FIRST (CAPITAL LETTERS)

My second post didn't come up? How many had family members on this beach in '44?

This video is brilliantly done like this version of FRANKIE GOES TO HOLLYWOOD and RICHARD HAMMOND stars in 1 of my fav shows BBC'S TOP GEAR

this is the only why to fight a war. The film was hard to watch.
amazing work.

So why do these movies cost so much to make?

3 actors 3 days = $200 million?

Now THAT......was an amazing piece of filmaking.

Shit, I wish I had the technical savvy to do this; I would love to have been able to recreate Juno Beach for the Canucks.

The Omaha Beach recreation was amazing, too.

wasn't juno a party? I think all the parot heads hit that beach.

This movie is way better than the remake of The War of the Worlds" movie I watched this weekend. I cannot believe how washed out the special effects were in this movie. If it wasn't for that little girls acting (Dakota Fanning) saving the usual non-acting Tom Cruise (worst actor in America), the whole mess would have been a total loss. Mr. Spielburg should be ashamed. The one made in the 50s was better.

Saw this documentary on BBC a couple of weeks ago. Harrowing story of course. I didn't think Hammond was the right man to do it - a bit lightweight - but he made a pretty good job of it.
Apparently Eisenhower allowed for 6,000 casualties at Omaha, and the final figure was around that. Very sad. Lots of tales of individual bravery, but ultimately a tremendous loss of young men.

And ya know what? In a somewhat related topic to this video?:

All I can say is:

It's about fuckin' time.

Canuck, anyone who hit any beach on that days has my upmost resp/appra. Bless them all.
But watch the movie was hard, I didn't go to the threater, The kids suggested a vid, so I could pause it.

That would have been Pointe Du Hoc if anything, Ive been to the beaches theres no cliffs on Omaha
