Fantastic film that is one of the best war films ever.

Rating: 10/10 (26 August 2010)

From the same man who created the work of art known as "The Godfather" comes this fantastic film. The direction, writing, acting, editing, and visuals are all very good. This is often called the best war film ever. I'll just say that is very high up there. The cinematography for the time was simply gorgeous. I think this is best shown at the end where the characters are surrounded by shadows, and there is light shining on their faces. It gets really good in those scenes. The characters aren't the most memorable war movie characters, but I can completely forgive that for the pure artistry going on with this film. Acting from this film is very good. The brutality it shows is very strong. This film is one of the best war films of all time.
4 stars out of 4
