Husband and I haven’t been to a movie in several years, but we want to see this one.

I don’t think I have seen a better movie.

This one will keep your attention and you will lose focus a few times as the screen seems to get blurry.

This is better than “Saving Private Ryan”. This story understates the truth of what really happened. It shows the protagonist going straight to Okinawa but in reality he did similar life saving work in two other battles before then.

There is a statement at the courts marshal that sums up the heroism of the era.

This is a movie that should be mandatory for every graduating high school senior to see before graduating. War is Hell. War is death and destruction, it should not happen without much contemplation about the death our soldiers will be sent to.
