WW2 Kino

Important to say that I'm not tryna be contrarian, but I hated The Thin Red Line. It meandered, and the main characters were idiots.

ITT: terrible taste

Man you fucked your own thread by putting the word kino with that picture.

Which cut? I'm leaning toward director's.

>>85774432
Fury was pretty stellar in all aspects except for the unbelievable, cliche'd 'one against a million' ending. Everything before that was pretty excellent, especially the acting. 'Bible' was great.

>>85774779

Watch Dunkirk in Imax before you miss out. Seeing it in the theater was amazing.

If you liked that and want something similar, Battle of Britain and Tora Tora Tora are both epics that focus more on the historical event more so than fictionalized characters in that event. Another good one from that time period, but with more character focus, is Bridge on the River Kwai.

Come and See and Cross of Iron are two must watch ones. City of Life and Death is great also, best way to describe it is Schindlers List, but about the Rape of Nanking.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6HCTIUx1Arc

And my favorite understated ones, Conspiracy, which was an HBO movie from 2000 that is simply the Wannsee Confrence is really good. And Band of Brothers is a must watch as well.

The Thin Red Line isnt a war movie tho. Its a visual and oral meditation on the similarities between individuals thrown into a world they dont understand by forces beyond their control and the beauty/tragedy in that struggle, which just happens to be set in a war zone. Its my favorite movie of all time but i understand why some may find it a bit dull on repeat viewings.

>>85774432
Fury is better than Saving Private Ryan.

>>85776029
The scene with the girls was fucking unnecessary and ruined the pacing.

>>85776482
That part was done well I agree. It wasn't filmed badly, or written badly, or anything like that. Just, overall, when I want to watch a war movie, this comes off as a pretty... I guess... "bad" war movie.

Kind of like how some novels are masterpieces of literature, and you can respect that, but you're not an English professor trying to dissect it. You just want a fucking good story to read.

>>85774432
The reconstructed long version of 'The Thin Red Line' is far superior to the short version. Are you sure you saw the same version twice?

>>85774936
I have three versions of 'Das Boot' and 'The Boat'. Which should I watch first? The longest and work my way down or vice-versa?

>>85776622
I actually thought that was one of the best scenes. If you ever watch the film again, try and place yourself in the shoes of both the women and the soldiers.

From the boy's perspective: being so young and getting laid for the first time, then having your "love" lost in an instant and straight back into the war.

From the girl's: scared shitless these men are going to rape, rob or kill you - maybe all three - with dead Nazis outside your doorstep and here you are, a German woman trying to accommodate a bunch of fucking savage American soldiers. Of only two are acting sane and civilized; one of them just happens to be in the next room fucking your daughter.

If you don't like it, that's fine, but that's how I saw it the first time I watched it and it made a lot of sense to me why they included that scene. Maybe it just goes over some people's heads, or they feel it to be forced, I don't know.

> In the "Reconstruction" documentary, Robert Carradine says that when he, Mark Hamill, Bobby Di Cicco and Kelly Ward first met Lee Marvin, Marvin didn't say anything at first. After they got into a taxi to drive out to the shooting range where they would hone their skills, Marvin finally said, "Which one of you is Carradine?" Robert Carradine answered, "I am." Marvin's response: "Fuck you, Carradine." A short time later, after they'd been working together, Carradine asked Marvin why he said that to him. Marvin replied, "Because yours was the only name I recognized."

>>85776909
Watch the longest and don't bother with the others.

>>85775818
The short version of 'Das Boot' and 'The Boat' are the same visually. The English script for dubbing 'Das Boot' was written by a German, and read by English-speaking German actors. Variety of very convincing German accents if you like that sort of thing in your WWII movies. The English script for 'The Boat' was written by an American and is different from 'das Boot'. Read by American actors, in a variety of different American accents, if you like that sort of thing in your WWII movies.

>>85776792
I get what your saying anon and agree that The Thin Red Line can border on being full on conceptual art at times. I just saw Dunkirk this weekend and it reminded me a lot of TTRL but more to the point and traditional in its story telling. Christopher Nolan has sited Malick as a big influence with his film making and it really shows especially when i try and think of what moments really stood out for me in Dunkirk which werent the big action set pieces but the small moments like the expression on someones face during a certain scene or the use of silence when trying to underline an important moment.

The same actors who actually played the characters. They all spoke english.

>>85777237
They still dubbed it in though. They did not shoot the scenes twice. And the dialogue is different than the longest version.

>>85775612

Seconding this. Letters from Iwo Jima is much better than Flags, but both should be watched regardless

Battle of Britain, A Bridge Too Far, The Big Red One, Patton, Sink the Bismarck, The Enemy Down Below, many others..

>>85776311

The fucking Wannesee Conference. Yeah dude!

>>85777326
AFAIK they filmed the scenes basically "mouthing" German. Then they recorded the German voices and pasted it on top, as it was too loud or the acoustics were too shitty, something like that, to record the audio on set.

So that's a definite "no."

I can't believe I forgot Stalingrad. That's the best of the bunch. I'm an asshole.

>>85775876
Not really. I appreciate The Thin Red Line, but I found the narration so unnecessary. It was powerful enough through the imagery.

>>85777839

you can see his reflection..... wow

>>85777956
Because they saw the swastika and couldn't think of any reason why any film set in WW2 would ever, ever have a swastika on the poster unless it was pro-Nazi.

Which is funny because Sophie Scholl (and her brother and others) was executed for being part of a German resistance organization that published pamphlets criticizing the Nazi government and encouraging the German people to rise against it.

>>85778039

It's wasn't "powerful enough through the imagery" because the fucking imagery was retarded poetry you'd never hear from even one front line infranty grunt. It's wasn't pretty, or meaningful enough to matter in the context it was delivered. It was Terrence Malick being a poncy twat knowing you people were too uneducated to catch his neediness and vanity.

>>85777777
wasted get

>>85778618
You seem to think I'm a fan of Malick's. I'm not. I still think the movie's imagery could have portrayed the cruelty of war just fine on its own. You're just being a dick for the sake of being a dick.

Also, Hacksaw ridge was bad. I sincerely can't fathom why people love that movie so much. It was cheesy, shallow and poorly directed and botched all the scenes that should have had an emotional resonance with the viewer. My eyes rolled out of my head by the third time we saw a character running at the camera hip firing then cutting to the 5 japanese soldiers he just shot. I'm serious, even the action scenes were poorly directed, nothing new was brought to the table.

Fury on the other hand got a lot of things right, but it fell victim to some poor character development and personally I thought the climax was lame and unrealistic which clashed with the hyper realism of the action in previous scenes.

The thin red line is a bit flaky, definitely, but man it's a cinematic marvel with an amazing score to boot. The build up to the action is fantastic and even though most of the characters were thin somehow they still carried the emotional high points as though we've been with them for a while.

Das Boot is great, I'd watch the directors, it's long and I loved it.
