THE FALLEN is a three-sided story about German, Italian, and American soldiers, set in Northern Italy during the final weeks of the World War II. On the one side, a group of American supply soldiers delivers ammunition to the front line, a journey that becomes a descent into hell, the success of the mission becomes less likely with every setback. On the other, a doomed German unit and their ragtag Italian partners struggle to maintain morale and discipline amongst their beleaguered troops in the face of certain defeat. Torn between these are the divided loyalties of the Italians, both fascist soldiers and communist partisans, who have turned brother against brother in a bloody civil war. The film looks at the everyday life of the soldiers, their encounters on the road, their hopes and dreams, and the differences in values, morals, and patriotism between the cultures at the end of that era. 为: 《哥特防线》是一个关于德国、意大利和美国士兵的三面故事,故事发生在第二次世界大战最后几周的意大利北部。一方面,一群美国补给士兵向前线运送弹药,这段旅程变成了地狱般的下降,随着每一次挫折,任务成功的可能性都会降低。另一方面,一支注定要失败的德国部队和他们乌合之众的意大利伙伴在面对一定的失败时,努力保持被围困的部队的士气和纪律。介于两者之间的是意大利人的忠诚分歧,既有法西斯士兵,也有共产主义游击队员,他们在一场血腥的内战中反目成仇。这部电影讲述了士兵们的日常生活,他们在路上的遭遇,他们的希望和梦想,以及那个时代末不同文化在价值观、道德观和爱国主义方面的差异。
