Title: Lousy Film; great flights
Review: The dramatic narrative makes no sense. How would a lowly infantryman with two years of trench warfare experience somehow be transformed into a WWI aviator, posted with the aristocrats of the war?Why would such an aviator, relying on his fellow pilots for support, maintain an antagonistic relationship with his fellow officers? Not only this, some kind of ongoing in-you-face conflict with one of the unit's best fighters?Why would a German general, at the very end of the war, attempt to launch some kind of "propaganda campaign" to affect public opinion. . . when the public supported the war, and later blamed the generals for selling out Germany?And, at the end of the day, how are we expected to believe that our aviator believes the Blue Max award will somehow make him a real man? It's just a medal.The movie is a real leap from what the reality of that situation would be. However, the flight sequences are great!
