Moving

Rating: 10/10 (13 August 2005)

Our crowd included a lot of older people, and some older men with Pilipino wives. There was one scene in particular that had many people in tears, and after the moving hardly anyone left the theater while they showed the old footage with the actual troops from the raid. It's been a while since I've seen a movie affect a crowd like that (SPR certainly was one).
Also, based on the PBS documentary, they didn't seem to go overboard in the dramatization. When I saw "inspired by actual events" I assumed it would be as historically accurate as U-571. While I'm sure there's license taken (especially with the romantic back-story), they seem to have gotten the broad points spot on.
