(the only Canadian war movie I've seen is Ilsa, She-Wolf of the SS, lol)

Somehow I can't imagine a movie with the white house getting burned down being a huge seller...

Classic Gilchrist

Been watching some of RLMs earlier stuff and also the "How Not To Make A Movie" documentary thing. Mike is trying real hard to not talk mad poo poo about Gilchrist in that. There's a part where he's describing his "Safari Character" and he just has this little pause and like a tiny sigh and you can tell he just wants to be more of an rear end in a top hat but he's trying not to. Good poo poo.

Canana can't even have a ww2 movie because they didn't have a loving flag to begin with. gently caress I don't even think you guys flew a canadian flag during vietnam. You gotta have a flag if you're going to have a war movie you just have to otherwise you can't have a war movie.

Passchendaele is really really boring for 3/4 of its runtime. Paul gross is the only actor who has any charisma in the film and the second lead actor is just awful. The actual battle at the end is a good representation of Flanders, but most of the film views like a tourist travel guide for rural Alberta.

His next war film, Hyena Road is better apparently.

A Canadian WW2 movie would be problematic because our alt-right/racist idiots have adopted the red ensign (the flag before the current maple leaf) as their version of the confederate flag.

This explains why I've been seeing the old red ensign on the back of trucks that also have the loving confederate flag on them somewhere too and a bunch of pro-military stuff.

You think people don't know there was an eastern front that was bigger and bloodier than the rest? Also, Hollywood is in America. When you have such multifaceted wars as WW2 you aren't necessarily limited to just making media about what's the biggest or most important arena. One of the most important factors becomes what is most relatable to your audience and the ones producing the content. For Hollywood that is going to be America and Britain, Eastern Front fans might just have to deal with it.

Also your statement seems kind of close to the sentiment of many who have read up on the Eastern Front and then seem to begin to assume that the Western Front and America and Britain's contributions were negligible by comparison. That's a fallacy. If you discount the huge importance of Britain not getting knocked out of the war in 1940 and the massive economic aid provided by the United States to both Britain and the Soviets, then there's still the fact that from 1944-1945 the Western Allies destroyed the German airforce, crippled Axis oil production, and tied down large numbers of elite mechanized and armored German formations that might have made a significant contribution in slowing down the Soviets in the East during the same period (the proportion of armored and mechanized formations was higher in both Italy, where there were many Panzergrenadier and weird LW and FJ divisions and regiments, and on the Western Front than in the East (which from 1944 received lower priority for such reinforcements). The fighting in Normandy and later in the forests in eastern France and Belgium had casualty rates that matched that of many Eastern Front battles, and from the invasion 'till the German surrender on 8 May, the Western Allies killed some 1-1.5 million Germans and captured millions more while suffering around 600-700 000 casualties themselves.

You probably know this. But just because the Eastern Front was more bloody and more important in deciding the war that doesn't make the Western Front either unimportant or unworthy of mention by comparison.

We didn't murder quite as many native people as America, so there's still a ton of them around to be astoundingly racist to while we pat ourselves on the back for being slightly less genocidal.

Also on the way asking 100% "youtuber" questions it pops this.
