Cass' Library Staff Pick:
This truly incredible World War II film opens in 1945 with five men and a boy (who who leaves a man). Brad Pitt stars in this story leading a Sherman tank into the heart of Nazi Germany. For the sake of their country, each of these men demonstrate remarkable bravery in the face of tremendous odds. What struck me most about this violent, bittersweet, and yet beautiful movie, were the bonds formed between the men, and just how far they were willing to go for the stranger who sat beside them. They also displayed compassion in response to the horrible face of war.
