End-of-course film night at college. REVIEW End-of-course film night at college Every student might probably be looking forward to watching a captivating film at the end of the final semester. There are numerous genres to choose and I believe the ideal one would be war films. For this reason, I will consider two candidates: Der Untergang and The Great Escape. Der Untergang It is a historical war drama film which sets in the heart of the Nazi Germany at the end of the Second World War. It tells the story of the last days of Hiltler in his bunker. I think the director has succeeded in creating a film that is both believable and thoroughly engaging. In addition, the characters are true to life. However, the film has been unjustly eclipsed by other well-liked films, such as The Pianist. The Great Escape It is a epic war film which was a blockbuster when it was launched in cinemas. It recounts events in a German POW camp where numerous Bristish soldiers were stuck during the Second World War. To flee from there, they designed an astute plan and, eventually, they attained their goal. Futhermore, the soundtrack is superb and the cast is brilliant. It is considered as a classic in this day and age. My recommendation In summary, I would say that Der Untergang might be tedious to a youth public, who would be ignorant about the history of the twentieth century. The Great Escape, by contrast, would be more appealing to teenagers who want to have a great time at the end of the term, partly because it contains countless comical moments and its plot is more engaging.
