War films depicting battles and struggles are considered quite relevant and always evoke an emotional response from the viewer. And this year’s war films are no exception. They are aimed at teaching the viewer respect for people who risked their lives in order for us to be able to build our future. Films about the war are films not only with an entertaining, but also an educational bias. They make the viewer think about their views on life, reflect on their actions and their all kinds of consequences.
