I hope it is a better film than "saving private Ryan"....

Private Ryan is only superficially very realistic ( sounds, uniforms, colours etc.), but substantially very unrealistic, it is the usual american propaganda commercial movie: the usual small group of americans against many well armed germans with tigers. They even build grenades craft{sm4} as it is well known that americans were poorly armed{sm4}.The usual small group of "heros" against a multitude of well armed germans...Pity that the battle of Normandy was the opposite of this {sm4}

As usual, you've missed the point. Maybe this article will help, http://www.theatlantic.com/entertai...lse-patriotism-of-saving-private-ryan/371539/

Poppo,
I have not seen Fury yet but suspect it fits in with your description of SPR as above. You probably won't like it as it involves a small group of heroes against a multitude of well armed Germans, has a Tiger tank, and is no doubt "commercial".

Sounds great to me but you should probably avoid watching such films as going to upset you.

Poppo, seems a few small bands of Americans chased the Germans from France in the 40,s as large bands of French couldn,t do it!

Yes, and they were poorly armed, at that.:wink2::rolleyes2: Of course, no reason to thank the US for getting rid of the Nazis or keeping Europe from worshiping Stalin's moustache.:rolleyes2: -- Al

A few small bands of americans? Yes, with the total control of the air, thousands of fighter-bombers, flying fortresses,and helped by Hitler' s incredible strategic mistakes...But I said another thing: that the situations showed in the Ryan movie are just fiction , as well as the biggest part of american historical films. Sure that the french-british armies in 1940 were fighting the previous war...

Silly and boring article...What point? I m not speaking on the patriotic or moral point of view...But on the historical realism. If you watch "the downfall" or "Valkyrie", or " Das boot", you will see what I mean. Sure the debarkment scene is wonderful, well done and realistic, but the rest of film is not at the same level to me. Anyway, it is a great film and enjoyable to see..

Not sure what your point is here. Is the US supposed to feel guilty about using better weapons, tactics, and strategy than the Germans did? If so, that's a ridiculous POV. Germany chose to go to war with the US and that decision doomed Germany. The US wasn't called the 'Arsenal of Democracy' for nothing and it is certainly not the fault of the US that Germany couldn't produce enough weapons to win the war. Germany started it, the US finished it. -- Al

You are right, in fact my point is another: that the american movies always show that the enemy is stronger and more powerful and this was not the reality.

There now. That wasn't so hard, was it? Oh, and by the way, you have the freedom not to drink the colas or eat at Macs, if you so choose. :wink2: -- Al

Yes, in fact I don't....I am just sad that Europe ( especially western Europe)always takes all the negative things from America like materialism, wild capitalism making people like zombies,extreem feminism. So, I live most of the time in eastern Europe where the social relations, spontaneity still exist.

Gents...enough of this 'side trip' discussion. Time to get back to talking about the movie.
