I think the real story deserved better. The acting was horrible and the action scenes were cartoonish. The only reason I wanted to stay 'til the end was because it is an inspiring and amazing story which every American needs to know about. The movie led me to inform myself about these wonderful, smart, brave women who otherwise would have continued to be relegated to the dust bin of history, their accomplishments never to have been heard of.
I had a chance to experience a BBC VR program based on letters written from WW1. It turns out that not only were the letters opened so their contents could be read by the army, they were censored as in any information that might give away vital information to the intended recipients was scrubbed. As such letters were often rewritten, or had words blanked out. So even if you got a letter from the front line, or sent one to the front line, it's passed through an inspection and might have what the writer wanted to say altered or blanked for security reasons. Basically, the story of sending letters in war time is full of dramatic possibility in trying to get your words to someone who needs them, and the challenge for those words to arrive intact, or at all.
