Remember the tears in some laughter

This film does not have the fanatical irony rhythm of "The Romance of the Jade Girl", but has a kind of optimistic and cordial atmosphere, and bury the sadness deeply...

Joey

The guy who is always playing the flute, "If you see seven of your companions smearing the entire cabin, you will do the same." His father's letter looked forward to him, "After returning, I will fix the law for the remaining year and become lawyer". This was supposed to be Joey's life, but he might never wake up from the companion who filled the cabin.

Spy Pulis

A German who had lived in Cleveland was handsome and tall, and he was a bit "unexpectedly that your big eyebrows turned out to be a gangster!". A well-trained German spy who speaks fluent English. His daily job is to eat the same soup and rice as the American prisoners of war, scold the Germans, sleep in the dirty bunks, and sneak in with the superiors. Reporting work-some people escaped, some people hid the radio, etc. In the end, he was shot and killed by his own people as an escaped American prisoner of war. I really don't know how his death would be reported to his parents.

Pilfer

The lively little guy in the animal group CP likes to attract attention, so he will show off coquettishly to tease the new actor "Gable Second" when he is immersed in the animal group. His most ironic scene was when he received seven letters, and said that there was no way the girls loved me that much.

But the auto company asked him for the dunning note, and finally notified him to take the car back.

There are several points to be seen from this: 1. The car company is awesome. People can still send the reminders in the German prisoner of war camp. It's too awesome, expecting the prisoners of war to repay the loans? 2. Their letter is received once every six months, during which time I don’t know how much I lost.

Certain blonde

His mother wrote to him saying that there are restrictions on buying things in the U.S. It is better for them to eat and drink. (Unexpectedly, the United States will have a bit of hardship during the war?)

An uncle

The uncle received the letter and his wife told him "you can't believe that! I found a baby in front of the door. I adopted him. He has the same hair and eyes as mine!" The uncle has repeatedly said "I believe that" "Of course, he believed that two years after he became a prisoner of war, his wife could give birth to a baby with no one else, but he still said "I believe" while knitting the baby's socks.

Broken Leg Soldier

He didn't explain where he lost his leg, but he is really a treasure, hiding everything from the Christmas tree to the radio to the bomb under his trousers. Perhaps... the most useful highlight of his life was in the prison camp.

In addition, what I like most is the hands-on ability of these Americans, from using mice as horse races, to using cups as telescopes, to the dance party, decorations, and smoke bombs made of table tennis on Merry Xmas. Very comfortable to watch

    war. humor. Suspenseful. It's amazing how the three come together so ingeniously. You Americans are so crazy. You Billy Wilder are crazy.

    In a black humor film in a prisoner of war camp, Billy Wilder sets the level of suspense too high, unveiling the suspense layer by layer, from the secret code of the inner response, to the identity of the inner response, and finally the death of the inner response, the hero becomes a hero, the end Yes, everyone lay quietly on the bed, which made people memorable.

Stalag 17 quotes

  • Hoffy: Since you want us to speak up, there was a man removed from this barracks last night. A Lieutenant Dunbar. We'd appreciate your looking into it. That's if they haven't shot him yet.

    Geneva man: Why was the man arrested?

    German Lieutenant: Sabotage. He blew up a train.

    Hoffy: They'd have to prove that first, wouldn't they? Isn't that what the Geneva Convention says? You can't just take a man out and shoot him.

  • Geneva man: I want to talk about Lieutenant Dunbar. Is this Lieutenant Dunbar?

    Oberst Von Scherbach: It is.

    Geneva man: What exactly is he charged with?

    Oberst Von Scherbach: Whatever it is, it's out of your jurisdiction. This man is not a prisoner of war. Not anymore. He's a saboteur.

    Geneva man: He's a prisoner of war until you can prove sabotage.

    Lt. James Skylar Dunbar: I didn't do it. I was in the Frankfurt station and the train was three miles away when it blew up.

    Oberst Von Scherbach: Come now, you threw a time bomb.

    Lt. James Skylar Dunbar: How could I have had a time bomb? They searched me when they took me prisoner.

    Geneva man: And the way you search your prisoners, it does sound rather unlikely.

    Oberst Von Scherbach: All I know is he did it. I am satisfied.

    Geneva man: I am not. According to the Geneva Convention, this man...

    Lt. James Skylar Dunbar: Is there anything in the Geneva Convention that'll let a guy sleep?

    [he stumbles over to von Scherbach's couch and falls asleep]

    Oberst Von Scherbach: You were saying?

    Geneva man: Simply this. After the hostilities are ended, there will be such a thing as a War Crimes Commission. If the man should be convicted without proper proof, you will be held responsible, Oberst von Scherbach.

    Oberst Von Scherbach: Interesting.

    Geneva man: Isn't it?

    Oberst Von Scherbach: Very well. If you insist on details, I have ways of finding out about that blasted time bomb. Good day, sir. You will forgive me for receiving you like this.

    Geneva man: Perfectly all right. I do not like boots.
