    Look, I really do apprechiate the genuine size of this Battle Scene, the number of extras, the presence of so much genuine WW2-equipment and the seeming emphasis on doing as much as possible in-camera without much CGI...
    ...but in a post-"Saving Private Ryan"/"The Thin Red Line"-era, this feels weirdly outdated. Less like a genunine WW2-movie and more like an over-the-top John Woo-directed Action Flick that _happens to be set during WW2._

    When this movie came out, my grandfather decided he would go and watch it with me in the theaters, or tried to I should say. He was in the 1st Marine Division during the war, and although his unit wasn't on Saipan, he attributed it immediately when this scene started to the carnage and tenacity they had faced on Peleliu and he got up and ran out of the theater with tears in his eyes. I've never felt so much guilt in my life than to have put him through that. He had never told me much about what he had experienced in the Pacific, other than the fact he had been there, but that was proof to me that he had seen the gates of Hell with his own eyes.

      It's impressive but it's 1944 tech. Also the US had a perk called infinite ammo. The Japanese were very jealous. Most of them didn't even have one bullet. All they could do was run screaming towards the US soldiers to get mowed down with no pain.
      FUn fact, Japanese soldiers never get wounded. Always killed straight.

    I read a book about this battle and learned that so much of this battle was during the rainy season. They fought throughout the mountains and it wasn't much like this. First, everything was soaking wet and deep mud was everywhere. Second, the Japanese were dug in strategically throughout the mountains and the Marines didn't know where they were so Marine casualties were very high. Third, the combat was so intense and the conditions were so bad, many Marines began to lose their minds. Some of those Marine units experienced some of the most psychological break-downs of all Allied units in both theatres of war.

      It’s not a war movie, it’s an action movie set during a war. John woo’s “unique” directing makes this movie, that was supposed to be a homage to the duties of the Navajo Code Talkers turn into a run-n-gun Nicolas Cage parody. It’s almost laughable were it not for the personal bias I had against it of anticipating a movie that does the heroes of the pacific Justice only to be met with this nearly 2 hour joke. Kudos to Roger Willie being the only actual Navajo whose role was relegated to a side character and the main “Indian” actor was Adam Beach, who was also sidelined for the real protagonist, Nicolas Cage. 💀and that’s just the casting and directing choice, technicalities aside the whole shooting location doesn’t make sense as the landings of Saipan were for the most part unopposed, with resistance being met inland on fortified ridges and hills or over sprawling farm plains during a nighttime counter offensive by the Japanese. The latter half of the movie(the elimination of the Japanese guns) looks more accurate, even though it resembles the American southwest than a pacific island. The whole movie was pack full of the most mundane war cliches that couldn’t even afford a chuckle for the sake of irony. It’s a sad movie, and here I am rewatching this scene and probably going to rewatch it again in a few months 😂
