Gary Sinise defends the military against ‘one-sided’ filmmakers

Gary Sinise fumes.
As we talk and tour the National Vietnam Veterans Art Museum in the South Loop, Sinise’s gravel-and-coffee-grounds growl picks up momentum and passion. At one point, he’s hard to interrupt to ask a question as his voice succumbs to infuriated frustration. Especially when talking about director Brian De Palma.
Listen: “He was out to get the troops, to depict them as child rapists. That’s the truth he wanted to tell. That’s one particular, horrible episode that happened by, clearly, some criminals who happen to be in the American military.”
But we’re jumping ahead of the conversation.
On this day Sinise is in Chicago promoting “Brothers at War,” which opens Friday. He served as executive producer on the documentary, in which director Jake Rademacher follows two of his younger brothers, both soldiers, to their theaters of war in Iraq.
“This movie is not going to be your typical blood-and-guts, negative, depressing thing about Iraq,” Sinise says. “What’s great about this film is there’s a personal investment, because the filmmaker is making it about his family.”
