heard that it is not your usual "all guns blazing" kinda war movie??? The battle scenes are only a short portion of the show???Originally posted by dakkon_blackblade:Well, there are some gory parts, but I don't think that should be a factor, unless she is really squeamish. That said, this is quite unlike most war movies, in that it attempts to represent the soldiers as normal human beings rather than people who became mentally disturbed or pyschologically shattered as a result of war. It also looks at how we create images and ideas of heroism and how they are manipulated for gain.
Think the napalm bombing aftermath in We Were Soldiers is the worst I have seen.Originally posted by dakkon_blackblade:Oh well, the narrative flashes constantly between the past and the present, as well as between the heroes' war experience and their experience back in America. The major battle scenes occur some 15 - 20 mins into the film, and are indeed quite awe-inspiring, though according to my friends they were not quite so authentic.
The examples of gore are not much, like a Marine who had his guts spilling out from an abdominal wound, and the grisly aftermath of a grenade suicide by some Japanese in a cave.

On the whole, I'd recommend it, though the choice of company is the individual's decision. I have no comment on that.
