Carly is back! After this one, she may never watch one with me again though :/ This was definitely heavy and hard to watch at points. I wish Carly could have joined me for one of the other war movies that I had watched like Hacksaw Ridge maybe, this one didn't have the moments of heart warm or brotherhood like I felt in others I had watched. I obviously know war is never happy, but for some reason, although still emotional, I felt others were more impactful in the characters and storytelling. It was definitely still gripping and showed the hardness and rawness of war. I thought all the actors did great and I can appreciate it and I had not seen anything from the tanker's point of view.

TITANIC for the sisters duo reaction

Maybe you can rewatch hacksaw ridge with carly, i think it's a good one, i wouldn't mind if we'd see another reaction of the hacksaw ridge with carly. BoB or the Pacific might be a bit long

One of the team was in the Pacific Sgt. Manuel "Manny" Rodriguez who got killed on Guadalcanal. https://thepacific.fandom.com/wiki/Manuel_Rodriguez

Good reaction you two. My great uncle was a supply deliverer for Patton's army in Germany. This depiction of war is very accurate, if not toned down a bit. He drove a truck which was on fire one time because as he said, "they needed the supplies damnit, we couldn't stop." There was a reason Patton was called "blood and guts.

As you watch this movie, if you listen closely, you can hear references to the vehicle, still in use today, that speak to the very earliest days of the development of the tank. This is all the way back to WWI.

Lamar Smith

In fact, that we call these vehicles ‘tanks,’ was part of the secrecy. When asked what the vehicles were, people in the know responsible for building or transporting them were instructed to respond that , “They’re water tanks to bring water to the soldiers at the front.” They obviously are not that, but the name stuck. Decidedly nautical terms have always been associated with tanks. Norman’s position in the tank is called both ‘Assistant Driver,’ but also ‘Bow Gunner.’ Bow is a nautical term for the front

Lamar Smith

Huge kudos to Carly for making it through this, even more so for knowing that if the movie took place in 1945, the war would soon be over. A fine product of the Canadian educational system. Most Americans wouldn’t know that.

Another movie selection for a war movie is U-571. It's a submarine movie and while hey took a little creative license they always limited themselves to things that could have happened. Another good one is Operation Petticoat with Cary Grant, more of a comedy but everything that happens to the sub actually did happen o several subs in real life... just not all at once like in the movie :)

If I may suggest another film in the war genre, you might like "We Were Soldiers"; Mel Gibson and Sam Elliott star in the true story of the first major US battle of the war in Vietnam. The film also does a fine job of presenting the war from the North Vietnamese point of view.

We were soldiers is a gore fest.. Good movie but brutal...

Fun fact: There is only ONE original Sherman Tank left in the world that still runs with it's original parts - no modern repairs. The Director wanted as authentic a tank as possible for the actors to use (and they were given FULL training to use one). That last tank is owned by a private owner in England and he REFUSED to let the crew transport it overseas just in case the worst should happen and it's transport ship would sink or it's cargo plane would crash or it's lorry would be in a collision. So all the filming with the tank took place on a farm near the owner in Oxfordshire, literally 20 mins drive up the road from me, in fact my brother's fiancé's brother is a well known film extra and appeared in this film (he's the German soldier who gets run over (twice!) as the machine gunner and at the end as an SS soldier.

Very raw, heavy, impactful movie. Cassie, you had a thousand yard stare when the movie was over. Carly I was impressed how well you handled the movie. It's a hard movie to watch. I didn't think you would make it all the way through it. Great reaction ladies.
