@AustralianFalcon The WW1 zeppelins and their descendants the Hindenberg and the Graf Zeppelin were built of aluminum girders with fabric covering and gas cells inside. Their average size was 600-700 feet with the Hindenberg being the largest at 820 feet in overall length. I like your choice of music as I am a Nightwish fan.
Not the exact same sorts of blimps, no. The authentic blimps of the period weren't fashioned from fabric and steel like the full-size props in the movie; back during the war, the blimps were sewn-together stretches of whale-skin leather, supported on the interior by strong, sturdy redwood trunks, harvested from south Germany's Black Forest. Additionally, the real things were substantially larger; over four times the size. Due to monetary constraints, the movie built smaller.
good combination in theory but your timing isnt very good, all the heavy licks and even the solo come in during boring parts like mission briefings and at the funeral instead of intense dog fighting
Also, if it weren't for WWI, Germany wouldn't have gone into depression, and that could have stopped Hitler from getting power and ruining Germany and much of Europe.
This is exactly what I'm trying to get through to people.
Just because it's more recent, why should WWII be so much more important to us than WWI?
The other thing I'm trying to explain is that if you really look at it, the Germans and Austrian-Hungarians would the good guys.
Arch Duke Ferdinand, leader of Austria, was assassinated by a Serbian backed shooter, who also murdered his family. The following war between Austria and Serbia caused the rest of WWI.
the reason people dont like the movie is because all of the german tri planes where painted red... in real life only one was painted red specifically for some guy (forgot his name) but either way.... the movie was awesome... loved it! not to mention this video.. which rocked!!! i am a huge fan of nightwish.. when i mention them (here in america) most people are like.. "who are they?" they are wicked awesome. love their new album and singer
Great war movie! Scenes of batlles in the air are very like the real battles of that time. James Franco`s sincere and good play is great and very lifelike . I watched that film on TV also and I would say that I´ve not seen so good war film for a long time.
there were a few red ones like MvR brother luther had one that was red and it was also a way to scare the enemy i mean ive u no a plane thats red and has like 70 victories id be a little scared fightin him
But i think "Der Rote Baron" is a better move (The new one) cuz in flyboys ALL the germans have red triplanes, i know its a move but at least put a little realism in it. Cuz in reality there was only one german with a red triplane, each planes had a different design so one can identify who there wingman is.
i would mutch rather die from free fall that burn alive, either way it equals death, but he had to chose which way to die, they didnt issue parachutes then because the commanders thought the crew could just bug out if they got scared.
Not me, I would rather burn to ash in 5 seconds rather than splattering onto the ground in a red mess after falling for a couple minutes but that's just me.
I totally agree with you, the movie was fantastic and I didn't even hear about it... it was by chance that I found it in my videoclub and decided to watch it, just in case it would be good. I was not disappointed :)
My S.S. teacher showed part of the movie to us at the end of our WWI unit. Because of its length we only got up to the part where Beagle loses an arm before he told us if we wanted to finish it we had to rent it. I used my Netflix connections to its advantage and my family enjoyed the movie.
Hmmm... I could do with the last 3 but the first 2 I just have to call BS upon. There's a movie called Glory. Everyone loved it. It did magnificently at the box office. It had historical inaccuracies.
That being said 300 did awesome at the box office and Flyboys was more accurate compared to it.
If one likes dogfights that are happening in a kind of parallele universe, where the laws of physics and the technical limits of WWI planes have no meaning.....
So what, i know it's not realistic. i know it's not techinically possible. i know it's not accurate. I know it's not a documentary. I know the rest of the movie sucks.
but the dogfights look friggin cool. forget that the planes couldn't really do that for a second, and just admire the dogfight.
really? what are some names, im tryin ti find lost batallion on here and i cant find the movie, and i like that movie, and im tryin to finda good trench fighting world war one video
anyways ill have to check out blue max and aces high, if anyone wants to see All quiet on the Western Front i believe someone posted it on youtube somewhere ;)
The movie had nothing but eye candy, and even that had mistakes, like all red triplanes and the engine. This video uses a great song and works very well.
well, they didnt build custom planes for every individual soldier but they could paint things they wanted on it. so yea they all were the same. the songs retarded.
Not all Fokker DR.1 Triplans are red , when they build they all are green , when the plane go to pilots hands , they will change the color , like MvR's plane , it was a green plane , but he paint it to red .
Not so much pilot paint the plane to black , but some ace paint it to black .
PS: Even Voss use the green skin . So those plane must change the skin to green .
@chicagocubsforever More than once for those who survive the first time. No game can truly portray war especially a war that happened nearly a hundred years ago and for which the surviving veterans can probably be counted on one hand.
Perhaps the more you know about a topic, the harder it is to be impressed by a movie about it. Flyboys was HORRIBLE. It was the same old Hollywood slop with a WW1 aviation wrapper. The Blue Max, despite also not being extremely historical, was a very good movie, on the other hand. At least they were real planes flying in the scenes, not CGI like so much of Flyboys. Some day there will be a movie that does the topic justice.
You know what, you're actually right, mate. And you've admittedly kind of called by 'bluff', as it were. I don't know nearly as much about WWI as I ought to, so I can just overlook the discrepancies in the film simply because, well, I don't know them.
If there's a movie that finally DOES portray things properly, give a heads up, hey? Least I'd know I'd be watching something remotely accurate. ^_^
(Don't worry though, I know this much; the poor, 'outnumbered' American pilots image is rubbish.)
Scenes from that recent Red Baron movie look better with regards to equipment, but it is also not accurate about the man.
If you don't mind reading about it, I suggest finding a copy of "Flying Fury: Five Years in the Royal Flying Corps" by James McCudden, a 57 kill ace. He saw much of the progression of the war in the air first hand and was surprisingly accurate about his claims and combat memories (when compared to German records). His career would make a supreme movie or series. Regards.
To be fair, the Red Baron is virtually surrounded by folklore and legend; can you blame them for not getting him perfectly right? ^_^
And reading will do just fine! I believe I've even heard the title before in passing, but I'll try to track it down in earnest now. It sounds promising, if it's a first-hand account of information like that.
Indeed it is first-hand. He wrote it in the Spring of 1918 while an instructor in England and finished it 3 days before heading back to France to take command of 60 Squadron. I own over 20 WW1 aviation autobiographies from many nationalities, but his is probably the best.
He started as a mechanic in 1914, then a gunner in 1915-16 and F.E.2 pilot in 1916. Then flew as a fighter 1916-1918 flying DH2, Pups, and SE5's. He led the flight that shot down the famed Werner Voss. He also won the VC.
Written -during- the war? Well, at least there's no question about whether or not it was all still sharp in his memory, is there?
He sounds like a very dynamic figure, that one. The only thing I'm concerned with is whether or not there might be a tint of anti-Central Powers bias in his writing. Of course, that can be an interesting piece of historical information all in itself, if one knows how to separate it from the rest.
Then again, he sounds like a fairly level-headed man, to be honest.
It is funny you mention that, because he was actually criticized for being too respectful of the Germans. He says (can't remember the exact words) that the more he fights the Germans, the more he admires them. His summary of how Voss fought was particularly bursting with admiration and sorrow that he was not brought down alive.
Also very interesting is McCudden's predictions of how airpower will be in the future at the end of the book...it was quite accurate. He was an extraordinary man.
It's a funny thing, how that can happen. The more one is pitted against an enemy, the more one admires their tactics and determination. I can only imagine how well Voss and McCudden would have gotten along if they'd been able to sit and talk. The fact that he was so glowing about his accounts for the Germans sets me at ease for that; now I just have to watch out he doesn't praise them too much, hey? ^_^
To say he sounds extraordinary is almost an understatement; I will certainly look into him.
@norb1937 Absolutely. As soon as you lose respect for your enemies, things can become very ugly; it's how soldiers start to see their foes as less than human, which is nothing but a bad thing. That said, I spoke more in a historical context; having a bias - either positive or negative - is detrimental to actual historical accuracy when it comes to people who wrote about the topic at the time.
Of course, there's not a person on earth who is entirely unbiased, so it's all relative, to be fair.
I really enjoyed this movie. We watched it these past few days in history, and I think it's amazing. It may be historically inacurate at some points, but as a movie, it is definetly a favorite of mine now.
The red Baron wasn't even in the movie. And they butchered the German airplane accuracy. All the German planes were Red in the movie except the Black Falcon character's plane. In reality it was reverse.
BAKA!!! You know nothing of world war one. It is a know fact that all German Fighter Pilots flew red Fokker DR.1 Triplans. You may be right about the Red Baron not being in the movie, BUT, the Red Baron flew a black plane. He was called the Red Baron after the bird. The Red Baron is a very teritorial speciese of bird that kills any other bird that invades its teritory. So, I say it was the Red Baron, ALL THOUGH, I did hear them say something about A black falcon in the movie.
I hate to burst your bubble but just because you said I was wrong doesn't mean I'm wrong. You offered no supporting evidence in your comment that proved I was wrong and even if you hade evidence, you hesitated to use it meaning you are unsure of the credibility of your evidence. It is a well known fact in the historical society that the Germans in WW1 flew red Fokker DR.1 Triplanes. I don't know much about the Red Baron except that he was named for the dird. P.S. only queres use emoticons. lol
incorrect it was left to individual pilots to decided upon there own colours black was a common choice as opposed to your view of, "It is a known fact that all German Fighter Pilots flew red Fokker DR.1 Triplans".
it is a known fact that all German fighter pilots had a wide variety of paint schemes, such as blue, greens and checkered patterns and this was applied to all types of german aircraft
This movie ignored the developement of war movie making and war-story writing of the last 50 years.
This movie was an offence to all pilots of WWI, to logic, to reality and to the grown up movie audience.
It was an experiment about:
how many worn out warmovie clichees, clichees in general,massive historical and technical inaccuracies,anoying hero-bugle-background scores,cringeworthy hero dialogues, unbelivable love stories on a pre-teenage-level
Then go watch something else. If you think you can make it better, by all means, become a movie writer. Complaining does no good AFTER the movie is finished.
Ah indeed, I see where you're going. It does make me wonder about this movie now o_O
And do let me sincerely apologize once more. Emotions interfere with my reasoning and logic, as you can plainly see rofl It may sound cheezy, but it's true for me to say the least.
Flyboys was on the same low level like the terrible movie U-571.
It´s as if the makers of Flyboys and U-571 are thinking about the audience: "Well, they are stupid anyway. And the rest are children fresh from the Kindergarten".
I don´t like the idea that some people are making money with the concept:
"Let´s make wild unrealistic action and weird history falsification storylines for silly people and children".
Not to mention the disrespect for the real soldiers and their stories.
Yeah, that probably derives from the idea that they don't want to make it just another history movie, but then they go too far and it just ruins the movie and its historical references all together.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
People, u still got to admit the ending was good, yet fictional. WE all know that a brit shot him in the heart with a sniper rifle.... DAMN GOOD SHOT,or was it a machine gun????
You needed only 5 kill to be ace in WW1, that its a real ACE ,remember that was the first Aircraft in the wolrds in 1914-1918 , that was news,and they had no radio,communication was with Hand symbol. The first allied aircraft needed to stop Engine for fire,but germans do better MG who can shoot with out stop engine!
All germans pilot had skill in combat , lot of experience during Russian fronts, during French fight, American pilot or french pilot sucked dick comparate supreme air dog fight against Germans.
Ok, they exaggerated history. When Jasta 11 (Richthofen´s Unit) received their first Fokker Dr1´s almost all were painted less or more in red with individual differences. Richthofens first Dr1 for example was painted 50%-50% in green and red, he had all in all 4 different paint schemes.
Some time later, most aeroplanes of Jagdgeschwader (JG)1 (Jasta 4, 6, 10 and 11) had some of their parts painted in red as a help for identification and coherence.

Additionally, the real things were substantially larger; over four times the size. Due to monetary constraints, the movie built smaller.

Perhaps the more you know about a topic, the harder it is to be impressed by a movie about it. Flyboys was HORRIBLE. It was the same old Hollywood slop with a WW1 aviation wrapper. The Blue Max, despite also not being extremely historical, was a very good movie, on the other hand. At least they were real planes flying in the scenes, not CGI like so much of Flyboys. Some day there will be a movie that does the topic justice.

You know what, you're actually right, mate. And you've admittedly kind of called by 'bluff', as it were. I don't know nearly as much about WWI as I ought to, so I can just overlook the discrepancies in the film simply because, well, I don't know them.
If there's a movie that finally DOES portray things properly, give a heads up, hey? Least I'd know I'd be watching something remotely accurate. ^_^
(Don't worry though, I know this much; the poor, 'outnumbered' American pilots image is rubbish.)

Scenes from that recent Red Baron movie look better with regards to equipment, but it is also not accurate about the man.
If you don't mind reading about it, I suggest finding a copy of "Flying Fury: Five Years in the Royal Flying Corps" by James McCudden, a 57 kill ace. He saw much of the progression of the war in the air first hand and was surprisingly accurate about his claims and combat memories (when compared to German records). His career would make a supreme movie or series. Regards.
SSchultz82 3 years ago
To be fair, the Red Baron is virtually surrounded by folklore and legend; can you blame them for not getting him perfectly right? ^_^
And reading will do just fine! I believe I've even heard the title before in passing, but I'll try to track it down in earnest now. It sounds promising, if it's a first-hand account of information like that.
Thank you for the suggestion, mate. Cheers.

Indeed it is first-hand. He wrote it in the Spring of 1918 while an instructor in England and finished it 3 days before heading back to France to take command of 60 Squadron. I own over 20 WW1 aviation autobiographies from many nationalities, but his is probably the best.
He started as a mechanic in 1914, then a gunner in 1915-16 and F.E.2 pilot in 1916. Then flew as a fighter 1916-1918 flying DH2, Pups, and SE5's. He led the flight that shot down the famed Werner Voss. He also won the VC.
SSchultz82 3 years ago
Written -during- the war? Well, at least there's no question about whether or not it was all still sharp in his memory, is there?
He sounds like a very dynamic figure, that one. The only thing I'm concerned with is whether or not there might be a tint of anti-Central Powers bias in his writing. Of course, that can be an interesting piece of historical information all in itself, if one knows how to separate it from the rest.
Then again, he sounds like a fairly level-headed man, to be honest.
AustralianFalcon 3 years ago
It is funny you mention that, because he was actually criticized for being too respectful of the Germans. He says (can't remember the exact words) that the more he fights the Germans, the more he admires them. His summary of how Voss fought was particularly bursting with admiration and sorrow that he was not brought down alive.
Also very interesting is McCudden's predictions of how airpower will be in the future at the end of the book...it was quite accurate. He was an extraordinary man.
SSchultz82 3 years ago
It's a funny thing, how that can happen. The more one is pitted against an enemy, the more one admires their tactics and determination. I can only imagine how well Voss and McCudden would have gotten along if they'd been able to sit and talk. The fact that he was so glowing about his accounts for the Germans sets me at ease for that; now I just have to watch out he doesn't praise them too much, hey? ^_^
To say he sounds extraordinary is almost an understatement; I will certainly look into him.

@AustralianFalcon Sometimes one's enemies deserve more respect than one's allies.
norb1937 1 year ago 3
@norb1937 Absolutely. As soon as you lose respect for your enemies, things can become very ugly; it's how soldiers start to see their foes as less than human, which is nothing but a bad thing. That said, I spoke more in a historical context; having a bias - either positive or negative - is detrimental to actual historical accuracy when it comes to people who wrote about the topic at the time.
Of course, there's not a person on earth who is entirely unbiased, so it's all relative, to be fair.

The red Baron wasn't even in the movie. And they butchered the German airplane accuracy. All the German planes were Red in the movie except the Black Falcon character's plane. In reality it was reverse.
grizzlyXgundam 2 years ago 3
BAKA!!! You know nothing of world war one. It is a know fact that all German Fighter Pilots flew red Fokker DR.1 Triplans. You may be right about the Red Baron not being in the movie, BUT, the Red Baron flew a black plane. He was called the Red Baron after the bird. The Red Baron is a very teritorial speciese of bird that kills any other bird that invades its teritory. So, I say it was the Red Baron, ALL THOUGH, I did hear them say something about A black falcon in the movie.

I hate to burst your bubble but just because you said I was wrong doesn't mean I'm wrong. You offered no supporting evidence in your comment that proved I was wrong and even if you hade evidence, you hesitated to use it meaning you are unsure of the credibility of your evidence. It is a well known fact in the historical society that the Germans in WW1 flew red Fokker DR.1 Triplanes. I don't know much about the Red Baron except that he was named for the dird. P.S. only queres use emoticons. lol
woundedrebel117 2 years ago
incorrect it was left to individual pilots to decided upon there own colours black was a common choice as opposed to your view of, "It is a known fact that all German Fighter Pilots flew red Fokker DR.1 Triplans".
it is a known fact that all German fighter pilots had a wide variety of paint schemes, such as blue, greens and checkered patterns and this was applied to all types of german aircraft
P.S.

I also liked this movie, but the Red Baron is more boring, but much more realistic
Flyboys has to many "every german fighter was a red Fokker Dr1 triplane"
But their should be more Dogfights Movies instead of shit like Madagascar 2, Ice Age and so on

TOTALLY!!! Right on 'bout the Fokker Dr1 triplane thingg!! Dogfight movies are WAY better than the Madagascar shit!!!

This movie ignored the developement of war movie making and war-story writing of the last 50 years.
This movie was an offence to all pilots of WWI, to logic, to reality and to the grown up movie audience.
It was an experiment about:
how many worn out warmovie clichees, clichees in general,massive historical and technical inaccuracies,anoying hero-bugle-background scores,cringeworthy hero dialogues, unbelivable love stories on a pre-teenage-level
one is able to cramp into one single movie.

Then go watch something else. If you think you can make it better, by all means, become a movie writer. Complaining does no good AFTER the movie is finished.

How is that, ZakeirSnake?

Ugh, sorry, I was in a bad mood. It's just been one of those days, ya know? =_= And thank you for stating my name btw, you're the first lol?
I really just want to know why you think the movie is so bad? Like specifics. I thought it was pretty good, but that's just me.
This time I'll actually listen to both sides before I make a criticism, hehe...
ZakeirSnake 3 years ago
That sounds good, ZakeirSnake.
Flyboys was massive historically and technically inaccurate. It was for me like watching a weird phantasy parallele-universe.
But worse than the historical and technical errors was the invented storyline and the massive chlichee-overkill.
You can bring in some clichees in war movies. SOME!
But you can´t take the WORST clichees of war-movie history and cramp them ALL into one single movie.
Flyboys did that....and it was so very annoying to watch the result.
megatwingo 3 years ago
Ah indeed, I see where you're going. It does make me wonder about this movie now o_O
And do let me sincerely apologize once more. Emotions interfere with my reasoning and logic, as you can plainly see rofl It may sound cheezy, but it's true for me to say the least.
ZakeirSnake 3 years ago
Flyboys was on the same low level like the terrible movie U-571.
It´s as if the makers of Flyboys and U-571 are thinking about the audience: "Well, they are stupid anyway. And the rest are children fresh from the Kindergarten".
I don´t like the idea that some people are making money with the concept:
"Let´s make wild unrealistic action and weird history falsification storylines for silly people and children".
Not to mention the disrespect for the real soldiers and their stories.
megatwingo 3 years ago
Kind of like Gladiator, eh?
Yeah, that probably derives from the idea that they don't want to make it just another history movie, but then they go too far and it just ruins the movie and its historical references all together.

You needed only 5 kill to be ace in WW1, that its a real ACE ,remember that was the first Aircraft in the wolrds in 1914-1918 , that was news,and they had no radio,communication was with Hand symbol. The first allied aircraft needed to stop Engine for fire,but germans do better MG who can shoot with out stop engine!

Ok, they exaggerated history. When Jasta 11 (Richthofen´s Unit) received their first Fokker Dr1´s almost all were painted less or more in red with individual differences. Richthofens first Dr1 for example was painted 50%-50% in green and red, he had all in all 4 different paint schemes.
Some time later, most aeroplanes of Jagdgeschwader (JG)1 (Jasta 4, 6, 10 and 11) had some of their parts painted in red as a help for identification and coherence.
