Steven and Hangtime, IMHO well said. It is disturbing to me to see the way this movie is being picked apart by those concerned. I went to see it Saturday night. I went after a friend told me about the historical inaccuracies and substitutes used in the movie. But the difference is, I went and looked from unbiased eyes, not eyes that have spent the better portion of his life restoring Warbirds. What I saw was a film that IMO was meant to be able to offer something to include all, to spark enough interest that maybe, just maybe, more questions might be asked. If just a few young people are intrigued enough to learn more about the past of this country, then I am all for it. Regardless of the love triangle or not, (was love not around in WW2) and the lack of people crawling through their own entrails, I feel the movie was and should have been sanitised so that the younger generation can look at it without having to relive those moments as dreams of horror. As my father often told me, "I did not goto war for glory, I went so you would never have to." That is enough for me. I have seen SPR, and feel that that film told a story in it's way, PH did in it's way too. The debate here should not be about which is better, instead, IMO, it should be about lessons learned, lives lost, and cherished memories of a kinder, more honorable, and integrity filled time.
