Been curious about this British propaganda short for years to see what distinguishes to such a degree amongst its myriad peers. It's difficult to put my finger on in writing but I can see now why it's become such an article of fascination. For me the most interesting aspect is the flow of ideas; I haven't seen much else like it in that regard, especially in wartime propaganda.
Seeing it for a second time cements it as one of Scorsese's most impressive, but I can't believe I somehow overlooked DiCaprio's performance. Another deceptively odd movie from a genre that usually shuns ambiguity.
