108228, What more should we expect from Hollywood?

Hell Saving Private Ryan was kind of corny and that was Oscar bait for adults.

Both of Eastwood's films were good...but at this point WWII films almost write themselves.

WWII has become a cheesy pageant for Americans anyway. The USSR defeated Hitler and they paid dearly for it. We dropped atomic bombs and committed a grip of war crimes, sat back while Jews were slaughtered, and ignored our own principles after the war by fucking over Vietnam.

99% off WWII movies are white-washed. I don't feel slighted, my nephew liked it, and at the end of the day these guys get to be part of our rose-tinted American nostalgia.
