I have heard from someone who was there, that “We Were Soldiers” is fairly accurate.
“Battle of the Bulge” was pretty accurate. Not a great war flick but it was underrated.
A buddy of mine said the boot camp parts of Apocalypse Now we’re pretty much spot on to his time.
Yes
“I have heard from someone who was there, that “We Were Soldiers” is fairly accurate.”
I was until the end. The 7th Cav. took a real kicking when they marched out from LZ Xray to LZ Albany.
My neighbor agrees
I have no knowledge of that battle, but the overall tenor of the battle scenes was spot on. The gore when someone was hit was new to me, as we were too busy trying to keep from getting hit to see/notice it until after the firefight was over.
Some of the other scenes hit me in a personal way, too.
Good movie.
“fairly” is the operative word...I bet the “someone” who was there could pick apart so many small details it would make “his” head spin...Bigger picture...sure...little picture Nope..
