Review of The Great Raid (2005) by Yiayia — 10 Mar 2019
A movie of History. I've been a WWII movie buff since I was a kid, but I have never seen this movie until 2016. I was glued to my TV. I am of Philippine/Greek background. My father born and raised in the Philippines escaped the Philippines when Japan invaded the Islands.
He became an engineer on a Merchant ship and came to America where he married my mother. My Uncle was in the Death March and was one of a few that survived. That is why this movie has so much meaning to me.
This generation of young people need to know who they are and where they come from. They need to know of history. I am so thankful for those who bring this kind of films to the world. May we all be reminded of the cruelty and injustices of nations who wish to rule over other nations.
