Brutal history lesson

Rating: 9/10 (3 July 2019)

Now I'm not familiar with every little detail and the movie may not be depicting what happened exactly. Yet this is as realistic and as a war movie can go. I had no idea what a gem they had produced back then. It is unrelenting and it is quite literally down and dirty. War is nothing to joke around about and it does things to people.
And people obviously do things to other people. You especially see people who did follow orders but not always. You see human beings, who got caught in a big lie and who sacrificed themselves for a purpose that was crazy to say the least. But you also see humans who realize what they are and how they are being used (against their will). You see a will to survive - as with every living thing. And you see humility, but also cowardess. Every trait is going to be exposed ... for better or worse. And the war scenes are more than well shot. I am surprised and a little bit shocked! How did it take me so long to find this? You can call it Anti War (because in the end that is what the message is) or just war movie - one thing you will call it for sure is great
