Going to see this Friday. Can’t wait. Christopher Nolan is the best director of his generation. His “Dark Knight” series was an absolute masterpiece—and I don’t like “Batman” as a character.
From the trailer, it looks like he got the messages right.
“Upon this battle depends the survival of Christian civilisation.”
Do you think any Allied soldiers that died in WWII did so to see the “Christian civilization” destroyed by godless atheists as we have today? The only remnants of Christianity in Europe today are in the eastern parts either occupied by or allied with the Axis; those countries are in the news today because they won’t take in Mohammedan murderers.
My deceased Father-in-law saw combat in Europe, and my Father saw combat in the Pacific.
My maternal grandfather saw combat in France, WWI. The other grandfather registered for the WWI draft but was 36 yrs. old then, and was not called.
The Grandfather who served in WWI registered again, for WWII but was not called. He was 46.
I served in the conscripted forces during Vietnam, but not there.
My niece served in the air Force, in turkey, Afghanistan, etc.
Compared to the that past, very few families today have connections to the military.
I hope it continues to work out. All of my ancestors came to North America in wooden ships. That required a big commitment.
Contrast that with the millions we allow in, that despise us but just want our good lives, or want to ill us or cheat us.
I thought it was a tremendous movie. A grand movie told through three distinct points of view that overlapped and intersected each other’s story.
