Great unappreciated film!

[NotesCollector]

Yes, made almost 13 years ago! Happy New Year :)

i was wondering what was the song in the beggining going 'Here they come, here they come, here they come!!!"

[NotesCollector]

the song, "Over there" , was composed by the soldiers in World War One

[cameron120587]

@NotesCollector Actually "Over There" was composed in 1917 by the Broadway song and dance man George M. Cohen of New York, responsible for such hits as "Yankee Doodle Dandy".

[NotesCollector]

My mistake, I should have phrased it more clearly that the song " Over There" was composed FOR the soldiers of World War One, and it still is a classic ( if you cut out certain parts) that we still can relate to today :)

Besides the bad special effects, the film shows perfectly the extremely dire loneliness and coldness that was present in many units on the front lines. Band of Brothers shows the extreme exception to the rule, especially in late-war in Europe. This shows life as the normal dog-face cannon fodder GI. Nothing glorious.

Production Designer: László Rajk! A hungarian! I'm very proud! =D

Just finished it,This movie should be seen by all. This film hits harder than SPR. My Great Uncle was an MP in the Hurtgen,I know he wasn't a front line soldier but being he was there makes me proud

'Home before Christmas', thats a hoary little chestnut that never gets old, huh? lol

I like how I'm watching this this holiday season again. First seen this way back in Christmas Eve of 2000.

@Calriec So am I my friend. We don't need heroes. We need ones like them, and maybe, some of us will step up and after 'em too.

[Calriec]

@1stMarineCapt Well, I never had any relatives or friends who died in war, but I admire anyone with the courage and dedication to serve in the military.

[1stMarineCapt]

@Calriec You're right. They do. They always live within us, don't they?

[Calriec]

@1stMarineCapt Hopefully this film made at least some of the people who saw it realized how horrible war is and how grateful we should be to those who fight and die in the armed forces. They deserve our respect.

Some very brave men!!

@Soupa000 Artillery more than likely did that damage. It came from the German 88 or 8.8 cm shell. That was according to my grandfather a Army Air Corp Surgeon was a nasty round just like the MG 42 machine gun.
