Just about everyone in my class was faster than me at understanding new concepts and I would always be among the last to finish a test. They would only require one explanation or demonstration from the teacher, whereas I would require two or three to understand it. That learning disability at play.

Is that a movie?
I miss so many good movies over here.

Yeah. It's not good though. I was playing with Spielberg being good. He is, but that movie was pure Oscar bait. Schindler's list is his best.
 
Jurassic Park. I love dinosaurs.

If any of you are interested in WW2 films, I highly recommended Downfall. It's a German film that has English subtitles.
 
I'm going to see Guardians 3 in about 30 min. Been waiting years for this. We finally get Cosmo in a movie

They let you watch that in history class?

Right.
It was too realistic.
It's the effect Spielberg wanted...
but not the effect I wanted.

It was so realistic that a WW2 veteran who went to the theater to see the film had to leave. He was having flashbacks.

Fury is another great WW2 film about a US tank crew. It is the only period film that uses a real German Tiger tank. The one you see in Saving Private Ryan is actually a Russian T-34 dressed up like a Tiger.

We Were Soldiers is the best Vietnam film I've ever seen. Did you know that film got criticised for being too accurate? Film critics said it portrayed the US soldiers in a corny way. They claimed that the dying soldiers who's last words were "Tell my wife I love her" was corny. But that's actually what those men said in real life. In real life and death situations, you don't spit out one liners or say something ironic.

I attempted to watch We Were Soldiers but I didn't make it. Don't watch those films anymore.

A dying person thinks of what he's leaving that he loves the most. Or of who might miss him the most that he's leaving.

Tell my wife I love her...
Covers both.

Those words, and similar, were repeated many times on 9/11.

Film critics are corny.

I don't either . A few years back I was reading quit a few W.E.B. Griffin military novels and after I dreamed of fighting in the jungles all night that was all for me . I did learn some things from the novels but maybe that is knowledge God decided I don't need .
