War and film

While some films criticize armed conflicts in a general sense, others
focus on acts within a specific war, such as the use of poison gas or
the genocidal killing of civilians (e.g., Hotel Rwanda, 2004). Some anti-war films such as Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb (1964) use parody and black comedy to satirize
wars and conflicts. An anti-war film's goal is to show the physical and
psychological destruction warfare causes to the soldiers and to
innocent civilians
