ESSIE SPEAKS OF WAR

I want to get one thing clear from the start : I think war is horrifying. I am a pacifist in every sense of the word you can think of and therefore it may seem odd that I have chosen to do a slot on war films.
Well, first and foremost, one mustn't forget that although some war films are all about the action, blood and gore, many speak of the tragedy of war and make us think about the deeper stuff as well. I have tried to reflect this in my choice of films for the week, be it political, ethical or simply personal tales of war...

happy viewing!
