Better then the book for once. kinda a thinking mans war movie in a way. the director was Keith Gordon who went to college with Rodney Dangerfield and had a fetish for demonic cars. he made some very interesting movies, two of which are somewhat about war also: Mother Night about Nazis, spies, Nick Nolte. The Chocolate War about a war over selling chocolate bars in a boys boarding school with a climactic battle between two boys at the end. sorta a war movie in ties and pennyloafers. he knows how to get a distinctive style and his actors seem to respond well too. On christmas war movies: seems like Stalag 17 takes place during christmas time and i think Empire of the Sun is partially based during christmas. doesnt Christian Bale go under the wire for Malkovitch to trap a holiday bird or something like that?JHardyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12975399049775935074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7201660899514011402.post-78169048845754358032011-12-23T19:59:47.207-06:002011-12-23T19:59:47.207-06:00Silent Night?

Of course I prefer Merry Chritsmas and think I liked Silent Night better. <br />One year later and many movies later, I must admit, it did at least stay in my memory, more than I can say about some other movies. <br />I should re-watch it I guess. It's quite possible that I would like it much more now.allaboutwarmovieshttp://allaboutwarmovies.comnoreply@blogger.com
