The germans seems really cool with all the escape attempts, such nice fellows!
That's because they don't have the terrible Colonel Klink. 😂
I'm sure 51 of these men won't be dead by the end of the film.
@@barneymetcalfe8896 That was some other guy’s fault, not that particular officer’s
@@barneymetcalfe8896these guys are the luftwaffe men. The one that killed those 51 men were gestapo
The entire point of the camp was to house POW's with histories of breaking out. I suppose they wanted to prove that the camp couldn't be broken like the other ones. And they did punish people they caught, one dude kept getting thrown in solitary
The only well-known 60s film Family Guy hasn’t poked fun at yet
I can't tell if that's a joke
Why did you have to say that. Now they might finally be ware of it
At least The Simpson did
Zulu?
this movie took a turn near the end. I thought I was watching a action comedy romp, until the prisoners actually escaped and the Germans started treating them as spies instead of pow.
I always wondered if someone else had hidden in the truck with Ives. The German officer stops forking the pile of trees once Ives pops out. A guy could have remained hidden deeper down and gotten out.
If only the camps were that nice.
Western POWs were half-starved, though allowed to receive Red Cross parcels. Though better than how Soviet POWs were treated - especially in 1941 and the first half of 1942, many Soviet POWs in German hands were literally allowed to starve to death. Officers' camps like Sagan, the camp here, were marginally better than ones for enlisted men. Although it tended to be officers who tried to escape - enlisted men generally did not try.
@@stevekaczynski3793the enlisted had bigger problems. Men fighting malnutrition aren't in a good position to try to escape
@@Peoples_Republic_of_Devonshire They generally had a different mentality from the officers. In a book I once saw an interesting photo of British POWs in German hands working on a farm. It was a hot summer's day and they are stripped to the waist. They have fairly extensive tattoos on their bodies, which was an urban working class thing at the time, as well as something sailors did. Not the same thing as the "officer class".
In the film it explains that the camp was brand new and specially built for all the most difficult prisoners.. it would make sense that it looked pretty nice at first.
My Russian girlfriend could not stop laughing when I told her that line. It does mean I love you. But is said in a very stiff formally polite way. Not the way she wanted to hear it.
Yabaslopblu? 😂
@@irwinfungActually, it's more like "Ya tebya lyublyu" or in Cyrillic "Я тебя люблю".
@@whiteknightcat "Vas" is formal/polite, or addressed to more than one person. However, a poem by Pushkin in the 19th century has "ya vas lyublyu", addressed to one woman but it seems it was not odd in c.1830 Russian to use the formal form in a declaration of love.
@@stevekaczynski3793 In 19th century it was usual to use formal form in higher classes in whole Europe. Alson in English you wouldn't say:. I love you Lucy, but I love you MISS Lucy. People had style those days
It very much gives “I love you, sir/ma’am” in the tone of a soldier at attention.
No guard would turn his back on and walk in front of a prisoner carrying a large axe. Guards walked on each side of the work detail.
My favorite movie. All has to do their job for success to occur.
Guards and POW’s often spent years together and there were life long friendships made. Some former guards and POW’s would visit each other for holidays in Germany or Britain.
Loved Ives...he was too good! The smirk he gives the soldier is priceless.
Every time I watch this,I have the theme song stuck in my head😮❤
The Great Escape was a good movie (1963)
... Is an outstanding movie.
Legendary movie
Great movie
the greatest hero movie ever made!
Some of the Luftwaffe camp guards have yellow collar patches (the most typical Luftwaffe colour on uniforms), others red. Not obvious why this is the case - red tended to be worn by Luftwaffe troops who manned anti-aircraft guns. Perhaps they were transferred from that.
Must tell the wife that mate...😂
いい面構えしてんだよなぁマックイーン大好き
Bloody excellent film.😊
I saw it the first time on TV 1974, 3:30 movie Chicago. I was in 4th grade and all the kids wanted to dig tunnels in there backyards.
There were more Americans in the camp than British Commonwealth forces.
There were hardly any - Sagan was mostly British and Commonwealth, with some Poles and Czechs and a few other nationalities. Sometimes Americans in transit to another camp were kept there briefly.
My buddy Rick auditioned for this back in the day. He was in the news for burning a hippie to a crisp with a flame thrower, wild stuff.
What? I feel like those are two different stories.
I am currently in a state of confusion too
It a reference to Once Upon a Time in Hollywood gees, Rick has a scene where he talks about auditioning for the movie but didn't get it.
The 2nd movie about this included Christopher Reeve.
Pardon my ignorance, but is there a reason the guards are part of the Luftwaffe?
It's a camp for captured pilots. Those were guarded by the Luftwaffe.
Where do I get the full movie
Der cooler.
بطل هذا الفيلم حاضر له فيلم الفراشة بداية الثمانينيات يمكن اسمو داستن هوفمان لا اذكر.
I wish I had been born in the year 1963, when classic Dr Who started its debut in black and white with Bill Hartnell.
Both sides lost to the same enemy.
I bought this on Blu-ray. I bought this on DVD I bought this on VHS. I bought it on 4K Blu-ray. Lol
I have the Criterion blu ray. Haven't upgraded to the 4k yet. It seems like it's quite dark compared to the blu ray, which I notice in quite a few 4k discs.
Great movie but kind of a sad ending. Tho from what I remember it was partially based on real events.
They were shot, but no mass shootings.
Escape from Sobivor
The Germans here are actually cool 😎
Przełamywanie wojny okupacji, inna była okupacja Francji a inna w Polsce, kara śmierci za ratowanie Żydów była tylko w Polsce zginęły całe rodziny 😢
Ma być przekłamywanie wojny
At least they kept records of their names...oh s**t I'm going to be dele-[comment deleted]
Great movie, great actors, but unfortunately makes the POW camp look like a nice friendly place. It wasn't.
I loved watching this movie with my bootlicker adoptive father as a kid. Now I'm going into the Delayed Enlistment Program to actually make a difference while he dies of being an alcoholic.
Great film.
Good on you man not letting dogshit parents get the best of you
How very nice of you. You will surely make a splendid soldier! How good that there is a Delayed Enlistment Program for people coming out of the Delayed Development Program.
Make a difference doing what? You're delusional kid.
True story, but no Americans
There were US airman there who did get involved but they were moved out before the escape.
It was a money makìng movie
Inaccurate in all areas!
It’s generally accurate.
False
@@doomsday9973 Some of the movie characters were composites, some didn’t exist, some names were changed, timescale was compressed, but the details of the escape were accurate.
@@JS-fe8sx correct
Things dont seem so bad. Guards seem nice. Why try to escape. Probablybsafer their then you would be in battles like d day.
This movie does not stand the test of time. The beginning is foolish and doesn't get better.
if your 12
The Great Escape and The Dambuster Raid. Useless stunts that yielded no military gain whatsoever, only plenty of dead British. And 'heroic' movies thereafter ...
Fascinating. I disagree.
Well, good for you. We all love a heroic story with manly deeds and so on. Just don't mistake it for history.@@rutabagasteu
@@thesep1967 i know that the actual damage busters did knock down several dams being used for hydroelectric power. And a version of the great escape did happen.
based on true story..a lot of the escaped were shot by SS. sorry but I enjoyed the story.
You can’t say there was no military gain. Thousands of German troops were employed looking for the escapers and three did make it home. For the dams raid they did interrupt German industrial outputs although not as much as they might have if they’d been followed up. So no military gain? No, there was some
