Which brings me to something I thought of in the theater. Lots of people brought their small children to show them "history." This is a war movie--characters are going to die. That was a given. Someone if not multiple someones who you may like or are really attached to is going to die in a war movie, probably in a graphic way. People should know if their children can handle something like that then act accordingly.
Someone at school said that there should have been more sistahs in the film, especially since there were some Black nurses during this time. Meh. I think there were so few of them that it's not far-fetched to say there was a base that had none, especially overseas. Also, yes, Black women fought to be allowed to be nurses and that was a huge victory--but that plight is not the focus of this plot. Leave that for another movie.

Sadly, there is a blogger trying to lead a boycott of this movie because it does not show any Black women in it. And that it had this inter-racial relationship instead which is rude to "sistahs". Which over looks the fact the The Airman found the local Italian, in many cases, friendlier to them than follow Americans. And I have seen several interviews with Airman saying how good their relationships were.
