i surely like the name of this movie.this movie has to have the most preposterous (i don't know how to spell this word, i didn't expect to have an occasion to use it) story lines. no, i'm sure there are worse, but this is up there.
i hate movies that the whole beginning and middle is to build to a type of climax. the only one i liked like that was the one with the meteorite hitting the sea, and the subsequent tital wave.
but i walked out of jurrasic park ten minutes into the movie, and i've shut many a movie off that is this style. i don't know who invented that type of genre, but i'm not a fan of it. but saying it, perhaps there was a great movie from the past in this type of genre.
i guess the person who made this movie really fears bureaucracies. i know they're bad, but the movie is almost about a bureaucracy going out of control and only humanism can save the day.
and i don't know where hollywood will did up future 'heroes', but it neve seems to run out of them........ and believe me, it gets a little tiring after a while.
the movie has some charm. fairly nice cinematography, but the sub kicks off too often, overuse of the sub by this movie. it's got some patriotism. i would give it 2 out of 4 stars.
recommended only over watching non-educational tv. please hollywood, wake me up in twenty years!!
Follow Ups:
Hart's War - The entire movie is all about building to some amazing climax.Hart gets busted by the germans and is thrown in a POW camp - which as we well know from movies like Victory and the Great Escape means that there is going to be some tremendous climax with a lot of fun on the way that makes the whole movie worth it.
So we start building towards some kind of climax - building . building .. but we don't know what it is yet . . some sort of legal trial is involved . . but we don't know why this is so important . . building . . building . . the legal trial is looking more and more retarded and we begin to hope that this isn't the big surpise/climax that we've been waiting for . . building .. building. Ok, we have a few betrayals and something isn't quite what it seems, but there's none of the fun and no Steve McQueen to keep us entertained while we wait. Building . . building . . still don't know what the big freakin secret is and we start thinking about how we hate movies and tv shows that wait until the last 2 minutes to explain everybody's motivation for doing what they did .. because we're starting to hate every single character for acting like idiots. And then . . and then . . the the big secret/climax that we've been waiting for! And it's completely stupid. And they thought they'd be clever by waiting until the last 5 minutes to show us this stupid secret climax. I went back and replayed the last 5 minutes, hoping to hear some off-camera gunshots of a mass slaughter and/or suicide of all the characters that wasted my time. No luck.
Argh.
The first 10 minutes were pretty good though.
At least I also had DVDs of The Young Ones and the Traffik BBC miniseries. Both of which are great and make up for Hart's War.
