''Kill or Be Killed'' is an 18 minute long, documentary-style film directed in 1942 by experimental artist Len Lye during his time working for the British Government’s Ministry of Information. The initial purpose of the film was to serve as a military training tool and a piece of post-war propaganda viewable by the general public, but since its release, both critics and filmmakers alike have hailed it as a “masterpiece of filmmaking,” claiming that the realistic cinematography is both pleasing in aesthetics and technicality for its time.〔 The film is most notable for its use of subjective viewing. == Plot == ''Kill or Be Killed'' follows the single event of British sniper, Sergeant Smith, as he crawls about an unidentified, yet generic-looking forest seeking to aim and kill a Nazi enemy ironically named Schmidt. It is actually within the first few minutes of the film that Smith acquires and executes his target, while the second act of the film (totaling in three) is a flashback that compresses the tedious manhunt leading up to the climax. The lengthy sequence shows Smith in gross camouflage blending naturally within his surrounding—each bodily movement abiding the dynamics of obscurity as he slowly ascends to higher ground and optimal surveillance. Once there, Smith progresses the action of the film by reiterating the scoping and sniping of Schmidt, and then uses the corpse as a decoy to lure other Nazi soldiers into a clearing where he systematically picks them off.〔 The film ends with an elicited tone of triumph.
