Soldier of Orange
Director: Paul Verhoeven
Year Released: 1977
Rating: 1.0
A group of friends join the resistance in Holland against the occupying Nazis, and two flee to England to join the RAF. View of life black and white: Nazis bad, Resistance good, Nazis depraved, War bad, Women just objects of pleasure/things that should be naked at all times. Too silly to take seriously as a valid and important entry in the WWII Film Listings, and the film's length is an oppressive two-and-a-half hours; Verhoeven's biography asserts that a major influence on his career has been comic books, which seems like a cheap excuse for making mediocre products.
