What is "Rage" about? How to evaluate?

Individual heroism is the best movie theme. However, although everyone works hard in the war, not all departments can produce individual heroism.

Fighter pilots and snipers are the easiest to create lone heroes, but tanks are not so easy. Unless you fly a Tiger. But you lost in the end. No matter what you drive, it won't make a hero movie. I'm so sorry. (But there is still "Tiger in the Mud")

In the winner's camp, neither the Sherman nor the T34, the most conventional tanks, can fight alone. As part of a group army, it's difficult to make a movie. Unless you make a film like "Fury" and design an impossible situation, heroism can only come out.

Although Germany defined tanks and the United States defined movies, it was the online game "World of Tanks" that ultimately defined tank movies.

As soon as the movie was released, the sponsor "World of Tanks" launched a "Furious" Sherman. It’s just an ordinary M4A2 gun barrel with the word “FURY” painted on it. The regular Sherman is free, the Fury costs $30.

After learning that "World of Tanks" was a sponsor, all my doubts about the movie were cleared up. The rating for it rose from 3 to 5.

This is not an armored warfare movie at all! It’s a tank movie!

The most orthodox and pure tank movie, as pure as "World of Tanks".

To give just one example, the main tanks in this movie are all real. The Tiger used was captured by the British that year, and the Sherman used was driven from the museum. However, the anti-tank gun was just dragged around and was not used at all.

This story is set in April 1945 - this sentence explains everything clearly. As long as you don't do stupid things, American tanks will not be in the tragic situation of being outnumbered by many in Germany. This is different from "Saving Private Ryan," which was set in the summer of 1944.

At this time, the Allied forces had crossed the Rhine River, and the Soviet army was preparing for the Battle of Berlin in the east. Hitler had moved into the bunker, was furious at Stein for not being able to raise troops (the Führer's rage), and would commit suicide at the end of the month. Psychologically, the US military wanted to invade Berlin before the Soviet Union, but they vaguely knew that they would not be able to catch up.

The Second Armored Division to which the protagonists belong belongs to the 12th Army. It is the vanguard among the vanguards, so there are many in-depth descriptions of lonely troops. They were now in Hannover (Captain Peter's drunken joke), heading towards the Elbe. The big task is to join forces with the Soviet Union and cut off the German army.

The small tasks are to clean the battlefield, eliminate the remaining soldiers, and consolidate the position.

As a commander, of course, there is a bigger task. They fought from Africa to Italy, Normandy, and finally to Germany. At this time, in fact, the only task is to keep the men safe. Take it home.

——When Captain Pete first stated this goal, he was very convincing. For this reason, he can be forgiven for forcing a small machine gunner to kill prisoners of war. The audience also hopes that he will train himself quickly and not affect everyone's return home alive. In the end, the commander went back on his word, and with this ending, I really wanted to flip the table.

At the beginning of the movie, Pete kills a Nazi and lets a horse go. From then on, horses, women and humanity have become inseparable symbols in movies. Then gather the members and the tank is on the road. The first half of the movie is very reliable and exciting. A tank was bombed as soon as it came out. This was the only effective attack launched by German infantry against a tank, and it was also a rational choice for any guerrilla in this situation.

It's a pity that this is the only time in the movie that the Germans show their IQ.

The remaining four tanks accounted for three Sherman models, and one was equipped with an M3 short barrel that was probably no longer used at the time. This is obviously a case of killing without mercy. Each vehicle in the team has a different model, which is too inconvenient.

At the beginning of the first mission, these vehicles rush on the battlefield to collect skirmishers, which is very realistic and fun. This is the only time tank support operations are shown, and it is also the most realistic scene.

At this time, I was still thinking, if there is such a big scene in the first half hour, how will the finale be filmed? Will I see the movie today that changes my outlook on life? ——The result, haha.

Then enter the town, trigger the plot, and the team's moral value will be reduced by 3.

Get on the road again, continue to push forward, and encounter a Tiger!

A miracle occurred in the history of film, where one tiger defeated four enemies.

The miraculous thing is that all five cars are real, and that one may be the only real tiger in the world that can still move.

The specific battle process is as follows: dong dong dong, tug tug tug, English communication, German communication, tug tug tug, tug tug tug...

This is more like an online game, both sides are fighting. It was a bare tank. In order to make the picture look good, they rushed out of the bunker regardless of the situation and faced off on the plain. The US military's design idea is that 8-10 Shermans can fight against one Tiger. Three Shermans lined up in a row, charging straight forward for no better reason than to serve the audience.

The Tiger is invulnerable from the front, and the three A1 and A4 vehicles without the halo of the protagonist can be killed instantly. The protagonist Che transformed into a superman. He circled behind the Tiger at a very close distance and fired two shots to kill the Tiger.

As a human being, you have to know what is good and what is good. This tank battle is designed to be very cartoony and is meant to be enjoyable for you to watch. There is no point in finding fault with it.

The only tank continued to complete its mission and clear a path for the follow-up troops.

I haven’t mentioned yet that there are no signalmen on this vehicle. I don't know if that's why I couldn't call for support.

The tank stepped on a mine and the track was damaged - there was no mechanic in this movie, so the loader could repair any minor problems. It is truly a tank full of lone heroism.

Now that the track is broken, they have to repair it themselves. I believe the audience also wanted to see how the five of them planned to repair the track with bare hands. Unfortunately, there was no such opportunity. More than 300 Hitler Youth members came from a distance.

The god-like finale began. Out of hatred for the Nazis, the tank commander refused to hide in the jungle and decided to use a tank to fight 300 infantrymen.

Of course, they are not facing ordinary 300 infantrymen. They are those who lack combat experience, do not know how to throw bombs under tanks, and like to walk around in the narrow viewing angle of tanks. A reasonable kind of infantry.

Those young soldiers made sure to take a look inside when they opened the lid of the tank, and then they were shot in the head. No one followed SOP and threw a grenade or something (except at the end). And they are all heroes who do not crawl in the face of machine guns.

It is not a myth that a Tiger holds a position, but it is only under forced circumstances, and there must be supporting infantry and maintenance personnel. The Sherman was not designed for defense. When immobilized, it was an iron coffin. In addition, the US military had an absolute advantage at this time, and it was really inexplicable to defend a tank and fight alone.

Taking a step back, even if this place must be defended. The conditions are five people, two light and heavy machine guns, a cannon, and several other weapons. Apart from squatting in a tank that cannot move, can you come up with individual tactics?

But that would not be worshiping the Tank Cult, and the movie would be meaningless.

Finally, there is a sure-killer, a senior sniper among the young soldiers. The various welfare elements are dizzying and exciting.

In this movie about Saint Tank worship, the acting definitely saves the plot. The plot line is weak, but the use of details adds human depth.

The keynote of the story is "war turns people into ghosts" which has been popular since "Private Ryan". The three young people who shine with the light of humanity: the young machine gunner, the German girl, and the young German soldier who used the flashlight at the end are all innocent because of their inexperience in the world. When three people are about to fall into the purgatory of war, the war is over, or people die, and the three people are saved from losing their humanity, which is the most touching part of this movie.

The others have turned into ghosts, continuing Brad Pitt's view of war without good guys and bad guys in "Inglourious Basterds", which can also be regarded as the trend of recent war movies.

It is not necessarily a bad thing for a person who becomes a ghost to die on the battlefield.

There are two other small things. Brad Pitt is old enough to play the role of mentor, which is a little surprising.

There is also the pyrotechnician in this film. I don’t know what he was thinking about, and he made an explosion effect of fireworks.
