Fear and Desire - Restored early Kubrick

Ran across this on the Amazon Prime steaming list and gave it a try. A taut little wartime thriller, about a handful of men behind enemy lines trying to make their way home. Along the way, tensions are stretched, tempers flare and a plan eventually comes about to use their special situation to kill an enemy general rather than just sneak down the river towards the front lines under cover of night. Not all that special, but gives a hint of greatness to come. I’m sure some special sort of meaning is supposed to come out of the fact that the Lieutenant and the General are played by the same person, but it escapes me.
