This film is such a powerful, compassionate masterpiece on war.
I don’t know how many times I’ve seen it, but it always brings me to tears at the end.
It takes a relatively minor aspect of imperialist war and exposes it rigorously to the end, unfolding into a resonant expression of humanity.
(The Kubrick estate is very strict about using images—though I have used one before which I may take out—so I am using my ticket here…)
