could have been great

Rating: Null/10 (3 January 2020)

I remember this was the first movie that i could go see with driving my own car. And i was really hit hard right when walking out of the cinema, as if i got a bit of shellshock from all the fighting.
Yes war is hell and cruel, BUT not each GI was a hero and not every German soldier was an evil nazi monster. must be hard to imagine for Americans that they were just our fathers and grandfathers, most of them conscripted and forced to serve. yet without the option to sit out war in a jail cell. if they refused, they and their families were targets for the Gestapo and to be court martialed or even shot at the spot.
so as my headline says, this movie could have been great, but the extreme one dimensional display of good and bad completely ruined it for me, add the horrifying stabbing scene and thats it for me then.
IF you want to watch a piece of history that has everything this movie could have, but chose not to portray for propaganda purpose, go watch Band of Brothers.
