A Bridge too Far
Dir: Richard Attenborough
1977
*****
Behind this all-star-cast, big budget War film is very important message. Wars are won by Bravery, by sacrifice, by good planning and sometimes by luck but when someone decides to play war, people die. It's the boldest anti-war war film of all time. It show the mistakes made by the deluded Generals who would sooner let many die then to loose face, the pointlessness of war and the exploitation of those who end up suffering the most. It's also a bloody good war film that correctly depicts the brave solders who fought for us. Richard Attenborough tells the story as it should be told with the greatest of respect and well done to him for that.
