A lesson in courage

Rating: 10/10 (26 May 2004)

The great escape is a film about freedom and the value of living free, living without fear and without hesitations under the most difficult circumstances.
It follows the lives of captives in a German camp during WWII and despite their failures all these men want is to live free and nothing will stop them at getting it.
Even though long the film remains interesting throughout. The performances are brilliant and the audience will have no difficulty relating to the characters.
A truly superb film.
