Oh What a Lovely War (DVD, 2006, Special Collectors Edition)

Über dieses Produkt

Product Information

Legendary British director Sir Richard Attenborough (GANDHI, CRY FREEDOM) made his directorial debut with the scathingly satirical antiwar musical OH! WHAT A LOVELY WAR. Based on Joan Littlewood's 1963 stage play, the film reimagines the tragic conflagration of World War I as a macabre amusement park in which ghastly images of war's futility--such as generals playing leapfrog on the battlefield while their soldiers die around them--are set to farcical musical numbers like "The Bells of Hell" and "Hanging on the Old Barbed Wire." Attenborough assembled a virtual who's-who of iconic British thespians--including Dirk Bogarde, John Gielgud, Laurence Olivier, Michael Redgrave, Ralph Richardson, and Maggie Smith--to enact the masterful pacifist diatribe that was seen as a thinly veiled commentary on the Vietnam War at the time of its 1969 premiere--and remains just as timely and relevant at its 2006 re-release.

Perfect title
War is hell for the soldiers at the front while the high officer corps drink and cavort putting medals on themselves for the blood and guts suffered by their men. This is especially true of the British officers which the movie depicts perfectly. The "Huns" stated in that war that the British army is composed of lions being led by donkeys.
