Humanistic Reflection on the Times that Have Swept By
Directed by Jean-Pierre Melville, Army of Shadows manifests the author’s thoughts toward the resistance movement and the time in which it took place. The style of the film is dark, and the atmosphere it provokes is imposing. It’s quite a realistic reenactment of the rigorous and ruthless struggle of the French underground resistance during WWII. The film presents both the greatness and the lowliness of being a soldier, and reflects on the inhumanity of war.
Andrei Tarkovsky and Eduard Abalov’s work Ivan’s Childhood tells the story of how the cruelty of war destroyed the 12-year-old boy Ivan’s childhood. His mother and sister have been killed earlier on by German soldiers, and so, despite his young age, Ivan is determined to fight on the battlefield… In the film, cruel war stories are interspersed with beautiful dream sequences, causing people to wring their hands even more at the cruelty of war.
Casablanca, a war-themed romantic drama, is the film that audiences are most familiar with. Under gunfire, people are faced with the choice between their feelings for each other, and politics. The film reflects this past era, and the state of life for the people in it.
A Man Escaped is based on a true story. It tells the story of how a French lieutenant successfully escapes from a Nazi prison during the Nazi occupation.
Recalling Important Historical Moments
Yuri Ozerov’s Battle of Moscow is an epic multiple-part widescreen blockbuster that was filmed by the Soviet Union to commemorate the great victory of the people of the Soviet Union in their anti-fascist struggle during WWII. It is divided into two films, Aggression and Typhoon, which each has two parts, making for a total of four. Shooting lasted for two years, and cost about six million rubles. The film’s scenes are a grand spectacle. With about 5,000 soldiers, nearly 10,000 extras, 250 actors, and involving the participation of 202 cameramen, it causes even the biggest Hollywood blockbusters to seem pale in comparison.
The famous Chinese film Children of Troubled Times, with making publicity for the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Movement as its theme, was directed by Xu Xingzhi and written by Tian Han and Xia Yan. The film is most famous as the origin of "The March of the Volunteers", the national anthem of the People’s Republic of China. With bold and unrestrained revolutionary enthusiasm, the passionate melody sang out the voice of the time, and its influence has extended far more than the film itself.
Storm over the Yangtze River is an adaption of Zou Lang’s original spy novel Died Bridge. It tells the true story of undercover intelligence agent “Yangtze Number One” and his colleagues in Jianli County in Hubei Province, who risk their lives to carry out the “Died Bridge Plan” to secure the “Yangtze 180 li blockade line”.
Reflections on the Inhumanity of War
On the smoke-filled battlefields in WWII, a soldier would often remember love songs, and sing them out in chorus with the gunfire. Lili Marleen, filmed by the great German director Rainer Werner Fassbinder, gives the singers of these songs a fate that is filled with even more twists and turns. The film portrays the extraordinary fate of originally ordinary people in those extraordinary times.
The Tin Drum was renowned German director Volker Schlöndorff’s masterpiece, and is one of the most famous anti-Nazi films in film history. The film is an adaptation of the novel of the same name published in 1959 by Günter Grass, who won the Nobel Prize in Literature. Through the rough encounters and unique perspective of the life of a malformed midget, it portrays the entire history of the German nation and the odiousness of the Nazis.
In the form of a documentary, Night Will Fall reveals the extremely tragic story of what took place in the Nazi concentration camps during WWII. All of the film footage is actual footage from the camps, and combined with narration, it portrays the persecution of the Jews by the Nazis, as well as all the efforts made by the Allied filmmakers at that time.
