Secondly, Stalingrad, which was shot by Germany in more than 8 years (note that it was not the one shot by the Soviet Union! This part describes the battle from the perspective of soldiers. )
Then there is Enemy at the Gates, and the confrontation between snipers is also quite exciting.

This paper describes the single contest between two snipers under the background of the Soviet-German war. Despite the strong flavor of rivers and lakes, director Jean-Jacques Arnold didn't simply turn the film into a Huashan sword that two masters didn't know about human fireworks. On the contrary, the street fighting scenes of group confrontation were arranged in a timely and appropriate amount, which not only set off the two masters' tricks well, but also created a sense of loneliness in the crowd-a feeling of seeking defeat in isolation. It is worth mentioning that the film's big sale completely opened up the North American market for Jude Law, a handsome British guy. From then on, he got rid of the supporting role in The Talented Mr. Ripley and began to take on first hero steadily. Without this Enemy at the Gates, I really don't know who Sister Nicole and Big Mouth Zhu will play with in Cold Mountain and Stealing Hearts in the future.
Vassili Zesov is a shepherd in the Urals Mountains. After years of grazing, Vassili's good marksmanship was improved. After the battle for Stalingrad started, Vassili was enlisted in the army. His unique skill of shooting the enemy with one shot killed more than 40 German soldiers in less than 10 days of fighting, and at one time the myth of "the magic weapon of Watts" spread throughout the battlefield. However, in the next few days, Soviet snipers were shot again and again, and the other side also used only one bullet. The real opponent is coming!
Enemy at the Gates is adapted from a true story. In real life, Vasily killed more than 400 enemies in World War II and was a famous sniper hero in the former Soviet Union. Compared with Hollywood war blockbusters, this film directed by French director jean jacques annaud is rare. In the film, the scene of Vasily fighting with German snipers makes the audience suffocate, the scene of recruits crossing the river by boat is exciting, and the shocking scene of the Soviet Union's full-scale counterattack makes people enjoy a visual feast.
"Enemy at the Gates" is also the most expensive work in the history of European film industry, reaching 90 million US dollars. The injection of German funds also gives the film a special meaning of reflecting on German history.
"Pearl Harbor" is that the computer special effects are beautiful. Personally, it is not as good as "Tiger! Tiger! Tiger! "It's true. Tiger! Tiger! Tiger! "Midway Island" and "Okinawa Island" are both classic World War II war films.
"Iron Wing Blue Sky" is also good! It is a touching story about a pilot who came to Britain to be a volunteer pilot after the occupation of Czech Republic.
You can also have a look at The Destruction of the Empire, which will change your impression of Hitler.
The Pianist and Schindler's List are all about the tragic experiences of Jews, but the latter is more classic.
The Pianist
Realistic degree ★★★★★★
Commemorative significance ★★★★★★
Classic index ★★★★★★★
Roman polanski, the great rogue, is adapted from the autobiography of Villadeslau Spelman, and at the same time, in it, he reviews a lot of his childhood experience-as a Polish Jew, life in the German-occupied area is worse than death and a dark life. The gloomy and hopeless atmosphere and deep sad state of mind are even more ferocious under Polanski's harsh and decisive lens. Nazi's heinous slaughter, hungry, naked escape life, but survival instinct and artistic belief still support the hero to bite the bullet. The most shocking scene is neither the piano performance of ideas nor the conscience discovery of German officers. When the hero heard footsteps in the distance, he used his quick wits and threw himself on the ground. A group of German soldiers ran arrogantly and didn't care about him at all-overlooking the camera: corpses were everywhere.
Schindler's List America, the most classic
Director: Steven Spielberg
Starring: liam neeson bin kinski Ralph Fiennes
Schindler, a German speculator, is a member of the Socialist Party of party member. He is a womanizer, enjoys it, and is good at using relationships to get the maximum profit. Jews are the cheapest labor in occupied Poland. Therefore, Schindler's factory only uses Jews.
However, the Nazi's cruel persecution of Jews made Schindler more and more dissatisfied. 1943, the Nazi's brutal bloodbath of the Jews in Krakow shattered Schindler's last illusion about the Nazis. He knew the Nazi massacre of Jews and the horror of Auschwitz concentration camp. Since then, Schindler has only one idea, to protect Jews as much as possible from Auschwitz's death.
Soon, the war was over. One night when it snowed heavily, Schindler bid farewell to the workers, and more than 1000 Jews were rescued to see him off. Some people also knocked off their gold teeth, made a gold ring and presented it to Schindler. The ring was engraved with a famous Jewish saying: Saving one life is equivalent to saving all mankind. Schindler was in tears, and he felt pain for failing to save more Jews. In the snow, the Jews watched Schindler leave the city. His righteous deeds will always be remembered by Jews.
Schindler's List shocked the whole world. This film, which deeply exposed the terrorist crime of German Nazi massacre of Jews, premiered in Frankfurt, Germany on 1 March, 9941,and the German President personally attended the premiere of the film.
Bridge Yugoslavia, the most unforgettable
Starring: Va Zivoyevich Petrovich
1944, the second world war was drawing to a close, and Germany, facing the east-west attack, was on the verge of failure. However, they still refused to give up. In order to save the crisis, the Germans planned to retreat from Greece to their own country via Yugoslavia. In order to retreat smoothly, they tried their best to keep a bridge that they had to pass on the way to retreat.
At the same time, a small group of Yugoslav guerrillas were ordered to blow up the bridge, which was high and dangerous, and the task was extremely arduous. If the bridge can be blown up, it will block the German retreat and be more conducive to the counterattack.
In order to blow up the bridge, the guerrillas found an engineer, but this engineer is the designer of the bridge. After a series of careful arrangements and thrilling struggles, the engineer finally blew up the bridge designed and built by himself.
The film is a classic Yugoslav World War II film, which truly reproduces a fierce bridge battle and a test of courage and belief. Shells passed over the head, and the bridge was shattered at the foot, and a song "Ah! Goodbye to friends is even more unforgettable.
The Beautiful Legend of Sicily Italy is the saddest.
Director: Giuseppe Tonatore
Starring: monica bellucci
194 1 year, the whole world was shrouded in the smoke of World War II, but Sicily is still a peaceful place, which is the hometown of boy Lei Natuo. Like all children aged 13, he is naive, happy, restless and full of illusions about life. Finally, one day he met the woman who changed his life-marlene dietrich. This beautiful widow charms all men and makes all women jealous.
The war continues. The bad news of marlene dietrich's husband came. In order to survive, marlene dietrich began to sell his body.
There is no thrilling war scene in the film, but the scars left by the war on women will never heal.
"The dawn here is quiet" The former Soviet Union is the most sad.
Director: Rostotski.
Starring: Andrei Martynov, Irina Shevchuk
There is no grand war scene in the film, but only a local battle. Several female soldiers are fighting with the Germans under the leadership of the warrant officer. At the end of the film, the warrant officer hangs in front of the graves of female soldiers, and the audience can't help but express their indignation at the crimes committed by German fascists and shed tears for the sacrifice of female soldiers.
This war film, produced in 1972, has won many awards such as the Venice International Film Festival Memorial Award, the All-Soviet Film Festival Award and the 1975 Lenin Prize. In China, Silent Dawn Here also enjoys high popularity. This is not only because there was a scene in the film that was a shocking "naked play" at that time, but also because it vividly showed women's choices in the face of war, which left a deep impression on the audience.
War should often make women go away, but in the great patriotic war of the Soviet Union, women boldly entered the war. In the film, the dreamy love life that female soldiers once had is intertwined with the cruelty of war. When these girls, full of longing for a better life, finally died in battle, the theme of the film accusing fascist atrocities was fully displayed.

The masterpiece of World War II is teased by comedy, and the image of World War II is a French romantic and humorous film. Although the courage to make fun of the disgraceful history under the occupation is somewhat heartless, the people in France and even the whole world have completely shut up the critics and historians. I almost forgot to say that this film is a well-deserved champion in the history of French box office, and it has persisted to this day.
During World War II, the first detachment of the British bombing squadron was carrying out a bombing mission called "Yuanyang Tea". A plane was hit by German air defense weapons, and several crew members were forced to skydive to escape and made an appointment to meet in hamam. But they landed in different places in the French capital, Paris, occupied by the Germans.
The Germans launched a city-wide manhunt, and three of the pilots were rescued by painters, animal keepers and the band command post. Forced by the situation, the painter and the conductor had to replace their rescued pilots to meet the bearded squadron leader in the bathroom. After several misunderstandings, they finally joined hands.
Under the cover of the enthusiastic French, the pilots and the Germans launched a series of thrilling, tense and humorous life and death games. Finally, the painter, the conductor and the pilots flew to neutral Switzerland. This film was shot in the 1960s, which set the highest box office record in French history and became a landmark work in French film history. Louis De Funès, a French comedian, and Bourvil, an acting star, cooperated with Gerard Orly's talented choreography to make the film a world-recognized comedy classic.

In the past 50 years, there have been too many movies with the theme of World War II made in Hollywood, and there are at least dozens of classics worth seeing. This paper mainly focuses on orthodox war movies that describe war scenes, and slightly marginalized World War II movies, such as Schindler List and mrs miniver, have to give up.

1。 "The Devil on the Western Front" 1949 is a story about the encounter between the German army and the American army in Bastogne, Belgium at the end of World War II. The biggest feature of this film is that a group of ordinary actors are used, and the whole film is shot on the western plateau of Europe. The natural beauty covered with snow and the cold climate have strengthened the tension of the film through outstanding photography.
2。 The Desert Fox, produced in 195 1 year, tells the story of Rommel, the German general "the desert fox". This film dares to portray the German commander-in-chief as a hero and has caused controversy among American veterans.
3。 Bridge on the river kwai 1957 was produced, and won seven awards including Best Film, Director and Actor.
4。 The Longest Day 1962, the largest war film in American film history, is plain and realistic. The cast is unprecedented, including john wayne, henry fonda and sean connery.
The longest day in America, the most authentic.
Starring: eddie albert paul anka
This film describes what Eisenhower called "the longest day in history" in Normandy. This is also the largest war film produced in the history of American movies. It describes the ins and outs of the historical battle of Normandy landing from the perspectives of the Allied Forces and the German Army, as well as the important reactions of both sides during this period. The technique is plain and the scene is realistic, just like recreating the whole incident in front of the audience. And there are details in the rough, no matter whether the decision-making generals or landing soldiers are lifelike, the results are quite rare.
The cast of the film is unprecedented, and the singer paul anka also performed a touching role and wrote a magnificent theme song for the film. "The Longest Day" was regarded by fans as the final work of World War II movies.
5。 Tanks Armageddon 1965 was produced, with smooth narrative techniques and the participation of actors such as Henry Fonda, which kept the film quite entertaining.
6。 The Battle of Great Britain 1969 was produced by the British elite. The air raid scene in which fighter planes covered the sky was spectacular and realistic, and the effect was shocking.
7。 General Patton 1970 was produced and won seven awards, including the Oscar for Best Film.

A master of biographical films. George Scott, the leading actor, interprets the role in and out of the play-the textbook-level speech with the opening six minutes, and its performance is simply the possession of Barton, the violent military god. However, he won the Oscar for this film, and he did not accept the award at all, and persistently reprimanded the Hollywood feast as nothing but "absurd debauchery." This film is said to be Nixon's favorite film-from the late 1960s to the early 1970s, it was a dark age in American history. Kennedy, Martin Luther King and other political assassinations shook Americans' faith in the American political system, and the failure of the Vietnam War made American youths refuse to perform military service and burn their military service certificates in public. In this context, it is self-evident that the hidden political motivation is to excavate this film that promotes cowboy spirit. Nevertheless, the excellent quality of this outstanding historical blockbuster cannot be denied, and the accurate positioning of "a tragic hero who is out of tune with the times" is the key to the success of this film.
8。 Attack on Pearl Harbor (Tiger! Tiger! Tiger! ) 1970, this film was co-produced by the United States and Japan, and explained the ins and outs of the success of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor in an approximate case review way, and won the Oscar for Best Special Effects.

To commemorate the 25th anniversary of the victory of the anti-fascist war, a commercial blockbuster jointly produced by the United States and Japan brought the "911"attack on Pearl Harbor in the 1940s to the screen. The director of this film is Kinji Fukasaku, a master figure in Japanese film industry. Mr. Shenzuo boldly locked the perspective on the aggressor country. From the time when Japanese militarism was eyeing up a plot, he locked the target, deployed a specific battle plan, and deceived the United States diplomatically ... until the final sneak attack was successful, every step was presented to the audience in an orderly manner, and in the process, the US military's carelessness and connivance were constantly compared, which fully warned people in peacetime of the necessity of prevention.
9。 Midway Island 1976 was produced. Most of the World War II films are set on the western front. This film is one of the representative works with a rare background on the eastern front. The star lineup is strong and the naval battle scene is real, which makes the film quite interesting.

Star-studded commercial blockbusters, screen tough guys and popular male stars in the 1970s almost got together in this film: Charlton Hesden, Henry Fonda, Glen Ford, Robert Metchum, Cliff Robson, James coburn, Tom selleck, toshiro mifune ... It tells the turning point of the Pacific War-1June 942. With such a luxurious box office appeal, the worldwide popularity is expected. Although the film itself is mediocre in quality, it is only a regular part of many Hollywood commercial war films, but now it seems that the naval battle scene is quite infectious. In the era when there were no light magic (Star Wars series special effects company) and Vita (The Lord of the Rings series special effects company), the degree of shock can be imagined.
10。 Saving Private Ryan 1998 was produced. Spielberg, the director, has a soft spot for World War II. He has previously filmed 194 1, empire of the sun, Schindler List and so on. This film is considered to be one of the most realistic war films in history, and many World War II veterans spoke highly of it, calling it "the most authentic film reflecting World War II", especially the spectacular scene of the 26-minute re-enactment of the Normandy landing.

Stanley kubrick (the mentor and friend of Steven Spielberg, director of Schindler's List, whose masterpieces are Roaming in Space 200 1, Eyes Wide shut, and Artificial Intelligence was shot by Spielberg to commemorate his creativity) once ridiculed the film for being completely hypocritical. Nevertheless, the little golden statuette embraced Schindler's List without hesitation, and finally fulfilled Spielberg's dream of being an Oscar-winning director who had returned empty-handed seven times before. Although the commercial atmosphere of Hollywood makes this film not pure in artistic level, as a Jew, the sincere feelings of the director Uncle Si in paying tribute and paying homage are still touching. Especially when those little red shoes appeared on the screen, the audience burst into tears in the endless grief expressed by another Jewish artist, Master Isaac Paalmann, with a violin.

Spielberg teamed up with Tom Hanks to bid for the Olympic Games. Although he lost to Shakespeare's Love Story in the best film unit (the focus of the alleged fraud of the Oscar judges and the peak of Milla Max's unscrupulous propaganda campaign), Lao Si successfully scored twice in the best director award. This film stands on the shoulders of the predecessor's work A Long Day. While acknowledging that Man is the culmination of Hollywood's traditional description of the Normandy landing, it skillfully draws lessons from it. Under the background of overlord action, it explores the value of life by saving Ryan, a puzzling military instruction, so that it is touching and touching, especially the opening landing scene, which can be called the crowning touch of war movies at the end of the 20th century.

The great works of the 1980s, the Soviet film that won the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film at the end of the Cold War, and the real and magnificent war scenes are unparalleled in modern war films. The Battle of Moscow lasted more than 300 minutes, divided into two parts: Aggression and Typhoon Battle. The filming process lasted for 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 of defending Moscow, and tells how the myth of German fascism was shattered. The most touching lines in the history of war also came from this film-the Soviet company's political instructor Klochkov Diyev led 28 soldiers to fight with dozens of German tanks for four hours, shouting: "Russia is big, but we have no way back, and Moscow is behind us!"
