Review of Military Intelligence and You! (2006) by Ben G — 14 Feb 2008

Quite a good comedy. Nothing ground breaking but the satire hits the nail a few time. True enough, the next generation will have no idea why a bunch of filmmakers could have feel the urge to share their thoughts on military intelligence but then again one doesn't need to equal Molière every times one takes a camera.

The WWII spoof propaganda is quite skillfully integrated into the real stuff to create a rather thrilling war story, where the joke never overpowers the logic of the fiction. The tone of that type of movies is fairly well respected.

Besides, the film is not a blind attack on America as such, it acts more like a positive criticism (both the hypocrisy of the 1940s racist country fighting for freedom and the naughties power spreading war thoughtlessly).

Overall I enjoyed it a lot and I'd recommend it both for WWII era movies enthusiasts as politically conscious cinephiles.
