7.7 STARS TOTAL?! ARE YOU PEOPLE NUTS?

Rating: 10/10 (10 September 2019)

This is one of the great stories of desperate battle: it is ultimately fair, treating neither side with greater respect than the other, and it is not a "pro-war" or "imperialist" movie, people who say that are so damned ignorant of history that it makes me want to SCREAM.
Never mind that it was produced and directed by two legends of postwar British cinema, and stars one of them, never mind that it was Caine's first movie, never mind any of that: if you have a problem with this account, you have a problem with FACTS.
But oh, yeah, that describes 90% of young people today, doesn't it, who were never required to actually LEARN history.
Well, then, WATCH IT, ENJOY IT, AND KNOW ON THE ASSURANCE OF THIS PROFESSIONAL MILITARY HISTORIAN TO YOU THAT YOU ARE IN FACT BEING EDUCATED AS YOU DO.
But don't let that interfere with the enjoyment.
