In Reply to: Stalag 17 - The swrongest contestand for the worse, the most offensive, the most brainless piece of shit that I have seen in decades posted by Victor Khomenko on April 18, 2000 at 07:28:08:
Good to see someone more p*ssed off about a movie than me around here. Should I ask where you stand on Hogan's Heroes.......?Costuming gaffes aside, Stalag 17 was about a POW camp, not a concentration camp - from what I've read, I don't think conditions were as bad for POWs as they were for people sent to the ghettos (though I'm sure it was no picnic). Were conditions for POWs actually as bad as those in forced labor camps?
A director once said that even anti-war films by nature glorify war? (I want to say Lewis Milestone who directed All Quiet on the Western Front but I think it was someone else). I would say that every war film I have ever seen fits that description to one degree or another. The only exception is the 9-1/2 hour documentary Shoah by Claude Lanzmann - a horrifying first-hand account of conditions by survivors of the camps.
