Review of Battleground (1949) by Les E — 28 Sep 2013
This movie was good in the aspect of depicting life as an American soldier in Europe during World War II. Particularly taking into account the time the movie was released, the US was filled with heavy propaganda, so to depict soldiers who were not entirely happy to be where they were, and not at all times for the cause is historically significant.
The cinematography, for which it won an award for, is well done, again taking into account the time period. As for the story itself, however, I did not enjoy it. These older war movies all seem very similar to each other.
I found myself uninterested a lot of times. There seemed to be no clear cut storyline, where you wondered what would happen next. It was basically clips of military camps and battles; which is indeed what it is to be a soldier, but it doesn't make for a very good story.
