"Flame and Citron" and Other War Movies

Summer time, we were usually treated with crappy blockbuster movies. However, this summer is rather different. I just saw an outstanding Danish war-time movie "Flammen & Citronen" which depict the demoralizing effect of war on human kind, particularly on those so called good guys. Watching it was a tense and somber experience but richly rewarding.

The other war-time movies in my radar are "Inglourious Basterds" and "Anonyma - Eine Frau in Berlin (A Woman in Berlin)". Stretching further, we'll have "District 9" which again, shows the effect of war, its absurdity and cruelty and the resilience of men.
