Movie Review: A Distant Bridge
Dee 2022-03-23 09:02:11
A relatively rare World War II film depicting the defeat of the Allies. One of the biggest problems of this type of films depicting war in a holistic manner is that it is difficult to grasp the proportion of scenes between the big battlefield and the small individuals, resulting in fragmentation. The same is true of this film, so there are a lot of movie stars, but the performance does not leave any impression. It is impossible to see such films with large investment, difficult performances, and not necessarily good box office. . .
