Another great war movie is the one on the Finnish-Russian war, at the moment the name of it escapes me, I believe it was done the same people who did Stalingrad.

T.O.M.

I agree, Taegukgi really is a punch in the nose of a film. Also, Stalingrad, another German film is an absolutely brilliant antiwar film. It leaves you feeling as desolate as the landscape it is filmed in.  The film captures the enthusiasm of a rested German battalion with high morale looking forward to their next conquest with enthusiasm. Allows you to get to know all the main characters and then follows them through a murderous, pointless campaign as they are chewed up and spat out by the indifference/incompetence of the whims of Germany's chief nutcase and the Russian weather and t-34's. The end really does leave you wondering what the hell it was all for. Not OT though. There is a great low budget British film called The Trench starring a future James Bond- Daniel Craig which is an account of a group of Tommies getting ready for The Somme. Again the ending is, well, we all know how that day went, not a happy ending.   Nick.

If you wanted realistic carnage then get the directors and producers of Taegukgi, which in my books is the best anti-war film ever made. This was a definately no holds-barred look at the Korean War. the trench warfare seen is paticularly brutal with its hand-to-hand fighting and the way in which all, friends and foe alike, ended up killing each other. I think it was called Tae Guk Gi: The Brotherhood of War in the US.
