Films about war will always show graphic scenes of violence and carnage, as the conflict is at the very nature of the story. Some of these films will present it in such a way as to find some glory and heroics in the heat of combat, with exciting gunfire and sweeping battlefield sequences that have been beautifully choreographed. The most harrowing war films that define this genre will go beyond the surface to reveal the horrifying and nightmarish aspects of war that are deeply unsettling and show the true evil that affects the soldiers and civilians throughout the war.
