most movies before 1970 about war were focus so much on heroism and courage, which is exactly what america needed. SPR raelly tied to reinact alot of the realizm of the war. You would have rarely seen any director in the classic movies hiring scads of the diabled to depict the warriors who had their libms blown off. I was so moved by the movie that I bought it, adn cant watch it. Being one of three brothers, it hit me like a brick, and my mother wont watch it at all. It was almost too real. Movies like full metal jacket and even apocolypse now springboarded us into an era of expecting realism, and not necessarily heroism. Difficult to compare tora tora tora, and a dude being turned into a pink cloud after the sticky bomb goes off prematurely (the most diturbing part to me). My grandfater was on the southern caost of Britain operating an AA gun, and had some of the most incredible stories...
