Great Film!

Rating: 10/10 (7 August 2003)

Well, what could I say? This is an absolutely marvelous film! I am currently in high school, and I've read several books on Operation Market Garden and, well, the movie is pretty accurate. Reasons why you should watch the movie: Great scenes...who can ever forget the airborne drops? Or Graebner's charge across Arnhem Bridge? Gen. Urguhart trying to get back to 1st Arbn. HQ? The All-American's taking of Nijmegen film? Great acting: The movie is filled with historical figures, and the actors (with the possible exception of Ryan O'Neal--Brig. Gavin was supposed to be a very charismatic and dynamic man) brought out convincing portrayals! And lastly, great music: I just love the score! Who can ever forget this score?
Overall, it is a very satisfying film, worth the time to watch it (I've done this about 50 times).
