Makes quite a statement... or three

Rating: Null/10 (28 September 2002)

Peckinpah has the ability to make powerful statements with graphic visuals and blessedly few words. Although some of the historical facts are tossed around, the end result is a better understanding of the German's point of view of World War II and the political issues at hand with the US, Europe and Russia.
Ultimately, I felt a greater appreciation for humanity. But then, Peckinpah has that impact on me. As hard as this was to watch - it just broke my heart in so many places - I'm glad I made it through it. Much more "realistic" than Saving Private Ryan.
