I find it odd that you guys thought that movie was for the most part crap when its been widely reported that many of the men that were there at that time in history thought it was a very moving and realistic movie. Why is that? My great uncle was at Normany for the real storming of the beach, and he told me that after he saw this film it brought back nightmares he hadnt had since back then. I thought I had read somewhere that SPR was based upon fact. When families were losing all their sons in the war.
