FYI, Netflix has this movie in their “Save” category which means it hasn’t been released to the public yet.
I added it to my queue.
I just saw it here in nashville an hour ago...10:30 showing with my 10 year old lad
not one ounce of politics
simply a very good war movie
really well done.....amazing
yeah, isn’t she great?
Shy of the tech pulling up the ring main of arty IED’s it was pretty real........:o)
Glad ya liked it !
Stay safe !
Just curious, what compelled you to bring a 10 year old to see the movie?
and on top of that he knows several Iraq war vets from Ft Campbell who have visited and stayed at our home and his own family has a rich military tradition (not me) going back to before the WBTS in the South.
I had studied the movie on that libfest but comprehensive site IMDB and we had been waiting months for it to finally come out...and we were not disappointed.
he can smell PC indoctrination a mile away and gives his teachers fits so he and I were quite pleased that it was anything but that
the only part I had him close his eyes was the dead kid part...gruesome no doubt and when it unfolded he knew already...like a horror movie sorta but of course not fake
i myself was always disturbed by the dead children from my forays into conflict zones....God, with so many of my own now I don't think i could handle it...that is easier for young men without children yet..maybe
anyhow...you should see it...Ralph Fiennes sorta steals the show briefly...very dry and witty
i have other children I would not and did not take and this was probably the maximum effect I would expose him to yet
but the message he got was I think very positive and informing...this was real with no polemics...
