Nice observations.
Also, Zero Dark Thirty, which had so many pertinent messages in it for the war on terrorists.
I haven't seen many of the others mentioned, but these two are outstanding.
“Yes! The Patriot and Red Dawn (the original one with Patrick Swayze) are pretty much my two favorite movies of all time.”
I have watched The Patriot over and over and over and would watch it again over and over and over.
And I have watched “Schindlers List” over and over and over.
Wow, what an opportunity!
You have a right to be proud of your son. I only wish he had a better Commander in Chief.
I was able to take my son, when he was about 14, to hear & meet Lech Walesa and to shake his hand. There is something special about being able to meet and thank those who have risked everything to do the right thing.
Another great one.
“John Wayne was 100% correct, he had their number, and that makes the Left angrier than anything.”
John Wayne’s script writers were just parroting what was common knowledge at the time. John Wayne was just reciting lines; he predicted nothing.
I loaned my copy to a retired Ranger/SF guy who had been there in the early days and he said it was “crap.” He might have been critiquing it on a technical point though, but never trust anything that comes out of Hollywood for technical or historical accuracy.
“Memphis Belle” the real one shot during WW II not the b s Hollywood one. That will make your hair stand on end. “These guys came home on their luck”
I met John Wayne twice. He was exactly the same person off screen that he was on screen.
Interesting perspective. I’ll watch the movie again (I’ve got it on DVD) with this in mind.
That's a very good one.
My favorite is AMC's TURN: Washington's Spies, about the real-life Culper spy ring. The first season was good, but the second season was fantastic. And the actor portraying George Washington is inspired casting.
