for starter and i once meet the director when he be go to ww2 re enactment with a period movie camera and make video of the event which look darn good . i really wish he would keep that up . because as much a i applaud what he accomplish on a clearly next to nothing budget and when i pop out the dvd and i just wonder why i sit through almost two hour of nothing . there no real plot to speak of and you do not really care what happen to the character ( maybe the italian troop and some of the german ) and and the end be yet another art film commentary on the futility of war . i could have tell someone how it would end once i get through the first ten minute . i know the german would have a few heroically volunteer to fight to the death and i know most of the quartmaster gi would be kill and it be just too darned obvious . and while i be on the subject and i be shock to see so much of the axis side do well and yet the gi side do comically . all the character development be clearly for non english speaking role . the gi simply get shaft hard in this film . and i can not help but wonder if they even have someone on the set who understand how the u army work . the phrase and terminology and action and be clearly write by someone with no knowledge of the american military at all . have i now know who have direct this film and i would have swear it be direct and write by a german .
