Surprisingly, there are some war movies that actually get it right the first time.Don Maddox said:I've already stated I don't think they give US soldiers a fair shake. I never implied they give anyone else a fair shake either. Hollywood may even be guilty of portraying the Nazis in a bad light.
Man, I'll have to sit in a quite place and think about that one for a while! Maybe I need to open another bottle of Chianti...
For example, Gods And Generals is a brilliant war movie that moves your heart when you see how men on both sides did fight honorably and died for what they believed in. I had even tears coming down, I was surprised when that movie got the biblical quotes correct.
Andersonville is also another brilliant Civil War movie, though, it's about a Confederate POW camp for the Union troops trapped there.
If you want to watch campaigns or battles, then you'd best get a TV documentary on the wars covered in several volumes. Tora Tora Tora! is another good war movie about Pearl Harbor, it's way superior to the modern Pearl Harbor movie.
