Title: Anti-War in 1930 - Strangely attractive...
Review: I would give it a (hotly contested) 4.5 (rounded to 5). Before I explain the hotly contested part, let me explain that I am a sucker for a good black and white movie. And since this film was released in 1930, it's about as black and white as you can get. In fact, it still had a few elements of silent pictures which I enjoyed (short scenes fading to black). For 1930, the story was good but it was the acting that I thought was superior. The whole movie had an anti-war theme through the eyes of the Germans in WW1 which I thought was done rather well with an end cemetery scene to make all WW1 veterans cry. All this done in 1930, whew.Now, for the hotly contested part. I am not sure what drew me to this picture and made me love it. I thoroughly enjoyed it, but I bet some of you will walk away saying: "What? This thing sucked toilet water!" So, I can recommend it but watch it at your own risk.
Is the review positive or negative?
