This is a total downer

Rating: 2/10 (24 November 2005)

This movie is a great historical film and depicts accurately what life in the war was like and how people coped with the ideology of war. Yet despite its many positive qualities it doe have some negative ones that in some aspects out weight the good one. This movie gets you emotionally attached to the characters and then the directors systematically kills them off almost to spite the audience and laugh in their faces. I understand that war is brutal and there are lots of fatalities and what not but kill off any soldiers that people immediately grew attached to was just dumb on the directors part. THis is why I personally will never watch this movie again because not even one decent solider was left living at the end that you cared for.
