Did you miss the part where Kevin Bacon makes a pro-Christian speech at the town hall meeting?
It's anti-fundamentalist, but not anti-Christian.
Easy answers:
Yes
From the pantry.
In the room that wasn't on camera.
With a shovel.
There, all questions answered. That was easy.
So many buttons to count. So little time.
For the button counters... What is unrealistic specifically that stands out? What takes you out of the movie? I'm curious.
I was quite impressed by it. No shoe-horned love story. No excessive character development. No message. Just a story.
I have a "How to" textbook written by a destroyer captain just after WWII. This movie watches like that book reads. "How to fight a wolf pack, chapter 1"
If you're not into WWII destroyer vs. submarine kind of stuff, you won't like it. I wouldn't expect you to.
I thought of a line from the book when watching the movie, "If you haven't dipped a rail, you aren't a destroyer captain."
The people I have worked with or been friends with from the Soviet era were all amazed at how nice Americans were. My buddy was a sailor and he thought that all Americans were bloodthirsty decadent capitalist pig dogs.
Eventually, he moved to the States and realized that we're all just people.
The propaganda machine in Soviet Russia was just as bad as the American propaganda machine.
When using a mechanical typewriter, you use 2 spaces. When using desktop publishing software, you use a single space then replace it with an EM space. In MS Word, these days, it automatically replaces two spaces with an EM space. It's a style and typesetting guideline.
You're racist and love Nazis. We get it.
I like hats.
Don't "button count"
The war worked out the way it did. This is a movie. Accept it as it is.
He's frustrated. He's upset. He just lost a man. No, Norman likely couldn't have hit him from his position. Yes, he can operate the gun elevated.
He's upset because he's expecting to lose Norman within a day or two because Norman is inexperienced and likely to die. He's a replacement. Wardaddy knows this and is trying to take an 8 week man into a multi year war in the span of a day. It works sometimes. In this case, it does.
