摘要

In the 20th century, motion picture and modern warfare techniques developed alongside each other. Movie cameras recorded the devastating effects of the wars of a turbulent century, which historian Eric J. Hobsbawm aptly called "the Age of Extremes." For the first time in human history, documentary film made it possible to capture the bombing of cities, aerial combat at sea, and mechanized land battles. For filmmakers, it was only a short step from recording real war on film to creating war movies as a form of mass entertainment. As a subject, war has always been ideal for commercial cinema since it embraces all of humanity's great themes―life, death, love, faith, hope, duty, defeat, and victory. As a genre, the war film is broad. Many famous films use wartime settings: Gone With the Wind and Casablanca spring immediately to mind. War films can be biographical and character-driven, such as Patton and MacArthur. They can probe the problems of command, as in Twelve O'Clock High and Paths of Glory, or prisoner-of-war survival, as in The Bridge on the River Kwai. They can concentrate on the homefront and life during or after wartime, as in Mrs. Miniver and The Best Years of Our Lives. War films about military medicine, military legal issues, or military training have also been made, including M~*A~*S~*H, The Caine Mutiny, and The Long Gray Line. Whatever the merits of these diverse films, none of them is specifically about frontline fighting or, more properly, the art of combat. As German military strategist General Carl von Clause-witz reminds us, "It is inherent in the very concept of war that everything that occurs must originally derive from combat."

Hobsbawm）恰当地称其为“极端时代”。纪录片是人类历史上第一次，可以捕捉到城市轰炸，海上空战以及机械化的陆战。对于电影制片人来说，这只是从录制真实的电影战争到制作战争电影作为大众娱乐形式的一小步。作为主题，战争一直以来都是商业电影的理想选择，因为它涵盖了人类所有伟大的主题-生，死，爱，信仰，希望，责任，失败和胜利。作为一种类型，战争片是广泛的。许多著名的电影都使用战时设置：《乱世佳人》和卡萨布兰卡立刻浮现在脑海。战争片可以是人物传记和人物题材电影，例如Patton和MacArthur。他们可以探究指挥问题，例如《十二点钟》和《荣耀之路》，或者是战俘的生存问题，例如《桂河大桥》。他们可以集中精力在战时或战后的家中和生活中，例如Miniver夫人和《我们生命中的最佳时光》。还制作了有关军事医学，军事法律问题或军事训练的战争电影，包括M〜* A〜* S〜* H，The Caine Mutiny和Long Long Line。无论这些多样化的电影的优点是什么，它们都不是专门针对前线战斗，或更确切地说，是战斗技巧。正如德国军事战略家卡尔·冯·克劳斯·维茨将军提醒我们的那样，“战争的固有观念是，发生的一切都必须最初来自战斗。”
