Awesome movie stands as a broody statement against war and man's inhumanity to man
War, What is it Good For...
You've been posted to the front, to serve your country in the war, now they want you to go over, and face the enemy once more, only problem that you have, is you know it's certain death, there'll be no gains made here today, but there'll be, almighty mess.
As powerful a film as ever existed against those who pursue war as a solution, painting a portrait of the incompetence of command and the futility of armed conflict, as French soldiers on the front during WW1 discover the penalty for disobedience, the consequence of insubordination and that everyone is accountable, and that nothing's fair, there is no love in war.
Top performances all round, especially from Kirk Douglas, and a director that went on to make his mark quite significantly in the world of film.
