The first thing is airplanes, well and girls —then © Yes, Hollywood has long developed stereotypes, principles for siphoning money from viewers, i.e. ordinary people. And they are so banal that people simply do not pay attention to it and once again go to watch another drama on unusual people, laustoric attached.
So that everything does not seem so simple, the filmmakers attach to the opening credits the phrase “The film is based on real events”, thinking that they have created the best effect.
I think if it wasn’t for the film, many people wouldn’t have heard of such a squadron at all, especially Western viewers and Americans. And they believed / believe that both the Second World War and the First was won by America.
Oh, come on. That's not the movie. This is followed by a tedious comparison and prediction of all the main moves of the film event.
The first thing that catches your eye is the good old Legionnaire with Van Dam. Also, due to problems with the law, he fled the states to Europe and enrolled as a volunteer for the war. If there are infantry, there are air forces.
The sky, the planes, the girls, the war, nothing? That's right, Pearl Harbor. He has a lot in common with this movie.
The whole film is so predictable, right down to who and how will die and who will remain alive.
This is the failure of such a “cinema”. What about the U.S. that it hasn't even collected half its budget in the world? No wonder.
By the way, this is also a regularity - if any American blockbuster is filmed either in France or with the participation of the French - necessarily for the role of Jean Renault.
But it's not all that bad in the movie. Let’s say the air battles are very beautifully done. I haven’t seen airplanes anywhere in the movies. Unless in video games. The scenes when the American squadron flies towards the enemy with the whole compartment, and then they fly away from each other in a few centimeters - just breathtaking.
The film is designed for once, unlike the same "Pearl Harbor".
