| AlisLandale 08/12/17 5:38:40 PM #8: | I thought it was interesting. As for world building, the propoganda poster at the beginning was enough. We know the "good guys" are trapped and at the mercy of the Nazis. Seeing that, then the dash from enemy fire to the barricade tells you all you need to know about the setting and conflict. There are no "main characters", but there doesnt need to be. We follow a number of protagonists throughout the incident, and it helps paint a picture of the larger war effort. And seeing a few of them cross paths when they do is satisfying. Its not a traditional story structure, and it doesnt need to be. If anything, its a breath of fresh air to see a movie focus on one, particular aspect of a conflict the way it did. It fleshes out just how big and complex these conflicts are, instead of simplifying the entire thing behind one hero's journey or mission. That said, I just thought it was decent. But it was definitely not bad. --- Currently Binging: Ghost in the Shell - Stand Alone Complex http://i.imgtc.com/YQId2Bz.png ... Copied to Clipboard! |
