I thought it was beautiful that their last "mission" was to drop aid to starving people. After so many years of dropping bombs, they got to end the war on a somewhat hopeful and peaceful note.
Yeeeeee true man to the Netherlands I think?
Yes, people were starving in Europe, especially in the Netherlands.
I read that when Rosenthal announced to the Russian Soldiers that he was "Americanski", the closest soldier put up his rifle and hugged him.... Then gave him a chug of vodkha! They remained in the crater until the fight had progressed past the spot, then 2 of them helped carry him to the rear and a medical post.
🇺🇸 We are honored to live a few doors down from a man who was a navigator for the 95th Bomb Group during WWII. He is 103 years young now and still living at home! We watched this whole series and it made me really appreciate the sacrifices that these brave men made so we can have our freedom! 🇺🇸
"On occasion, the world must confront itself. Answer what we are with who we are." What a beautiful line.
There is a companion documentary called The Bloody Hundredth (AppleTv) . Interviews with some of the pilots and is narrated by Tom Hanks and Spielberg.
my heart skipped a beat in it when rosie told about coca cola and stalin and etc when he got to the russians
@@salto1994 he was so lucky they didn't shoot him before he could say anything.
Buck Cleven had one helluva life after the war. In the 80’s he was president of Webber College where he was loved as much as he was feared. He apparently used to carry around a sawed off shotgun to chase off local hooligans who would tear up campus.
In the entire series I didn't cry as hard as I did when I watched the food drop. It saved those men's souls.
just wonderful and very emotive
Rosie was actually shot twice. The one in this episode was the second time. He was also shot down in September of 44 and was pulled from aircraft by the French.
To mention, the men were allowed to fly again as long as they were picked up by friendly forces. Only if they were helped by native people like Bailey and Quinn were they not allowed to fly again. Cause they knew about the under ground network of people helping down airmen.
The screenwriter, John Orloff, said, "Don't compare it to 'Band of Brothers', they are two different kinds of stories. If you want to compare, compare it to Das Boot'". Thought that was interesting.
Episode 9 was one of the best pieces of TV I've seen, and perhaps, the best series finale ever.
Tension and fear at the start, then one emotional reward after another as storylines and characters were brought home.
Watch the companion documentary piece by Hanks and Spielberg 'The Bloody Hundredth'.
Rosie was one of that very rare breed. Someone who felt it was their personal responsibility to defeat the enemy, no matter what it cost him personally. He would fight until he couldn't or the enemy was beaten, whichever came sooner.
Well, the war was very personal for Rosie as a Jewish-American.
Omg can I just say the music was outstanding in this series???? Wow
Concerning the actors - Kenny, the engineer was played by Rafferty Law, son of actor Jude Law they really have the same face.... Bucky was played by british actor Callum Turner who also played "Newt's" brother in Fantastic Beasts
All in all a fantastic cast to a great show
Callum turner also played Anatole Kuragin in the BBC adaptation of War and Peace. And did a fantastic job.
Glad you guys enjoyed this. I spent 8 years in the Air Force as an A-10 Crew Chief and heritage is very important to us. Most people don't understand what the Air Force has done or does so this show is AMAZING! Spent some time in Afghanistan and they loved to hit us with rockets and mortars. Its just awesome to see a show about the (back then the army air core).
I was in the Air Force stationed at Aviano AB, Italy shortly after 9-1-1 and we were supporting the bombers heading to Afghanistan and we got a visit from a Tuskegee Airmen to thank us for the job we were doing. I was touched that someone who went through what they went through still thought it was important to support other service members and visit us to let us know they were behind us. Class act.
The accompanying documentary titled “The Bloody Hundredth” was fantastic, and included lots of clips of the veterans from before they passed away. If you think what the series showed about Rosie was impressive, wait until you hear about some of the stuff that was not included. If I remember correctly, Robert Rosenthal was the most famous and talented B-17 pilot of WWII.
He definitely had a great head for math but my father showed me when I was a kid this neat tool called a slide rule that engineers have been using to make complex calculations for the past 100 years. So they did have some tools available.
I remember watching The Tuskegee Airmen movie a long time ago which showed a lot of the hurdles and racism they faced. Every one of them had like top marks in college just to be even considered to be allowed to fly.
Loved how the British were there when they first arrived and were also there dressed in their best as a sign of respect to bid them farewell. A bunch of yanks came to do a job and when they left, the job was all done. Broke my heart. One of my fav tv shows.
Apart from the constant Brit bashing throughout the series..even the Germans were portrayed as better, awful disrespectful series.shame on hanks and Spielberg
@@gazza1196 the brits did actually miss targets most of the time. Sometimes even by miles. Not taking away their part in the air raids, they played just a important role as anyone else, but the nighttime raids was more deadly and indiscriminate cause they'd hit anything. But i do agree with you kinda, I've heard there actually was always a bit of banter between the two.
@@Cucuy222 actually it is a bit of a myth that daylight bombing was anymore accurate. Fact is that vast majority of bombing carried out by all sides was not accurate at all. It wasn't until the invention of the bouncing bomb, tall boy and grand slam bombs by Barnes Wallis that precision bombing started to live up to the name and which led to the successful attacks on the Ruhr dams and the Tirpitz by the RAF. Agree with the comment by Gazza above as well - shame that Spielberg and Hanks have form for doing this. Respect should be given to all who served, but that is Hollywood for you
@@garino881 agreed but this was an American show about an American group so I don't think they'd bother throwing much light on the brits. Agreed they were a huge part of war too no doubt. Hopefully someday we get a war drama but from the pov of the brits. I'm curious tho did the brits have the Norden bombsight like the Americans did cause of which they did daylight bombing?
@@gazza1196the only time they showed that not all Germans were warmongering Nazis was the one Luftwaffe officer who the guy helped up after he collapsed from the snow March.
Since he was the only German officer who actually showed any form of care for the prisoners to give them info and warn them of what the Germans planned to do as punishments
Well worth the wait as always, you guys do such a great job I cried along with you Nikki at all the same bits, again. The bit that stuck out for me was Rosie being at Nuremberg where the War Crime Trials took place afterwards and then his conversation with the old man, absolutely heartbreaking. ❤😢
The actor in the opening scene in the Tail is Rosie's actual grandson
You will see interviews with these men in the documentary the Bloody Hundredth. There is also on UA-cam a talk given by Rosie at an Air Base.
Rosie served as an interrogator for the prosecution team at the Nuremberg trials.
I have searched all over the Internet but I cannot find if Rosie Rosenthal spoke German. I would assume he did if interrogated Herman G. and other key Nazi leaders, but I am not certain. Does anyone out there know if he did indeed?
One of those who survived the Netherlands 'Hunger Winter' that Operation Chowhound and Operation Manna (the RAF equivalent) dropped supplies in relief of was a teenaged and malnourished future Hollywood Legend named Audrey Kathleen Ruston aka Audrey Hepburn. She was in country at the time.
The only actor I recognized was Barry Keoghan (Chernobyl, Banshees of Inisherin, Saltburn). After the first episode I saw people talking about Austin Butler and then remembered him: I saw the trailers for Elvis, but thought he was all wrong for the part, and so didn't see it. This may have been a mistake.
It was a mistake
This was one of the best series that I have watched in a while interesting and tragic in equal measure, especially when you think about the real life history and the sacrifices that they all made.."Crosby" was my favourite. I hope they get nominated for a lot of awards. 🇬🇧🇺🇲
Trauma Therapist here -- it's good to see depictions of combat increasingly committed to showing the cost of war, a trend that 'Saving Private Ryan' ushered in. Tom Hanks has through SPR, BoB, TP, and now MoTA, greatly contributed to public awareness of and support for the psychological toll of war -- and to a greater extent, mental health in general.
That line about how people died because of Hitler's desire for power alone -- true and yet shocking to think this is playing out in the same manner today with Putin in Ukraine. But the average American struggles to see the similarities, failing to realize Ukraine of 2022 is Poland of 1939. The difference is we didn't know about the concentration camps until our ground forces liberated the camps (as shown in BoB 'Why We Fight'). But today we have the reports, testimonials, the photos, and video of Russian torture camps, deportations of Ukrainian children to be raised in Russia, and daily intentional bombing of civilian 'targets.' And now, we hear the same thing Americans said in the 1930's: why should we care about Europe's war? We aren't even being asked to fight this one, but we're watching history repeat itself just the same -- and in doing so, letting the men who liberated Europe die just a little bit more in vain. I'm not saying we should go fight necessarily. But to think it's happening at scale again and in the open, without great public outcry or support, is astounding.
And as somebody with family that served in WWII, and some who lived under Japanese occupation, it INFURIATES me that men such as these are forgotten. That Americans today casually toss around the idea that we aren't a real democracy, allow politicians to make jokes about wanting to be a dictator, openly praise men like Putin, or say that they'd be okay with a dictatorship if their candidate won is disgusting. We act as if men like Hitler just popped up, evil and complete, in isolation. But we forget that they were allowed to grow popular by society's that allowed their anger to justify hate. Every time we make light of dictatorships, disparage our democracy without evidence, or allow ourselves to align with a politician or party over country, we waste what men depicted in shows like these fought and died for.
I used to work exclusively with survivors of torture seeking asylum in the US. Men, women, even children, who were tortured at home and fled here. They all love America and the freedoms we have. And they are all stunned at how cheaply we disparage it and openly "joke" about how dictators are admirable. It's easy to make such comments in prideful anger, but sitting with a tortured teenager or mother weeping for the way certain political movements feel the same as those they escaped is an altogether different experience. I pray shows like this help us appreciate what we have and raise the standard we hold ourselves to.
I found the depictions of mental trauma to be both compelling and relatable. BoB5 and Pac4 were simply brilliant in my opinion.
Yes, your comparisons of Germany's invasion of Europe in the 1930s and the Ukraine in the 2000s are spot on. We have yet to know the final truth of all Putin's crimes against humanity in the Ukraine as we have probably only been exposed to the surface of that place.
On another note, do not forget Tom Hanks' role in a great but lesser known film "Greyhound."
Glad you guys liked the show! The story of these men is really amazing. I am not as far as you guys with uploading my reactions but I have recorded all of them, this show is so good. The book by Crosby is amazing as well, really should urge everyone to read it.
The Dutch call the winter of 1944-45 the Hunger Winter, largely due to punitive Nazi action the people in the occupied Netherlands were driven to near (in some cases actual) starvation. My family has Dutch heritage, and as children several of my aunts and uncles remember welcoming food drops to stave off their desperate hunger - this was truly a life saving mission and its inclusion is really important.
Wasn't it something like 20'000 died of starvation.
@@jameswg13 It is difficult to state with authority. I've seen estimated numbers from 15,000 deaths to upwards of 25,000. It certainly resulted in many thousands dying of starvation, thousands more dying of associated reasons, and long-term health impacts for millions. It was, and remains, a terrible (and poorly known), historical crime.
There's a MASTERS Documentary that accompanies this specifically on Apple TV. It has a lot of stuff from Rosie and from Lucky Luckadoo and others.
Amen. We all forget what these heroes all did for this country. Great reaction.
Thank you so much for your reaction. I really enjoyed watching the series again with you guys. I was thinking about what you said about the first episode and the show runners choosing attractive actors to play two of the main characters. I thought maybe the reason for it was to show a very notable contrast between Buck and Bucky at the start of their time at war and the end, especially how rough it was being POWs. The first time I watched the series, in Episode 7 when we finally get to see Buck again at the POW camp, I remember noticing straight away how exhausted he looked, the bags under his eyes were so dark they almost looked like bruises. Bucky too seemed bone weary. Even in the last episode when they're back at Thorpe Abbott they look very different to Episode 1, and I think it's a way for the show runners to show the toll the war had on them. Just a thought! Thank you again for your reaction!
The Tuskegee Airman or “Red Tails” have a movie about that company if you’d want to know more Steve.
Two of them, one produced by HBO and the other by George Lucas.
@@ForgottenHonor0 George Lucas' movie was something of a childhood dream come true for him to make. All the starfighter combat in Star Wars is based off WWII dogfighting, they even move the same way. Some scenes in A New Hope are scene-for-scene remakes of classis WWII movies. In fact, the Death Star trench run is based off a real life WWII mission flown by the British where they had to fly slow and low into heavy defenses to hit a small target. Look up the "Dambusters" of WWII. Yarnhub on UA-cam has a nice recreation of it as well.
@@ForgottenHonor0The Tuskegee Airmen is the best.
@@hoghead4846 Accuracy-wise, yes. But I still have fun with Red Tails.
Oh hey, I was just checking your guys' channel to see if this was uploaded yet, and what do you know you uploaded it an hour later. Best episode of the series IMO, looking forward to seeing you guys react.
Wanted to thank you guys again for doing this show🙏
I enjoyed your reactions especially Nikki with all the feels she added for her audience 😊
All the kids in the photo one was found years later for i think of the anniversaries and he helped orga ise the efforts/ and participated to restore thorpe abbots along with others. Its now a museum for the bloody hundredth
Had to watch your full reaction to this superb episode. Just beautifully done. It’s so important in 2024 for people to be reminded of what these men fought for and how we are at risk of them same thing happening again in Europe if we allow Putin to succeed. As for the cast, the stand outs for me are Nate Mann as Rosie who I wasn’t familiar with but will watch in whatever he does next and Anthony Boyle, who I knew would be destined for great success after seeing him in the original London (and then original Broadway) cast of the Harry Potter play as Scorpius Malfoy. Everyone who saw him came out going, who is that young actor?! Now to see him in Manhunt!
Such a great finale to a brilliant show.
An amazing series and probably best that I've watched in the last few years.
Color me impressed, I thought you'd both be crying a lot more. Thanks for sharing your excellent reactions to the awesome series.
Same but at the same time, I didn't cry but felt heavy and was about to cry but it just didn't happen.
The scene where he helps the Luftwaffe officer up after he collapses is a really touching scene since he was pretty much the only officer to actually show mutual respect and help emphasize the things the prisoners should avoid at the camp.
Yep the march from stalag luft III did have cases of prisoners and Germans helping each other and even prisoners carrying equipment and rifles of the guards so everyone can make it.
Awesome reaction of my favorite episode of Masters Of The Air!!!!!!😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
An interesting story to get into would be that of Jimmy Stewart. He flew B-24's during the same time frame as this series, and by all accounts, he was the real deal as well. As a well known actor he didn't have to be there, but like Rosie, he saw it as his duty.
Nikki, darling, never change.
Remember Rosie was a qualified Lawyer and jewish as well so seeing the concentration camp and realising what was happening to people of his religion. You can tell he meant it when he said "they deserve whats coming to them"
That scene with crosby actually happened. The equipment room was meant to be open until after take off but the supply officer and his men shut it before. So when one of Crosby's navigators came to him saying they couldnt get chutes he went ballistic. Kicked down the door and then went to chew out the supply officer. All the while thinking as he was doing it. Who was this harry Crosby.
May have been masters of the air but no excuse and still exceptionally dangerous up there. So needed parachutes
I know Stalag XIII was an army camp but still reminds me of a certain TV series
The food drops were Operation Manna and Operation Chowhound by the RAF, USAAF and RCAG dropped over 11000 tons of food to combat the 1944-45 dutch famine and save people from starvation in german occupied netherlands. Think 20k people died or something from it.
You guys definitely should follow this up with the companion piece The Bloody Hundredth. It's a fantastic addition and interviews some of the real men as well, helps a lot to flesh out the series.
I really enjoyed the series overall but also think it sucks that the Tuskeegee airmen are basically a sidenote in the end of the show, and I get that it's because they only played a small part in the book, but those guys were awesome, for what they did compared to what they were up against, both from the enemy side, and from how america treated them.
I'd love for spielberg and hanks to do a series on them.
100% Agreed. They were one of the most accomplished units of the war but it's not touched on at all, which I fear renders their inclusion feeling a bit like it was just because they were an all black unit. But they fought and proved that they were among the very best and omitting that feels like a disservice to them, both as a unit and as pioneers in breaking the color barrier in the military.
this was not the show for them they were imo forced into this show for diversity points, they deserve their own show
"Like riding a bike" yup, pretty much.
You can find some videos of WW2 airmen jumping back to airplanes at ages 80-100 and they just have this look like they never stopped flying. They are home.
there 's a plane that crashed near my house it's still called the wood of the 7 sergeants that was a lancaster a flying fortress but an english one
You can now catch Anthony Boyle, who played Crosby, as the lead, John Wilkes Booth, in Apple TV's 'The Manhunt'.
That was the second time Rosie had been shot down as well
is that white horse a reference to the white horse the officer was riding in band of brother when that guy shot the German officer off the horse in episode 5 or 6?
You guys want to learn more about their history Apple Plus just released another documentary about the Bloody 100th.
You HAVE to watch the companion documentary "The Bloody Hundredth" You will be SHOCKED! It gives you more details about the guys in the series.
Rosie did say those phrases to the Soviets to make sure they realised he was american.
There is a part 10 with the real men just like at the end of Band of Brothers they talk about everything. It is a must watch imo. It is called The Bloody Hundredth its also on apple tv under documentary
I feel like you guys would love SAS: Rogue Heroes. It’s a show with a mostly true story focusing on a whole team of guys like Bucky.
That bit ahout the returned downed flyers not being allowed only applied to people fleeing through occupied countries resistance groups, so it didn't and couldnt have applied to Rosie or Buck. One was picked up by Russians the other found the American lines on his own
The liberation of stalag 7a wasnt as dramatic as shown. Us forces approaching the camp had been picking up escaped pows for days and knew a camp was in the area, so they had banned artillery and aggressive air operations. The p51 strafing the machine gun and the flag were real, but other than that the germans surrendered without much of a fight.
i think Rosie went on to become a lawyer and went to Nuremburg to prosecute at the trial.
Check out the Tuskegee Airmen and Red Tails, two great movies about the African American pilots.
41:21 thats an insult to barry keoghan haha
Rosie reminds me of Dick Winters from band of Brothers. Does anybody else see that?
Well, Robert Rosenthal was the “Dick Winters” of the 100th. He led them for the majority of the war, and led the largest bomb raid on Berlin.
Look who it is.. the stone in my shoe!🥹
I hope you guys will react to "Severance" too. It's one of the best shows on Apple TV+. And the second season is shooting right now.
Great show but honestly, disappointed they left out a lot. The Tuskegee Airmen deserved more airtime -- they weren't just an all black unit that broke the color barrier, they were INCREDIBLY skilled. Bomber units would request them, they had one of the best records of any unit in the war when it came to getting bombers home and the show never mentions it. Also, would've been fascinating to see what the bombers faced toward the end of the war: the Me262, the first jet in history which the Nazis developed too late to make a difference. But bomber crews were stunned by its speed. I know it's based on a memoir, but it would've been neat to show a bit more of what these crews faced. In some ways it feels like the bombing raids started to disappear towards the last half of the season and that's too bad. Not a huge complaint, just a lost opportunity to tell stories most don't know about.
I feel the show really went off the rails after the first few eps. The Tuskagees, the prison drama, the spy drama and of course the holocaust stuff. It’s a mess.
17:53 there's footage of some US cavalry 'releasing their horses' at the end of the war - there's footage of this. It's wild.
great reaction, now it's time to watch SHOGUN only 10 episodes. you will love it.
If you want something that tells more of the Tuskegee Airmen watch Red Tails or Miracle at St Anna’s
This was a solid series, but Band of Brothers set an INCREDIBLY high standard. This one didn’t quite get there. A solid B, behind The Pacific.
I was deeply disappointed by the lack of coverage of the Tuskegee Airmen. They didn’t get NEARLY enough story. Lord knows there’s plenty to portray there. Then again, I’ve always said the Airmen and the Buffalo Soldiers of WWII deserved their own series.
Highly entertaining, even if it did fall short.
And the 761st Tank Battalion, the 'Black Panthers' they lived up to their unit motto 'Come Out Fighting' History Channel did a feature on them this past year with Morgan Freeman as the narrator
FYI, in the description for this final episode which is 9......it states yall are giving reaction to the 8th episode. Unless I'm reading this wrong of course?v I enjoy your reactions since the GOT reactions which are classic...
I believe he was actually shot down twice!!! and returned to England each time..........Also it may be hard to believe but the Aircrews really werent trained in Parachute techniques, sort of "Jump out and pull the cord"
Drinking Game .. ( everytime she say "OMG" .. I Take A Shot of Tequila)
Tom Hanks put out a documentary: "The.Bloody.Hundredth" 2024
I beg u to watch the documentary that came out right after this aired it’s called the bloody hundredth and it’s also on apple TV it talks you through most of the things seen in the show and interviews with actual members
Easily the best, if not one of the best episodes of the series. Highly recommend watching the Bloody 100th Documentary (episode 10)
Hey guys, now that you have finished masters of the air, any chance you will watch a somewhat old movie called THE MEMPHIS BELLE. If you have not watched it already.
If war doesn't make you acknowledge, appreciate and respect humanity?
You're not human.
For all those who lost their humanity because they were forced into war?
Many never got the help needed, if they survived long enough to see the end of it...
Yall should react SHOGUN if you have enough time. It is phenomenal.
Such conflicts are always a horror show. Important to recognize that civilian casualties are always triple that of military,..in every war. Hell, civilian casualties for this conflict started dropping as early as 1930 with the Holodomor in Ukraine. A Soviet policy of eradicating populations with food confiscation killed nearly six million farmers in the Caucus. The things Lenin and Stalin did in Russia before and after that war made the Nazi's look like amateurs. The Soviets mastered the technique of making people disappear in remote work camps.
About the "pretty boys", I think the show made a ittle mistake not to explain it plainly at the very beginning: Buck and Bucky was seen by the other guys, by their own men like some kind of Hollywood stars. Crosby writes in his memoirs that they even talked like some cool characters from a cool film. Thus casting Austin Butler and Callum Turner for these roles was a very good decision.
About some other cast members (who are btw predominantly British and Irish actors, as usual):
Didn't Kenny remind you of someone famous? Because that was my first impression of the guy that he looks like Jude Law. Well, no wonder, because Raff Law, who plays Kenny is in fact Jude Law's son.
The real breakout star of the show is definitely Anthony Boyle who played Crosby. He is currently seen in another Apple TV+ production with historical topic, "Manhunt" abouth the assassination of Lincoln. Playing Crosby might have not given him enough opportunity to prove his talent but playing John Wilkes Booth definitely gives.
Also, I'm glad that I've learned the names of Elliot Warren (Capt. Douglass) and David Shields (Capt. Blakely).
The “pretty, cocky flyboys” being intentional with the two Bucks, only becomes an obvious choice when Rosie arrives as a replacement. Since, Rosie does not fit the Hollywood stereotypes of what a pilot should be.
I think what you say would have been apparent only if B&B too would have been played by (relatively) unknown actors, similar to Nate Mann (Rosie.). In that case it would have been more understandable that these stardom/lack of traditional star-qualities things root in the characters themselves.
But it was hard not to pay too much attention to Austin Butler's own star attitudes, his too-much-of-coolness way of talking at the beginning (also, the promotion of the series was build mostly around him) and lots of people, including me, were cautions/suspicious, asking do we really need this in this show?
That's why I think it would have been useful at the beginning to stress out a bit more clearly that Butler was cast for Buck's role intentionaly because the character himself was seen by the other guys as kind of Mr Hollywood.
Don't forget that another actor in the series was Rosies Grandson
@@anitapetho - Austin Butler was cast, because no one else wanted to play Cleven. The role sucked, and Butler was completely miscast. Callum Turner is not giving a very good performance either, especially towards the end.
Part of the reason Rosie had an unknown actor, was due to him being a cultural-conscious casting. Nate Mann is of Jewish descent and heritage. The character is almost very much not a flyboy. Rosie is a Jewish lawyer who has a personal connection to the war effort. There is nothing glamorous about why he volunteered after Pearl Harbor. He was not looking to have fun, unlike his predecessors.
@@ChienaAvtzon „Rosie had an unknown actor, was due to him being a cultural-conscious casting”
Please, mansplain me more about why tv shows have to cast specifically unknown actors for cultural-conscious reasons.
Anyway. The funny thing is that since I happened to mention something about Austin Butler in a positive context (never mind that I also mentioned that I was also suspicious about his too hollywoodish presence in this series, but AFTER I have READ Donald L Miller’s book quoting Crosby’s memoirs about how in his eyes B&B looked and talked like movie stars, I was like, ok, then the casting might make sence; but obviously, you can’t mansplain Crosby for his opinion so you turned towards me) , you think that we are kind of enemies in a childish unmature war about who is who’s favourite character.
I wrote my first comment because Nikki mentioned that at the beginnig the show had pretty-boy-ish elements/moments, and I thought I share MY OPINION (according what I’ve read in one of the source materials of the show) about this particular notion.
But because you’re obviously obsessed with the unlikely unglamorous war-hero character type of Rosenthal (I suppose you’re US citizen and he might be your real life hero too, which is cool, I unfortunately too Central-European, therefore too cynical to feel towards soldiers, so-called war heroes, that way), you instantly started misinterpreting my comment in a way, that I must be a fan of the opposite type of characters, and chastise me for this. (Just for the record in my comment I used the phrase „I think” several times, meanwhile you agressively show off that your point of view/opinion is the only valid one.)
This must be the reason why you so agressively try to explain me why the real-life Rosenthal (have I mentioned that I read the book, so you don’t have to introduce him to me,) was a great person and his fictionalized version is a great character. I never said that he is not. In contrary, his storyline is which I liked to follow the most and even wanted more.
Also, if you wouldn’t have such an unfortunate brainfog just by reading Austin Butlers name , you might have noticed that I especially have a soft spot for (relatively) unknown actors. (Rther for British and kess for Americans) and I mentioned some of them. (As a cultural journalist and critic for several decades, I have always loved to write about new talents, novelist, poets, also actors etc, who are rarely mentioned in other articles)) You are totally on the wrong path misinterpreting my comment that waythat I might despise Nate Mann (btw, he was not unknown for me becaus I remembered him very well playing the teenage Ray Donovan) for being unknown, or dislike the character played by him for the same reason. That's just an incredibly childish way of thinking. Therefore it’s totally unnecesarry to be so agressive while discribing why you like Rosie’s character.
Especially because I like him too.
But it doesn’t mean that I don’t have the right to have positive opinion about the casting of other actors, even those actors who you obviously don’t like.
Did I miss where they show what happened to Meatball? I need dog closure.
The replacements got rid of him.
The great escape march 25, 1944... 76 soldiers
Now that you are done with the serie, you really have to watch the movies "Memphis Belle" and "The Tuskegee Airmen"
You guys would LOVE Man in the High Castle. It’s so good and intriguing and crazy. It’s an alternate world where Germany and Japan win WWII. Time travel and alternate worlds are brought into the mix as well. It’s too much to explain I just know you guys would love it judging by what you guys watch! 🫶🏼
PLEASE CHECK OUT FARGO THE TV SHOW. ITS SO GOOD
IT HAS A CHARACTER AS GOOD AS HESIENBERG

Road House 2024 reactions 😢❤
They made up way too much bullsh*t that never happened. Episodes 7,8 and 9 should have been called "Masters of Missed Opportunities."

When did Crosby get to go see his wife? Did i miss something
The stories of these pilots needs to be told....and told in a much better way than this series Masters Of The Air. The combat scenes were incredible. The acting was superb. But the writing and directing were shortsighted. This series needed to be much longer. At least 2 years rather than 9 weeks. They rushed through this and have made this series and the telling of their story seem trivial.
For me it was very surficosl, great sction skenes but I felt there were only superficial, juts bacsuse yhry werevtuere ...just my opinion..
Binge peaky blinders please 🙏 then shogun
