Thought provoking movie
« on: April 30, 2004, 01:38:20 AM »
Normally I don't post things like this - but I was genuinely moved by the latest IL2 movie made by a fella named THX1138. Its a short preview of his work in progress. He has a talent at striking up emotions that for many have been long since devoid perhaps for 60 + years. His trailer brings out the true nature of war - not for how well the story was told but for what it ingrained in every sensor I had in my body, filling it with ...inspiration, and hope. This is a cartoon to some, but it has the strength of any great NOVEL and I encourage you to just take a chance... watch, and listen.

War fills you with inspiration and hope?
War! Never been so much fun. War! Never been so much fun! Go to your brother, Kill him with your gun, Leave him lying in his uniform, Dying in the sun.

Considering there was no shot of Tom Cruise saving those pommy buggers from a germanic rogering, it wasn't a bad vid

good video - He clipped those shots from a HIstory Channel special - IL2 looks so good it almost looks real.

I'm starting to feel and urge to discuss the Rugby World Cup again.

Anyway - I thought Tom Cruise was only going to show us how he saved Britain next year?

Bah. Didn't they do that with U-538 or something?  

 Either way I don't know if they'll be able to this years epic drama depicting a small band of merry, macho and very patriotic young American lads, lead by Brad Pitt, who help the bumbling and hapless Greeks conquer Troy.
