If you compare modern war movies like Dunkirk with old movies like Saving Private Ryan, the old days are better. This is also true in dramas. For example, Band of Brothers.

Are war themed films getting harder and harder to come out in the future because of money and ideological problems?

대규모 전쟁영화를 제작하는데는 엄청난 금액이 요구된다. 또한 새로운 전쟁영화가 만들어지기 위해서는 또다른 전쟁이 필요한데 2차대전 이후로 우리는 대규모의 전쟁을 겪지 않고 있다. 같은 소재를 반복하기 때문에 지루해진다.

In addition, another war is needed to make a new war movie, but since World War II, we have not gone through a large-scale war. It becomes boring because the same material is repeated.[/font]

Nope, it's just not exciting right now.

War movies are difficult to make because good stories are ignored in favor of stuff that follows an agenda. At the same time, modern directors can't make a proper war film without screwing things up.

I'm also personally sick of these Germans Bad Everyone Else Good type movies. Either show the Germans as humans and as good guys, or start making movies about how the Allies intentionally committed war crimes by saturation bombing civilian areas (ignoring the industrial ones), or the Soviet Army raping female civilians (including kids), torturing people to death, and all of their mass murder of civilians.

I don't think you can ever show the Germans as "good guys" but i get your point, also along those lines Platoon did an ok/good job at showing some horrors of the American side but in Vietnam, I feel like there is another movie im missing that does that as well but then again not anything modern which is a shame.

>I don't think you can ever show the Germans as "good guys"
I think you can. The Germans were autistic af about acting with honor during war, whereas we were led to follow the British way of war, which is win at all costs and pretend we were honorable.

When the Germans captured US and Allied troops, they treated them nearly as brothers, much to the surprise of the Allies. When Americans captured German troops, we either shot them, or beat them. We also had a nasty habit of crushing German troops' testicles, to the point of them needing to be amputated, during interrogations. They also had to amputate other parts, due to the intensity of the beatings.

We firebombed Dresden, a city with zero military value, had no military garrison, had no factories making military equipment, filled with civilians, and was one of the Hanseatic cities that was considered the cultural and artistic capital of Germany. So why did we firebomb it? Was there honor in bombing something that didn't contribute to the German war effort?

This is why shit like Saving Private Ryan is shit.
