The honor of a warrior

Before watching this movie, I really didn't expect that I would be moved by a war movie, but now I can't stop my tears from running around. Old cloth, my favorite old cloth, you really didn't let me down. As mentioned in a previous film review, at first I thought this movie was just about the tragic fate of prisoners of war, then I thought it was about the deep-rooted racial prejudice, and then I thought it was about loyalty and betrayal, until Hart came forward. When Scott died, I thought it had reached the climax of the film, which was about the growth from a boy to a man. But I found out that I was still wrong, and Colonel McNamara returned. It turns out that the 35 brothers dig tunnels not to escape, but to blow up the enemy's munitions factory. In the sound of explosions, the colonel fell under the guns of the Nazis. At this moment, all the misunderstandings were cleared. All the people understood what true courage and honor are. All the soldiers raised their right hands to pay tribute to the colonel, but I did not cry like a man.

The critics are still so stingy. There are still a lot of "okay" films like this. I don't know what kind of film they want. For me, this is the best movie I have ever seen.

    On the other hand, it shows that the concentration camps in the Nazi period are different from other concentration camps. This film focuses on glory, courage, sacrifice... The colonel did BW kill everything. At the same time, the history of racial discrimination and the dignity of black people is written into it, which is a good World War II movie. There is also a cameo by Sam Worthington, haha

    When I saw it at the time, it was a little shocking.

Hart's War quotes

  • Col. Werner Visser: You know sometimes I think your Lieutenant Scott might have been better off in Alabama. Lynchings are over

    [snaps fingers]

    Col. Werner Visser: in minutes. The kind of justice he's suffering here is far crueler.

  • Lt. Lincoln A. Scott: You know how hard they tried to wash us out in flight school? the colored flyers, it was test after test, anything they can come up to turn us into the cooks, the drivers, the shit shovelers, but I refused to wash out, so did Archer, come hell or high water, we hit the books, we were determined not to spend the war being some niggers, with all due respect, sir I'd like to exercise my right to address this court, I've been sitting down ever since I got here and I should've said something when you quartered us with the enlisted men instead of quartering us properly as officers, but it's ok, because colored men expect to jump through a few hoops in this man's army, Archer knew that, we all did. there's camp right outside Bacon, where I'm from and that's where the army sends the German POW's, picking cotton, what's strange every once and a while, we'd see them around town going to the movies, eating at diners, but if I wanted to go see the same movie I'd half to sit way up in the balcony, those diners were closed to me, even in uniform this must've happened to half the guys at Tuskegee and the German POW's were allowed to sit there and eat but we kept telling ourselves because no matter what, as long as we did our job, it would all be worth it because the war would end, we could home and be free to walk down any street in America with our heads held high as men, so that's what we did, we did our jobs, we served our country, Archer and I, and what you let happened to him, what you "allowed" to happen to him is appalling, and so is this.
