 | This is a great film. I was unexpectedly surprised how well-made, written and acted this film is. That was because there were a lot of "sad gits" around at the time of its cinematic release that harped on about how bad the film was. However, I think the film gets the balance between action and romance exactly right and is thoroughly inspiring. This film is a romantic in more than one sense of the word; in terms of the historical events, heroics of individuals and the relationships that develop.
Here are some great quotes from the film:
Lt. Col. Jimmy Doolittle: There's nothing stronger than the heart of a volunteer.
Rafe: Not anxious to die sir, just anxious to matter.
President Franklin D. Roosevelt: I like sub commanders. They have no time for bullshit, and neither do I. |
