Featured review
what this movie was trying to portray or to interpreted is completely beyond me to comprehend. the screenplay was one of the worst ones i've ever experienced, so hollow, so dreary, so pretentious and so nothing. what's the poetic beauty in it, like one reviewer claimed? a movie is not a abstract painting that you could have different interpretation you saw differently from the others.
the sound effect is extremely bad. why? those thundering noises we usually heard only in the sci-fi movies when the alien spaceships attacking the earth but they constantly appeared in this film, making me think those noises might have come from the German bombers invaded the airspace before dropping big bombs. there were several females in this dreary scenario, some local males showed up or disappeared. some battle-hardened German soldiers who fell for the two local young women...but wtf?! this film tried all the ingredients to be nostalgic, poetic, romantic, harsh, cold, cold blood, goodwill....everything that you could think about, but in the end only a BIG NADA. i've tried so hard to get a grip of this movie's deep meaning, tried to understand why it should be made, to tell about....WHAT? then, it suddenly turned into an abstract messy crap.
