***Maybe I'm missing something, but I feel like you're knocking it almost a priori for its content on the basis that Normandy battle-vets are liable to be moved by it a priori for its content.Not at all. I am 'knocking' if you will the attempts at using the vet's reaction as some proof of film's quality. As I said, that reaction has more to do with the history and events rather than the way it is being portrayed. When it comes to events to which we have strong emotional attachment the artistic means almost don't matter, as long as they are within reason.
How would I do it I don't know. I guess that is why I am not a script writer or director. But I have seen enough films to know it can be done differently, and most importantly, it concerns the ways in which the horrors are related.
Yes, when the bullet hits the body we all react. But many great directors have been able to convey the shock, the horror, the fear, etc, without actually resorting to plastic guts and red paint.
I am pulling this at random, but for instance the final scene of Gallipoli has as much grip and horror, yet there is no actual bullets and open wounds. And somehow it becomes more effective.
