La Grande Illusion

Rating: 7/10 (19 May 2020)

What I liked: Clearly influential, it's The Great Escape 30 years before. It's got a lot to say about how trivial nations and class are and how fighting a war over them is ridiculous, which is funny because this film came out 2 years before WW2. It also disproves the idea that old films are badly acted.
What I disliked: It feels too long, it's a bit like return of the king where it seems to keep going and going at the end. I also wasn't that bothered by the relationships in this film and I think they're key to the film.
