Message 3/5	Explores the theme of what it means to be a patriot who may not always agree with the policies of his/her country, the importance of thinking for yourself even as you follow rules, and the mysteries of attraction and romance. Also reveals how class-conscious English society was -- and why it was so limiting for people in terms of who they could/should marry or fall in love with.
Role model 3/5	Bill is a smart young man of convictions. He loves his parents, sister, and friends and teaches the conscripted soldiers how to think for themselves, although it eventually gets him in trouble. Percy is a loyal friend to Bill, even though he's a troublemaker.
Violence 2/5	Two soldiers have a fist fight, two friends push and shove each other, a woman is hospitalized. An officer visits a military hospital full of injured soldiers, including an amputee and some suffering from shell shock/PTSD.
Sex 4/5	Much discussion of virginity and sex, but only one actual sex scene. It's quick and shadowy; viewers see kissing and then two characters on a bed together -- he has his trousers down, and she has her legs wrapped around him. Earlier in the movie, a character catches two soldiers peeping on her nurses' dormitory, and she presses a bare breast against a window. Best friends reveal that one had sex with the other's girlfriend, and the other with his friend's sister. A woman disrobes to go skinny-dipping; her butt is in full view.
Language 4/5	Frequent strong language includes "f--k" (both as a term for sex and as an expletive),"wanker," "s--t," "sh-te," "a--hole," "t-ts," and the insults "coward," "skiver," "useless," etc.
Drugs 3/5	Adults smoke cigarettes (or "fags" as the Brits call them) -- as was typical of the time -- and drink on a regular basis.

Review Title

Rating*

Rating is just the typical 5 star rating you'd give the film like you'd see on any other review site.

Support*

Support is a boycott suggestion and is meant to be a way for us to consolidate our efforts in “voting with our dollars.” Obviously, Hollywood has proven that they will sacrifice profits for the sake of their agenda, but they’re not as monolithic as you’d think. And people still respond to incentives.

So the 3 options are:

Pay to watch:

This movie is worth your time, and you should support the creators financially so we get more content like it.

Watch it AND give them money.

Watch if free:

The show is entertaining, but you shouldn’t reward the creators for whatever reason. Perhaps you don't want to support preachy celebs who hate their fans. Or maybe you enjoy superhero movies and nostalgia bait, but don't want to encourage Hollywood to continue making them in such a high ratio.

That’s when you’d click the “Watch Now” button and choose from one of the “Free” links:

( Use at your own risk. ZeitgeistReviews does not endorse any of the links and we don’t condone piracy. And we definitely discourage you from using this Reddit thread that shows you all of the places to pirate movies & tv. )

Watch it BUT don’t give them money.

Skip it:

This means the movie wasn’t even worth your time. Maybe it's so full of Woke crap that you’ll want to pull your hair out half way through. Or it could simply just be a piece of s**t, and not in a "so bad it's good" kind of way.

Don’t watch it AND don’t give them money.

( Note: We have expanded our site from just TV & Movies. Now we have games and will add music/books/etc. So the wording might change but the sentiment is still the same for every "Support" section. )

Review text*

Note: Please wrap spoilers [spoiler] like this. [/spoiler]

Neo-Marxism

Neo-Marxism, (sometimes referred to as "Cultural Marxism"), rates the amount of fanatic egalitarianism in a film. Consider this mainly a rating for anti-nationalist and anti-capitalist themes.

Feminism

Strong and multidimensional female characters are fine. This is mainly referring to girlboss crap, unrealistic Mary Sue content, and/or egregious scenes of manhood being disparaged.

Affirmative Action

Affirmative Action rates how much "diversity" is being pushed. ( Not true diversity, but the anti-White checklist kind.)

Gay Stuff

Gay Stuff rates the amount of non-tradional sexuality depicted.

Fedora Tipping

Fedora Tipping rates the amount of atheism / Scientism™ in a film.
