The film is three different Canadian soldier stories connected on one day in history, D-Day, and the efforts of our Canadian troops in securing Juno beach, as part of five areas to be secured on that fateful day. We have the perspective from a paratrooper, a tank officer and a foot soldier. After seeing the intense battle on the beach in Saving Private Ryan some years ago, the scene on the beach in this movie wasn't as 'polished' but found that my emotions were in tatters as it became all the more personal. I never forget our young soldiers sacrifices, and to see the same effect on these soldiers trying to land on the beach, and being cut down is heartbreaking. There are the few that manage to make it through, and the beach gets secured. If I remember correctly, out of one group of 110 men, 17 survived, and out of many tanks that were made to float from two miles away at sea, one managed to make it to the beach. The paratrooper manages to find his squad after a delay, and they must find a way to take the big gun out before more troops land. The story is true, and their mission is accomplished. We see the real survivors of WW II talk about their experience as the movie ends. This movie brings our history to life. This movie brings our history to life, with class and a take on our contribution to the war effort. As gripping, but with an honest, simple telling of wars horrors.Vollständige Rezension lesen
