Movie Review: "WE WILL BLACKEN YOUR SKIES AND BURN YOUR CITIES TO THE GROUND AND WIPE YOUR DIRTY LITTLE EMPIRE OFF THE FACE OF THE EARTH"
Summary: 5 Stars
This is an inspiring movie to ALL Americans at this stage of the war vs Japan...in reality, three [3] of the captured USAAF crew were beheaded, others tortured unmercifuly...3 survived at war's end...with the release of, "The Purple Heart" at Christmas time [1944] well after the Gen Doolittle raid in April 1942, it hit home and in our hearts to the heroics of our courageous United States Army Air Force and Naval Forces in harm's way...this movie depicts Japan for all of her quick grabs in the Pacific War; yet, Japan was wide open and vunerable to air attack...it helped lift our morale to perservere, sacrifice and no more surrenders, ultimately paving the way for Japan's unconditional surrender forevermore in Aug/1945...it was NOT a propaganda movie; conversely, a cornerstone film for total victory over Japan who was our most formidable and cunning enemy we ever faced on the sea and on the land...Dana Andrews stirring lecture to that Japanese judge rang true as the "USAAF will blackened your skies, day and nite we'll come to burn your cities to the ground and wipe your dirty little Empire off the face of the earth"...that was a TRUISM and justly so...sadly, today's liberal Americans can't relate or comprehend to just what a UNITED effort it took to bring the Japanese Militarists to extinction in Aug/1945...the Japanese got what they readily deserved with A-Bomb interest...this movie was a harbinger of what was to come to the home-islands of Japan...WW2 was a great American lesson to America's enemies...I loved this wartime 1944 film about wartime April/1942....SSGT CHRIS SARNO-USMC FMFMovie Review: Purple Heart
Summary: 5 Stars
Fantastic movie, have enjoyed it for many years on my copy on a VCR tape that I made off of TV, and now I have a great DVD version of it. The best part of the movie is that it is in the Full Screen format and not as how most come. I wish that your organization could get more movies in the Full Screen format, and not as most company's use the Wide Screen or that stupid letter boxed. Keep up the good work!!Movie Review: The greatest heart tugging film
Summary: 5 Stars
No doubt, one of the best. Not any different than the reality of today and witchhunts. Only in this one we are the hunted. Terribly moving, and the closing scene rivals any, even ET's closer.
It's a statement of who we are, what we were, and how we were willing to "stand up" for what is right.
Movie Review: Dramatization of Fact
Summary: 4 Stars
Despite what the Blame-America-First crowd might say, Uncle Sam doesn't sit around twisting his beard and hatching racist hegemonistic plots against nations populated predominantly by non-White peoples. The Japanese enemy has pretty much been given a relatively free ride due to the mind-numbing atrocities perpetrated by the Nazis in carrying out their Final Solution. But Allied prisoners had a 99% chance of surviving their stint in a German POW camp. Only 58% survived the Japanese camps and those that did had been reduced to mere skin and bones. The Japanese culture is not hung up on the value of a single human life, especially an enemy who has "dishonored" himself by surrendering. Anyone who thinks that the portrayal of Japanese in "The Purple Heart" is over-the-top American Jingoistic blather should talk to an Allied survivor of a Japanese POW camp. This is a well made, well acted film and an extremely effective piece of propaganda, aimed right dead-center at a more-than-deserving target.Movie Review: Different WWII film that speaks to the war today
Summary: 4 Stars
In my quest to see all of the great old films of WWII made in the 1940's, I bought this one and I'm glad I did!
It's very different from the "typical" battle-action films; this one is set mainly in Japan where American Army Air Corps pilots are put on trial for "war crimes."
In the course of their imprisonment, they are tortured to confess to crimes they didn't commit.
They have no real lawyers.
The Geneva Convention is never mentioned.
They go bravely and proudly to their deaths by execution.
All of it highlights not only the humane treatment we give enemy combatants now at Guantanamo Bay but also the fanatical aim of world domination of today's Islamofacist enemy in Iraq and Afghanistan is exactly like that of the Shinto/Bushido Japanese that we vanquished in WWII.
This movie is really a must see that acurately portrays the enemy in wartime as truly evil with none of the moral equivalence that we get from Hollywood and the Media these days.
