观众心声
三星，《The Long Gray Line》本意就是指西点军校整齐划一的队伍，翻译成西点军魂有点过了。全片以马提马尔一生的经历为背景，基本上可以看做是约翰福特向西点军校的献礼之作，风格上还是类似于《How Green Was My Valley》《The Quiet Man》那种爱尔兰民谣式流水账。大段的神经喜剧让人缺乏带入感，从头到尾都是平白叙事，却又混杂着浓烈的情感，步入老年的福特到底已经多愁善感 几十年前，他孤身一人以打杂工身份来到西点军校；几十年后他早已功成名就，却依然孤身一人听着广场上的军乐，恍惚之间，父亲，爱人，战死的学生又涌上眼前。这就是最纯粹的福特式浪漫。从那个诋毁传统的州长出现之后，全片就已经彻底开始煽情，虽然一直欢快热闹，却透露着人至暮年的无限悲凉
50年的西点军校生涯，这题材确实适合福特这种民谣式流水账，有些戏有笑点，有些又有些感人，但整体记忆点不多
如果说卡普拉的保守主义是一种主动保守主义：小镇青年利用传统美德改造并拯救堕落的现代都市，那么福特的保守主义就是一种被动保守主义：无论时代如何演进、前浪如何被后浪取代，我自岿然不动，爱尔兰裔美国人倔强而乐观的美德永远锚定
