I just finished watching my favorite Anti-War movie the

King of Hearts.......

the last scene is a duzy....

1. That is my absolute favorite movie!

I've never met anyone else who's seen it. It's just such a brilliant film. Even the trilingual subtitles are hilarious.

2. Is that the one with Alan Bates?

[Kutjara]

3. That's the one.

4. I've seen it! But it was about 20 years ago.

Probably need to see it again in context of current times.

5. You must! You must!

It really points out the absurdity of the whole enterprise of war, in an amazingly heartwarming way. I don't know any other film that makes me feel both uplifted and depressed at the same time.

6. Great movie

7. good choice . . . but I think the best anti-war movie may be . . .

Johnny Got His Gun (1971)

Plot Synopsis: A young American soldier, hit by a shell on the last day of the First World War, lies in a hospital bed, a quadruple amputee who has lost his eyes, ears, mouth and nose. He remains conscious, and able to reason, and tries to communicate to his doctors his wish that he be put on show in a carnival as a demonstration of the horrors of war.

based on the Dalton Trumbo book of the same title . . .

10. Except that in the book by the great Dalton Trumbo...

What the soldier attempts to communicate is an even more depressing (and unsurprising) message.
