士兵的荣耀

　　欧战尾声，盟军上下逐渐弥漫着乐观的情绪。为了提前结束战争，各地盟军将领认为只要一番猛攻，便可提早直捣柏林结束战争。于是轻率地将大批伞兵空投在德军营地背后，去攻占阿纳姆的那座横跨莱茵河的大桥。不料遭遇德军的顽强抵抗，盟军付出了伤亡惨重的代价。这场堪称二战中最具戏剧性的战役，终以盟军的惨痛失败而告终。

In 1954 Vietnam, at the time of Diên Biên Phu, a French unit on patrol under the command of an inexperienced lieutenant is gradually depleted by Vietminh until only an ex-Wehrmacht Alsatian adjutant remains. He is to die, a title informs us, in Algeria in 1960. Semi-documentary in style, this is an effectively low-key appraisal of the difficult choices with which war confronts its soldiers. As so often in Vietnam films the enemy is only glimpsed from a distance, the camera remaining a disembodied observer among the group. Bertrand Tavernier acted as co-writer on the film.
