Breaking it up into two movies kinda messes with the story flow, because it puts the exciting parts in the wrong places. But I saw part one the night before on TV, and then saw part 2 and had a pretty good time. Some of the urban combat worked better for me than the book, because through the whole book I kept thinking "Who lets reality TV producers plan their national defenses?"
That's probably why the heavily populated city had deadly traps every block instead of, you know, a perimeter.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
