Saints and Soldiers

[Walt's Daughter]

Here is more on that famous quote:

War, someone said, is long periods of intense boredom punctuated by short periods of intense fear. What helps you get through the fear is concentrating on what you have to do, fire a weapon, deploy a squad, whatever.

 

This quote and many like this are repeated throughout many wars. Was just reading an interesting article that started off with the civil war and went through modern history. All the men reiterated the same. Same feelings, just a different war.

 

I for one think it's great when movies take the time to reflect both sides of warfare. That is realistic. Unfortunately many movie watchers, especially the younger watchers, can't seem to accept this. If things aren't blowing up all the time, then they lose interest. That is sad.

 

Saints and Soldiers portrays both sides and that is why I enjoyed it so much.
