can someone tell me?....
How did Celliers survive the firing squad? that's the only part I didn't get... great movie though

The firing squad didn't actually aim to hit him. Yanoi had already decided to take him to the prison camp.. The firing squad was just a form of psycological torture.
shareDamn... that makes way more sense now! haha. Thanks

You're right about the motive, but not the technique. They aimed at him, but were using blanks. They would not waste live ammunition. Also if they shifted their aim Celliers might have noticed (since he had no blindfold) & that would have lessened the impact of Captain Yonoi's "jest".
shareWas it torture, or was it that Yonoi's superiors had decided he (Celliers) should be executed, and that going through the motions allowed him to 'not directly disobey his superiors' and take him off to the camp. Because he was intruiged by him and also because he thought Celliers was indeed telling the truth.
When Celliers arrived at the camp and was recognised by Laurence, the reaction of Yonoi kind of confirms this need to believe him being truthful, to infact justify his action.
Not so much a jest as 'cruel to be kind'...
