Saltburnis a visually stunning piece, showcasing meticulous attention to aesthetics. The narrative, while intriguing, follows a familiar path akin to "The Talented Mr. Ripley." However, the film takes an unexpected turn with controversial and disturbing scenes that appear disconnected from the plot, seemingly inserted for shock value. These moments feel forced, leaving one to question their necessity and correlation with the overarching story.

Despite the film's undeniable visual appeal and a compelling narrative, the inclusion of these shocking scenes raises concerns about their intent. It appears more a ploy for attention than a genuine exploration of societal norms, potentially alienating younger or conservative audiences.

The end of the movie looks also disconneted from the rest and leae us with several question marks. In essence, while Saltburn has its merits, the discordant elements prevent it from fully justifying the hype.

I did not see the classic made in 1930. However I loved this movie. It offers a stark portrayal of the First World War and its impact on the lives of young soldiers. The narrative follows a group of German schoolboys who eagerly enlist in the army, fueled by a sense of patriotism and adventure. One of the film's greatest strengths lies in its ability to capture the psychological toll of war and how it changes the characters. The final attack requested from the general summarize the futility of the war better than anything else. Loved also the direction and the picture. I would show it to all the teenagers while they study the first world war at school.
