HANGMEN ALSO DIE! DVD AND BLU-RAY REVIEW
08:46:00
Good Morning Lovelies,
Recently I have been watching a lot of wartime classics. I
think it is because of the amount of time I have spent with my grandad in the
recent weeks. There so I was happy to view the classic film, Hangmen Also Die!
Created during the war, the film was made by four German
exiles, who wrote a film that focuses on the lives of those in a town. The film
sees a man murdered and a whole town being palced on lock down to protect them
from the evils that they are faced with.
The film is a clever mixture of looking at how the times
influence the work of others. There are continuous metaphors throughout that
lead you to think about what each scene could really mean.
You want to know as an audience member what was going
through the actors playing the characters
minds as they made the film and the people behind the scenes too.
However unlike some classics this film does drag in places.
There is a lot of stuff that has been added but is really not needed in the
story. Not much of it benefits the viewer and so it can become very slow to
follow.
And because of this I am giving the film…
3 Stars
