a strange movie

The Mutiny of the Kane Ship is the weirdest movie I've ever seen.
I can't rate it, but think it's worth a look.

At the beginning of the movie, I thought it was a war movie, but there was no war.
Then I thought it was a love movie, but it turned out that love was just embellishment.
Bogart came in when I was fairly certain that this movie about how American heroes grew up was going to drop.
I admit that Bogart's acting completely deceived me, just as it deceived the officers in the movie.
Then as his paranoia gradually emerged, the film took on a bit of suspense again.
When I saw the courtroom scene I was pretty sure it was the climax of the whole show.
But the next scene is the heart of the story.

I think it's a moral anxiety war movie.
When I checked the imdb number, I found out that it was adapted from Walker's Pulitzer Prize-winning novel. Walker, the guy who wrote about the war situation.
Looking at Walker's own experience, I think he is the intelligence officer who wrote the novel.

How should I put it, I just think that their moral standards are too high, and at that time, I can't even celebrate for clearing their own injustice - because Bogart, he played too successfully.
