An anti-war film is a movie that is perceived as having an anti-war theme. Some are war movies that show the negative aspects of war, while others satirize war in other ways. Many complex films may be seen as anti-war by some people, and pro-war by others.
Some seemingly anti-war films have been criticized as not truly being anti-war. They may glorify or appear to glorify that version of masculinity that emphasizes violence and action.
