What happens

黃埔軍魂（英語：A Teacher of Great Soldiers）是一部於1978年拍攝的中華民國陸軍軍教片，中央電影公司出品，劉家昌導演，鄧育昆編劇，柯俊雄、甄珍、谷名倫、向華強、恬妞、胡茵夢、翁倩玉、周丹薇、柯受良、戴世然、田野等人主演。1979年，本片男主角柯俊雄獲得第16屆金馬獎最佳劇情片男主角奬。但本片實為直接仿拍自1955年由好萊塢著名導演約翰·福特執導，泰隆·鮑華主演的電影《西點軍魂》（The Long Gray Line）。 《黃埔軍魂》影片以一名軍校資深老教官的觀點，敘述一群中華民國陸軍官校新生逐漸成長為獨當一面的軍人的故事。一些臺灣知名的歌曲，如〈黃埔男兒最豪壯〉、〈最敬禮〉、〈慈母頌〉（孫儀作詞、劉家昌作曲）等，都是出於該片。 中華民國軍歌〈黃埔軍魂〉並非出自《黃埔軍魂》電影，此歌創作時間早為1975年，同為孫儀作詞、劉家昌作曲）。因為《黃埔軍魂》一片上映相當成功，帶動了此同名曲的流行，也和電影的歌曲〈黃埔男兒最豪壯〉的歌名常會被誤傳為〈黃埔軍魂〉而造成混淆。該曲成為國軍軍歌比賽中常指定演唱的愛國歌曲。 (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
