One of greatest anti-war movies ever made

Rating: 10/10 (23 August 2013)

I'm not going to really spoil it other than to say that its ending is one of the greatest endings in all of movie history.
This movie is a profound, and moving, story, based on real life incidents in World War I.
It offers a shocking depiction of what war is really about.
Interesting that Adolphe Menjou, a real life coward and quisling and traitor to his people, plays someone here who is about on the same level.
Kirk Douglas's best role ever, in my book.
The imagery is very stark, and very piercing and hard hitting.
The story is beyond sad.
And yet the ending offers a measure of hope.
Awesome flick.
