The early '70s, when I was a young teenager, movies like this had such a big impact on me. Movies of such human strugle, in foreign countries. Patton is another movie like this that comes to mind. Just amazing.
sharePatton didn't have any struggles. He was a loudmouthed wealthy prima donna showoff bent on making history. No growth there, although he was forced into humility.
shareI was in my late teens when i watched this great movie, I'm almost 50 now and I watched it again yesterday and I have a feeling that via this film I met my teenager self!
I loved this movie when I was a teenager and I loved this film yesterday too, exactly in the same proportion!
The film kind of felt like a bridge where my two selves met face to face after three decades! I tremendously enjoyed the meeting, thanks to this all time great movie!
What was it about this movie? It has stuck with me all these years! I can remember exactly how I felt that day watching it.I must have really been paying attention that day,every detail of this movie is ingrained in my memory.
