When I say a film is "so Hollywood" I mean that the film comes across as unrealistic and I can't get immersed into it, it's like watching an Ed Wood film where you can see the strings holding up the flying saucers. You see the fakeness of it all and it comes across as hollow. "We Were Soldiers" hit me that way, just a another phony war film, no soul or realness to it.

I really enjoyed We Were Soldiers. It departs quite a bit from todays grainy high shutter speed war formula shooting style but it works. The film is patriotic and doesn't apologize for that.
It mixes a bit of humor with a lot of horror and a dash of old Hollywood trickery. We don't get real heroes much anymore and We Were Soldiers gives us a bit of Audie Murphy and Lee Marvin but this film gives us real people.
Do we need another ANTI Vietnam film ? Or can we celebrate and honor the men who fought and died at Ia Drang ?

Ah, Darko is sweeeeet. How can you say that?
Mr Callaghan, please don't make life difficult LOL. You know exactly what people mean when they say "so Hollywood". When that term is used, it means you are removed from the story because of the overwhelming fakeness, and the film is just a big bleached dead saltine cracker.
Your poster collection is nice; those are good Hollywood films (except for "Gone with the Wind"). Now make a list of the "soooooo Hollywood" fake films, like "We Were Soldiers", that don't ring true, just one false note after another. Too many to list.

I love Darko; from the opening riff of Echo's The Killing Moon I was hooked.
And then they changed the song on the Directors Cut.

I know how I forgot Alexander I tried to erase it from my mind with a plunger, thanks for bringing up bad memories.

Do we need to talk about them? I think it takes too much investment to do so. I would rather talk about why we shouldn't talk about them.
