War is an inherently cinematic subject material that has inspired a multitude of great films over the course of cinematic history. Between biopics made about iconic historical figures, critical satires that expose the irony of combat, and fictional stories that are nonetheless inspired by real wars, there’s a number of great subgenres that exist within the larger category of war cinema. However, each style of war film requires compelling performances that are able to engage the audience.
