The Movie I watched was Saints and Soldiers.
Characters:
Gordan Gunderson is a sergeant, has a heart on both sides of his helmet, and he is the leader of the group. Deacon is the guy you go to if you need someone shot because he has a dead shot. He has two arrows on the front of his helmet, doesn't smoke or drink, is very religious and speaks german. Steven Gould is the medic and to show that he has red crosses on his helmet. He seems to dislike Deacon from the beginning. Kendricks is the smoker of the group, and always asking for some smokes. His helmet is plane and he likes magic and card tricks. Flight Sergeant Oberon Winley is the British guy who happens to have important information on a German Offensive.
It's about four American soldiers who survived a prison break from a German POW camp. The group is armed with only one gun that has four rounds in it, in the cold winter with no where to hide. They come across a British pilot of the Royal Airforce, who happens to have important information about a German offensive. Sarge informs him that they are behind enemy lines and there is no where for him to report what he found. They go back to the shed the group found earlier and decide what they are going to do. They decided to take a short cut to cut off the Germans and tell the U.S. troops that are stationed there.
They start off to where they are going to report the information about the German or Krauts offensive. Deacon hasn't slept for three of four days, is shellshocked, and is the one holding the gun. He is scouting for the group which worries Gould, the medic, because he thinks that Deacon is not right in the head to be the one with the only gun they have. Deacon keeps on seeing these children, where ever he looks, it get so bad that he literally freaks out. He starts screaming no, no, so Sarge and Gould grab him and cover his mouth so you can't hear him. After they calm him down, Sarge tells Gould some information about Deacon. Gould suggests that they keep him talking, make him sleep, and give someone else the gun.
It starts to snow really bad, they find this house to stay in for the time being. A french women and her daughter live there. Winley decides he can't wait till things clear up, so he leaves. After he leaves the women comes down to give them some food, when a german tank comes and two german soldiers step out. The women goes out to make sure her daughter is okay when she is grabbed by one of the german soldiers. Deacon steps out with the gun and tells him to put down the gun and let her go. The german soldier goes to shoot Deacon so Deacon shoots him, and then tries to shoot the other one but misses. Winley who heard the gun shots comes back and runs into the German soldier who got away and brings him back to the group. There Deacon recognizes him as a friend of his, later in the night he and the German make a trade he gets to go free if he gives them information. They group figure out that with the weather like it is, it is impossible for them to get Winley to where he needs to be but that they can go some where else.
The group sets off again but only to run into Germans where Sarge and Kendrick get killed and Winley gets injured. The German Deacon let go runs into them again and helps him out by giving them a jeep. They uses this jeep to get into a German camp from there to the American troops stationed a little bit away. The Americans are wondering whats going on because people in a German jeep are firing at Germans who are firing back at the jeep. They figure out that the people in the jeeps are Americans so they help them out, Deacon dies saving Gould and Winleys life.
I thought it was a good movie. I liked that is shows how hard it was, but if you have enough determination and will power you can accomplish alot of things. I also liked how it demonstated that even if you are from diffent places you can still get along and that working together helps you accomplish alot.
