Is America just great at war and movies and everyone else is crap or is it just Britain? Russia is supposed to be decent, isn't it (Come and See)? Do some countries just have superior culture when it comes to warfare and depicting it?

And I thought nice frenchies were supposed to be the cowardly ones but they fought to allow Brits' retreat.

You're right. Good thing he got one
>The film is based on the true story of US Army medic Desmond T. Doss. Doss was a Christian (Seventh-day Adventist) conscientious objector who refused to bear arms, yet was awarded the Medal of Honor by President Harry S. Truman for single-handedly saving the lives of over 75 of his comrades while under constant enemy fire during the Battle of Okinawa in World War II.

>Every film about war has to be about you doing something good

Such a laughable and pathetic attitude. Dunkirk is remembered because we failed. If we wanted to make a film about something cool then there would be plenty to make, but that doesn't make a story good. The stories are about how people pulled together, not how they killed all the bad guys or whatever

Interesting. You've seen a lot of the modern essentials. Off the top of my head I'll recommend

Movies: In order. Black Hawk Down, The Pianist, Platoon, Jarhead, Flags of Our Fathers, Letters From Iwo Jima, Fury if you want something really recent. Inglorious Bastards is worth a watch too if you forgive the historical innaccuracies. That pretty much covers essential modern movies

Mini series - Band of Brothers, Generation Kill, The Pacific. That is the trifecta of much watch IMO. 3 of the best ever made. Would recommend watching in that order. Pacific is my favorite, but that's a debate for another thread.

Straight up though if you want something comfy around Christmas time, I recommend that is when you watch Band of Brothers. I do it every year, it just works and is comfy as fuck. Generation Kill is pure HBO kino. I recommend it to people who have no interest in war movies all the time.

If you're interested there are a TON of classic WW2 movies from the sixties or so that I can recommend also.

Why was the enemy able to take out 75 men but not this guy? They must have retreated when he moved in to retrieve them. This story is exaggerated like all war stories.

*fate

Why do you think America is responsible?
>>
>>66836786
The new Russian one is basically 300 set in WW2, in terms of style. If you want a shoot em up action war movie watch it. There are better.
>>
>>66836786
The new russian one is not a war film at all.
It's worth to see if you want to compare it to others.
>>
>>66836786
This is the one I was talking about: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0108211/?ref_=tt_rec_tti

I haven't seen the Russian one, but it smells a bit like modern nationalist propaganda to me.

oops, i try not to make such awful mistakes

You (and by you i mean your secret sadistic agencies and feds, not the actual ameribros, y'all cool tbqh) are responsible for a lot of atrocities around the world, with the excuse of protecting the world against terrorism and stuff, most of it is created and financed by you guys too, so you basically "pay and give the change" to yourselves.

I don't mean to create controversy or something, but you guys did kill Chavez. Like it or not, he was loved by many people over here

Happened to watch this one recently. It was interesting how different it felt from a typical war movie. The battles being shot from the commander's point of view rather than from an individual soldier's point of view made it seem more devastating.

Was he wrong for slapping those yellow bellies?

I wish they had used his original, profanity-laden speech desu. Still, it was great.
