Re: I will see any WWII movie that comes out. I even went to see "The Thin Red Line" and wanted that particular two hours of my life back.

Gadzooks, wbill! How can... you say that???

When the heroic left handed lefty George Clooney... appeared in the last reel to save the day and now that we mention it, pick up a very healthy paycheck?

"Thin Red Line" is what you get when a bunch of Anti-American, Military-Hating Leftists make a war movie about what they think the military is really like.

:-)

However, occasionally, Hollywood gets it right.

I was reading about "A Bridge Too Far" (good flick, if you've not seen it). Michael Caine played the Colonel who was leading the initial attack. The scene before the attack had him making this "rah rah, three cheers for the home team, go out and kill some Nazis" chest-thumping type speech to the troops.

Fortunately, the *real* Colonel (Col. J.O.E. Vandeleur) was on set that day, and Caine asked him what he really said before the attack. A plain, straightforward "OK, Let's Go", or somesuch, was the answer. And, that's what made it into the movie.

So, occasionally, Hollywood gets it right. At least, by accident. :-)

That movie was the quadfecta of anti war lefty casting. Along with Clooney it stars Sean Penn, John Cusack, and Woody Harrelson.
