Intense, meaningful and surprisingly funny
Many powerful dramas have been made throughout the history of motion
pictures. This is one of few to combine intense meaningful drama with a
funny script, full of witty dialog. The ensemble of nothing but renowned
competent actors ensures excellent performances throughout the movie. This
would have been an almost perfect film if it wasn't for one little
consistency issue regarding Colonel Jessep. Until the very end of the
film,
the script portrays the events from Jessep's point of view with gruesome
accuracy, but after his confession he becomes a man with no apparent sense
of causal relations. The fact that the man who formerly went to such
extremes as to make entire flights disappear to protect his secret,
doesn't
understand the consequences of him confessing that secret, in the court of
law, makes me confused. Of course you could argue that the colonel lives
by
the rules and notions of the Marine Corps and doesn't fully comprehend the
world outside. I still don't accept it completely though, but that doesn't
matter much overall. This is an excellent film. Watch it, watch it again
and
then re-watch it. You won't be disappointed.
(9/10)
