I think it will be shown again tomorrow night.

It just started at 8, so you can still get a good piece.

My uncle went through the Bataan Death March, and wrote a memoir about it. He was very excited about this movie. He said it pretty much showed what they went through.

He was not rescued in the raid. He was shipped to Japan and only released with the atomic bomb explosions. But I’ve seen the movie, and it’s wonderful.

This was a terrific movie. Connie Nielson was outstanding in her role, as was Benjamin Bratt.

This is a magnificent movie. Everyone should see it. I bought it so that my daughter could see what true courage and nobility are.

When I went to see it, the entire audience sat in respectful silence all the way through the end credits, which showed black-and-white stills of American soldiers. My father, a combat photographer/cinematographer in the Philippines, took some of those pictures.

Ghost Soldiers is one of the best WWII books I’ve ever read. I highly recommend it. Hard to read that book or watch this movie and not come away hating the Japs (at least the WWII variety).

Was it really that good? I heard mixed reviews even from conservative reviewers that it was too nonfactual and too PC.
