refused. He said that the men that he was with were the only brothers he had left and he could not leave them since they needed him. He felt a responsibility to them to help them hold the bridge. He said that his mom would be proud of him. I think that a lot of the men wanted to do the right thing. They wanted to make their relatives proud of them and serve honorably and courageously.The generation that fought in World War II was very patriotic and noble. They wanted to stand up and fight for what they thought was right. It was good versus evil. They wanted to fight for the United States and freedom. They went through death and injury to defeat the Nazis. I think that our generation can do great things, too, just like their generation did. The sense of country and patriotism is not as strong now as it was then, but the majority of people still love this country and would want to stop an evil force like the Nazis. I honestly do not think that there are as many people willing to stand up for their country like there were back then. I think that a lot of people would try to get out of going to war. I think that the same situation is not as likely to happen now. Weapons are much more powerful now and a country can be wiped off the map much easier. Dropping the bomb was a huge decision then, and it would be huge today. War would be different now than it was then.Viewers love this film. It is rated as one of the top films ever. I strongly agree with their analysis. This is a great film and people of all interests enjoy it. It is hard to watch some of the parts because of the killing. But the storyline is so touching and the ending is also a tearjerker that just about anyone can expect to feel a little moistening of the eyes after watching it. It is a great film about World War II and about war in general. But it is also just a great film. It is one of the best ever.The SullivansDirector: Lloyd BaconScreenwriter: Edw...
