Review of The Real Glory: Reconstructing 'The Big Red One' (2005) by Ionn M — 08 May 2009
A phenomenal, humanist portrait of soldiery. The grandfather of modern humanist war films like "Jarhead" and "Generation Kill". This one has the benefit of asking the same ethical questions in a war descendants of these warriors perceive as unquestionably just.
Notice how differently WWII is portrayed by the people who actually fought in it. Contrasts sharply with the "heroism" icongraphy in films like Saving Private Ryan and especially Band of Brothers.
