Cinematic yet shallow

Rating: 6/10 (12 April 2020)

I went into this movie knowing not much about it other than it's extreme hype. Many people told me how much they loved it and I thought the trailer looked amazing. The cinematography did not disappoint but the story did. The characters seemed shallow and hard to connect with. The death scene seemed unemotional and the last conversation didn't do their relationship justice- which we actually have no clue how close they actually were. The film also lost steam as everything just seemed to work out for the main character. The convoy, the horrible aim of Germans, the river, the 2nd being 50 feet from where he got out of the river, and more. The cinematography was beautiful but that is not enough to carry this film to the top ranks in my opinion.
