A Norman point of view

Rating: 10/10 (4 August 1998)

As a history major, brought up in Normandy, I loved this movie. It seemed real to me, every single minute of it, so close to the stories I heard in my childhood. I knew what happened during the D-Day landing, I know all the sites and museums connected to it. This movie made me realize something else: the horror that these guys had to go through to make my country free. This isn't about war theories but about men who weren't soldiers before WWII.
