An Excellent Perspective of the Stupidity of a War
`The Young Lions’ is the Second War II presented through the participation of three soldiers. Christian Diestl (Marlon Brando) is an idealistic German, son of a shoemaker. He joins the Army believing that life could improve in Germany under the administration of the Nazis. However, being a soldier, he cannot accept `acting like a police’ in an occupied Paris and requests transference to the front, where he has another disappointment with the cruelty of the war. Noah Ackerman (Montgomery Clift) is a shy American Jew, a very simple man, just married with Hope Plowman (Hope Lange) and very discriminated in his platoon for being Jew. He goes to the war and leaves his family. Michael Whiteacre (Dean Martin) is a successful actor who became friend of Noah while in New York and is also obliged to join the army and go to London. There, he decides to leave the office activity and join his platoon in the front. This movie is excellent. It shows common people being used by government in a senseless war. All the main characters are peaceful common persons: Christian is a very simple person, wishing to climb socially in life in a Germany without opportunities and is misguided by the speech of Hitler and pretty soon he becomes aware how stupid war is. Noah is also a very simple person, a salesman from a department store, who indeed wishes to be with his family and join the Army just for obligation. And Michael is a selfish actor and bon vivant, without any sense of patriotism and who is not interest in anything but to have his life back. These characters are put together in a stupid war, having to kill persons to save their lives and to obey orders, which they do not agree. This movie is an excellent perspective of the stupidity of a war. My vote is eight.

Great Book, Shame About The Movie
Irwin Shaw’s novel The Young Lions was arguably the finest of the post-war novels about World War II; unlike the majority of novels that appeared between 1945-55 it concerned itself with ALL the major theatres of war in Europe and North Africa whilst others – The Naked And The Dead, Pacific island; The Cruel Sea, North Atlantic; Mr. Roberts, The Caine Mutiny, Pacific, Battle Cry, Pacific,etc – confined themselves to one arena. Shaw began his novel on New Year’s Eve, 1938 and took in the North African campaign, D-Day and the war in Europe and was notable for including a German perspective in the shape of one of the three leading characters, Christian Diestl – the other two were American, WASP Michael Whiteacre and Jew Noah Ackerman whilst a fourth ‘character’, the bullet that finally kills Noah, which was followed from its manufacture until it got to Diestl, was ‘dropped’ by the publishers before it hit the stands in 1948. The basic storyline of three disparate soldiers has been retained but because of Brando’s childish tantrums, which were ultimately successful, he was able to completely upset the balance of the movie by playing Diestl as a ‘good’ Nazi, culminating in the scene where, far from shooting Noah from ambush as he says ‘welcome to Germany’, he smashes his gun to pieces and is shot by Michael (as he was in the book but ONLY after he had first killed Noah). Clift must have experienced a sense of deja vu as he was called upon to fight the toughest guys in the platoon because he’d done the same thing five years earlier in From Here To Eternity; another echo with Eternity is that in both films senior officers who look the other way whilst Clift’s characters are bullied are later themselves reprimanded by their own senior officers. The only thing wrong here is that Lions was published in 1948 but reached the screen later than Eternity, published in 1952. Clift, as usual, acts everybody else off the screen but there is some good support. It’s certainly worth seeing but could have been so much better.
