*Huh? It was not meant as a documentary.
It was strictly a hoped for vignette of how a small part of WW II could have gone.*
I’m not into ‘let’s pretend’.
*I suppose you stopped watching “Forrest Gump,” at about the same point in the movie.*
Forrest Gump was a simpleton who made good. So did Peter Sellers in “Being There”. It sells to the simpletons among us who need an escape.
All Sci-Fi is an escape, as are all dramas and slasher movies.
If you want news, opinion, or documentaries, you need to look elsewhere.
It’s fiction. P.S. Shakespeare also made stuff up...even the history plays.
