I mean it's a bit weird that nobody bleeds when they get shot. No guts, no torn off body parts. Just soldiers lying down nicely to 'sleep'.
shareIt's being screened at 1900 in the hope, I gather, that it will interest a young audience, so the scenes can't be graphic.

Yes, let's whitewash and clean up the horrors of war so as not to upset the little ones, who should grow up thinking that battle is good clean fun, and will be ready to sign away their lives to go fight in the next war the corporations decide is necessary.
If it had been called "little house on the western front" I think I would have got it and understood it's sanitized -working -too-hard- to tug your emotions, completely unrealistic parallel setting and story, family viewing after Sunday dinner.
In that sense it might even be "good."
But for my this was non challenging disappointing sentimental claptrap at its "finest."
This was 'family viewing'. Believe it or not, neither adults nor children need to see 'Saving Private Ryan' style blood and gore in order to be moved.
shareAgreed, you can weep up at Little House or the Waltons if you like - but then, they weren't billed as mega dramas and prime time viewing.
shareIt's been shot for audiences in the civilised world. Not for those races that have an obsessive bloodlust.
There's more than enough blood-porn already for white-trash inbreds to fantasise about.
