Long before the Vietnam war galvanized American filmmakers to create anti-war films, King Vidor's The Big Parade was an unflinching look at the true cost of war. An idle young man is caught up in war hysteria and enlists, discovering to his horror just what it means to kill or be killed. This monumental picture's extravagant war scenes don't overwhelm its delicate message, and it went on to become the most successful film of the silent era after Birth of a Nation. Don't miss this rare screening.
