I have long thought that, if I could see one movie created, and they promised not to screw it up totally with political correctness and Hollywood stupidity...I would want to see a movie created about the Battle of Leyte Gulf...complete with Halsey taking the bait, Oldendorf crossing the “T”, the charge of the Little Boys, the helpless jeep carriers running for their lives to try and reach a rain squall...there is so much real drama in that.
They could do great things now that were not possible in making the movie with CGI and such, but...Hollywood would probably bollux it up...put women as captains of ships and have open homosexuals aboard.
On second thought...DON’T make that movie!
It would make for a fantastic epic, but I don’t know if you could properly tell everything that needed to be told in a a two or even three hour film. There’s a lot of needed story setup to the Battle off Samar.
