Followed by Stalingrad, which was shot by Germany for more than 8 years (note that it was not the one shot by the Soviet Union! This part describes the battle from the soldier's point of view. )
Then there is Enemy at the Gates, and the confrontation between snipers is also quite exciting.

This paper describes the single-player contest between two snipers under the background of the Soviet-German war. Despite the strong atmosphere of rivers and lakes, the director Jean-Jacques Arnold did not simply turn the film into a Huashan sword that two masters did not know about. On the contrary, the street fighting scenes of group confrontation were arranged in a timely and appropriate manner, which not only set off the unique skills of the two masters well, but also produced a sense of loneliness among the crowd-a feeling of being isolated and helpless. It is worth mentioning that the big sale of this film 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 Mr. talented mr. ripley and began to steadily undertake The First Hero. Without this Enemy at the Gates, I really don't know who Sister Nicole and Big Mouth Zhu will play with in Cold Mountain Stealing Heart.
Vasily Zesov is a shepherd in the Urals. After years of grazing, Vasily's good marksmanship has been improved. After the Battle of Stalingrad started, Vasily was drafted into the army. His unique skill of shooting the enemy with one shot killed more than 40 German soldiers in less than 10 days, and the myth of "Watts magic weapon" spread all over the battlefield at once. However, in the next few days, Soviet snipers were shot again and again, and the other side only used one bullet. The real opponent is coming!
Enemy at the Gates is adapted from a true story. In real life, Vassili killed more than 400 people in World War II and was a famous sniper hero in the former Soviet Union. Compared with Hollywood war movies, this film directed by French director jean jacques annaud is really rare. In the film, the scene of Vassili fighting with German snipers makes the audience suffocate, the scene of recruits crossing the river by boat is exciting, and the shocking scene of Soviet full-scale counterattack makes people enjoy a visual feast.
Enemy at the Gates is also the most expensive work in the history of European movies, reaching 90 million dollars. The injection of German capital also gives the film a special significance to reflect on German history.
Pearl Harbor is the beauty of computer special effects. 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 movies.
"Iron Wing Blue Sky" is also good! This is a touching story about a pilot who came to Britain to become a volunteer pilot after the occupation of Czech Republic.
You can also take a look at the demise of the empire, which will change your impression of Hitler.
Both The Pianist and Schindler's List are about the tragic experiences of Jews, but the latter is more classic.

Roman polanski (Roman Polanski, the great rogue) was adapted from the autobiography of Villadeslau Spelman. At the same time, in it, he recalled many experiences of his childhood-as a Polish Jew, life in the German-occupied area was worse than death, and it was a dark life. The gloomy and hopeless atmosphere and deep and sad mood are even more ferocious under Polanski's harsh and decisive lens. Nazi's heinous massacre, hunger, naked escape from 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-looking down at the camera: bodies were everywhere.
Schindler's list of America, the most classic
Director: Steven Allan Spielberg
Starring: liam neeson bin kinski Ralph Fiennes
German speculator Schindler is party member of the Socialist Party. He is a lecherous, enjoys it, and is good at using relationships to get the maximum benefit. Jews are the cheapest labor force in occupied Poland. So Schindler's factory only uses Jews.
However, the Nazi's cruel persecution of Jews made Schindler more and more dissatisfied. 1943, Schindler's last fantasy about the Nazis was shattered by the cruel massacre of Krakow Jews. He knew the Nazi massacre of Jews and the horror of Auschwitz concentration camp. Since then, Schindler has only one idea, to protect Jews from Auschwitz's death as much as possible.
Soon, the war was over. On a snowy night, Schindler bid farewell to the workers, and 1000 Jews were rescued to see him off. Some people also knocked out gold teeth, made gold rings and presented them to Schindler. The ring is engraved with a famous Jewish proverb: saving one life is equivalent to saving all mankind. Schindler was in tears, and he felt pain for not saving more Jews. In the snow, the Jews watched Schindler leave the city. His righteous behavior will always be remembered by Jews.
Schindler's List shocked the whole world. This film, which deeply exposed the terrorist crime of the German Nazi massacre of Jews, premiered in Frankfurt, Germany on March 1994, 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 is coming to an end, and Germany, which is facing the east-west attack, is 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.
At the same time, a small group of Yugoslav guerrillas were ordered to blow up this high and dangerous bridge, and the task was extremely arduous. If we can blow up the bridge, we can block the German retreat, which is more conducive to 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 soul-stirring struggles, the engineer finally blew up the bridge he designed and built.
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 overhead, and the bridge was shattered at the foot, and a song "Ah! Seeing friends again 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, and it 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. The beautiful widow attracted all the men and made all the 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 are no thrilling war scenes in the film, but the scars left by the war on women will never heal.
"The dawn here is quiet." The former Soviet Union was the saddest.
Director: Rostosky.
Starring: Andrei Martynov, Irina Shevchuk
There are no grand war scenes in the film, only local battles. Several female soldiers, led by warrant officers, fought against the Germans. At the end of the film, the warrant officer hangs in front of the female soldier's grave, and the audience can't help but express their indignation at the crime of German fascism and shed tears for the sacrificed female soldier.
This war film produced by 1972 has won many awards such as the Venice International Film Festival Memorial Award, the All-Soviet Film Festival Award, and the 1975 Lenin Award. In China, The Silent Dawn here also enjoys a high reputation. 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 and left a deep impression on the audience.
War should often make women forget it, but in the Soviet Union's patriotic war, women boldly went into the war. In the film, the dream love life once owned by female soldiers 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 representative works of World War II were ridiculed by comedies, and the image of World War II was a French romantic humor film. Although the courage to joke about the disgraceful history under occupation is somewhat heartless, the people of France and even the whole world have completely silenced 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 anti-aircraft weapons, and several crew members were forced to skydive to escape, and they made an appointment to meet in Hamam. But they landed in different parts of the French capital, Paris, which was occupied by the Germans.
The Germans launched a city-wide search, and three pilots were rescued by painters, animal keepers and band command posts. Forced by the situation, painters and commanders had to replace their rescued pilots to go to the bathroom to meet bearded squadron leader. After several misunderstandings, they finally joined hands.
Under the cover of enthusiastic French, the pilots and Germans launched a series of thrilling, nervous and humorous life-and-death games. Finally, the painter, conductor and pilot 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, a performance star, choreographed with the genius of Gerard Ollie, making this film a world-recognized comedy classic.

In the past 50 years, Hollywood has made too many movies about World War II, and there are at least dozens of classics worth seeing. This paper mainly focuses on the orthodox war movies that describe the war scenes, and the slightly marginalized World War II movies, such as Schindler's List and Madame Miniver, have to be abandoned.

1。 The Devil on the Western Front was made in 1949, which describes the encounter between German and American troops in Bastogne, Belgium at the end of World War II. The biggest feature of this film is that it uses a group of ordinary actors, and the whole film is shot in the western plateau of Europe. The natural beauty covered with snow and the cold climate enhance the tension of the film through excellent photography.
2。 The Fox in the Desert was made in 195 1. It tells the story of German general Rommel's "Fox in the Desert". The film dared to portray the German commander-in-chief as a hero, which caused controversy among American veterans.
3。 1957' s Guihe Bridge won seven awards, including best film, director and actor.
4。 The longest day produced by 1962 is the largest war film in American film history, with plain techniques and realistic scenes. The cast is unprecedented, including john wayne, henry fonda and sean connery.
The longest day in America is the truest.
Starring: eddie albert paul anka
This film describes what Eisenhower called "the longest day in history" in Normandy. This is also the biggest war film produced in American film history. This paper describes the ins and outs of the historical battle of Normandy landing from the perspective of the allied forces and the German army, and the important reactions of both sides during this period. The technique is plain and the scene is realistic, just like recreating the whole event in front of the audience. Moreover, both the decision-making generals and the landing soldiers are lifelike, and the results are quite rare.
The cast of this film is unprecedented. Singer paul anka also played a touching role and wrote a magnificent theme song for the film. "The Longest Day" is regarded by fans as the finale of World War II movies.
5。 Tank Armageddon was made in 1965. The smooth narrative skills and the participation of actors such as henry fonda kept the film quite entertaining.
6。 The Battle of Great Britain was made in 1969 and filmed by British elites. The air raid scene of fighter planes covering the sky is spectacular and realistic, and the effect is shocking.
7。 General Patton was produced in 1970 and won seven awards, including the Oscar for best film.

Biography of movie master. George Scott, the leading actor, used the opening six minutes to interpret the characters inside and outside the play-textbook-level speech, and his performance was simply the possession of Barton, a violent military god. However, he won the Oscar for this film, but he didn't receive the award at all, and persistently denounced the Hollywood feast as just "absurd debauchery". 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 the accurate positioning of "a tragic hero who is out of tune with the times" is the key to the success of this movie.
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 Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor in a similar case review way, and won the best special effects Oscar.

To commemorate the 25th anniversary of the victory of the anti-fascist war, a commercial blockbuster jointly produced by the United States and Japan put "9. 1 1" which attacked Pearl Harbor in the 1940s on the screen. The director of this film is Kinji Fukasaku, a master of Japanese film industry. Mr. Shenzuo boldly locked his perspective on the aggressor country. From the time when Japanese militarism was eyeing up a conspiracy, it locked in the target, deployed specific operational plans, 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 carelessness and connivance of the US military were constantly compared, which fully warned the necessity of people's prevention at ordinary times.

With such a luxurious box office appeal, the global popularity is expected. Although the film itself is of average quality and is only a regular part of many Hollywood commercial war films, it seems that the naval battle scene is quite infectious now. In that 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 was produced on 1998. Director Spielberg has a soft spot for World War II. He has made a list of 194 1, empire of the sun and Schindler before. This film is regarded as one of the most authentic war movies in history, and many veterans of World War II have highly praised 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 Allan Spielberg, the director of Schindler's List, whose representative works include Roaming in Space 200 1 and Eyes Wide shut, and artificial intelligence was shot by Spielberg to commemorate his creativity) once ridiculed that this film was 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 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 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, on the violin.

Although he lost to Shakespeare's love story in the best film unit (the focus of the Oscar judges' alleged fraud and the peak of Milla Max's unscrupulous propaganda offensive), Lao Si succeeded in winning the best director award twice. The film stood on the shoulders of its predecessors and worked all day. Although it is acknowledged that man is the culmination of Hollywood's traditional description of the Normandy landing, it skillfully draws lessons from it. Against the background of Operation Overlord, this paper discusses the value of life through the puzzling military order of saving Ryan, which is so touching that the opening landing scene, in particular, is the crowning touch of war movies at the end of the 20th century.

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. The most touching lines in the history of war also came from this movie-Klochkov Dief, political instructor of the Soviet company, led 28 soldiers to fight with dozens of German tanks for four hours, shouting: "Although Russia is big, we are no way back, and Moscow is behind us!"
