My grandfather was not afraid of anything. ![]() War is hell and this movie not only shows that while being an entertaining experience but also captured what soldiers are left behind with. Which makes me appreciate how strong of a person he really is. I watched the movie a dozen times now and keep it in my collection as a reminder of my grandfather. I'm not sure if he ever did finish watching it but he appreciated it for capturing that chaos like no other movie has before. Whether or not the story is based on real or fiction, that intro was 100% realistic. He said no movie has come that close to capturing what that day was like. But Saving Private Ryan was a respectable "I can't watch this" reaction. Maybe I'll give that movie a good ripping one day. And they most definitely know how to swim. Soldiers don't take girlfriends on private plane rides. He had a friend stationed there who lost his life and thinks that movie is a disgusting display of ignorance. He absolutely hated Pearl Harbor cause of the horrible way they portray the military to be a bunch of toothbrush wielding babies who don't know what to do in the event of being attacked. Some about that soldier life never really leaves them I guess. Before he passed away he did an interview with a local newspaper and detailed what he saw despite it being very difficult for him to speak about. ![]() ![]() He told us a lot of war stories but rarely ever spoke about that day. He was apart of Operation Neptune and stormed the beaches of Normandy. My grandfather fought in WW2 somehow surviving D-Day.
