Episode 137: Anti (?) War Movies

from Did You Do Your Homework? | A Pop Culture Podcast · host Did You Do Your Homework? | A Pop Culture Podcast

François Truffaut famously said in an interview with Gene Siskel that "I don't think I've really seen an antiwar film. Every film about war ends up being pro-war." What does it mean for a film to be "anti-war?" Is it true that to enshrine something to film is to ennoble it? We dig into the idea of anti-war cinema with the new adaptation of All Quiet on the Western Front (2022, dir. Edward Berger) and the perennial classic Apocalypse Now (1979, dir. Francis Ford Coppola).
