if she was really what she's going to get much if i did work for russia almost and not in your clinton were 2 part drunken entry analyzes the difficult relationship between russia and the us and between their presidents how does their rivalry and their dangerous mutual admiration affect the rest of the world to some bullies trump and putin starts august 3rd on d w. war films are really a way for people to transmit a kind of history lesson. almost every filmmaker ultimately they want to make a war film. the

feel of the trenches at a safe distance war on the silver screen whether patriotic glorification or cautionary tale movies shaped our ideas about war they tell stories of heroism. and trauma real change. but where are the black soldiers on the cinematic battlefield and what roles do women play in war movies we put the film genre in our crosshairs 75 years after the end of world war 2. most of us have never and hopefully will never go to war. our experience of battle comes from the movies. war has fascinated filmmakers from the start of. battle scenes to push the technical limits of movie making.

over a century of cinema war movies have become more intense more realistic and more violent . but they show us what war is really like. sam fuller hollywood director and world war 2 veteran didn't think so tall or who was sometimes in a bad mood would then say if you really wanted to film war you would have to actually fire real and you nation out of the audience are over the heads of the audience. one of the 1st great war films was the list milestones last like. all quiet on the western front it was the 1st popular movie to depict the floors of

world war one you know. it's also quiet on the western front because of course a groundbreaking work of course and this i think explains all it shows the ugly side of the war a fight in my particular on the mass deaths on the western front to get psyched to think the. most known was a declared pacifist but even his movie makes war seem exciting. and so you see the machine gun and then in a reverse shock you see the people that are being mowed down as though it was the camera itself mo when the people down he can't get out of this problem which is to say that he has to stage the very drama that he's also trying to criticize. the excitement of war cinemas taken to the extreme in 1917 director sam mendez depicts his grandfather's experience in world war one as a grand adventure. indeed hunter said half

a century later in vietnam war is not a fun adventure the infamous game of russian roulette may or may not be historically accurate for director michael chaney no russian roulette is a metaphor for how combat really feels. the main element of combat is waiting and there's a fire fight usually is fierce. unbelievably. insane and is over in a very short space of time. and then your eyes are dead. you're a paraplegic or you're alive. one of the through there's no in between i don't know when steven spielberg recreated the world war 2 d.-day landings in saving private ryan he made it as visceral and violent as anything deerhunter.

spielberg wanted to try to put the viewer exactly in the position of one of the infantry soldiers you know who had. you know but his body was essentially you know a target the viewer can feel the fear the. the excitement the pressure the terror the nervousness everything there's no other way that an audience would get that much of a strong impression of exactly what it was like to be in that battle. because it's very uncomfortable for the viewer and for can switch but at the same time in an almost perverse way it's fascinating and he said because it's like going on a ghost writer on the gods that we experience something that we're not really experiencing during the ghost rider you know the monsters are real and in the movie you know the war isn't real and this very moment i mean maybe in the end war cinema remains entertainment war cinema is never a war. movie memories of battle have become more visceral and more violent but

we're still a long way from knowing what war is really like sitting. there both fascinating and horrifying films that are critical of war. i love the smell of the pub in the morning. i spoke like that i. think. it's one of the most quoted lines from the war film robert duvall cynical commentry as will kill go in apocalypse now . he's come shortly after he and his

troops carry out a helicopter attack on a vietnamese village accompanied by wagner's ride of the valley ferries transport companies message is clear as total madness. plays. on campuses are you could say that i have a hard work illness from domes in which war can never be justified. calm they have them in the contrast from the war films idea wars may be justified but they still do not say that war is beautiful or good thoughts in the end they still show the horrors of war he talks them off the shock in the squeakiest side. like the 2nd world war in the dirty dozen decision and loyalty determine victory and defeat the direct over the ends justify the means as long as the nazis are only in a tit if. i mean rand i see this to

learn is sent to viet nam to free american prisoners gilmer singlehandedly losing me that in real life the united states had lost. rambo what people call the t.v. called the the. dividing line between propaganda and patriotism between glorification and deterrence is very theme in many films. that cover. the. the fallout from the american disaster in vietnam caused more and more filmmakers and hollywood to take a clear stand against war and they were successful oliver stone won for oscars with katun but can a film really be antiwar will have a pacifist message with all the slow something. the whole problem with

a pacifist war film is that this is a contradiction in terms. i think it's definitely possible to make war films in such a way that at the end of the film people are filled with what classic tragedy called pity and ah or shock and horror but i think that only works by virtue of the narrative if you tell a strong story like the bridge it shocked audiences 15 years after the end of world war 2 was german society was then experiencing an economic miracle that you displaced the memories of killing and dying the book is on from bridges and that is especially suitable for young people here from the back because it's about young people and they can identify incredibly well with all these characters but these are there's also an excellent film an incredibly well performed film for the most likable. i don't even know young's ice jam going forward official injury

but i gotta get out your pictures i'm going to contest all the boys don't listen and come to regret it deeply then i think he not only wanted to remember the 2nd movement he also hate that. is obama's the same film there was a film that spoke out against the media rearmament just a couple of years after the west german army had been found innocent women indirectly it also asking questions about where the confrontation in the cold war was leading us in thought it should be forgotten and the film was released in 196461 shortly before the cuban missile crisis for which the 3rd world war almost broke out at about 3 goals. tenants malik is not interested in politics but philosophy in the finrod line he depicts the battle in the pacific in 942 from the perspective of night shift. beautiful and disturbing shots he seems to be asking us how can these things co-exist all the beauty and

all the horror film could hardly express its military the war has no place on this planet. long. many popular war movies were made in the usa but how close does the hollywood version come to the real thing. most images of american soldiers in war one thing in common all the soldiers are white. african-americans have fought in every american war but black faces in battle have been almost entirely white washed from america's visual history. especially at the movies. john wayne is the

epitome of the american g.i. from world war 2 to vietnam hollywood has consistently shown the great white hero saving the world. but hollywood got its history wrong in not getting the true story . in fact the 1st american killed by the british at the boston massacre was a black man i was a black man. crispus attucks was the 1st in a long line of african-americans who served and died for their country. after the 2nd shot. him before you start a fire all hell breaks loose in 2008 director spike lee told the story of the real life 92nd infantry division the so-called buffalo soldiers who fought in italy in world war 2 thank. you for. fort. lee's film wasn't the 1st to show black americans in combat in glory denzel

washington plays a soldier in the 1st all black company in the civil war i don't want to read your films with african-american soldiers front and center are still the exception stripes on their. own of both. the most studio and most filmmakers have been white males and they've been telling a white male story i'm not but with a black lives matter movement the calls to tell other stories have gotten louder. as of the calls for america to reckon with its buried history. i think that black lives matter and all of the conversation now around social justice and historic reckoning is a really productive one i think it's very very educational why were there not more stories about african-americans put in the forefront why would i or token representation say ok this is something that i think is a reckoning that has to happen and it's

a good moment to begin it on the wall you know telling me african-american story changes the heroic image of america seen in most war movies black soldiers who fought fascism abroad came home to a very different country than their white counterparts. contest went right down. but it was long no problem so we just looking for some good advice laughs around bad gifts. for. they went back to. their grandma who are serving one damn bit it was a hitler steppers you feeding over the world with either love or trough in the backyard like i'm some damn pig only to shoot you were followed or i was a goddamned american. remembering that forgotten history can help white america understand where today's protests come from. i mean the last time your city had

a curfew was 1943 you know what the reason was a black soldier coming back from war 2 gets killed by a cop hard went crazy so these riots no excuse me i'm going to get to have with the guys that were right these uprisings. don't come out of nowhere. at least new film shows african americans fighting and dying in vietnam while back home civil rights protests rage. america has been here before one step to imagine a different future will be to put black faces back into america's war history.

the women are rarely in the foreground war movies wouldn't be complete without them . many interacting with men men fighting men and men dying with them because of men war can seem like an exclusively male affair and war movies especially so where all the women. they appear rarely often only in the form of a photo or a memory all the designs of those on the front lines like this scene from 1917 a male soldier longing for his wife. they are something worth fighting for what is the virtuous you know family member who's photo is in the pocket of the soldier who he looks at away from the front depictions of the mother figure like here in

spielberg's saving private ryan silently suffering she watches tragic news approaching. we see the fear in her eyes has another of her sons being taken from her. father and clips from. women in war films are spectral. a counterpoint to the manse that's imo the smugness it's the middle. in human minds the. they emphasize the hardness and inhumanity of male behavior as many. he took up with the with his. and the recycling shuffled. to show people. women symbolize goodness that hospital nurses she lives they sympathize and give

comfort they can also play the role of restoring men for the next battle they for keeping the war going. the women have on some level. a very conservative function they are loyal you know wife and mother who stay behind and wait for their husband to come back they are the ones to keep the country in the family going. in the spielberg film the mother is a strangely passive character her grief is voiceless time on screen less than 10 minutes she's already lost 3 sons to war now the last son james is to be sent home to minimize her anguish. you don't think. ours are bringing back so i can't leave that when they're supposed to tell your mother. and they send you another folded american flight. color when you found me. i was here

and i was with the only brothers that i had left and there was no way i was going to desert them. for the son camerata re with his fellow soldiers trumps his mother's grief and so it goes in times of war. sometimes a woman's role is symbolic like scofield's makes a mother and child something like mary and jesus figures. his own internet. oh far from it but as soon as the soldier leaves this apparently blessid scene the killing continues the following for calm and embody the costs of war and even in war films without pacifist undertones sense and. women are hardly present in the films sexuality and especially homosexuality are completely absent bodily contact

happens only for the purpose of annihilation. women characters are only rarely central mrs min of a shows the suffering of civilians living through war here it's not a man who's the victim of a battle but a young woman she dies in the arms of mrs min of a very much an exception in this genre and characters. damn. girl you. think. the last person a man sees is usually a man you know that whether it's the 1st world war or vietnam war will also destroys those men who make it home alive often they can't relate to their wives count understand what makes them tick a return to normality is unthinkable i'm not going to make excuses for what. what i found. i don't know. and therefore i am not i don't know.

what's led to the lack of women characters in the one dimensional perspective on me could it be the result of decades of male dominated only with directing. i think it's an interesting question about what women directors will do when they get a bigger seat at the table and a chance to make more films and to make more high budget films. now it's like i'm going to do. something may have begun to change in the last few years wonder woman signals a new direction the woman goes ahead into battle men follow it's directed by a woman most who likes cats and jenkins some have celebrated the film as a kind of feminist manifesto but can there be such a thing as a feminist fulfilled. we're still waiting for the war movies that rethink battle from the position of women who woman is violent war hero

doesn't seem like any kind of role model but it's likely to be giving us more of a future. lead. when the physical battle ends the psychological one begins how hollywood depicts the hidden wounds that wars leave behind. and now long here to tell you that i have killed for my country or whatever. and i don't feel good about. this war is wrong however to society like to be applied to my brothers and i can't i can't find the words to express our leadership of this government sickens me. to veterans with the saying. the united states since it speaks. to its soldiers. returning as parents now.

is the 1st time soldiers were allowed to talk about their war trauma they were not allowed to do that after the 1st or 2nd and also not after the korean war. in coming home from 1970 s. when children cruised in 1990 were feeling on the 4th of july the veterans return time now confined to wheelchairs and found they got anything but a hero's welcome card higher than in the vietnam era people who returned put their uniform in the closet and never wore it again in public because the you know people who protested against the war would criticize them and they didn't want to put themselves in that position so i think that these kind of felons have really helped to process the trauma for veterans for americans who were not involved in the conflict but may be opposed to it to feel st the issues differently one of the stones will drama leaves room for the possibility that there might be something

we're going to hear from you. shoulder to shoulder. at los alamos because i think it's a bit different with a film like coming home which primarily shows us that war is often associated with experiences that people never get over the money money that the war never really ends for the survivors and the burdens have it applies to happy for one person alone to carry. one soldier chooses not to return home. in apocalypse now colonel walter played by marlon brando loses his sanity you must make a friend of horror. and. he takes his unit deep into the jungle to service his private army so he can rule free of any concept of morality the character is used as a means to convey directive francis ford coppola's antiwar message.

these are films that have to really deal with a kind of national hangover and at the end those he has them is over the wreckage and carnage is visibly clear and how do you would then deal with that everyone oh mark robert altman uses cynicism to make his point in his film mash a mobo army surgical hospital looks after the wounded during the korean war but the doctors hearts and minds of focus more on the attractive nurses are on football it's their way of keeping the pain and suffering at bay the harsh reality of what they face every day in the operating theater is. nothing is sacred to outman not even the image of the last supper which he recreates 1st seen the movie a short is heard in this anti war film but punching run thick and fast maybe it is the best way to survive a war after all they're well. you know. visit yeah.

yeah it was a verbal. war movies are gripping both visually and emotionally that's all from this episode of arcs 2175 years after the end of the 2nd world war. yeah.
