The first great War Movie
The first movie that embraced a new realism and honesty. It used the framework of War to explore human psychology, and pointed the way for all the movies to come that studied human nature under extreme stress. War, more than any other catalyst reveals human nature, whether it be misplaced honor, the psychological unraveling of defeat on the human psyche, the clash of different cultures, The military mind set, and the new American mind. The War as well as the bridge are just a framework, nothing more to examine the human the defense mechanisms of the human mind.
