1917

[Titanwarrior89]

You got that right. [:(]

[jimi3]

Amen. 1975. It was called Mechanized Death.

[wodin]

I enjoyed it despite some misgivings. Soldier doesn't know Forest in French despite being out there at least 6 months. The general plot is abit silly with alot of holes in it. Still I did enjoy it. Though still waiting on a WW1 classic to be made.

[zakblood]

i also enjoyed it, but did think it was one sided and rather a odd story and way it was made made me think it was for one side view point to view and comment on, not a classic by any stretch of the words, so seen better, and much worse, but would recommend it all the same as not that many come out from the period

[Trugrit]

I liked the film. There are holes in almost every movie plot. I suspend disbelief to enjoy the movie.

WW1 Message Streamer:
https://www.awm.gov.au/collection/REL28973/

“The lack of ground to air communication in WWI saw all sides use messages dropped from aircraft.
The message bags to which the streamer was attached would have the message inserted and the whole
dropped over the relevant unit or position. The streamer was long and colorful to enable
it to be seen and recovered.”

I'm glad you added the almost caveat. One would be hard pressed indeed to find any holes in the movie plot for the Michael Bay masterpiece Pearl Harbor.

This piece of celluloid magic gets such a bad press. I defy you to name even one plot hole.

So why did Rafe travel to England to fight, if the war hadn't begun yet?

Rafe heard there was a little contretemps between Germany and Englandsville. He thought he'd pop over to get that sorted before porking some nurse or other... or was it Danny? Who knows?

Hoe many kills did Rafe have in the Battle of Britain? And why isn't he in the 1969 film?

147, of which 139 were fighters and 232 bombers. He wasn't depicted in the film due to an inability to find an appropriate actor to play the role. Not until Ben Affleck came of age could anyone even approaching that level of manly, testosterone laden, hunk be found to fill Rafe's shoes.

"The Lost Battalion" was actually much better than I thought it would be. I watched it after visiting the site in the Argonne last October. Fascinating true story and aftermath.

[balto]

Lost Battalion.., now that is a war movie, 7.5 of 10. Meets the scientific equation for war movie; (1) marketed as a war movie, (2) great story about war, and the most important part of the equation, (3) tons of combat and graphic.

Maybe he is referring to Pearl Harbor as a masterpiece of how NOT to do a movie.

Are you suggesting, dear Sir, that Rafe may have been porking Danny?

[:-]I feel very strongly that far too much time has been wasted discussing TMTSNBM. We should move on to more productive areas, such as the number of forum members who could simultaneously comment on the AB thread.

Hey, I'm just trying to get to the bottom [fnar fnar] of these allegations.
