For the 2nd assigned blog, I decided to watch Saints and Soldiers: Airborne Creed. The story began with a German officer talking to his family on the phone. When he was done talking to his family, he had to go outside and order the killing of two men who were later said to be part of the resistance. The scene later moves to a bunch of American paratroopers, one in particularly being Harland "Bud" Curtis. The story follows him as he jumps out of the plane and ends up getting separated from his unit and soon after is caught by a group of German soldiers who take away his weapons and plan to assassinate him. An American soldier, Rossi, saves Curtis by killing all of the Germans with a grenade and by shooting them. The two soldiers soon find a house to stay the night in and find another American, Curtis' troop leader, Jones. The three of them then make their way to try and find the place where all of the paratrooper's were supposed to meet. Along the way, they meet a girl, Emilie, who was in the resistance and looking for her friends who were captured by German soldiers. The American's decide to help her and rescue her friends who then help the Americans in return to find the rendez-vous point. The climax of the movie happens when the American group spots 2 German tanks coming their way. The group prepares to attack, but it soon takes a turn for the worst. Jones ends up getting shot in the chest, Rossi in the shoulder, and Curtis is fatally shot. The German officer from the beginning of the movie finds Rossi and takes him to a shelter where he takes care of his wound. When Rossi regains consciousness, the two try to talk, knowing that they should both hate each other, but both are tired of the war. The German soldier ends up dying from his own battle wound because he lost too much blood. American soldiers soon find them and Rossi is taken to get medical attention where he meets up with Emilie, who reveals her real name to him. He finds out that Curtis was K.I.A. and that Jones was okay, and the movie ended shortly after.
I felt that this was a very interesting movie and that it was very good. It was filled with action, but it also had emotional parts laced through it. I would highly recommend this movie. I give it a 10/10.
