After surviving a massacre in Malmedy, a location behind the German army in Europe, four American soldiers with only one weapon rescue the British pilot Oberon Winley (Kirby Heyborn) in a tree and they move together, trying to reach the allied forces and save a great number of allied soldiers from a German attack with the information got by Winley in his flight. While marching, each soldier discloses inner secrets to the rest of the group. Written by Claudio Carvalho, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
Saints and Soldiers is a quite powerful movie. It has a very human side, although the idea is not very unique.
A movie about 5 brave allied soldiers fighting their way back to base from behind enemy lines, during WW II.
Each of the characters embodies a different human typology. There is a subtle religious side, also.
The movie has a good visual narrative construction. It is worth being seen.
The main idea is that, behind the soldier uniform there is a human being.
