Title: Was is a game, irony
Product review: If you see this movie in perspective, it was filmed in 1949, right after the war, and the US were coming our of their biggest conflict ever. Hollywood had the responsibility to rebuild a positive sense in life, and war movies like this had the purpose of portraying war a nasty ugly thing were irony and American positive values could still dominate. Today we are used to realism and this movie clearly belongs to another time in history.The story itself is supposedly centered around the battle of Bastogne, but in reality the battle and its struggles are exposed with limited details. What is extensively depicted is the life of the American soldier at the front. This would make a movie interesting, but again this movie cooks the story with too much irony, positive values, and American idealism that in my opinion becomes boring and ridiculous.
