War

Rating: Null/10 (19 March 2013)

The beginning scene at the grave is well done in that it doesn't give away whose grave it is nor who the old man is.
The D-Day battle was grotesque, horrible, chaotic, and raw - a great portrayal of how ugly war can get and how horrible this particular invasion was. I felt this scene was one of the best war scenes I've ever seen in a film and just for that I feel this movie deserves acclaim.
The hopelessness and evil of war was well done, but I felt that things slowed drastically after the initial battle scene. The rest of the movie moved a bit slow for me, and the ending was not the great for me. The beginning scene, though, is what saved the film.
