation of Hollywood focus plane editing, which is seen with eyes; European and Soviet films are relatively slow and used to feeling. Although the battle of Moscow is a grand war movie, it can still make people feel a lot. For example, the most classic line in the film: Russia is big, but we will never retreat, because Moscow is behind us! In just one line, you can feel the incomparable national pride and determination of Soviet soldiers to die. From this sentence, it is not difficult to understand why Nazi Germany suffered its first fiasco here since World War II.
World War II classic film-Saving Private Ryan
Reason for being on the list: Saving Private Ryan may not be the most classic World War II movie, but it is definitely the most realistic movie that reproduces the war scene at present. Few movies are considered as the most classic movies of all time once they are released. Saving Private Ryan is such a movie. In fact, before the release of Saving Private Ryan, many media speculated how classic the film would be. Generally speaking, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. However, such a thing never happened in Saving Private Ryan, and it was quickly recognized as the most realistic movie to reproduce the war scene after its release. This title is not hyped out of thin air by the media, but the evaluation of some veterans who have participated in the Normandy landing.
Of course, this film not only stays on the surface of reality, but also causes people to think about the value of human life in the war. The script of the film comes from a true story: during World War II, a million troops landed in Normandy, and Captain Miller led an eight-member team to go deep behind enemy lines to find James Ryan, an airborne soldier. Because he was the youngest of the four brothers in the family, all three of his brothers were killed one after another. General Marshall brought the soldier back to his hometown as soon as possible, lest the hero mother be hit again. In fact, this is almost an order to exchange 8 lives for 1 life, because finding an ordinary soldier in a vast battlefield is like looking for a needle in a haystack, and the soldiers who carry out this order are also very dissatisfied, but they still abide by the soldiers' guidelines and obey the orders. There is not much entanglement in the film about the problem of eight changes into one, but this question mark about the value of human life has been deeply rooted in people's hearts.
Top Ten World War II Classic Movies-The dawn here is quiet
Reason for listing: There is always a force that makes us burst into tears, before the quiet dawn.
This is another film that China audiences are very familiar with. But when China people knew her, she didn't have the aura of a classic movie, but was labeled as promoting the wheel of war terror. China people went to the cinema to criticize her, but when people walked out of the cinema, they were deeply moved by her. This film is the representative of Soviet film art, as graceful as prose poetry, but gripping; The rhythm is not too slow, but it makes the audience breathless than the fast-paced editing. Let the audience spend three hours unconsciously, and by the end of the film, the audience has been deeply integrated into the world in the film.
This film is recognized as a classic film reflecting the cruelty of war, but throughout the film, almost no bullets entered the human body and no limbs were broken, but it vividly portrayed the cruelty of war. This film is in sharp contrast with those films that rely on a lot of bloody scenes to get people's sensory stimulation. From this point of view, it is better than Spielberg's Saving Private Ryan.
Top Ten World War II Classic Movies-Schindler's List Reason: Jewish proverb: Saving one life is equivalent to saving all mankind. Science fiction and World War II are Spielberg's two major complexes, and most of his films are related to these two themes. Schindler's List is Spielberg's masterpiece of World War II. Schindler's List is also adapted from real events. The film tells the story that Schindler, a German speculator, witnessed the cruel persecution of Jews by the Nazis, from a kind-hearted exploiting capitalist to a warrior who tried to protect as many Jews as possible at all costs. At the end of World War II, Schindler had exhausted all his wealth in order to save Jews, but when the Jews he rescued said goodbye, he burst into tears and deeply blamed himself for not helping more Jews.
Schindler's List won six awards at the 66th Academy Awards, including best film, best director, best adapted screenplay and best cinematography. However, it can even be said that in the face of Schindler's List, Oscar is not enough, because people can't even give him an accurate positioning. Said that he is a commercial film, he is too holy to find a trace of the copper smell of commercial films; Said he was an art film, he didn't have the charming affectation of narcissism in art films. However, this film has achieved great success in business and art. In fact, we don't need to position this film any more, because it should be a milestone in the history of film for all filmmakers to enjoy and learn.
