La grande illusion

...French film. Produced in 1937. A follow-up to Jean Renoir's The Lower Depths (1936). Starring Jean Gabin, Pierre Fresnay, and Erich von Stroheim. During World War I, French prisoners of war (a dying aristocrat, a banker who believes war will be repeated, and a worker who dreams of international solidarity) are captured by the German army and attempt to escape from the camp. The film depicts the camp life and class consciousness of French prisoners of war (a dying aristocrat, a banker who believes war will be repeated, and a worker who dreams of international solidarity) and human love that transcends national borders. It is a masterpiece of anti-war film that will remain in the history of cinema, denouncing the cruelty of war in which humans must kill each other not through superficial anti-war ideology or the cheap heroism of the prisoners, but from a sharp and intense humanitarian standpoint. ...
