Negative Positive
Title: the most overpowering piece of cinema I have ever seen
Review: A FRIEND OF MINE,CHANCING UPON THE FILM AT THE SCENE OF THE POST-MORTEM INTO THE ANTHILL ATTACK,UPON HEARING THE LINES OF GENERALS BROULARD AND MIREAU,INQUIRED AS TO WHETHER THE FILM WAS SUPPOSED TO BE A COMEDY.IF ONE FILM PRELUDES "DR STRANGELOVE" AS NIGHTMARE COMEDY,THIS IS IT.BE IT THE POMPOUS GAIT OF GEORGE MCCREADY AS HE IS SERENADED BY ADOLPHE MENJOU,WAYNE MORRIS'S SNIDE GLANCES BACK AND FORTH BETWEEN CORPORAL PARRIS AND PRIVATE LEJEUNE,TO THE CREMEE DE LA CREME,RICHARD ANDERSON'S HISTRIONICS AT HIS SUMMING-UP,ONE IS TEMPTED TO DOUBLE UP IN LAUGHTER AND CALL IT A FARCE WERE IT NOT FOR THE ATTACK SCENES AND THE FINAL EPIPHANY,AS POTENT AS ANY PENNED BY JOYCE.SEE THIS FILM,SEE IT AGAIN,AND AGAIN.
Is the review positive or negative?
