Ever since the early days of feature filmmaking with groundbreaking films like Wings and All Quiet on the Western Front, the war film has been an institutional staple of filmmaking, showing the pains and difficulties of battle and its impact on people as a whole. Over the years, many of the most beloved and critically acclaimed films have been a part of the genre, whether it be massive blockbusters like Dunkirk and 1917 or painfully emotional war dramas like The Zone of Interest and The Pianist.
