Great adaptation of novel

Rating: 10/10 (21 February 2001)

One of the best movies adapted from a novel. The director has managed to create a movie that captures the feel and intent of the novel accurately. At the same time, the film has it's own identity. It is not a mere dramatization of the novel. Both book and film are absolute masterpieces and both are two of the most scathing condemnations of war.
The film shows the insanity of war as a solution to conflict in a very funny and almost surreal way.
