irony
16 April 2015
When this movie was on TCM I almost turned it off as it was described as Science Fiction. Not being a fan of SciFi but having read the description of the movie, I decided to give it a try. I felt it really confronted some very important details that are often overlooked in the patriotic bravado associated with decisions of going to war. Eerily prophetic in my opinion. I think the many topics including unwed birth, that were presented in this movie make it a very timeless and "real" story. The very startling irony for me is that Philip Holmes who played the son died in 1942 at the start of WWII in a mid-air collision after having joined the Royal Canadian Air Force!!
