During this past weekend I have been watching a lot of of war shows and movies such as Band of Brothers, We Were Soldiers, and Saving Private Ryan. If I wasnt in AIS and hadnt discussed censorship and white washing I would have thought of them more realistic and accurate. While watching I felt the main message was to portray our soldiers as heroes rather than telling the complete honest truth. During one battle scene in Saving Private Ryan an American soldier stops to pick up and eat apples. Who in their right mind would eat while being shot at? Sure these movies give you a "feel good" feeling but dont you want to know the truth about what happened during war times? Dont get me wrong I love watching these kinds of things, they are quite entertaining but I just feel that directors and producers shouldnt white wash some of the most important events in our country's history.
