For Conscience' Sake



A good movie, I enjoyed it.

I rewatched it the other day out of boredom and realized that it's not something you'd want to watch again. Besides, I realized two more things: if it weren't for the vividly filmed firefights, it would be much more depressing, losing a few points. And that the main actor is a complete nobody, a loser, who walks around with the same detached, idiotic expression on his face throughout the film, including the moments where he's supposed to be experiencing some kind of emotional turmoil, which can't even be excused by his plot-justified spirituality. And the fact that he runs around the battlefield for three days, crawls in the mud, puts on and takes off his helmet, and still manages to keep his hair perfectly styled with gel is just embarrassing. Perhaps the Japanese were the only well-portrayed element, and the episodic appearances of the father and the bride were also decent.
