Storia
Billy Pilgrim, a World War II veteran and optometrist from New York, finds himself inexplicably jumping back and forth in time due to his experiences as a prisoner of war in Dresden during the bombing in February 1945. He travels between three distinct periods: his early childhood memories, his life after the war with his wife Valencia, and his mysterious abduction by aliens from Tralfamadore who keep him in a zoo.
Riassunto
Slaughterhouse-Five is a 1972 film directed by George Roy Hill, loosely based on Kurt Vonnegut's semiautobiographical novel of the same name. The movie explores Billy Pilgrim's fragmented reality and his coping mechanisms for surviving the trauma he witnessed during the Dresden bombing. The film blends comedy with themes of war, time travel, and alien encounters to illustrate Billy's disjointed perspective.
