关于此电影

Just after midnight on June 6, 1944, 160,000 Allied troops crossed the English Channel to launch the largest seaborne invasion in history. Their mission: to break through the coastal defenses of Hitler's "Fortress Europe" and establish a western front. STORMING JUNO follows the stories of three young soldiers, who against incredible odds, secured a beachhead on D-Day and helped to change the course of the war.

of Americans on the Omaha or Utah beaches. That is why as a Canadian I wasn't going to miss watching The Storming of Juno. During the Second World War, the gallantry, professionalism and stubborn courage of Canadian soldiers were recognized by all, including the Germans themselves. Juno was the first of all the beaches to fall under allied control, and that day the Canadians went farther inland than any other allied groups. "The Storming of Juno" wants to celebrate that victory, and it does a correct job. It's a docu-drama with reenactments, real photos and videos of the time, and it relies heavily - too much in fact - on narration. The narrating, as well as some of the acting, is not always very convincing. But the movie is redeemed in the last part by the presence of real Canadian veterans who share their war memories with us. That's one more reason to be grateful to each and every one of them. (andré r. gignac)
