What starts out seeming semi-uninteresting and bland turns into what is a solid war flick. Considering the proximity to the year in which it took place I was pretty impressed with this movie.

Distinguishes itself by focusing on how the soldiers experience the war and less on action or delivering an anti-/pro-war message.

Battleground succeeds in delivering the feelings of desparation among the soliders of he 101st at Bastogne.

Battleground is certainly not the greatest war movie ever made but it does manage to capture both the mundane aspects of war and its horrors at the same time. Its approach to treating its characters as complex humans and not just paragons of American virtue is commendable for being made so soon after the war was over.

What begins like Beetle Bailey - The Movie soon turns into a near brilliant war movie.

Gotta be a big influence on Spielberg's WWII work.

In the day and age of Band of Brothers, an old movie where the wounded fall of out shot just seems silly.

Well shot, directed and edited war film that suffers from typical cliches and contrivances that plagued early films of the genre. James Whitmore's oscar nod is baffling as he is hardly in the film and doesn't have much to do.

This is a war movie that centers on the soldiers and their hardships instead of the action. Not everyone is brave, or their deaths heroic. It still felt genuine, even if the battle scenes were lacking.

Há 70 anos estreava em Washington. Wellman JAMAIS desaponta, mas a batalha do cerco de Bastogne é um dos meus episódios favoritos de Band of Brothers e continua o melhor momento daquele pedaço de história. Plus: Gostaria que e o filme tivesse sido chamado de The Battered Bastards of Bastogne como aquela companhia era chamada, mas suponho que esse tipo de nome só se tornaria chamativo para o cinema nas décadas seguintes. BlurayRip RARBG.

Refreshingly grounded and realistic compared to many of it's propaganda-heavy contemporaries, this could easily be seen as a blueprint for projects like Saving Private Ryan/Band of Brothers. Perhaps not as shocking or eye-opening for modern audiences, but definitely a bold statement at its time of release. Pair with a film like Best Years of Our Lives for a sobering look at the emotional artistic expressions of the people who lived through this stuff, and the trauma they carried because of it.

I love war films - so this is a real disappointment.

Pretty open, but it could be less saccharine. Stalag 17 was only four years after this. However, the Korean War does make up that space. Marking this for a rewatch.

Battleground (1949) delivers all the tropes of combat pictures you'd want, but not this complete experience I had hoped it was going to bring. It definitely intensifies, and overall the characters does bring a lot of life to this battle film. Somehow I wish it was going to be more focused, but they still provide damn solid war experience.
