This film praises the thing that I think is inhuman. Whatever you aim is, when you kill the dragon you become a dragon. However I think that there's a reason behind it. The war is known to kill love. And man's life without love is painful.

However i like the actors' play, Jody Foster and De Niro is unbelievable young. They are known to become popular after this movie came to screens.

Cameraman's work was outstanding and making a great mood. But I really can't understand why this film is in top 250. I would rather like to see another Scorseze's film based on Dostoyevsky novel
