Who researched the sex values?

Rating: Null/10 (17 January 2002)

Since there were 1161 comments before mine, I'm pretty sure they've covered most of the good, the bad, and the ugly of this movie. Especially, that it is most certainly "Titanic 2" in many respects. Historical & technical problems abound. . .but there are some decent points. The much maligned love story is decent at times, and sometimes they do capture the 1940's atmosphere fairly well. The music is good, although I did get tired of those same three notes after the 473rd shot of people drowning or otherwise suffering (Titanic-style). My main gripe with this movie is its inaccurate portrayal of 1940's sex mores. I'm not sure if anyone else has mentioned this scene, but it's an early one where all the nurses are chatting and one says "Sure, I'm here to do my duty to my country. . .and about 20 guys." Call me crazy, but I can't see a woman in that era making that very 80's/90's/00's sexual proclamation. All right, maybe I could believe that a girl would say that. However, I do not believe that all the other nurses would giggle and laugh in agreement. At least some would be shocked and appalled. That, to me, was one of the many, many problems this "war film" carried with it. Overall, some passable acting and set work, so we'll go with 4.5/10
