• Resumen

  • King Vidor took on the subject of war in only two of his films and even so both became examples of the finest and most lucid films of the genre. Both pictures tell stories of disillusion, felt when war was still thought to be an act of courage, glory and devotion. Vidor does not attempt to deliver pacifisctic declarations, but rather to demonstrate the impact of war on human lives, and for this very reason the antiwar message in his films is all the more powerful.
