Looks incredibly unrealistic and stupid.

June 12th. Hanks wrote the screenplay based upon the novel "The Good Shepherd" by C.S. Forester.
Hanks is a huge WWII history buff, and does a lot to support the WWII Museum in New Orleans.

I hope the ending is BETTER than "Saving Private Ryan."

Did you even watch the linked video?
AQ planned for years and sent their A team to carry out the attacks, and on Flight 93 they were thwarted by a pick-up team made up of United Frequent Fliers. Many people look at 9/11 and wonder how we can stop an enemy like that. I look at FL93 and wonder, "How can we lose?". -- FromMyColdDeadHand

Not to take anything away from the guys who fought in the Atlantic, but I'd rather see a movie about the naval tooth-and-nail gunfights in the Solomon Islands areas.

I read a book a few years ago called Neptune's Inferno that was about the naval battles around the Solomons in the very early years of WW2. Those battles were brutal and gave me a newfound respect for the sailors involved.

Iron Bottom Sound.
It didn’t get that name for nothing.
The dark days of the war had a brutal learning curve for the US Navy in particular. I have read Neptune’s Inferno several times, as it just describes the horrible cost of the war winning lessons. Most contemporary books don’t explore it, but the Japanese Navymen were learning lessons too.
