Classic but lacks depth

Rating: 7/10 (26 March 2020)

This movie is based on real-event; and undoubtedly very amusing classic from 60s. The great escape is irrefutably a great movie of that time. But what i personally prefer in 60s movie is not their story-line, cinematography; but dialogue. When I watch any movies from 1960s, I always expect depth of dialogue to be something that we highly lacks in modern movies. But unfortunately, this particular movie didn't give me that vibe. On the other hand, POWs in Germany where not treated as humanely in Nazi Germany as it is depicted here. That is why some scenes were somewhat disturbing. I would suggest any conscious viewer to cross-check the facts before watching this movie.
