Lines of Wellington 2012 123movies

Watch: Linhas de Wellington 2012 123movies, Full Movie Online – On September 27, 1810, the French troops commanded by Marshal Massena, were defeated in the Serra do Buçaco by the Anglo-Portuguese army of general Wellington. Despite the victory, Portuguese and British are forced to retreat from the enemy, numerically superior, in order to attract them to Torres Vedras, where Wellington had built fortified lines hardly surmountable. Simultaneously, the Anglo-Portuguese command organizes the evacuation of the entire territory between the battlefield and the lines of Torres Vedras, a gigantic burned land operation, which prevents the French from collecting supplies. This is the setting for the adventures of a multitude of characters from all social backgrounds – soldiers and civilians, men, women and children, young and old – to the daily routine torn by war and dragged through hills and valleys, between ruined villages, charred forests and devastated crops.Highly persecuted by the French, already tormented by an unmerciful weather, the mass of fugitives continues to move forward clenching the teeth, just to save their skin, loaded with tenacious will to resist the invaders and retreat them from their country. Or even hoping to take advantage of the disarray to satisfy their basic instincts. All of them, whatever nature or motivations – the idealistic young lieutenant Pedro De Alencar, Clarissa Warren, the malicious little English girl, the shady dealer Penabranca, the vindictive Sergeant Francisco Xavier or the lusty prostitute Martírio, all gather by different paths to the lines of Torres, where the final battle will decide the fate of each one of them..
Plot: Passionate romance, brutal treachery, and selfless nobility are set against the background of Napoleon’s 1810 invasion of Portugal.

Reviews:

Watchable but quite disappointing.
If you think about the French Invasions of the 19th Century, you think about a time of war, tragedy, heroism, violence and excesses. It is the perfect plot for an epic movie. Unfortunately, in the case of “Linhas de Wellington”, the movie is Portuguese. Don’t get me wrong, I am Portuguese too. What I mean is that we, as a nation, have a very hard time dealing with our own heritage and heroes. I don’t know, perhaps deep inside each of us knows how short we fell of living up to our forefathers extraordinary legacy. Anyway, regardless of the reason why, the fact is that we do not give enough praise to the best among us, and that reflects on our modern art in general and in this movie in particular. That being said, instead of all the drama, heroism and war, this movie shows the story of simple people, ordinary anonymous folks, leaving their land as the French Army advances. Unfortunately, there are too many characters, not shown long enough for the viewer too actually identify himself with any of them. That turns the movie into a tale about people you don’t really care for. As for the Duque of Wellington, the way he is portrayed is nothing short of revolting… As you would expect from a Portuguese movie because of all I said above. As a conclusion, “Linhas de Wellington” is a big disappointment. It is watchable, but nothing more than that.

Great!
Back to the napoleon invasions the Portuguese people try to refuge ,along with the Portuguese and english army, on the wellington lines, designe by general wellington to prevent the french army to invade Portugal. The movie doesn’t have one linear story. The story is divided until in some points of the storyline they all come together. The movie has some moments of tension, the photography is very beautiful despite not being very ambitious but it fits and helps the movie to tell the story. I think the big mistake of this picture is the division of the storyline. I get it that maybe the writers and directors want to give the perspective that there wasn’t only one hero, but multiple hero’s. The second mistake is the lack of danger, the only time that we get to experience fear for the life of the characters the problem is very easily solved. There’s some characters that dont bring nothing to the movie, and the ones who make the difference are badly developed because we I already mention the division of the storyline. Despite all of that the movie as a overall good story, great performances , great shooting. I just feel sorry for the great build up of some situation so at the end as a pretty easy resolution. This movie is a 7 maybe a 7.5.
