What is war?

Rating: Null/10 (13 April 2004)

What is war in itself? The most important thing what a war movie needs to show. Without any politics and anything what can be important in another film. This movie satisfied this. We could see a lot of scenes of violence and combat in the former films, and this movie is so "visuable" as well. But the main part of the shown of this was when a soldier shot a japanese and started to recognize he killed a man, an won't be ever punished. This was a murder in spite of this is a war. The basic ethical dilemma in every war. The biggest scene of the film was Nick Nolte's when he shouted with Cpt.Staros, I think that was an Oscar-worthy small role. A carrierist soldier who creeped a lot for rank-progress, wants to occupy that hill that he must occupy, for what he paided a long time ago, through long years, now he must show. He obviously interest the life of his soldiers, but now it doesn't seem. The only one what seems, the booty, that he must get. "Just he wants the island" This movie shows the war very visuable, and philosophically. The film become a little bit slow this time but mistic natural pictures and strange thoughts compansate us. The locations and the japanese pacific theater of war especially suitable for philosophy. Peter Bakos
