A movie about the First World War based on a stage musical of the same name, portraying the "Game of War" and focusing mainly on the members of one family (last name Smith) who go off to war. Much of the action in the movie revolves around the words of the marching songs of the soldiers, and many scenes portray some of the more famous (and infamous) incidents of the war, including the assassination of Duke Ferdinand, the Christmas meeting between British and German soldiers in no-mans-land, and the wiping out by their own side of a force of Irish soldiers newly arrived at the front, after successfully capturing a ridge that had been contested for some time.
在国外,莫名想看战争片,看到温迪·奥尔纳特,科林·法雷尔,马尔科姆·麦克菲这个阵容本来还是有点小期待。结果,哎...很是失望,奇奇怪怪尴尴尬尬,剧情也一言难尽...虽然现在都在拍主旋律都在拍正剧,但也不能这种充数,演员和剧本还是硬功夫。什么时候我们也能拍出那种能够真正吸引人的剧呢?
