What do players like Pele or alongside Bobby Moore Sylvester Stallone and Michael Caine ? As a movie, why not. A football movie. And Nazis. What on earth is that? See Evasion or victory and they will understand.
Evasion or victory (John Huston , 1981) sought to rely at first on a true story which occurred during World War II. In German-occupied Ukraine in 1942, he organized a series of matches between players of Dynamo Kiev and other equipment of the forces of occupation. After winning every game, the Ukrainian team faced the forces of Nazi aircraft, the Luftwaffe. After the first part of the party warned the Dynamo players of the terrible consequences could be for them to win that game, but this did not seem to frighten you. After winning by a landslide, four of them were afusilados.
However, the film finally at hand has little do with that history. Michael Caine plays the role of a British officer and international soccer player, who was being held prisoner in a prison camp in France a German general offers to organize a singles match against married, I say, against German prisoners. Finally the thing just leaves mother and setting up a meeting between a sort of international selection with players of various nationalities (all prisoners in various fields) and the German football team in a stadium in Paris. Thus, the Nazis are an opportunity to demonstrate the superiority of their race and nation and advance the propaganda war. For its part, British officials held in the prison camp where he spent most of the film are the prefect time to organize the escape of the entire Allied team during the match and score a moral victory and also to ridicule the Germans.
Anyone who has seen The Great Escape look in amazement, how Evasion or victory seems, especially at first, a replica of the first. Starting with the title or based on real events, through all the details of the camp and the incredible infrastructure available to them to organize escapes, to the soundtrack and the little realism of the story, everything reminds The Great Escape. If even Stallone makes the same role as the good Steve McQueen! Obviously, the John Sturges film exceeds all that of Huston , but if the former could be described as "Sunday-afternoon movie, the second is undoubtedly a" movie-Sunday-evening total.
Evasion or victory is, if it is not clear, a very entertaining movie and I must admit I liked a lot, despite the total lack of credibility of his argument, the other thing side gives it a special charm. Importantly it exciting installment Finally, during which takes place the happy party, you may run out of nails if neglected.
