Cross of Iron
review
Synopsis
During World War II, in 1943, when Germany was beginning to lose the battle, the Russian front was set. Set in a company in the German army, Peckinpah's masterpiece depicts the feud between a humane corporal and a cold-hearted company commander, and the murky human situation surrounding the award of the Iron Cross, considered the highest honor. The scene of people covered in mud and blood violently killing each other in the midst of flying shells stands out among all the war movies of all time. The “laughter” at the end leaves a strong impact.
