The one touching scene isn't the last...

Rating: Null/10 (17 January 1999)

The battle scenes: outstanding. The bits in between: not as satisfying. What price a Tarantino to sharpen up the banter of fighting men who are questioning their mission and wanting to live and simply return intact to the Bronx, or Cow's Bum, Idaho (or Montreal, or Glasgow, or Adelaide, or Hamburg.)
The most touching scene in the whole movie was NOT the final scene at the cemetery; (Take 1 "message". Apply it with a hammer. Add 1 American flag just to make sure.)
No, the scene that affected me most was the death of the Jewish soldier, almost gently "put to sleep" by his sworn German enemy in the room (religiously peaceful) in the midst of battle. At the same time, the communications corporal, responsible for that German's life, lay stricken on the stairs a few metres away, unable to bring himself to help.
