Stalag 17

This film is a great story telling model with excellent character development. The film starts off with no sound/music, except for outside in the German camp grounds where you hear drums. The lighting is barely noticeable except for the end where a character blows out one little candle and all the lights go off, but it was to make a point. Each character had his own story, and you got to follow each character throughout the whole movie. Their was a great usage of props and materials that men in a German camp would have had to work with, so in those regards it was quite creative. You were drawn in to the plot as the other characters were lead in the movie to believe who the spy was. It made logical sense. But nothing was as it seemed, the culprit could have been several of the characters, and you could feel like you were a part of each characters story. In the end, the real spy was made known and had a great end to his life, while the first break out of the camp was a success. When it was all over I wanted to continue on with the story and keep following the characters to know what happened with them. But with the last scene you know that everyone will make it out.
