Castle Keep Full Movie Hd 1080p Download Kickass Movie





















































a5c7b9f00b During the Battle of the Bulge, an anachronistic count shelters a ragtag squad of Americans in his isolated castle hoping they will defend it against the advancing Germans. Toward the end of World War II, a small company of American GI&#39;s occupy an ancient castle. Their commander has an affair with the countess in resident. One guy falls in love with a Volkswagon. A baker among them moves in with another baker&#39;s wife. A group of shell shocked holy rollers wander the bombed out streets. A GI art historian tries vainly to protect the castle and its masterpieces. It&#39;s a good thing the title is ambiguous because the movie is. If you can enjoy the fairy tale plot, this is a cute movie not to be taken seriously. It is set in &quot;Battle of the Bulge&quot;-Belgium locale. It is NOT a WW-2 epic in the historical sense but rather, is a philosophical plot dealing with each characters personal reaction to the brutality of war. Technically speaking, one can&#39;t fault a fairy tale on technicalities but, although a floating Volkswagen is common knowledge, one that is bullet ridden and sinks, only to refloat itself, that&#39;s another matter. This movie is worth an evening&#39;s view in front of the TV. A cult film that Columbia Pictures has done the devil to bury, keeps resurfacing because of it&#39;s exceptional poetry, invention, and flawless execution - on the part of director, editor, and camera crew, but also thanks to some of the most powerful acting on film, especially from Lancaster and Falk.<br/><br/>The writers and the director have striven hard to push the boundaries of cinematic story telling, and to do so without looking &#39;low budget&#39;, as many other more intellectually advanced films of the period did.<br/><br/>In the last analysis, calling this film &#39;anti-war&#39; is as inappropriate as saying that of Sam Fuller&#39;s &quot;Big Red One&quot;. Like Fuller&#39;s film, this is simply war as it was fought - garnished, for dramatic (and comic) effect, with more than a touch of the undeniably surreal. But as Fuller made plain in his wholly realistic film, war creates just the sort of environment where the surreal happens.<br/><br/>BTW, what made this a cult film in the first place is not any &#39;anti-war&#39; message (the message is actually more &#39;anti-European&#39; if you follow the dialog closely), but rather its remarkable comedic sense of the absurd, made most famous by the affair with the Volkswagen, but actually more impressive with Falk&#39;s baker (who moves in with the Belgian town&#39;s baker&#39;s wife, because, well, that&#39;s what bakers do, they live with baker&#39;s wives).<br/><br/>All this adds up to a stunning, even shocking film, that is still highly entertaining. I suspect those that find it confusing haven&#39;t lived much life yet, or don&#39;t want to. This film is not dated in the least; it will survive all the CGI crap that Hollywood vomits up, as long as there are people who want to think and to feel while watching a film.
