Sounds like another disappointing effort to deconstruct the patriotism of WWII.

I don't believe Eastwood would direct a movie with such a message.

If it's a war story from a differnt perspective so what? It's entertainment.

I've read that there were no rehearsals for any armed conflicts in order to make it more real. You got bruised or scratched and nobody yelled "Cut!".

I have no problem believing it. I have no reason to believe otherwise.

Cinema is our cultural history. Imagine the damage JFK is going to do. Just think of how many people understand Vietnam as Full Metal Jacket and Platoon and Apocalypse Now.

Great directorial tactic, good filmmaking. But the script and the director's theme is the most important guidestar.
