Two hours and 45 minutes of morbid poetics is not enjoyable.

Rating: 2/10 (24 January 1999)

This movie contained some excellent shots and for the most part seemed realistic. But due to some of the characters looking alike I am still in a state of confusion as to what actually transpired. Due to much of the story being told in a poetic fashion, it quickly became redundant and tiresome. I believe the movie focused too much on the dark side of war and failed to express optimism for the future. Timeline was unclear - i.e., over what period of time did the story take place? Overall I would not recommend this movie.
