9/10
Authenticity and realism
11 October 2016
I watched a couple of years ago, rated it 9, but couldn't remember much, so watched it again yesterday, and the extras on the DVD which adds quite a bit to the whole experience.

This might seem odd, but I am impressed with the absence of the crude MF language which I have NEVER heard a real person say, and which is so prevalent in a lot of other war movies.

The first part, on June 6, 1944, is awful in its realities. This is what those guys went through, and again at the very end, hand to hand fighting in the village. We see the fear and dread in the Jeremy Davies character.

My only tiny adverse comment might be about the scenes at the war graves place. The green stuff looks like astro-turf and the head stones look like polystyrene!
