Mavrik Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 Rescue Dawn with christian bayle. horrendous. AVOID. why didn't i ask the old man's advice... ugh. My dad who's a Vietnam vet ripped that movie to shreds a while back. Said that much of the story is exaggerating and that many of the people involved originally have stated that the events that took place in the movie didn't actually happen that way. The film depicts 6 prisoners in the camp, while in real life there were 7. Herzog says that he found the scripting to be difficult with seven characters, and that six was a more manageable number.[2] All the guards in the camp were based directly on men from Dieter Dengler's story except for 'Walkie Talkie' who is a fictional creation of the director. Jerry DeBruin, brother of Gene DeBruin (portrayed by Jeremy Davies) has created a website critical of Herzog and the film, claiming that several characters and events have been falsely portrayed.[4] On the same website, Pisidhi Indradat, the other survivor of the group, has also stated that the film contains inaccuracies. The website claims that during his imprisonment, DeBruin taught his cellmates English, shared his food, and even returned after escaping to help an injured cell mate. In the movie, Dengler formulates the entire escape plan along with uncuffing the handcuffs with the nail. According to Jerry DeBruin, the prisoners waited for two weeks before telling him of the plan, which had been devised before his arrival.[4] Herzog acknowledged that DeBruin acted heroically during his imprisonment, refusing to leave while some sick prisoners remained, but Herzog was unaware of this fact until after the film had been completed. Herzog states that this narrative aspect probably would have been included had he learned it earlier.[1] In real life, Dieter Dengler spoke English with a strong German accent. For this movie, Bale (who himself normally speaks English with a London or ****ney accent) altered his accent.[5] Dieter Dengler was captured not once but twice in real life. The scene where he was captured while drinking from a river is based on his second capture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thai Jet Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 Too late JGB but thanks anyway. I watched it as a Netflick several weeks ago. I usually will NOT watch movies based on Nam or SE Asian themes but I made an exception since I do like Christian Bale. Big mistake as the movie was a major let down.

SpacemanSpiff_NF Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 Worst movie ever is Jeepers Creepers. I actually wouldn't let people rent it when I worked at Hollywood Video. I would ask "Have you seen this movie?" "Good, turn around and go find something else, I've saving you $4 and 2 hours of your life." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
