Title: Sensitive WWII film where we can identify with all the characters
Review: Ari Taub's film shows World War II in the eyes of American, German and Italian soldiers all pitted against each other on the Gothic Line. One gets to feel compassion for all these young men who are in the wrong place at the wrong time. We have the Americans who have come to liberate Italy from its German occupiers. The Germans are faced with certain defeat but we get to meet some interesting and caring characters who in a peace time situation might become very close friends. The film does not have any really big battle scenes on special effects, so if anyone is expecting this, they will be disappointed but the realism and attention to detail and characters is really good.Mr. Taub finds a unique way to show the futility of war.
