Title: A Powerful, Progressive Gem
Review: Though there is some HIGHLY questionable acting and direction during the first half hour, this is one of the most overlooked war gems in cinema history. This is the kind of movie the phrase "ahead of its time" was coined for. There are no heroes, no glamorous battles, no triumphant fanfare. Wilde doesn't portray one side as "good" and the other as "bad" - both the Americans and the Japanese are depicted as multi-dimensional, relatable human beings forced to kill each other by circumstance. Dismemberment. Bayoneting. A lot of quick, cold, meaningless death. Men becoming sadistic animals. This film casts a critical eye on the nature of war and makes the audience see the absurdity and tragedy of it all - a remarkable, courageous feat for a film made in 1967. This is groundbreaking, powerful stuff.
