we all lost

As someone said, the eternal theme of war movies - anti-war!

The movie ends, when the always arrogant warden says, it looks like you've won this contest. The colonel said calmly: No, we all lost! When war destroys everything, destroys people's hearts and consciences, and brings painful memories! Who among these people dares to say that he has won! He just won the war, what did he lose? What is lost is the irretrievable life, and the life that is buried with it. The colonel used his own death in exchange for everyone's life! Although he is still alive, he left these soldiers standing on the cold snow, and salute can only express their only mourning!

    When the film was first released ten years ago, I had a deep memory of the moment when Old Willie died. Ten years later, I finally got to watch it, but I was very disappointed. It seems that I don't love all of Farrell's films, a man with a beauties, alas.

    Although I know that in reality, the brilliance of human nature will not be so bright, but I will still be moved. Full marks to the screenwriter, such a complex and beautiful story is rare, although the shooting techniques are very general. The Nazi officer played very well, the other roles were flat, but the black Scott was better. A little more polishing, and then re-layout, the reversal will be smoother, and the credibility will be higher, this will be an epic!

Hart's War quotes

  • Col. Werner Visser: You know sometimes I think your Lieutenant Scott might have been better off in Alabama. Lynchings are over

    [snaps fingers]

    Col. Werner Visser: in minutes. The kind of justice he's suffering here is far crueler.

  • Lt. Lincoln A. Scott: You know how hard they tried to wash us out in flight school? the colored flyers, it was test after test, anything they can come up to turn us into the cooks, the drivers, the shit shovelers, but I refused to wash out, so did Archer, come hell or high water, we hit the books, we were determined not to spend the war being some niggers, with all due respect, sir I'd like to exercise my right to address this court, I've been sitting down ever since I got here and I should've said something when you quartered us with the enlisted men instead of quartering us properly as officers, but it's ok, because colored men expect to jump through a few hoops in this man's army, Archer knew that, we all did. there's camp right outside Bacon, where I'm from and that's where the army sends the German POW's, picking cotton, what's strange every once and a while, we'd see them around town going to the movies, eating at diners, but if I wanted to go see the same movie I'd half to sit way up in the balcony, those diners were closed to me, even in uniform this must've happened to half the guys at Tuskegee and the German POW's were allowed to sit there and eat but we kept telling ourselves because no matter what, as long as we did our job, it would all be worth it because the war would end, we could home and be free to walk down any street in America with our heads held high as men, so that's what we did, we did our jobs, we served our country, Archer and I, and what you let happened to him, what you "allowed" to happen to him is appalling, and so is this.
