This movie was not a documentary. Is was not intended to historically educate people about the war.
I saw it as a vehicle for showing those who have never been in battle or in a war, just how horrible, violent, chaotic and hellish war can be. It was loud because war is loud. War is not something for the faint of heart.
War is all about "gunfire, explosions, rushing sea water, etc". What did you expect from a war movie?
Great reviews except from the Left who criticized it for not being diverse enough. For not including any blacks, hispanics, asians, LGBTs or muslims in it. Ever the social justice warriors those liberals are. They can't help themselves.
This was an excellent film. Fifty million dollar box office hit the first weekend. But apparently not everybody's cup of tea, as they say.
War sucks, I get it.
But the point of a war movie should be to point out the reasons for the war, and why it was a worthy cause to fight the war, especially to those young skulls of mush who don’t know the context of the war.
