I stayed in Xining for a week, nothing happened at night, and suddenly wanted to watch some movies. The 1st Army said that the movie Red Baron is highly recommended by Yunzhong, so I decided to watch it.
After the movie was finished, when I watched it for the first time, I saw the last battle of the Red Baron saying goodbye to his girlfriend. When I was about to board and take off, I couldn't bear to watch it any longer. I pressed the pause button and chatted with the 1st Army in the group. Yes, calm down and continue watching. The director handled it very nicely, and the most unacceptable scene never appeared. Before you know it, the movie ends.
I watched it a few times later. Yes, I rarely can insist on watching such a long film several times. The other time this year was probably watching Slumdog Millionaire, which is really interesting.
Of course, how much influence the Red Baron has on later generations of aviation fans may be difficult for some people to really understand. However, even if you have no interest in aviation, World War I, or lack of knowledge, you may still like this film, because this film is really beautiful.

The Red Baron quotes

  • Manfred von Richthofen: [briefing the other pilots] Keep the sun on your back. Don't fire too soon. It just warns your opponents, it has no other effects. The best range for shooting is 50 meters, not more. But remember, our tasks is to bring down aeroplanes, not men. So stop firing when your opponent's falling. Gentlemen, we are sportsmen, not butchers.

  • Manfred von Richthofen: Mademoiselle! Have I done something wrong? Am I not worth an answer, or is it just you hate all men?

    Käte: Hate? I don't hate you. Hate is a male domain.

    Manfred von Richthofen: But you are angry, aren't you?

    Käte: [grabbing the scarf] There is another man's blood on it. And you do not seem to care. Men like you scared me because I do not understand why you do what you do. And being scared makes me angry...

    [continues up the stairs]

    Manfred von Richthofen: Wait, WAIT! Imagine you were out there, like a hawk. Looking down... The wind blows around you. The smell of the engine, draft from the propeller. Out there you can just fall, you can climb, turn, spin... Freedom! That's what men always dreamt of. I've dreamt of it since I was a little boy. But the best part, is the chase! The fights... The hunt! It's like a match. A joust, just like sports.

    Käte: Tennis does not kill you. It's childish dreams that got your friends killed. No, I don't hate you, Baron. I pity you.
