Epic

Rating: 10/10 (19 August 2018)

I love this film. I've read the book it was based on, watched all the extras on the DVD, and the documentaries about its making. And the more I know about it the more I love it. Its hard to realise how ground breaking (technically) and controversial it was at the time (due to its subject matter, but also due to cost), and how difficult it was to make. All of it which made its name at the time, but its reputation now is based on the film, which still works today, with some epic set pieces, and excellent depiction of the lunacy of the Vietnam war, and a flawed, but still interesting, journey into the madness and immorality of war in general.
