Review of Overlord (1975) by Joseph S — 29 Jul 2008
Mixes archival footage of World War 2, with fictional story of a young man getting ready to go off to war. The archival footage, serves as the young man's thoughts and fears about going into battle. Scenes of air raids and bombings are spliced togeth...(read more) er with the scenes of sitting on the bus, bieng polite, and just doing normal everything things.
The film ends with D-Day, where our hero is among the first to storm the beach, the point where fact and fiction finally meet.
Strange, and bizzare miltary weapons you have never seen before(the rocket wheel???), the barbed wire removing vehicle, appear throghout as well as amazing ariel footage.
The most unique and effective "war" film ever seen. Like Ambrose Bierce's "An Occurrance At Owel Creek", for the WW2 generation.
