The most basic reason is the bottom line. Between Lone Survivor, Unbroken and American Sniper, the patriotic war movie is back. Hollywood could only keep making anti-war movies no one would watch as long as that seemed to be the only way to tackle the subject. Now there’s a clear model for making successful and respectful war movies based around the biographies and accounts of actual veterans.

Amen. All of three of those are great movies.

Speaking of Unbroken, a video clip of Louie Zamperini giving a little tour of his small Hollywood Hill home before he died.
