It's not about war, it's about us.

Rating: 8/10 (1 March 1999)

Having seen this movie, I need to say how great it is. I was hoping that this was not going to be another "crash, boom, bang" - movie. And thank God it isn't !
The main audience didn't really get to notice the plenty quotes taken from Homer (Odysee, Ilias) ; Nolte names him once ! But the most important thing is that this movie is not about war because war is just a device to prove how important the world is and so are the human beings living in this world (human beings = soldiers) .
But in war we're just dirt, that's what the earth is made of - and so are the human beings / soldiers.
