This comment is in response to former reviews.
The negativity in a few of these reviews are gut-wrenching and I honestly can't understand why I'm surprised. Sensationalism? Fat white man? Seriously?
This is a story telling film.. Yes there are reenacted segments. It's a story telling of this one particular story. Just as Saving Private Ryan was. What is the problem with that? There is none! Or there shouldn't be. Complaints about not finding actual German soldiers for the film is quite shallow.. How about the Germans that were children at the time of the war that gave eyewitness accounts to what they saw? You failed to mention the gentleman that began to sob from giving his account..
Sadly, from some of these reviews, it seems that history should only be told as long as it fits what you want it to be and not for what it was. Unfortunately this way of thinking is a complete parallel to how Americans think... Believe even. Revisionist history at its finest... How about being upset for what George Schomo said at the end of the film? Of course not. That wouldn't phase you in the least bit..
You all must have been fantastic students during your educational years.
While plenty of reviewers try to channel their inner Gene and Roger, a small few need to not. I'll be excited to see just how long it takes before I get the 1st Amendment argument thrown my way. 3...2..1.
