Vince1159 Posted September 18, 2021 Author Share Posted September 18, 2021 (edited) That's the problem these days when it comes to war films there's no real accuracy,unlike your clip and Waterloo/Tora Tora Tora/Midway and other 60's/70's blockbusters,then again who could afford thousands of extras,just imagine how much it would be to recreate the battle from Waterloo...I have to admit though i didn't mind 1917 all in all it was entertaining...Another 50's classic...

593jones Posted September 18, 2021 Share Posted September 18, 2021 The trouble with '1917' is that, whilst entertaining, there were too many 'What the f....' moments in it. I mean, the two main characters, after creeping across no-man's land, through the enemy trench system, dugout, gun line find themselves at a farm. Shortly after, a lorry full of British soldiers turns up at the same farm. Where did they come from? The raging torrent of a river that the character jumped into - why, there isn't a river like that in that part of France. I could go on, but won't, don't want BM'ers rolling their eyes at this post. I think I should have posted this in the Grump section! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know what you mean it's not as though it would be difficult to do a bit of research to get major things like rivers right before they start filming... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A fine actor who was somewhat underrated in my opinion. Definitely a face that launched 1000 Nazis though!! It was a good film but, even better versions of the same story were "Anthropoid" and, "The Man With the Iron Heart", the latter with Reinhard Heydrich as the leading character. John Talking of Operation Daybreak (Anthropoid), On a recent visit to Prague I managed to find St Cyril's church where the Czech parachutists were holed up. I managed to get into the crypt. Very moving experience. 6 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
