Reflections in no order ...
...very high production values, which means very high budget. Just enough action for "war movie" realism and horror without making action the focus.
...none of friends is nazis. One is Jewish. Makes for a story about moral decline and/or growth.
...much more to learn from stories of war "losers" than "winners" ... none of the saving the world for democracy stuff American audiences usually get.
...great script and acting, filled with delicious one-liners ... "we start out heroes and end up assholes."
...no cheap shots or sentimentality. Makes it hard to watch at times. H couldn't watch at all.
...Amer network shd pick this up. Americans need to see it. Our war movies are spoiled by patriotic mythology.
...I think this almost matches Homer and Shakespeare for a war epic!
