I decided to watch Everyman's War for this week's assigned blog.
The plot is based off of a man (Smith) going off to war, leaving his family, and another man going off to war to escape jail-time. They go throughout the war and through the Battle of The Bulge by Nennig, Germany. Smith later loses a good war friend, and then has to wade through the cold snow, injured, to warn a town of an on-coming invasion. It then goes back to a narration and an old war video. The video revolved around Smith writing a letter, which he uncovers in present day.
I, personally, didn't really like this movie too much. It focused too much on events outside the war other than the fighting and things like that. I did like how the movie tried to say how war has an effect on you when the German soldier shot himself.
