In early 1950s war movies were made in two main trends - in United States the dominating motif was still the triupmh over Axis durign the war (like Operation Pacific, Halls of Montezuma, Beachhead). In other countries the process of closure has begun and often war movies were rather describing the cruelty of war rather than the adventures (like Canal, Fires on the Plain, Yesterday’s Enemy). When the Korean War broke out it became the second main theme after stories from World War 2 (like Pork Chop Hill, A Hill in Korea). Also the first signs of Cold War were visible in cinema (f.e. Jet Pilot, On the Beach), but still as warning to politics that the way they chose may end in total annihilation of human race.
