Opening scene: an Army unit LEAVES their covered, fortified position to charge an attacking enemy. In an open field...
As you would imagine, mass casualties happen. Then friendly planes start bombing and and crashing in said field??
That's not even remotely how that would have went down. Countless documentaries, were available but ignored. Sour taste right out the gate. Lost the trust of the audience.
This is what happens when people with no emotional connection to a subject matter are given a project they don't respect beyond the what they can gain from being associated with a project.
There are so many historians that would have gladly told the director it was a terrible way to portray that engagement.
