Bombers and fighter planes and rockets and tanks are thrilling at that age when you are old enough to understand how they work but too young to understand what they do. There is something almost perverse in the way Boorman defines his point of view. He is not concerned in this film about the tragedy of war, or the meaning of war, but only with the specific experience of war for a grade-school boy. Drawing from his autobiographical memories, he has not given the little boy in the movie any more insights than such a little boy should have. When we are young, what happens is not nearly as important as what we think happens. Perhaps that's true even when we are not so young. Was this review helpful? Sign In 1-1 of 1 Per Page | ||
