Whatever

Yeah, I read a review somewhere.

So a soldier is carrying an important message to try to stop a doomed attack.
Phone lines to higher headquarters are severed.
The movie is all about that extremely hazardous mission, in one long take.
Lots of shit flying around (machine gun bullets, artillery).
Blood and guts, of course.

I dunno, kinda pointless, like that war.
Unless you want to see one common man's terror and determination.
Wanna sit through that for a couple hours?
But surely we know that already.
They endured trench warfare for years. Hard to fathom how.

Just something I don't care to watch.

Imagine, if you will...
You're told to dig a hole in a muddy field.
There's guys taking pot shots at you every so often, so you gotta keep your head down.
Random explosions continuously.
Every now and then you gotta get out and try to kill other guys in holes across the way.
Or they come for you.
Misery that goes on for months...years.

The Generals of that war have a lot to answer for.

 

Sounds like an interesting movie, but nothing i'd care to experience.

 

The point of it was, the guy that was sent to inform of the troops not to attack, was the brother of one of them. He and his chosen person, who didnt want to go, had to run half way across France it seemed and if I remember rightly, they went ahead and attacked anyway and the kid that had the brother died along the way cause he was stupid, trying to show a German pilot some compassion after he just got shot down in a dog fight.

 

Wow, seriously?
That's something.

 

You know, the details don't make it seem any less pointless.
Maybe it's just me.

 

I tried last week in my truck and it wasn't free, but like 5 bucks a month.

Like I said, I didn't care for it. It was slow, boring and pointless

 

App on phone only.

 

Going to check out and watch Ronny Cheing's Netflix standup special, again. Highly recommend it.

 

He's funny

 

I'm searching for a word.
Futility?

Sounds profoundly depressing.
Like I said in my edit, the generals of that war have a lot to answer for.

 

Nope, not I.

 

Any love for The Bridge on The River Kwai? Its a classic

 

C'mon Riggs!

 

A great movie.

 

This was a decent one as well. Different perspectives.

Alec Guinness practically has that japanese colonel working for him by the end of the movie

 

Favorite quote:

He's barbecuing his nuts on Hollywood Boulevard."
