Understand

Rating: 9/10 (15 January 2000)

It is true that this film swam in the money because of "Saving Private Ryan". It was introduced after "Saving Private Ryan" and all credit to the producers. It is my second best war film after "Platoon" and a close second at that. The characters understand that they are going to die. If not in war then somewhere else. Witt knows that, so he deals with it in his dream like manner. He has made his peace with dying. It is beautiful to watch, this calm portay of chaos. Not really an anti-war film but just a chance to show us how it should feel to die. Brilliant!
