A Bridge Too Far1977
Out of the sky comes the screen's most incredible spectacle of men and war!
The story of Operation Market Garden—a failed attempt by the allies in the latter stages of WWII to end the war quickly by securing three bridges in Holland allowing access over the Rhine into Germany. A combination of poor allied intelligence and the presence of two crack German panzer divisions meant that the final part of this operation (the bridge in Arnhem over the Rhine) was doomed to failure.

One may feel limitations on the dramatic side, but Bridge is an unqualified pictorial achievement.
7/10。重温。太事无巨细了，但许多段落拍得非常美，具有史诗般的气魄：荷兰的田园风光、摇摆的时钟，教堂上方空降的盟军如天女散花般飘落，像郊游般轻快的行军，受到满街的鲜花旗帜和欢迎人群，这与他们尊严丧尽的最终失败形成反衬，结尾处一群盟军伤兵坐在废墟的坟墓之上，唱着圣歌等着德军走来，夕阳下收容盟军的荷兰人一家流离失所，一个孩子模仿军步走在最后面，英国对胜利的渴望以战争带来的伤痛为代价。作为一部由美方控制的英国片，显出冷峻的幽默气质，例如盟军装甲部队遭遇林中的一群精神病嘲笑、英军挥舞着雨伞走上敌占桥、拼死抱回的物资袋装着不需要的红色贝雷帽，当战争的血腥、眼泪被指挥层看成一场冒险游戏，英国人恪守的尊严、规则也无法挽救这一切。
This sprawling epic rewards patience with an emotional pay-off and non-triumphant ending that reminds us all too starkly of the sacrifices made during war.
