Though most people point to the film's post-climactic scene, the one
with the woman singing, as the films high point, I'd like to disagree.
The scenes in that fancy room, far from the trenches, are in my mind,
some of the better scenes in the picture.
The emotion comes from the characters, chosen at random from a group who
were called cowards. These three representatives will be executed for
the groups actions. It's their own turmoil as they await their sentence
which is the gripping crux of the film and should be the focus of
attention, not the final scene.
