The important question is, why is it rated R? Remember, Passion of the Christ was rated R, yet Christians absolutely flocked to it. Saving Private Ryan was an R-rated war movie, yet it didn’t have any objectionable ‘adult content’ that I could remember, just loads of violence. If there is actually ‘adult content’, yeah I’d probably stay away from it, but I don’t mind violence or even nudity at all if it’s for purposes of historical accuracy (ie, Schindler’s List).
On a side note, anyone seen Traitor yet? It looks like it could be really interesting, but I haven’t seen enough of it to get an idea of what kind of stance the film takes on the whole Jihad idea, or if it doesn’t and it’s just an action movie.
Just change the title to something more appropriate -- The African Americans Have Landed (just in fun). But there were African American fliers in Italy, as well as the Japanese American soldiers in Italy.
The Japanese American soldiers were very highly decorated and they had a very high casualty rate. Yet their families were herded off to prison camps while they went off to fight for America.
Once this film comes out, they should review Spike Lee's versus the movies on the NAVAJO CODE TALKERS (two movies about them were made -- Battle Cry had them in that movie -- as well as a more recent movie WindTalkers).
I just don't remember the movie about the Japanese Americans in Italy, but they do deserve recognition.
And there was a positive movie made about the African American Army pilots, but I can't remember the name of that movie...
