I'm really a Film Nerd and I've watched many famous and less famous war movies, too. Until this Evening, the beach-sequene and the final of Saving Private Ryan was one of the most intense experiences I've seen on the big screen.
But what Berger and his teams show here is still incredible & and the most horryfying depiction of war I've ever seen before.
The violence makes you feel sick, there were really some moments I thought I have to leave the cinema. Shooting, Explosions, blood, cold, wetness, Tanks, flamethrowers and inhuman suffering. Meaningless suffering.
Yes, theire are some flaws in the Story, but Overall it works out fine. Music, acting and production design are phenomenal!
But the violience, I still can't believe it. Go watch - afterwards you'll definetley be pacifist.
8/10.
