Acerca de esta película

Bernhard Wicki’s astonishing The Bridge was the first major antiwar film to come out of Germany after World War II, as well as the nation’s first postwar film to be widely shown internationally, even securing an Oscar nomination. Set near the end of the conflict, it follows a group of teenage boys in a small town as they contend with everyday matters like school, girls, and parents, before enlisting as soldiers and being forced to defend their home turf in a confused, terrifying battle. This expressively shot, emotionally bruising drama dared to humanize young German soldiers at a historically tender moment, and proved influential for the coming generation of New German Cinema auteurs.

"Wolf Packs" of underground, partisan, resistance fighters would have carried on the fight - IF Hitler wasn't removed, and would have wasted these young mens lives!

Excellent message.......Great movie, in the ranks of Paths of Glory -but way less polished.

One of the best movie I ever watched...
