Iconic, and Old, but still great... War still sucks.... especially for kids
This is Spielberg's attempt at cinematography as the primary objective. This film is a visual work of art and you are swept along from beginning to end. Yes, the tale lingers too long in spots and you never know what's going to happen next. But, if you're willing to give up the expected and trivial for lush visual images and interesting showcases of character, you'll see that here. I can't imagine coming of age in the middle of a war, but this movie lets me experience it even if I don't want to and it's still artistic. They say that a ton of great art comes from great suffering... maybe that's why there are so many great films about war.

Speaking of art here's an alternate movie poster.

In yet another attempt to widen his range, Douglas was a surprising yet perfect choice to play tortured artist Vincent Van Gogh, in his 3rd and final Oscar nominated role. He was custom made to portray the wild passion and intensity of the artist, but it was his quiet moments of calm genius that really impressed. This time he lost the award to Yul Brynner for The King and I, as big, colourful productions began to dominate; also watching on as co-star Anthony Quinn picked up best supporting actor. There are rumours Douglas was less than happy to lose out, and he made a personal vow to soon enter the arena in a big epic that would sweep the board… Although many believe his artistic star had peaked here with the more subtle Lust For Life.
