War can be fought with etiquette

Saw the German film Red Baron on Saturday. There was something I wanted to say at that time, but it has been delayed until today, and today I have even forgotten everything I wanted to say at that time. This is me, the me who can procrastinate when it comes to words. Not long ago, I thought that commenting after watching a movie was an easy and pleasant task, but it is not the case now. All texts are rejected by me, no exception. I accidentally used the word homework, perhaps subconsciously. Once it's homework, how much fun is left?
I personally still like the film Red Baron. It changed my impression of German films. It turns out that Germans also have such a lyrical and romantic side, making a war film a poetic mess. The scene of a group of handsome guys flying a very windy convertible plane in the blue sky will make you unforgettable for a long time. That picture is so cool, it's so cool that you can't think of it as a battlefield. You just thought the handsome guys were racing, no, they were racing planes
, but war is war. A war movie is a war movie. In order not to deviate from the theme, the director invited the heroine to be responsible for preaching, weakening the poetry and romance that he wanted to emphasize in his bones, and forcibly adding some war-weariness and anti-war to the film. The young and handsome male protagonist forces the female protagonist to become a mother, so it is appropriate to say such deep lines from her mouth, but no matter how you listen to it, it feels a bit artificial and hypocritical, and no matter how you look at it, I think this bitch is too conscious
In fact, what the director wanted to express in this film was the chivalry and gentlemanly demeanor that were still present on the battlefields of World War I and before World War I, so there was a romantic feeling. That's why he struggled to the anti-war theme, and the audience kept tensing up the anti-war strings, but finally was impressed by the actor's line that "war can also be carried out with etiquette". This film allows us to experience a different war, a war with etiquette. After the
first battle, all the battlefields are only killing, and there is no war. The surprise attack has become a skill, and the successful case of the surprise attack can be included in military textbooks. The Red Baron deliberately painted the plane red to make his plane very conspicuous in the blue sky and could not be hidden, because he thought: "I don't need a surprise attack, I just need The enemy is afraid of me", driving his big red plane, with his extraordinary combat skills, he shot down a total of 80 enemy planes, and was the most successful pilot in World War I
The charm of the male protagonist makes the war in the eyes of the audience warm and polite, and effortlessly evokes your nostalgia for chivalry and yearning for gentlemanly demeanor. On such a battlefield is the best birthplace for heroes. It even makes you downplay the cruelty of war, even with the heroine's nagging from time to time. She can't help but nag, how can this film get out of the street without nag? ! ——Today after watching the movie, I even think the director is a little sinister, hehe

The Red Baron quotes

  • Käte: There are so many hospitals now they have to give them numbers. This is No: 76. There's 500 patients. Most of these men will die. Those that don't will never walk again, see again, taste again... love again! No, it's not great to have a hole your head. You're lucky to be still alive. Being born of nobility, you've advantages these men here do not. They don't have choices. It's not a game. This is the lowest we'll ever get. It never gets darker.

  • Emperor Wilhelm: You're looking disposed, my dear Baron.

    Manfred von Richthofen: Yes, your Majesty. I'm fine. I always am. Sometimes even irritated, sir.

    Emperor Wilhelm: How can you be "irritably fine?"

    Manfred von Richthofen: It happens out here. We kill a couple of men. And while they fall down in flames, we feel just fine. I find this irritating.

    Emperor Wilhelm: My soldiers, do not... kill people. They simply destroyed the enemy.

    Manfred von Richthofen: Well, the effects seems to be the same.
