Masterpiece humanistic anti-war movie

Rating: Null/10 (7 March 2003)

This movie is a masterpiece. It is also a portray of how the ambition and lunacy of a few men can lead to the death of many others.
Kubrick is a master of light, and the beautiful cinematography adds to the poignancy of many scenes.
The acting is superb, the travellings are fantastic, and the plot keeps you all the time on your toes.
Most of all, Kubrick passes a humanistic message. He insists on it again and again. However, this picture is not only about good and evil, or about reason and lunacy, or about ambition and idealism.
This movie is also about how men act when confronted to situations at the extreme limit, such as war. By showing the possibility of keeping human sentiments, such as compassion with your fellow man, it gives us some hope.
