The film title A bridge too far hints at the Allied rethinking after the war. It was planned to occupy the Rhine before Christmas in 1944 and advance into Berlin. However, the fact is that the Rhine is still an impenetrable barrier until March of the following year. The British army fought hard for the Arnhem Bridge, but suffered heavy losses here, and finally had to retreat.
In August 1944, Montgomery proposed the market garden operation, which used the rear of the German army as its own garden. The name indicated the ending.
The contempt for the Dutch underground intelligence and the desire to win the war quickly made the Allied forces ignore possible obstacles and forge ahead with bravery.
Under objective conditions, the morale of the German troops after Normandy's login was greatly lost, which could have become a favorable condition for the success of the Market Garden operation. However, the German misinformation about who the Allied Field Marshal is, by mistake put the Allied forces at a disadvantage. The Germans obtained the Allied combat plan from the downed fighters, which made Montgomery's 90% chance of success even worse.
Blindly optimistic and brave, the imaginary back garden has become an Allied cemetery.
Speaking of the film itself, an hour ago, a calm and objective oil painting. Expansive, detailed outlines. In the next hour, the director had no patience, the emotions were over-exposed, and the main line was abandoned.
In summary, only the first half of the film is reserved, and the second half can be cut.
