I have mixed feelings about it so I rate it 6/10. I’d like to hear your opinions on this movie

    i will guess that the lack of a debate within the film about the nature and reasons of this war, its like the war in vietnam fell out of the sky and that is just the way it is, no questions asked about us foreign policy and imperialistic practices.

    so it fits the great long tradition of usian movies of showing that they were dumping bombs on a poor country, but really sad while doing it.

      Sorta a shoot and cry thing, I get you. I guess I just assume Kubrick thinks US foreign policy is the work of bloodthirsry morons after Dr. Strangelove, but you’re right the characters don’t question the war really. Fair point.
