Summary: (via www.imdb.com)
"In post-World War II Denmark,
a group of young German POWs
are forced to clear a beach of
thousands of land mines under
the watch of a Danish Sergeant
who slowly learns to appreciate
their plight."
My Comments:
Very well made: acting, direction and
cinematography. Unnerving statement
about humanity. Definitely anti-war,
but is it only the act of war that is
the problem or is it because even after
the war is over, it brings out the worst
part of human vindication for anger and
vengance. Again, I hope I can act better
when I am faced with the same challenge.
