tiger's mouth, not tiger's mouth

Unlike previous war-themed movies, this is a solid comedy. There's no full death like in Saving Private Ryan, nor the bloody scenes in Hacksaw Ridge. It is undoubtedly a movie suitable for the whole family to watch. Like many comedies, there are clear social and cultural differences between the characters. It can also generate enough laughs. But behind the laughter, it still contains bitter tears. The bearded captain fell into the zoo, and the keeper took the parachute and said that it could be used as a quilt; the plasterer himself was a low-level person in society. At the same time, in the process of people fleeing, one can still glimpse a kind of status quo of French society at that time. It is worth mentioning that, except for the cross-eyed shooter, there is no deliberate ugliness in the portrayal of the characters of the German army. This is why "Raise Your Hands" is still criticized even though it is called the Chinese version of "Escape from Tiger's Mouth".
