The man was a highly respected government employee and his boss. Although the role that Stewart played was that of the slightly loony professor...
I am aware I am replying to an 8-year post. Here is what Wikipedia says as to her acting in Star Trek:
'Vetri has been incorrectly identified in numerous sources as playing the role of the "human form of a shape-shifting cat" in the Star Trek episode "Assignment: Earth" (a role actually played by April Tatro[8]). Vetri emphatically states she never appeared on Star Trek, saying, "I was never in an episode of STAR TREK. I know that people think I was [...] I am not sure who she was. Look close enough and you can see that she has blue eyes and I, of course, have brown."'
Bravo for your reply, Kane!
You are reacting to a movie depicting a REAL event. Then ask for a movie depicting a FICTIONAL event. When in REAL life pirates hijack an AMERICAN ship we will have that kind of movie.
Oh wait! There is the movie Pueblo, a made-for-TV movie about the seizure by North Koreans.
And there are several movies on the USS Liberty attack by Israeli forces. Although not pirates, Israel forces behaved like one.

Great post.
Thank you.
No they are eejits!
Snowflake your mama, asshole.
I am replying here since this person has completely missing the point. And sorry to resurrect a 9-year post.
"Cara Mia" is Italian for "My Beloved." He does not say this because he has Spanish blood. "Cara Mia" is not related at all to a romantic response. He says "Cara Mia" whenever he responds romantically to her French muttering. "Querida" is Spanish, but cannot but not be connected in any way to "Cara."
So Miss_Georgia, you missed it completely!
Your mama was on every soldier's bayonet.
Back at you, bitch! "...moment like that... it's made to convey a message and DOESN'T invalidate the guy experience..." In MY opinion it does invalidate it. Anyway these are my feelings, and you should respect my feelings as I post them here. You are a bully, continue posting this way, and I will see you in jail or trampled. You sound bitter, asshole. How many marriages have you failed at? So I laugh at you, chicken-shit piece of garbage.
Your link proves my point. A soldier reaches for the butterfly, is shot.
From your link, "After 1914, the High Commands on both sides tried to prevent any truces on a similar scale happening again. Despite this, there were some isolated incidents of soldiers holding brief truces later in the war, and not only at Christmas."
"Being shot" is not holding a truce. Getting shot does not happen during "a brief truce."
Someone else noted the same mistake I did.
And instead of reacting like ninnies, in an emotional manner posts a possible explanation.
Doubt this to be the case. Supplies must reach the front trenches. Between the front trenches and back lines there were more trenches running parallel to the front trench, and to connect these were communication trenches. If you put rear barbed wires, how are you going to get food, ammo, water, and reinforcements to the troops in the frontal trench?
Think this to be a mistake of the production staff.
MORON!
It does matter. Experience? So what? It is still colored. Biased. To what he thinks should have, or not have, happened.
Not everyone die in a war. A lot do. But a lot of them survive.
A soldier with experience reaching out for a butterfly? In the front? NOT believable. Or is there a death wish?
Dude, don't you think I know that he is a veteran? You are so dense it comes out of your pores. All Quiet is still a novel. It is not historical. It is fiction.
DOES. NOT. MATTER. THAT. HE. IS. A. VETERAN.
You are still a douchebag, a moron, or a jackass. Which one is you?!!!
I have no problem stating<i> Psycho </i>is an horror film. Compare <i>Psycho </i>and <i>Clearcut.</i> In <i>Psycho</i> you feel the horror. And it builds up. In <i>Clearcut </i>you feel nothing. It is bland.
To quote from the website you posted:
<b>During World War I, barbed wire was used for both defensive purposes and as a trapping mechanism. Soldiers would defend their trenches with barbed wire by installing the barbed wire a distance away on the ground from the tops of their trenches. When used as a trap, artillery and gun fire were sometimes used specifically to direct enemy soldiers into already constructed barbed wire snares.</b>
The trailer shows the following, which I will diagram:

x x x x x x x x German Barbed wire x x x x x x x x x German Barbed wire x x x x x x
In this diagram you are not trapping nor are you funneling the enemy to anywhere. The only soldiers trapped here are the German soldiers who should not be so trapped. The only way that barbed wire can trap or funnel the enemy is as follows, which was not depicted in the trailer. By the way, trenches were more complicated than that, as there were also communications trenches used to reach the font trenches.

Unable to depict the third sketch as this site does not let me show lines based on characters. But go to this website, <html>https://www.pinterest.com/pin/857021004066065948/</html> to see the real location of the barbed wire.
Bush, WWI was not fiction. It really happened.
On the other hand, <i>All Is Quiet in the Western Front </i>is a novel. Novels are fiction. A figment of someone's imagination. What someone thinks happened during that period of life.
No it does not. The trench is in front of the barbed wire, no barbed wire in front of the trench. Why? If you are going to show something that purports to be real life, at least show it in a believable way. Even if it is fiction.
That is why they get pregnant or end with married men.. They ARE blown up! :-)
