Movies like that would be worth watching if left a sense of reality with the viewer. As a woman, I find it highly unlikely for soldiers and officer in the movie to display emotional weakness during wartimes. Especially as it's our granparents' generation (my grandpa fought during WW2). This generation was unlikely to show a lot of emotion, even towards immediate relatives such as btothers, sons, etc. This was the mentality of those Times. Men should not display emotions or weakness at any time. Otherwise, the movie reminder me somewhat of The War Horse, another case in Point.
