Kelly's Heroes - Filming Locations - Then and Now

[Radar363]

How awesome would 'Saving Private Ryan' have been if you didn't see any blood on Omaha Beach?

The movies are very different genres. One is an comedy/action film, the other is a docu-drama. They each have soundtracks appropriate to the type of movie.

I saw Saving Private Ryan at the theater when it came out & I've seen the different edited versions on TV and yes the realistic war violence (or lack of) is noticeable.
But the movie is a war drama, not a documentary.
Band of Brothers was more of a documentary as it portrayed real people and real events.

I agree that Kellys Heroes was more satirical and maybe even anti-war considering the year it was made but for me the soundtrack is a distraction.

Hence the term "docudrama." Admittedly more drama than documentary, since the central plot is fictional, while only the historical context is actual.

Band of Brothers was more of a documentary as it portrayed real people and real events.

Also considered a docudrama, although more documentary than drama.

I wouldn't change a thing about it.

And I can respect your opinion even if I have a differing one.

I also couldn't get into that Heath Ledger movie A Knights Tale, mostly because of the soundtrack.

Never seen it. Maybe I'll see if it's on demand next weekend.

You know, of course, it's actually a Vietnam War movie, right.
