The movie basically thrived under the Germans aggressiveness throughout the film. The Italians were simply no match for them. They were running and hiding almost the entire film. From woods, to churches, to the middle of the street. And everywhere they went the Germans followed and blew everything to pieces. This was a little fake it seemed and the Germans seemed almost too filled with hate and anger that it almost didnt seem to have a motive? Maybe this is just what I think.
I think some of the German's actions did seem a little over-exaggerated, but because I don't have a wide understanding of war history, I can't be too sure. What I do know is that nobody really liked the Germans, and they're always portrayed as the bad guys.They were cruel enough to execute the Holocaust, so why not kill a bunch of Italians in a wheat field?
ReplyDeleteI agree that the father and son deserved what they got. Though the father may have dragged his son into the war, the son really wanted to be there. He enjoyed fighting and using his youth to deceive other people.
