Movies This Year

[Trickytreesreds]

For me, what hit home was that how utterly terrifying it must have been. Growing up playing toy soldiers and watching movies that portrayed war as an exciting adventure was the norm but this showed it to be the opposite .

I'm sure as you say there are still inaccuracies but it really was a great film.

indeed it is. They held nothing back as limbs get blown off. Dying bodies, with their guts hanging out and the only thing they get is a morphine jab as you die.

It stirs up emotion from out right fear, confusion, to hatred and anger.
When they finally get off that beach, they butcher the Germans trying to surrender, or let them burn to death in a slow agonising way.
I don't care what any one thinks of their own morals, you do not know how you'd react in the same situation after watching all that misery in the sand.

You see a lot of that in the film "Fury" as well, as the tank crew fights to live.
Being in a Sherman tank, was one of the last places you would want to be in WW2. They didn't call them Ronsons or Tommy cookers for nothing.
