Title: Favorite war movie
Product review: I love war movies big and small but this is small one is my favorite. I just love all the great characters in this movie. I saw it in the theaters in it's original run and have it on VHS. The movie is presented documentary style so there is no mood music which is so present in war movies and the hand held jittery camera makes the movie feel unedited, more like raw footage or a newsreel. The actors, mostly unknown, do a great job as an ensemble cast. It's a movie about soldiering. Many war movies ignore why and how soldiers become soldiers but this movie shows how and why these individuals became soldiers and how they fit into a squad. Young men, juvenile and ignorant, but also brave, courageous, and committed to their soldier buddies. In the end the soldier fights not for his country but to protect his buddy. In the battlefield all they have is each other.
