War sucks...I saw the movie.

Rating: Null/10 (16 September 2006)

It seems to me the only "powerful" movies about war involve the characters suffering like they were in a Hugo novel. I've spoke to many veterans from several wars who are proud of their service and have nothing bad to say of the years they spent over seas. This is not to say they did not experience the horrors of war, just that they feel part of a greater cause for the betterment of man. Where are the movies that talk about the improvemnet of man? The Nazis were defeated. Hurray!! Modern movies feel it necessary to emphasize the negative in the light of overall accomplishment. We do not need a re-accurance of simple war glory movies that pass over the issues, but it seems that movies have moved to the opposite extreme. Portray a war in just the blacks, and ignore the white and you have a hit. I don't mean to pick on this movie, it's just the one I have watched most recently.
