After watching three European war movies, this film feels very Hollywood-esque, with the characters’ behaviors glorified. Even the battle scenes seemed overly impossible and exaggerated. Despite all this, the reality of warfare still resonated. U.S. soldiers were fighting against SS children and merciless German soldiers. In response, the U.S. soldiers had to fight back mercilessly, without sympathy. Some of the lines Brad Pitt delivered reveal the dark reality and burden of being a soldier, even as the war was nearing its end, because these Nazis were determined to fight to their deaths. In the end, this is a war movie, and the sad tone is inevitable.
