I have a theory: The movie is too good to be just a movie. I feel as you're watching the opening scene, you get drugged. The rest of the movie is a hallucination of the best movie you can possibly imagine. Just a theory, so, yeah. |

The cinamatography in BHD was extremely similar to that of SPR...to say the least. So true weird story here-I woke up this morning and said "I want to see Saving Private Ryan again." I've been saying for months they don't ever show that on TV, and that's wrong. So I go buy the movie today-and it comes on TNT. No big deal really, since I hate edited movies, but ironic nonetheless... I think SPR is probably the finest WWII film ever made, with the possible exception of Patton, or maybe The Longest Day (I love that movie). -------------

Did anyone else know the funny truth about Black Hawk Down? The US Government will approve war films and sometimes lend them vehicles to use for the films. This brings down the budget cost of the film and at the same time gives the US Military a 2-hour long advertisement. Cooperation approved. But the Pentagon did insist on one important change: the name of McGregor's character, a real-life Army Ranger named John Stebbins, couldn't be used in the film. Stebbins was one of the heroes of the battle of Mogadishu and won a Silver Star, but by the time the script was submitted for approval, he had been court-martialed for molesting a 12-year-old boy. The military didn't want anything to do with him, so McGregor's character was renamed Danny Grimes. ------------- |

Interesting. They probly dont want everyone remembering his as a hero. The people that have organizations that do things like create databases for sex offenders would deffinatly have a problem with a film depicting him as a war hero instead of a predator of little children, wich really, when i think about it, isnt really bad. The army was also ashamed of his actions. ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/DBibeau855/?chartstyle=myspacecolors">

The boot camp in FMJ was awesome-the rest of the movie was alright. Definately wasn't as realistic as SPR, but it's almost twenty years old. As far as Vietnam, Apocalypse Now and Platoon were pretty good, and We Were Soldiers was probably the most realistic as far as the combat. Hamburger Hill was terrible, as was the previously mentioned Green Berets. -------------
