[WWI] The Red Baron Movie

[Douglas Anderson]

If you wanted realistic carnage then get the directors and producers of Taegukgi, which in my books is the best anti-war film ever made. This was a definately no holds-barred look at the Korean War. the trench warfare seen is paticularly brutal with its hand-to-hand fighting and the way in which all, friends and foe alike, ended up killing each other. I think it was called Tae Guk Gi: The Brotherhood of War in the US.

Too bad about the movie, the initial 'buzz' was that it would be the most 'authentic' WWI film yet. Mentioning "Saving Private Ryan", the scenes on Omaha beach were as close to realistic as anyone has done, but a WWI attack, with the level of carnage several times higher, would be horrific, that anyone survived those is amazing. So the RB movie isn't even as good as the stinker "Flyboys", leaving "Blue Max" and "Richtofen and Brown", the best WWI flying movies made, with "Dawn Patrol" and "Hells Angels" . It's been 95 years since WWI started, you'd think by now somebody would have gotten it right.
