worst war movie in long time
ok, i DID NOT see the whole movie, but i did see a couple of minutes and several clips. i think it is poisend with heroic and unrealistic thoughts.
example:
the scene in the village with the Mg- nest
the german mg-nest is in a church, those "bad godless german bastards". this scene is not about showing how terrible it was to fought in WWI, it's about setting up a picture of evil german soldiers. the other side killed people, too. both sides went through hell and invented it every day in a new form.
but the worst part is, when they plan the attack on that mg-nest. the main charackter grinned like he was looking forward to the attack. i had the feeling that i was watching a bad action movie. IT WAS HELL and nothing else. i had the feeling that the main charakter was a action hero, who "knows" that he is better in fighting then anybody else.
the part was not even historicaly realistic. nobody is flying through the air or gets wiped over the floor when he gets shot. thats just bullcrap and a sign of lacking knowlegde.
sorry, but that is not a good example to represent our ancestors.
