Serious Movie

Rating: 10/10 (3 June 2005)

A lots of critics missed the point arguing that Kelly's Heros mix comedy and war in kind of blasphemous way. Of course, WWII was a great fight between Good and Evil but Kelly's Heros do not intend to revise that fact. The point is that even in WWII individual desire for happiness and individual dreams existed as they always did and always would. This movie is in fact very serious anti-war poem of individualism. Oddball (Sutherland) should be remembered like (in certain way) the very first hippie in history. How would WWII look like with hippies? I am sure Hitler would exterminate them in concentration camps. Movie is very very funny. I do not remember any that I had laughed so much. I repeat comedy level should not hide the point. This is serious anti-war story and brings the hope that individual goals could fight against ugly historical circumstances.
