British war movies are usually better than American war movies
Otis Willie PIO The American War Library
British war movies have generally been rated better than American war movies
because Brit war movies usually have no music scores... there are no bands
playing in combat...
Brits usually make realistic war movies... John Wayne was booed by soldiers at a
USO appearance because the soldiers believed Wayne's war movies deceived them
about the real horrors of combat...
And Brits usually avoid making fantasy war movies... during and after the
Vietnam War American studios pumped out no fewer than eight V'War POW rescue
movies... when in fact not a single American prisoner during the V'War was
rescued.
