DVD Reviews of The Fallen
DVD Review: A "goal" to far ???
Summary: 2 Stars
First of all I'm from the Netherlands wich sets me in a different perpective than the American viewer. Holland was invaded during WW2 and a lot of hatred toward the former "enemy" still excists. Second I'm a re-enactor portraying a common german soldier of the Wehrmacht. As an re-enactor I tend to look different to warmovies than the average viewer. I can see the difference between early and late type uniforms both German and Allied. I know what kind of material was used during the different stages of the war both German and Allied. This film tries very hard to show the real "life" of the common soldier during this war. Occasionnaly it succeeds in this effort, but on the other hand it sometimes misses the point. The fighting between the German and Italian soldiers should be explained. Not very much people know that the Germans concidered the Italians as second rate troops. The scenes between the German and Italian officer could be used to enlighten this but they fail to do so. The very last scene is a bit of a dissapointment, all that smoke coming from the Lieutenants uniform when he collapses after beeing shot. Its not realistic. Some of the scenes are just there and there is no beginning and no end. I miss the point completely why they are there. The scene with the American scoutcar is such a scene. What trhe heck were those Italian machinegunners thinking when they openend up fire on that thing. Why did,nt they send for help? Also the scene with the German halftrack is one big questionmark. The scene with the attack on the convoy is terrible. I've never seen that many factoryfresh, clean and undamaged vehicles without dust or bulletmarks during that stage of the war. One moment you see a gang of awkward Italian bandits plundering this convoy the other moment, out of nowhere the might of the German Army pops up and there is not a shot fired. Hardly the common German tactic when they encountered a group of Partisans who just massacerd a friendly convoy. In the real war they would have shoot first and ask the questions later. I also fail to see why it took so many years to "shoot" this film. My opinion about the film is that the makers tried to make a movie that has a mix of "Saving Private Ryan" and "Cross of Iron" but they somehow lose it in amateuristic filming. I know it was a low budget film and it has a different style of showing things and I can tell the makers put in a lot of efford to show the life of a common soldier but it sadly turns out to be a victim of that same low budget.
