Review of Fires on the Plain (2015) by Casey B — 23 Nov 2007
[i][b]Rescue Dawn [/b][/i]>> Feels like it could have been made twenty years ago. Not sure if that's a good or a bad thing. In a bad way, it seems as though this story has been told before. The main characters make this story worth the journey.
[i]Recommended rental for most film-goers, unless they need relentless action or comedy.[/i].
[i][b]Nobi (Fires on the Plain)[/b][/i] >> One of the best war movies I've seen so far. Shows the viewers the ugly side of war and how it tears up these Japanese soldiers both physically and mentally. It's not about defeating the enemy; it's about wanting it all to be over.
[i]Recommended for foreign/classic movie fans.[/i].
Both these films are carried not by the fast paced action of war but by the characters' struggles through survival, starvation, and violence.
