![]() Given the fact that they would have been worried sick already, it would have been the wrong thing to do. I just can't imagine writing a letter forecasting my own death to my parents. I imagine a lot of our guys and the Brits did on the eve of Overlord. ![]() I don't have a problem with him feeling that he was going to die. There were a number of other "out of place" scenes as well, the most notable being one where inexplicably, we see two of the soldiers in the story sneak into a theater where a little girl is being made to sing on a stage by her mother.Īnother thing I did not like was the morbid nature of the hero. The "hero" of the story was an infantryman so the flight sequences were awfully disconnected from the very, very minimal plot. ![]() But I felt the movie was far too surreal and "artistic." Case in point, there were several long sequences that tracked planes flying over Europe and showing the devastation (and I mean LONG sequences). ![]() I knew that it would not be a spectacular like "Saving Private Ryan" (which I also did not like that much except for the opening). Frankly, I was disappointed by this film.
