War films are a genre of cinema that focuses on warfare, depicting the experiences of soldiers, the impact of conflict on society, and the moral dilemmas faced during battles. These films often portray historical events, such as World War II or the Vietnam War, and aim to convey the realities of combat, sacrifice, and heroism. Many war films also explore themes of camaraderie, loss, and the psychological effects of war on individuals. Notable examples include Saving Private Ryan, which highlights the brutality of battle, and Full Metal Jacket, which examines the dehumanizing aspects of military training and combat.
