saving the human psyche

Rating: 9/10 (21 February 2003)

this movie is amazing. not only is it a great war movie but it is also a great window on the human psyche. i can say that it's a movie about honor but it's so much more than that. it's about everything else as well. there really are no words to explain what this movie is about except that it is a lesson on honor and...everything else. this is a really bad review but i would be dumbfounded if an adequate description of the underlying lesson existed. it's a feeling you get when you watch the movie. it makes you rethink the rules of war versus basic survival instincts. and war reflects everything that happens in life. i take that back. war magnifies every human emotion and human reaction. this movie does a magnificent job at portraying it.
