Today I watched The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp, directed by Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger in 1943. The plot covers a huge amount of time and it does so in a great way, and works in a bit of humor as well. I mostly liked the message - an older general looking back on his life, mourning the days when soldiers had a code of honor. The movie also shows us that older people know way more than young people, and are a great source of wisdom. I think the message is good enough that I think the hours I spent watching this movie were worth it, even if I felt a little underwhelmed at the end of it.
