War Film

The fateful nature of battle scenes means that war films often end with them. Themes explored include combat, survival and escape, camaraderie between soldiers, sacrifice, the futility and inhumanity of battle, the effects of war on society, and the moral and human issues raised by war. War films are often categorized by their milieu, such as the Korean War; the most popular subject is the Second World War. The stories told may be fiction, historical drama, or biographical.

Subgenres, not necessarily distinct, includ ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
