The movie is old. I must write this in the first lines of the review because I do watch old movies, even mute ones and enjoy them, but I know a lot of people are put off by "old style" acting, lack of color or "different" sound. So much as not to be able to enjoy the story (which is a pity). For me this was not a problem, but be prepared.
If you get over that, this is one of the most powerful, heavy, crushing movies about war I have ever seen and I have seen my share of movies about the harshness of war in Europe, Asia from most wars recent or old. As powerful as this movie and the scenes are, it left me with a bad taste in my mouth. How is it possible people went to a war, a terrible one, those who did not see real blood could have watched this, and they happily went to an even bigger was not later than 10 years after this?
A must watch.
