no one is interest in propeller plane film. millenial want to see jets like top gun film.
shareMillennial's barely know about WW2 let alone the Korean War!
shareyes this is true. i would be surprise if they would be interest in this type of film. shame because this look like good film
shareWe learned about it all from a textbook, just like your Gen X or Boomer ass.
Don't act like you're some kind of hardened martyr who experienced the horrors of WW2 first-hand.
That's unfortunate. I saw it and enjoyed it.
shareMarketing has been brutal on this movie. Or at least I’ve seen no publicity on it whatsoever
shareI've seen a bit but not much. It seems strange that the studio would put $90 million into making it and then spend very little to promote it. It was, in my opinion, the only decent thing to go watch on Thanksgiving Day and the subject matter seemed appropriate for the holiday (something relatively uplifting and family-friendly). The studio should've leaned into that and made people think of it as THE movie to go see on Thanksgiving.
shareWatched it last night it is a good film. Some inaccuracies once I read the real story but still good to watch.
shareDidn't expect it to do great, but didn't expect it to open as low as it did either. Then again, it's a pretty average war film and I don't think the marketing did a lot to make it stick out as something that needed to be seen in theaters. Didn't help it came out the same time as Black Panther and the limited release of Glass Onion which I think took away a lot of appeal as something for families to go see over Thanksgiving. Probably would've done better if they released it in September or October, but still probably wouldn't have been enough to recoup the $90 million budget.
shareyes. it is shame it fail. it is decent film.
at least it show unity between black and white man. hollywood and libtard cant have race getting along together in film like this. we must have film that create animosity and divisions between race like women king, till and emancipations!
Agreed. It was nice to see a film not cram the race angle down your throat while still awknoledging racism was very present at the time.
shareYes, they made a film that acknowledges the racial issues of the past without beating you over the head with it or making the white man out to be the devil.
shareso challenging your ideals is bad Evolve Libturd is a heck of all better than being RepubiKKKan or TrumpiKKKan
shareI wouldn't call it "pretty average," mostly because the friendship angle felt fresh and unique, especially as it was based on a true story.
Personally, I thought this was the ONLY thing to go see on Thanksgiving. It just felt like it had the right spirit for the holiday.
yeah it did but events happened are REAL and Black Lives MATTER
shareIt's too bad. War movies like this that also happen to be period pieces just don't make money anymore unless it's directed by Christopher Nolan.
shareDon't know why "millennials" wouldn't like it. I was born in the 1950s, so I don't personally remember WWII, or the Civil War, or the Battle of Agincourt, yet I can enjoy "Patton", "Glory", and "Henry V".
