An epic epic, a great friendship, two true gentlemen. The exquisite flashbacks, running through World War I and World War II, are the legend of the generals and horses' life, and also the flash of the spirit of the times, shining with the brilliance and warmth of infinite humanity. The assessment of the Nazis is very accurate, and at the same time, it reflects the essence of World War II: this is not a gentleman's...

comedy? epic? war? Can't get caught up in any kind of brilliance. Powell is attentive to detail scheduling and carving and Pressberg's script that perfectly combines romance, irony and philosophical thinking. The story spanning 40 years did not catch me for a second. On the one hand, it was the combination of cleanliness, fast rhythm and dense lines that I did not covet in one place; pleasure. Moreover, it is a war movie without frontal war scenes. The root of war and politics is human...

1. A masterpiece! Condensing the 40 years of a general's life, two main lines: the eternal friendship between two British and German officers, and General Candy's lifelong infatuation with a woman (image), plus three major wars. 2. The play is exquisite, with a ring-shaped structure linked end to end, and key time and space are selected to unfold. Although the connected scenes overlap, the perspectives are different. 3. Cross-border friendship, which begins with a fair and ritualized duel and...

It's very beautiful, and the acting and makeup props are very good, but it's a bit difficult to position. The time span is 40 years, and there is such a grand background as World War I and World War II, but it does not feel epic. It's a personal growth story, but the characters haven't changed much. There are reflections from World War II on World War I, and regrets for the death of chivalry, but they are not the point. The length is very long, and I feel that there are too many results I want...

[Film Review] The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp (1943) 8.2/10
This Powell-Pressburger's pièce de résistence, which eulogizes the quintessential “Englishness”, is a lavish moonshot on show, not least for its renowned Technicolor sumptuousness that transmogrifies studio-bound fakery into manufactured imagery of an eyeful. The titular Colonel Blimp, a beloved...
The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp quotes
-
Murdoch: Anything wrong, sir?
Clive Candy: Murdoch, the war is over. The Germans have accepted the terms of the armistice; hostilities cease at 10 O'clock. It's nearly that now. Murdoch, do you know what this means?
Murdoch: I do, sir. Peace. We can go home. Everybody can go home.
Clive Candy: For me, Murdoch, it means more than that; it means that right is might after all. The Germans have shelled hospitals, bombed open towns, sunk neutral ships, used poison gas, and we won -- clean fighting, honest soldiering have won. God bless you, Murdoch.
Murdoch: Sir.

Colonel Goodhead: If we don't know what we are doing, the enemy certainly can't anticipate our future actions.
