The ram streaming down the glass pamts the shadows of tears on the Captain's face and then, as if to give subtance to the reflection, a tear of hts own trickles down his cheek. A Soldiers Story is ftl about deceptive surface appearances. These WWII black soldiers, segregaed from the white man's army, spend much of their time in baseball uniforms instead of military garb, cooling their heels in Louisiana until they're shipped overseas. During combat drills, they opeate a smoke making machine that belches out thick white fog to simulate battle conditions.

Waters is nothing more than a vicious philosophy. He's not a real man or a three dimensional character and, as such, he is not missed by hts men or by the viewer. If it weren't for an Ponic twist, making the killer a mirror image of his victim, there would be no point here at alt. This is a think piece that, sadly, freezes out emotion while tackling these heavyweight issues with a lightweight obviousness. Concepts stand in for characters and themes displace narrative. This Story is composed of reflected recounted images, experiences in flashback, that bounce off both Davenport and the viewer, just like the shadows cast by the rain on the barrack's window. The imitation tear that caps Rollins' clench-jaweperformance has no more substance or lasting impact than the shadow that prod ceeded it. |
