Gary -
I feel the same way - now we see bullet holes in people where the old John
Wayne moves the guys just fell down. As far Pvt Ryan - the "storming the
beach scene" was so realistic it gave me a new feeling of respect for the
17,18 and 19+ year olds that actually did that! I'd read about the water
turning trd from blood but seeing it always has a bigger impact.
Being on that beach must have been ... well, words fail me.
I'm watching a John W western now and although it's set in 1853 they all use
Winchester lever actions made in 1866 so the realism suffered a tad. I
guess having to use muzzle loaders would have slowed the action down a bit.

the thing that most impresses me about movies in recent times is how much
effort is put into getting the details right.
when you watch, say, an old john wayne war movie, you see clearly that
this
is like a play and it is not like the fight really was.
when i watched films such as saving private ryan and we were soldiers for
the first time, i was blown away by "oh, man, this could be what it really

And in Luther's defense, at his age I was only flying off in a aircraft

USCG rescues (go see The Guardian! - I found only three tech flaws in the
entire movie). He, on the other hand, is getting "stuff" to your door.
You
might just have to thank Luther for the stuff you buy at the grocery
