HART'S WAR (2002)

Lt. Thomas W. Hart (Colin Farrell) get caught by the Germans during World War II and ended up being questioned for information.  He is released and sent to a prisoner of war camp when he conveys some information after torturous treatment.  At the POW camp he is placed in a barracks with the enlisted men away from the other officers.  When a couple of African-American pilots arrive to the camp there seems to be some obvious racism expressed towards the African-Americans.  In addition, they are placed in the same barracks as Hart, which becomes the beginning of a difficult time for Hart and the newly arrived men as they face racism and bigotry in Nazi-Germany.  Hart's War is a heroic war film that deals with social and moral issues. However, it has an obvious Hollywood influence, which magnifies the heroism and provides contrasts that are excessively obvious.
