    New Movie: Saints and Soldiers

    'Selected theaters' usually means New York and LA only. I live in the LA metro area and will post a review after (and if) I see it. The trailer seems to show all the typical WW2 movie cliches; the tough sergeant, the religious sniper, the cynical medic. Also has some questionable themes...

    If you examine the actual borders in this dispute, you will find that the Soviet version of the Mongolian border was stretched farther into into the Manchuoko plain than was agreed internationally. The Japanese 'invasion' only served to push back the soviet-backed Mongols to the border which...

    "Firstly, Khalkhin-Gol conflict was in Mongolia where Japaneses invaded." According to the Soviet point of view. Japanese contention was that area of question belonged to puppet-state of Manchuoko, or 'manchuria' as known in the west.

    The Ultimate WW2 movie thread

    Other than one US sergeant's psychotic break (which would eventually progress into PTSD later in life), I didnt see much in the film re: psychological disorders. The broken morale of the defeated Japanese soldiers was depicted quite well, however.
