On 6 September 1950, an exhausted platoon of the 24th Infantry Division is cut off. In addition to losing radio contact, the platoon is harassed by unseen North Korean infiltrators who silently kill the Americans and take their weapons. Platoon commander Lieutenant Benson (Ryan) has only vague instructions to reach a certain hill to link up with American forces.

Le 6 septembre 1950, durant la retraite sur Pusan en Corée, le lieutenant Benson, à la tête d'un peloton de seize hommes, tente de regagner les lignes des forces américaines situées à vingt-cinq kilomètres de là, à la cote 465. En chemin, Benson et ses hommes croisent une jeep conduite par le sergent Montana, qui essaie de ramener en lieu sûr un colonel paralysé à la suite d'un choc nerveux et incapable de bouger et de parler…

Le colonel Saïto commande un camp japonais de prisonniers de guerre en Thaïlande lors de l'expansion de l'Empire japonais en Extrême-Orient durant la Seconde Guerre mondiale. Il reçoit dans ce camp perdu au milieu de la jungle un nouveau groupe de prisonniers britanniques, commandés par le colonel Nicholson. Il doit aussi faire construire un pont sur la rivière Kwaï, avec une échéance impérative : un train d'importance stratégique doit y passer. Le colonel Saïto décide donc de mettre à l'ouvrage ses prisonniers et exige du colonel Nicholson que même les officiers se mettent au travail. Le colonel Nicholson refuse ce dernier point, non conforme aux accords de Genève sur les prisonniers de guerre. Saïto brime alors sévèrement Nicholson et met à l'épreuve sa résistance physique, espérant ainsi le forcer à céder. Nicholson ne cède pas, par principe. Tenant tête à ses geôliers, Nicholson inspire une grande admiration à ses hommes.

The screenplay was based upon French author Pierre Boulle's 1954 novel of the same name. The film's story was loosely based on a true World War II incident, and the real-life character of Lieutenant Colonel Philip Toosey. One of a number of Allied POW's, Toosey was in charge of his men from late 1942 through May 1943 when they were ordered to build two Kwai River bridges in Burma (one of steel, one of wood), to help move Japanese supplies and troops from Bangkok to Rangoon. In reality, the actual bridge took 8 months to build (rather than two months), and they were actually used for two years, and were only destroyed two years after their construction - in late June 1945.

Director Paul GREENGRASS

Cast/Avec Matt Damon, Amy Ryan, Greg Kinnear…

Academy Award® nominees Matt Damon and director Paul Greengrass (The Bourne Supremacy, The Bourne Ultimatum) reteam in this action-packed thriller. Damon stars as Roy Miller, a rogue U.S. Army officer who must hunt through covert and faulty intelligence hidden on foreign soil before war escalates in an unstable region. Also starring Academy Award® nominees Greg Kinnear and Amy Ryan, GREEN ZONE is “one hell of a thriller” (Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times).

En 2003, Roy Miller, un jeune sous-officier, et son unité sont envoyés dans le désert irakien pour trouver les armes de destruction massive qui y seraient stockées. Au péril de leur vie, ils visitent des sites tous plus dangereux les uns que les autres mais ne découvrent rien d'autre qu'une incroyable machination. Se basant sur des informations aussi secrètes qu'erronées fournies par des contacts ayant chacun des motivations différentes, Miller tente de se frayer un chemin en terre étrangère, à la recherche de réponses qui aboutiront soit à l'effondrement d'une administration pervertie, soit au déclenchement d'une guerre dans une région politiquement instable. Alors que la situation devient de plus en plus explosive, Miller va découvrir que l'arme la plus secrète et la plus difficile à découvrir entre toutes est la vérité…

Major Dan Kirby (John Wayne) arrives to VMF-247 as the new commander while everybody in the unit was expecting Captain Carl "Grif" Griffin (Robert Ryan) to take his place. Kirby is strict with rules and makes it understood from day one. Assigned to the Cactus Air Force during the Guadalcanal campaign, Kirby has few planes available and a lot to accomplish in a field that is attacked daily by the Japanese. His pilots are young and behave like "kids," at times disobeying orders and foolishly losing their lives and precious planes. Kirby is requiring maximum effort, and Captain Griffin is not as tough as Kirby expects. Griffin stays closer to his young pilots. One of them is his own brother-in-law, Vern "Cowboy" Blithe (Don Taylor).

Eté 1942, Hawaï. La bataille du Pacifique fait rage. Le commandant Dan Kirbi débarque sur l'ile pour prendre la tête de la redoutable escadrille 'Wildcats'. Sa personnalité et ses méthodes autoritaires ne font pas l'unanimité auprés de ses hommes. Le capitaine Griffin s'oppose ouvertement à son nouveau supérieur hiérarchique. Les deux hommes de devoir pourront-ils s'entendre lors des périlleuses missions à venir ?

Roberto Rossellini is one of the most influential filmmakers of all time. And it was with his trilogy of films made during and after World War II — Rome Open City, Paisan, and Germany Ground Zero — that he left his first transformative mark on cinema. With their stripped-down aesthetic, largely nonprofessional casts, and unorthodox approaches to storytelling, these intensely emotional works were international sensations and effectively launched the neorealist movement. Shot in battle-ravaged Italy and Germany, these three films are some of our most lasting, humane documents of devastated postwar Europe, containing universal images that encompass both tragedy and hope.

Eclipse Series 41: Kinoshita and World War II (1943-1946) [Criterion Collection] Movies

Posted by RSU75 at April 30, 2019

Hugely popular in his home country of Japan, Keisuke Kinoshita worked tirelessly as a director for nearly half a century, making lyrical, sentimental films that often center on the inherent goodness of people, especially in times of distress. He began his directing career during a most challenging time for Japanese cinema: World War II, when the industry’s output was closely monitored by the state and often had to be purely propagandistic. This collection of Kinoshita’s first films—four made while the war was going on and one shortly after Japan’s surrender—demonstrates the way the filmmaker’s humanity and exquisite cinematic technique shone through even in the darkest of times.

Ich war neunzehn (1968) Movies

Posted by Someonelse at July 13, 2012

April 1945: Gregor Hecker, 19 years of age, reaches the outskirts of Berlin as part of the Red Army's scouting team. Having fled Germany with his family when he was eight, he is confronted with the dilemma of having to fight men from the very country he was born in. Through dealing with challenging situations (e.g. he is appointed commander of Bernau, talks to many disillusioned Germans, and is once and again attacked by scattered groups of German soldiers), he grows more confident that not all hope is lost for post-war Germany. Based on the diary entries of director Konrad Wolf, the episodic movie authentically portrays the protagonist's struggle to come to terms with his own past and identity.
