Interesting idea, average film
Overall ‘Airborne Creed’ is a good film. It is beautifully shot and the main characters are quite convincing (contrary to the dialogues which often are not). All in all the story is fairly decent (although historically inaccurate, to say the least) but also very predictable; they could have got much more out of it. What makes the film average at best is firstly its Hollywoodesque usage of music. The soundtrack is “so heroic and mournful you can almost picture the tears running down the musician’s face” (Yahtzee); it forces emotions down the viewer’s throat rather than letting them experience themselves. Secondly, the potential of the film’s portrayal of good & evil was barely exploited. Why is it that in American films the heroes always die a slow, painful death, whereas for the enemy it is ‘one shot, one kill’? It is really not necessary to refuse giving the enemy a face to make the audience understand who/what is good or evil; after all, the story of ‘Airborne Creed’ clearly shows that the makers were thinking further than this black/white image and striving to add some shades of grey to it. It is a shame they dared not follow this insight consistently.
So Much Potential
I rated this movie higher than its average. The film had problems but the story isn’t one of them. It is a good story, worth seeing. The problem is the pace. I’m not sure if it is in the direction or the editing but probably both. But it is just slow, plodding and disjointed. It succeeds though on some level due it’s themes of forgiveness and redemption and also via outstanding performances by Corbin Allred as Rossi and Lincoln Hoppe as the German officer Erich Neumann. It is worth watching but frustrating because it could have been significantly more interesting.
