Is it worth watching, and what about with kids?

I could tape it (we are on the west coast).

It’s fabulous! Kid warning, tho, the graphic photos are REALLY graphic. But if the kids are older, it’s must see.

[donnab]

in my humble opinion yes.

“Is it worth watching, and what about with kids?”

Tape/Tivo it.

Review for kids.

I’ve been typing so I’ve only seeing about 50-60% of the visuals.

But one picture of a beheaded corpse from the Bataan Death March might
hit a perceptive, young child a bit hard.
And the mention, just now, of even more graphic horror on Guadacanal
(just verbally)...DEFINITELY PREVIEW.

Like I’ve said before:

“The Longest Day” for 10-14 year olds

“Band of Brothers” for 14-16 year olds

“Saving Private Ryan” for 16 years and above...after preview warnings.
And I say that having been in Los Angeles before/after release of
“Saving Private Ryan”.
The first radio “insider” reports I heard about pre-screenings
mentioned that a number of studio execs were seen rushing out of the
the screening room crying and running for the restrooms.
Having only seen a portion of the opening beach landing.

Stay tuned.
The Guadacanal images are fairly graphic.
One "zoom-in" of a photograph shows a real-life image of that
"Thousand-Yard Stare" painting by Tom Lea.

I wonder how much worse it will get when they hit the island-hopping
described in the book "With The Old Breed".
It might be an order of magnitude uglier.
