@sonbuhitsunei That's well said. It reminds me of the way the elves in Middle-Earth talk about events thousands of years ago like they happened yesterday. Obviously Tolkien was aware of this, as I'm sure his experiences in the trenches felt like yesterday even as he worked on his mythology into his 80's.

All war veterans say the same things: war is terrible, they've seen things they try to forget. We should always remember that, and what he says about wars being political. People starting wars for utterly ridiculous reasons, over nothing, over who has the bigger toy in the sandbox.

So what's he's saying is...
War.. war never changes.

I'm from Poland and I'm proud that Mr. Lee was at Monte Cassino with the Poles. I didn't know about it before I watched this interview.

I'd love to just sit down and chat with Christopher Lee. He just reminds me so much of my late grandfather: everything from the voice to the looks and even, to an extent, his experiences in WWII. Great men...

@inkstersco Well, it's only "distant" history to us, because we were born after it happened - to him, it's just something that happened in his lifetime. The older you get, the faster time seems to go by, so to him, 60 years ago probably seems more like 20 or 30. My Grandma remembered quite well a lot about growing up in WWII Europe...and she didn't talk about it as if it were some ancient history, because when you live through it, it's part of who you are-it shaped you.
