as long as the managers to go to day, nothing ever change. you know, the banks pay huge fives and to watch the language of a bank is money. speaking the truth, global news that matters. d. w made for mines the war films are really away for people to transmit. a kind of history list almost every filmmaker. ultimately they want to make a war film. the ah,

just feel of the trenches at a state of war from silverspring, whether patriotic glorification or cautionary tale movies, shape or ideas about war. they tell stories of heroism and trauma wheelchair. where are the black soldiers on the cinematic battle field? and what role do women play in war movies? we put the film, john, right in our cross hairs 75 years after the end of world war 2. the me, most of us have never and hopefully will never go to war. our experience of battle comes from the movie. war has fascinated filmmakers from the star battle scenes push the technical limits of movie making

the news. over a century of cinema, war movies have become more intense, more realistic, and more violent the dog. but do they show us what war is really like? sam fuller, hollywood director and world war to veteran didn't think so. father, 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 mission at the audience or over the head of the audience. one of the 1st great war films was lose milestone plastic me all quiet on the western front. it was the 1st popular movie to pick the floors of

world war one all quiet on the western front. of course, a groundbreaking work was worse, and it shows the ugly sense of war upon my particular, on the mass that's on the western front. so you can get, the milestone was the declared passive, but even his movie makes war seem excited. and so you see the machine gun and then in reverse charge, you see the people that are being bo, down as though it was the camera itself. mo, in the people down the can 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 cinema was taken to the extreme in 1917 director sam mendez depicts his grandfather's experience in world war one. as a grand adventure, the in deer hunter sat half later in vietnam

war is not a fun adventure. the infamous game of russian roulette may or may not be historically act. for director michael camino russian roulette is a metaphor for how combat, really, the main element of combat is waiting because a firefight usually is fierce unbelievably saying, and is over in a very short time. and then you're either dead, you're paraplegic or you're alive. one of the 3 know in between when steven spielberg recreated the world war 2 d de landings in saving private ryan, he made it as visceral and violent as anything in the year 100. spielberg wanted to try to put the viewer exactly in the position of one of the

infantry soldiers, you know, who had bought his body was essentially, you know, a target. the viewer can feel the fear, the, the excitement, the pressure, the terrors, the nervousness, everything there is 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. the it's very uncomfortable for the viewer on finance who said at the same time in an almost perverse way. it's fascinating and it is because it's like going on a ghost. right. and the guys that we experience something that we're not really experienced during the ghost, right? we know the monsters aren't real. and then the movie, you know, the wars and real. this is the supreme moment of invasion. in the end war cinema remains, entertainment or cinema is never war. are movie, memories of battle become more visceral and more violent, but we're still

a long way from knowing what war is really like. oh they're both fascinating and horrifying films that are critical of war. ah, come in the morning. me spell but victory is one of the most close lines from a war film rather devolve physical commentary will kill go in apocalypse. now

the system shortly after he and his troops carry a helicopter attack. when it be made village accompanied by wagner, the ride of about cory's poplars, message of war, total madness, the country was arm. you could say that anti worked on a certain domes and would war never be justified because i should come, we have them in the contrast, in war films, doors may be justified, but they still do not say that war is beautiful or good. what's in the sand? they still show the horrors of war. he taught them on the 2nd side, the like the 2nd world war in the good. he doesn't precision and loyalty determined victory and defeat the director. robert august. the ends justify the means that almost the nazis early emanated. the

rambo learning center to 3 american prisoners almost single handedly. when he was in real life, the united states had loss. the rambo . what those people call the hell. he calls the dividing line between propaganda and patriotism between glorification and deterrence is very seen in many films similar to the american disaster. and who's more still, makers in hollywood to take a plea, stand against was fun. they were successful. all of the stone one for us because with platoon that kind of film really be anti or have a pass the message before the slow. so the problem with

a pacifist war, phil, is that this is a contradiction in terms the, 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 p t. and off we're shock and horror, but i think that only works by virtue of the narrative. you tell. strange story like the bridge is shut, audience is 15 years after the end of world war 2. with jim and society was an experience in economic miracle that he displaced all the memories of killing and dying book, ascension, that originally, that is especially suitable for young people. i mentioned that because it's about young people and they can identify incredibly well with all these character. i love you, but this is also an excellent film, an incredibly well performed film, same as well. you can start to use the speak, you don't even a holiday young's last the i'm going forward. you're not going to officers. i'm

kinda still, the boys don't listen and come to regret. then not only wanted to remember the 2nd mobile, he also wound him the film that spoke out against the media rearmament just a couple of years after the west german army had founded indirectly. it also has the questions about where the confrontation in the cold war was. eating, nothing should be forgotten and that the film was released in 196461 shortly before the cuban missile crisis, which the 3rd world war almost broke out, to beg, i'll skip off tenants malik is not interested in politics that philosophy in the thin red line, he depicts the battle in the pacific in 1942, from the perspective of nature. beautiful and disturbing. he seems to be asking, how can these things come and see is all the beauty and all the horror. films that

hardly expresses that war has no place on this planet. ah, many popular war movies were made in the usa. but how close to the hollywood version come to the real thing? ah, the most images of american soldiers and war have one thing in common. all the soldiers are white, the african americans fought in every american war. but black faces in battle have been almost entirely whitewashed 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 moore. but hollywood got its history wrong in 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 in business attics christmas. attics was the 1st a long line of african americans who served and died for their country after the 2nd shot. before you saw the fire, all hell break cleans in 2008 director spike lead all the story of the real life. 92nd infantry division, so called buffalo soldiers, who fought in italy in world war to pay for them. and these film was the 1st to show black americans in combat in glory. dental

washington place a soldier in the 1st all black company in the civil war. regular films with african american soldiers, front and center, are still the exception. stripes on like pits unable most studios on. and most filmmakers have been white males, and they've been telling a white male story. but with the black lives matter movement, the calls tell other stories have gotten louder as the calls for america to reckon with it's barry history. you think that black lives matter and all of that conversation now around social justice and historic reckoning is really productive . one. i think it's very, very educational. why were there not more stories about african americans put in the forefront? why were token representations ok, this is something that i think is a reckoning that has to happen. and it's a good moment to begin at telling the african american story changes the heroic

image of america seen in most war moving to black soldiers who fought patches, them abroad, came home to a very different country than their white counterparts. the contest winner, right. as long as the vic, no problem, so we just look into little iceland, us go back to something turning around back to my old nigger who i serve as my damn business. it was a hit was new step as you feed over there. you want me to eat, i love a trough in the backyard, like i'm some damping you want me to shoot you the down. me remembering that forgotten history can help white america understand where today's protests come from. me the last time you had

a curfew was 943. you know what the reason was a black told to come back the war to get killed by a cap. harlow went crazy. so these rights, not goofy. i don't. i'm not to get to what's the guys that were right? these uprisings don't come out of nowhere. the least new film shows african americans fighting and dying in vietnam while back home civil rights protest, rage the america has been here before. one step to imagine a different future will be to put black faces back into america's war history. mm. ah, excuse me. though women are rarely in the

foreground, war movies wouldn't be complete without them. ah, men interacting with men, men fighting men, men dying with. and because of men, war can seem like an exclusively male affair, and war movies, especially where the women they appear rarely, often only in the form of a photo or a memory or the desires of those on the front lines like this scene from 917 a male soldier loaning for his wife. they are something worth fighting for. what is the virtuous, you know, family member whose 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 been taken from her phone and clicks for him. tell from the war films are spectra, a counterpoint to the man's does another. this man is the middle gentle vice and human woman. this dish and the one the emphasize the hardness and humanity of male behavior. man, i just mentioned hired and speaker, and he should cover the with his swing shuttled to the should be the women symbolized goodness, the hospital nurses team and they sympathize and give comfort. they can also play

the role of restoring men for the next battle. therefore, keeping the war going, the women have on some level, a very conservative function. they are the loyal, you know, wife and mother who stay behind and wait for their husband to come back. they are the ones who keep the country and the family going. in the spielberg film, the mother is a strangely passive character. her grief is voiceless. a 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. your orders are going to bring you back. or i can't leave that where they're supposed to tell your mother. when they send her another folded american fly and tell her that when you found me, i was here and i was with the only brothers that i have left and there,

there's no way i was going to desert the for the son, colorado, re with his fellow soldiers trumps his mother's grief from somebody in times of war . sometimes a woman's role is symbolic, like when schofield meets the mother and child, something like mary and jesus figures on the left the. but as soon as the soldier leaves this apparently blessed scene, ceiling continues fallen for women embodied the war. and even in more films without pacifist undertone, states and women are hardly present in film, fix you ality. and especially homosexuality. a completely absent bodily contact happens only for the purpose of annihilation. women characters only rarely,

central misses. minerva shows the suffering of civilians, livings reward. here it's not a man who's the victim of battle, but a young woman. she dies in the arms of mrs. men of a very much an exception in this shondra. what during the last person demands these is usually a man, whether it's the 1st world war or vietnam. war also destroys those men who make it home alive. often they can't relate to their wives, can't understand what makes them tick. a return to normality is unthinkable. i'm not going to make excuses for what happened. what i'm saying. yeah. i do not belong

in this and are saying that i don't belong to the lack of women carrying since the one dimensional to think about war. could it be the result of decades of male dominated hollywood directing? i think it's an interesting question about what women directors will do when they get a bigger seated the table and a chance to make more films and to make more high budget films. so what i'm going to do something may have begun to change in the last few years. wonder woman signals unused direction. the woman goes ahead and battles. men follow. it's directed by a want to kathy jenkins. some have celebrated the film as a kind of feminist manifesto. but can there be such a thing as a feminist film? we're still waiting for her. so who are movies that rethink battle from the position of women? the woman is violent. hero doesn't seem like any kind of role model,

but it's likely hollywood will be giving us more in the future when the physical battle. and that's like a logical when begins how hollywood depicts the hidden wound that wars leave behind this. now on here to tell you that i have killed my country or whatever and i don't feel good about this one guy. he lied to me like my brother and no, i can't. i can't put the words to express the leadership of this government to that with the same message the united states, since it's people to ex, returning is now process time soldiers were allowed to talk about the war

trauma. they were not allowed to do that after the 1st or 2nd and also not after the korean war i shown foyce in coming home from 97999. on the 4th of july, the veterans returned home now confined to wheelchairs and found they got anything but a hero as well. in the vietnam era, people who returned put their uniform in the closet and never wore it again in public because the 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 films have really helped to process the trauma for veterans for americans who were not involved in the conflict, but may be opposed to. it feels treat the issues differently. one of the stones leads room for the possibility that there might be something worth going to room

show shoulder it was on the little bit different with a film like coming home, which primarily shows us that more is often associated with experiences that people never get over with the money that the war never really ends for the survivors off and the burden heavy pies 0 perhaps too heavy for one person alone to carry the answer in cotton. come one soldier chooses not to return home at all in apocalypse . now colonel role to play by mont and brandon loses his sanity, you must make a friend of horror, hard and moral terror. he takes his unit deep into the jungle to service his private army. so he can row free of any concept of morality. the character is used as a means to convey director frances ford couplers anti war message. these are films that have to really deal with

a kind of national hang over. the enthusiasm is over the wreckage and carnage of visibly clear. and how do you then deal with that bomer rather than use the cynicism to make his point in his fil, mash, immobile on the surgical hospital, looks after the wounded during the korean war. but the doctor's hearts and minds focus more on the attractiveness is there on football, is day away as keeping the pain and suffering the reality of what they faced every day in the operating. nothing is sacred to open, not even the image of the last supper, which he recreate for seen the movie. short is heard in this anti war film. but punch runs thick and maybe it is the best way to survive the war after all was well, you know, this is in this

war. movies are gripping both visually and emotionally. that's all for missed episode of arts 2175 years after the end of the 2nd world war. oh oh. i the who's
