War is one of those horrific things that should never have to occur in reality but which makes for undeniably compelling films — put it right up there with serial killers and the apocalypse. There's no denying that the violence and destructive nature of war can make for visceral and technically impressive viewing, whether the films want to grapple with the psychological and political implications of it or not. War is hell, but war movies are monuments of filmmaking.
