Putting out fires with gasoline
Did it take anyone else out of the movie when this 1980's David Bowie song started playing to open up the 3rd act? Not that there wasn't other tonal disparity moments in this movie to take you out of the experience, it jumped from great world war 2 drama to farce like it was on a trampoline. But that Bowie song was particularly jarring, and weird to hear considering that it was a big dance number back when I was a kid and really did not feel that it belonged in a world war 2 film, even in a movie with such an eclectic tone as this.
