I saw this movie when it first came out when I was in third grade (1980) and was already obsessed with WWII. I thought it was a very cool movie! Flash forward about 27 years. A few years ago I got it from Netflix because I hadn't seen it in so long. Well, I was sorely disappointed! The plot did not age well with a quarter century! Let's just say that by some freak happenstance, you were shot back in time just before Pearl Harbor (that is the premise of the movie; the aircraft carrier Nimitz goes back in time.) I certainly wouldn't even be tempted to interfere with the Japanese attack. For as long as I could, I would try to get back home and not jack-up the time line I had grown accustomed with. Apparently that doesn't bother those on the Nimitz and so they decide to thwart the attack. And just as they do. . . Oh! Never mind! there's the vortex that sent us here, let's go!
I probably shouldn't have tried to watch it again, and it would have always been a really cool movie in my memory!
YES MY CAPTAIN !!
At you now !
Please not too difficult that I can finally have the chance to find!
YOU DO NOT TILT OR MOVE THE fLAG. iT IS ALWAYS CARRIED STRAIGHT UP.
This may be a hint, but the Marines in question here are at double time. That is why the colors are at an angle.
DIDN'T SEE A LINK TO SHOW CASSINO. JUSTANOLDDOGGIE---
Are you talking about the 1944 documentary? I couldn't find a film called "Cassino". I imagine you don't need to see the movie having seen it in person. This is from the Wikipedia entry on the 34th: The performance of 34 Division in the mountains is considered to rank as one of the finest feats of arms carried out by any soldiers during the war. In return they sustained losses of about 80% in the Infantry battalions.
As for this jar-head, I'm just glad we never had to face anyone like the Whermacht or Fallschirmjäger here in Iraq.
