to battle of Dunkirk was pretty unrealistic, also. Otherwise, this film probably portrayed some of the feelings of the people of the time. It probably exaggerated what they felt a little bit. It made it seem like every single person was just excited to go fight for his or her country. Even though some were excited to go fight, I am sure that they had fears and doubts that this film did not really portray very much. This film does not portray the British position as well as Battle of Britain did. That film really showed how close to defeat the British were. This film showed a little how hard the British had to fight. This film really portrayed Nazis and Germans as crazy. The best example of this is the German flyer who broke into Mrs. Miniver’s house. He was made to look like a madman. He said that they would keep bombing until they won. Mrs. Miniver was a propaganda film. It was made to try to get America to join fully into the fight against the Nazis. It shows the Brits as heroic and as doing anything they could for freedom. It showed the Nazis as evil and wanting to take over the world. It made Americans feel like fighting the Nazis would be the good and moral thing to do. It tried to show them that sacrifice for freedom was what they needed to do. Viewers of this film generally liked it. They enjoyed the human aspect of the war and the romance part of the story. I also liked this film. I liked the characters and cared whether they lived or died. All of the British characters were so nice (a little more propaganda) that it made you root for them. I liked the part where the family was in the bomb shelter. It might have been a little unrealistic how the parents were so calm, but it was neat to see what it might have been like. Overall, I thought it was a good film and it helped me understand the Battle of Britain a little more. CasablancaDirector: Michael CurtizScreenwriter: Murray Butler (Play), Joan ...
