剧情介绍
获2012年威尼斯电影节金狮提名，智利著名导演拉乌·鲁兹的历史战争剧情遗作，众多明星包括西班牙女星玛丽莎·佩雷德斯、法国影后伊莎贝尔·于佩尔以及约翰·马尔科维奇等出演该片向其致敬，影片讲述了1810年传奇将军惠灵顿率葡萄牙军队抵抗法国精锐入侵的历史决战，最终让拿破仑兵败滑铁卢…
On September 27, 1810, the French troops commanded by Marshal Massena, were defeated in the Serra do Buçaco by the Anglo-Portuguese army of general Wellington. Despite the victory, Portuguese and British are forced to retreat from the enemy, numerically superior, in order to attract them to Torres Vedras, where Wellington had built fortified lines hardly surmountable. Simultaneously, the Anglo-Portuguese command organizes the evacuation of the entire territory between the battlefield and the lines of Torres Vedras, a gigantic burned land operation, which prevents the French from collecting supplies. This is the setting for the adventures of a multitude of characters from all social backgrounds - soldiers and civilians, men, women and children, young and old - to the daily routine torn by war and dragged through hills and valleys, between ruined villages, charred forests and devastated crops.Highly persecuted by the French, already tormented by an unmerciful weather, the mass of fugitives continues to move forward clenching the teeth, just to save their skin, loaded with tenacious will to resist the invaders and retreat them from their country. Or even hoping to take advantage of the disarray to satisfy their basic instincts. All of them, whatever nature or motivations - the idealistic young lieutenant Pedro De Alencar, Clarissa Warren, the malicious little English girl, the shady dealer Penabranca, the vindictive Sergeant Francisco Xavier or the lusty prostitute Martírio, all gather by different paths to the lines of Torres, where the final battle will decide the fate of each one of them.
对白很有韵律感的多线情节剧(看不出sarmiento导演的两部作品与ruiz有什么实质区别，后者的情节剧作品正是时常在配乐逐渐占据声音主体时，变化主要人物的对白力度（听起来像发声部位后移，吐气声变大），此时人物们会转入一种“奥利维拉时刻”般的交谈，叙事被暂时搁置一边。
4/10。最精彩的两个场景，是开头一个士兵跌入泥雨地画面拉伸至横尸遍野的战场，百姓饿狼扑食般扒军靴大衣，另一处是两国士兵不约而同摔死襁褓的婴儿、强奸女尸，导演大笔墨关注战乱撤退、军官虚浮的晚宴和不满素描画随意丢弃的自负，大而无当的主题叙述显得力不从心，家国命运和民生的悲剧都毫无灵魂。
战争流水账，群星打酱油。
跳着看玩，CD和于佩尔又再演姐妹啊哈哈哈，出场不到三分钟的酱油。战争沿线逃难的百姓和士兵的故事描绘吧，没什么主线人物，大杂烩。chiara穿军装巨像老爸。
Raoul Ruiz遗孀导演，170分钟的电视版剪辑而成。剧情难免散乱，更像一幅威灵顿战线沿线民生图，脸盲+历史盲如我基本上分不清敌我。难得的是客串明星太多，麦高维治+芙芙+皮寇利这个组合见过太多次，于佩尔和芙芙同框也算少有。Chiara出场那身军服，真特么MM再世啊！有机会观摩电视版。#7779
剧情松散得真如被拿破仑进击的葡萄牙，看此片是只为一睹威灵顿将军及其时的小龙虾军装等等。
民族国家之形成
厚重感出众，没有意识形态的过重描绘，这些都是优质历史战争片的特征。佳作！
平庸已经是最大的褒奖
围绕战争的周边主题剧，没意思
封套上明明印着马尔科维奇和阿马利克的剧照 结果两人都是打酱油的 太忽悠人了 事实证明 导演的遗孀能继承导演的遗产 却不能继承导演的才华
导演想拍一部史诗巨作,却将故事的线索弄得太多,太散,观者需要有耐心才行,约翰马尔科维奇这样的戏骨竟然成了配头,只是随意的露了露脸,太可惜了!
只有看过才知道是有多坑爹．．．
长度不够啊
瓦莱丽亚·萨米恩托 Valeria Sarmiento是个好女人。凭着她的努力这部电影才能够登上荧幕。
