Just watched "The Enemy Below" for the mumbleth time. Robert Mitchum and Kurt Jurgens. Highly recommended. Some good comments on the nature of war that actually work. Ultimately it's an anti-war movie by stealth. Lots of manly men manning about the place doing manly things in manly ways, but still managing to jerk an honest tear towards the end. Available for free on YouTube.

3 things about David Lean’s THE BRIDGE ON THE RIVER KWAI [1957]
1. Sitting alone on the edge of his bed, crying in shame.
2. “I haven’t the foggiest.”
3. He emerges from “the oven” with purple bruises covering his chest.
Philippe Noiret / Romy Schneider

3 things about John Boorman’s HELL IN THE PACIFIC [1968]
1. Devouring a raw fish.
2. Sand garden.
3. A discarded photograph of a young Japanese woman.
Be sure to watch the “alternate ending,” which was the director’s preferred one.
Childhood’s end: in the waning days of #WWII, seven schoolboys are conscripted by the German army. We watched THE BRIDGE (Bernhard Wicki, 1959). #YabtM #reviews #YouTube #movies #film #cinema #FilmMastodon #Cinemastodon #worldcinema #foreigncinema #Germany #WarMovies #WW2

Upon hearing the phrase “child soldier” you may picture something that happens far away, in the “third world.” Maybe picture this. Two new episodes of Yelling About Movies drop this Friday. #YabtM #reviews #YouTube #movies #film #cinema #CineMastodon #FilmMastodon #Germany #Denmark #worldcinema #foreigncinema #WarMovies #WW2 #WWII

NEW EPISODE
2012's 'Red Dawn' reboots the 80s cult classic. The Wolverines face off against the North Korean People’s Army which somehow invades America! Does the film hold a candle to its predecessor?

Our second Soviet film this week is THE ASCENT (1977). In the hands of director Larisa Shepitko, this tale of two partisan fighters captured by German soldiers takes on the aspect of a religious parable. #YabtM #reviews #YouTube #worldcinema #foreigncinema #warmovies #Russia #USSR #movies #film #cinema #FilmMastodon #Cinemastodon https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Zv-AQqG4F4
Yelling About Movies goes to the USSR this week with two Soviet-era films set during World War II. Bolstered by spectacular cinematography, THE CRANES ARE FLYING (1957, D. Mikhail Kalatozov) spends limited time on the front lines, focusing instead on the emotional devastation inflicted on those back home. CRANES was the only Soviet film to win the Palm d'Or at Cannes. Here's our discussion.

On first glance you might mistake KING RAT (1965) for a British production. English director Bryan Forbes surrounded topliner George Segal with a cast of British actors playing English and Australian POWs. Released by Columbia pictures and shot in exotic Sherman Oaks (doubling for Singapore)! #YabtM #reviews #YouTube #cinemastodon #movies #film #cinema #ww2 #WWII #warmovies https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KTaM0XdGAj0
Less than ten years after the end of WWII writer/director Billy Wilder was mining comedy—and drama—from the American POW experience. We watched STALAG 17 (1953). #YabtM #reviews #YouTube #cinemastodon #movies #film #cinema #ww2 #WWII #warmovies https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qbxpEbMZdds
Another under-appreciated movie: “Three Came Home” (1950) from 20th Century-Fox, starring Claudette Colbert, directed by Jean Negulesco.

Watching A Bridge Too Far, one of those all star cast war films we rarely get any more.
Connery! Caine! Redford! Caan! Hopkins! Olivier! O'Neal! Hackman! #Ullmann! Schell! Bogarde! Gould!
To name a few.
On December 20, 1989, Born on the Fourth of July debuted to a limited release in the United States and Canada. Here’s a sketch of Tom Cruise!
