Yes I really love these self acclaimed experts, seems that a lot of people become experts on everything when they post on the internet. When I listen to the film critics telling me how bad a movie is I make sure to go and see it and usually end up liking it.
If you remember the movie Paschendale, it was also criticized , for having too much romance.!!!! In most movies today, the ammunition budget for the movie is bigger than the Cdn military ammo budget. More bang less facts.
We need to have our heros immortalized, Canadians as a whole know very little of their heros and movies will educate them.
Today I read the story of the last Cdn WWI vet had died at 109, the family was offered a state funeral but it was refused, probably on request of the veteran. If I read the article right he joined at 15 and was sent to a young soldier batalion because of his age and never fought. How many people knew we still had a WWI veteran? Very few they were all busy playing video games.
