[Machine Translation] There is nowhere to go but home. Sam Peckinpah, the lone master of American cinema, has created the greatest war film ever made with West German and British capital. Peckinpah Violence," which gouged out the cruelty of human beings in the midst of bloody massacres and fierce battles! This is the first 4KUHD release (HDR and SDR) plus 3 previously released but no longer available Blu-ray discs, making this a 5-disc permanent edition. Sam Peckinpah, the master of violent films, has depicted the loneliness and sorrow of human beings in his ruthless depictions of violence. The only war film of his career, "The Guts of War" is a monumental work that, 40 years after its production, still reigns as the pinnacle of cinema that no other film has ever reached. The film dramatically depicts the fate of a German platoon in desperate circumstances on the Russian front in World War II under the onslaught of the Soviet army, and the harsh battlefield scenes of men covered in blood, sweat, and dust are burned into the film with thorough realism. Peckinpah did not accept the so-called cinematic narrative structure of good and evil, but tried to depict the reality of war as only men who had spent long periods of time on the front lines could understand it. -In 1943, the German and Soviet armies fought to the death on the Russian front. The German army, which at one point had invaded as far as Stalingrad, was outnumbered by a fierce counterattack by the Soviet army. While being forced to make a painful retreat from the Taman Peninsula to the Crimea, the German Army led by Colonel Brandt was barely able to withstand the onslaught of the enemy. Captain Stransky, who had been assigned to the front line, was obsessed with obtaining the Iron Cross, the highest German military decoration. His subordinate, Corporal Steiner, who leads the 2nd Platoon, is a man of exceptional fighting ability who is trusted by the soldiers. The tragic fate of the German men unfolds under desperate circumstances. 92 pages.
