I couldn't buy into the idea that the army would send so many men into certain death

Well, it had a slight basic in fact. If you read "Band of Brothers", one of the paratroops had all of his brothers killed, as in the movie.

However, if I remember right in real life, the army sent a division chaplain to track the guy down, and send him home. That wouldn't have made much of a movie, though.

I guess the army didn't have radios in WWII. /s
Nevertheless, leave it Hollyweird to bastard the true story.

[Could keep going,...]

The film makers live by a certain standard no matter what they may have done in the past...’What you done for us lately’?

OK, Tom. Let’s see a good quality, pro-American, pro-Christian, pro-male, pro-heterosexual, pro-conservative movie from you. Then we’ll think about you a bit more...

Tom Hanks is a great person. He may be a Democrat, a liberal, but he is a great person. I know him from another message board on a health topic. He is a decent human being, very down to earth, considering.

We really missed an excellent movie.

“Sully” is worthy of an Academy Award IMHO.

Hanks never got in my face as to who he was voting for and I didn’t feel the need to boycott him.

DeNiro can go to He!!

And he sure doesn’t deserve the Pres. Medal of Freedom.

But Obummer cheapens everything he touches.

Yes, Sully was produced and directed by Eastwood. I’m referring to the movie “Inferno”, the third part of Dan Brown’s trilogy that began with Da Vinci Chronicals.
Inferno had an opening weekend of $15. Million, far less than hoped for. The movie was beaten by Tyler Perry’s “Boo! A Madea Halloween” plus the World Series grabbing attention.

Thanks for the clarification. I got lost in the back in forth of the thread.

"Then Hanks said something that would probably be career suicide for a less established actor: "

Hanks knows that most of his fans probably voted
for Trump. He doesn't want to alienate them because
of some stupid remarks about an election.
