Review of Nous étions un seul homme

I've read some of the longer reviews and I agree with most of the criticisms, but there was something compelling to watch here. Was it just the sheer uniqueness of this gay themed movie? Was it because it was set during WWII? Or was it mostly because the leads were young and attractive, especially Rolf? The crazy French peasant with stout gluts and the hyperactivity of a 12 year old held my attention throughout. And Rolf, the brooding, athletic German soldier was just too handsome to NOT look at. I wanted to feel sympathy for the Frenchman, but he was just too unpredictable, hyper and mental that it was doubtful he could ever blossom into a fully adult male, capable of a deep human bond. The Nazi came from a very oppressed, homophobic background which is why he decided to stay with his newfound, though crazy pal/lover. Had a crazy ending, not surprising. Seems the Frenchman could never allow his new German lover to ever leave, so he did what seemed most logical - to him. Fortunately, the movie had some comical undertones; otherwise, I wouldn't recommend it at all. It would have been just too sad, pathetic and crazy!!!
