Message: [QUOTE="HuskyHawk, post: 4549949, member: 1414"] It’s a WWII weekend. [B]Fury[/B]. Brad Pitt, Shia Lebouf, John Bernal. Late stages of WWII a Sherman tank crew struggles to stay alive while completing some key missions. There’s not much armor left in the theater and they were talk the Germans are out of Tiger tanks. It’s a bit long but there are good performances all around and it shows the savagery of war. Apparently an old tank guy says it’s extremely realistic. They used real Shermans and the last Tiger in existence. Solid 3/5 [B]The Forgotten Battle[/B]. Dutch, but in English and German as well. Everyone speaks what they would have, which is how it should be. Terrific acting, and Susan Radder who plays a young Dutch woman, will be a star. This tells of operation Market Garden. A bold move post D-Day to fly troops behind the lines in an effort to free up a port in Holland so the Allies could land troops deeper in Europe. It‘s centered on Zeeland, an area of islands and marshes, and starts with focus on the local Dutch, British & Canadians in the UK and a soldier fighting for the Germans in Russia. Those personal stories converge in Zeeland. Unlike American movies, the focus here is what the war did to people, civilians and soldiers alike. Personal sacrifice is the theme and it’s a terrific tale of a critical part of the war we don’t hear much about. Highly recommended. 4/5 [/QUOTE]
