War

Perhaps you'll agree that war films are often used as 'flag-waving' propaganda to inspire national pride and morale, and to display the nobility of one's own forces while harshly displaying and criticizing the villainy of the enemy, especially during war or in post-war periods. So far it is no use to judge them objectively. More often than not such films are revisionistic, politically-correct and historically inaccurate redefining the facts. A number of war films are actually historical epics, authentic attempts to recreate the experience of war on screen, rather than pure war films. Anyway war films, often called anti-war films, acknowledge the horror and heartbreak of war bringing to the viewer the pain of all have happened in our history. Themes explored in war films include combat, survivor and escape stories, tales of gallant sacrifice and struggle, personal heroism, studies of the futility and inhumanity of battle, the effects of war on society, and intelligent and profound explorations of the moral and human issues. Definitely no other film genre will make you think so much because in every movie you'll have to answer a question of life and death.
