Oh, and one more thing. I'm not saying that you can never take a topic like WW2 lightly. Kelly's Heroes and 1941 are both great films because the stories are not veiled in realism. They make no attempts to disuise the cavalierness of the story, and do not abuse the accuracy of WW2 by claiming or even insinuating that the stories are based on reality. The film U-571 however tries to portray an epic historical drama, but it ends up like so many other bad films where it's the good guys vs the bad guys and after a few close calls the good guys win and get the girls.
