A few days ago I watched Hart’s War, starring Colin Farrell, Bruce Willis, and Terrence Howard as American prisoners of war in a Nazi military camp. I am so tempted to watch it again even though I’m busy.
What a super engaging movie!
At first glance you’d think it’s just another story about WWII. It’s not. The script is brilliantly written and the movie skillfully directed. It doesn’t focus on action scenes much. It’s the very human story in it that’s so captivating.
- Honor
- Courage
- Racism
- Loyalty
- Dedication
- Sacrifice
You have to watch it. It has officially replaced Cinderella Man Last Samurai and made it into my list of the top 15 favorite American movies of all time (yes, yes, I know, I know. I actually have a list of favorites).
It’s been so long since the last time I watched a movie I enjoyed this much. It leaves a strong emotional impact on you.
Meanwhile my friend is bugging me to stop watching American propaganda. Whatever.
Hart’s War? Excellent movie. If you liked those, I predict you’ll like this one.

*adds to the list of movies to watch*
I still have hordes of Monty Python to watch, mind. And Seven Samurai.
As for this friend of yours, he is… somewhat amusing. A bit scary, but amusing.
Agreed, we bought this one. Have you seen ‘To End All Wars’? It wasn’t released in theatres, but it is the true story of a regiment of the Scottish Argyles in a Japanese internment camp in Burma (?)building the railroad made famous in Bridge over the River Kwai. Kiefer Sutherland stars. All those character qualities are evident, although there is some violence I close my eyes for.
Make sure you’ll watch this one too :
