Sorry, this movie sucks

Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,

The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

Obvious this film does not have the budget of the Hollywood blockbusters but then that is not what you should watch this film for. It is amaturish but l feel that added somehow to the story. If you cannot take amature movies do not watch it,It is about a soldier in the Waffen SS and his story but with a twist at the end. If you can become the soldier and feel the story, then the movie is a good watch. It does leave you thinking. Hard to say more without a spoiler. Lastly, the voice overs could have been a lot better also but just grin and use your imagination. If you have no imagination and need everything fed to you, then watch Saving Private Ryan or something similar...

I've watched most English speaking+ WW2 movies and divide them into 4 ages: flag waiving pro war, dippy hippy bad soldier, let me show you my special effects "gag modern" and war as "I" see it modern. This latest class can get stupidly inaccurate in its own personal way but this is a very good movie. The military hardware is reasonable in representation. The personal styles for period accuracy is very lacking but not ridicules. Battle landscape has enough back ground action in sometimes overgrown settings. That said; it has a great story of shared guilt although I find it hard to believe so few knew of the camp system. It starts out that this is not a political story and yet I feel that is exactly what it is. This is the regular people caught up in bad politics of the day. Most love their people and their countries but bad politics is a universal problem throughout history. Evil politicians causing major problems is as alive today as it was back then.

More of a 8 or 9 but I rated it a 10 to counter balance the uber PC voters.It seems that a lot of reviewers have a hard time with this movie because it doesn't have a clear cut good vs. bad story. Sorry, if that is what you were looking for, watch Star Wars. Good vs. Bad only truly exists in the fictional world.Most soldiers from the various armies were simply doing their best to survive. All sides committed horrendous atrocities and that is what this movie tries to get across to its audience. If you don't agree, do a google search for the "bombing of Dresden", "Rape of Nanking", "Bombing of Nagasaki", etc.... There are no good guysThat said, I started this movie expecting to waste a couple of hours on another stupid war flick. About 20 minutes into the movie, I was sure I was wasting my time. But slowly the movie drew me in making it clear how the soldiers on the front felt. Depression, hopelessness and loneliness. The director is able to turn your emotions if you give him time.In addition, the uniforms, equipment and historical timeline were are accurate which isn't common in most war movies anymore.Both depressing and worth watching.

The premise of this film is that Allied murder of captured SS men in the field is equivalent to the mass murder of ten million civilians by the German war machine -- civilians most of whom were not caught in the field of combat. For good measure, the dropping of the atom bombs is also brought in to heighten the equivalence -- as if millions more Japanese civilians would not have died in an invasion aimed at dislodging a murderous regime that killed thirty or forty million Chines, Koreans and others outside the theater of combat. The message is that the SS are to admired for fighting for their country, as though that is a virtue in and of itself, regardless of the circumstances and the country they were fighting for.It is astounding that this revisionist tripe was made, much less that it received theatrical release.Not to mention that the film is badly, mawkishly, tritely made, poorly shot and indifferently acted.
