Was this a joke?

Rating: 1/10 (1 February 2003)

It's the World War II era ... and nobody smokes.
There's only one person in this movie who opposes war .... his "cowardice" winds up costing lives.
For a moment, it seems there's ONE nice person in the nation of Germany. The merciful American soldiers let him go. This turns out to be a huge mistake, as he returns, days later, with a group of his friends to kill them all. Lesson learned - there is not even ONE reasonably nice German.
The movie ends with a salute to the American flag and blasting, inspiring music.
Was this movie made for two-year-olds?
When it comes to subject matter as complex as war, I think simple-minded movies like this do more harm than good. I'd recommend a movie written at a more grown-up level.
