SUMMARY:CWC Classics: The Big Red One
LOCATION:Pollock Theater\, 34.415051\,-119.848801
DESCRIPTION:Samuel Fuller’s war film masterpiece The Big Red One (1980) is
  a raw journey through the Second World War\, based on the director’s own
  combat experience as a foot soldier with the U.S. Army’s 1st Infantry Di
 vision. The film follows a grizzled veteran Sergeant (Lee Marvin) and his
  core squad (the “Horsemen”)\, as they cross the desert sands of North Af
 rica\, the hills of Sicily\, and the blood-soaked beaches of Normandy\, b
 efore finally confronting the horrific reality of the Nazi concentration 
 camps. Fuller\, who had captured 16mm footage of the liberation and horro
 rs of the Falkenau concentration camp in 1945 as an infantryman\, present
 s a realistic view of warfare where survival\, rather than glory\, is the
  primary mission. This “must-make” project for the veteran filmmaker live
 s on as an unsparing statement against the unmerciful nature of combat an
 d dehumanization\, making this a “must-see” for audiences around the worl
 d\, where wars rage on.\n\nFuller’s story focuses on the lived experience
  of the infantrymen\, emphasizing the camaraderie\, numbing fatigue\, and
  arbitrary violence of the front lines. In his autobiography A Third Face
 \, Fuller wrote\, “The only war film I really wanted to make was The Big 
 Red One.” In the film\, he distills the grand scope of the Second World W
 ar into the experiences of five men\, challenging audiences to confront t
 he physical and emotional toll of total war.\n\nThe Carsey-Wolf Center is
  proud to present The Big Red One in its rarely seen 162-minute reconstru
