Pure British style

A bridge too far-This movie is too old. I saw the video when I was in college.

Although not as classic as "The Longest Day", there are some scenes that are amazing, the most typical is the brother with an umbrella on the bridge. The British fan is too upright-I feel that the British fan is unique humor + unique gentleman style. Bergard, who plays Browning, is the most typical. No matter he is proud, nervous, or frustrated, he will not lose the forbearing demeanor and courtesy. The British are really interesting. In comparison, the Americans are talking and laughing, and the wolves are suddenly savage and straightforward.

Even James Caan, a typical old American, drove his half-dead brother in the woods with a German tank while driving a jeep. It was nervous, but it was also full of British humor.

Big names gathered. Sean Connery, Gene Hackman, Anthony Hopkins (really young), Robert Redford, James Caan, Dirk Bogarde... Finally, Lawrence Oliver will be invited to play such a humble little role. The old Sir is really good, just a few shots, the portrayal of a compassionate old Bethune is almost perfect.

Nowadays, there are two stars, male and female, in a movie, it's a big deal. The filming cost is half of it.

    "The cast is impressive, but the number is so large that few people can escape the impression of the dragon set; the battle scenes are impressive, dragging too long leads to wandering thoughts; the attention to all aspects of the action is impressive, but it is slow. The rhythm and direction of the narrative. After three hours, the director seems to have made the audience feel the feeling of struggling through the muddy Dutch soil in hunger."...That said, it is still marked with four stars.

    This was definitely a mega blockbuster at the time, with an all-star cast! ps, Montgomery's "Operation Market Garden" made the Allies miserable, the biggest defeat of the Allies after the Normandy landing, and the biggest stain on Meng Shuai's life...
