This movie portrays to perfection the almost " banality " of war. How much war is just a waste of life and how much of it is just people scrambling and improvising to stay alive. I think this movie will be very powerful for the history buffs or those who had family who fought in the battle of France.
Definitely. A youth being corrupted through an unprecedented wave of violence. If this is what it takes to survive, then so be it. There is no heroism from the soldiers, outside of Farrier, just kids hanging onto life. The anonymity, both from the comrades and the enemy only adds to the brutal detachment war leads to. That very impersonal side of War has rarely been portrayed.
