Please send us a link and details of where to watch the movieJust watched "Greyhound" - a new movie about the atlantic convoy 1942. Superb. Must see.
Yes... I saw it myself just a few days ago...... Only just a very few historical errors. Some for dramatic reasons, some for screenplay reasons, and at least one for CGI reasons that I could pick up. I won't spoil it by pointing out the errors unless people ask......Superb. Must see.
Apple TV+ is the only place you can see it (at least legally).... LOLPlease send us a link and details of where to watch the movie
I am nearly in my mid 60's and feel young as well!!!I was young, back in mid 60's
Hanks is credited with script-which is brilliant. Based on C S Forester book. This was the author of the "Hornblower" series of novels- adventure stories about a naval officer at the time of the Napoleonic wars. I loved them as an older child and reread them some years ago. Fantastic for all especially those interested in making ships of this period. Are available as audio books, so as not to reduce actual building time.I wasn't aware this film existed, so was surprised to find it. Not the usual gung-ho American tripe. Hanks plays an almost retired Captain in command of his first ship after a lifetime of service. This is his first convoy and he's on his feet the whole time and he remarkably doesn't put a foot wrong (pardon the pun). Apart from Hanks usual brilliant acting, the big revelation was the CGI. Now they can do the ship at sea thing convincingly, there's a lot of historical maritime subjects which could be dramatised. Top of my wish list would have to include a good movie about the Battle of Jutland (for obvious reasons, long neglected).
I would love to see a movie about Jutland as well!!!! Talk about a battle!!Top of my wish list would have to include a good movie about the Battle of Jutland (for obvious reasons, long neglected).
Yes, it wasn't just the battle. There was a substantial back story to the event. A good script would find it difficult to be dispassionate about the key characters involved. To this day, historians are scratching each others eyes out. So much material to ad excitement and intrigue. To my mind, you'd find more than enough to justify the project.I would love to see a movie about Jutland as well!!!! Talk about a battle!!
Perhaps a series instead of just a movie!!! I do think I recall seeing an old documentary on it somewhere.So much material to ad excitement and intrigue.
Now you're talking! Unfortunately, the use of cine-cameras was in it's infancy at the time, so documentary film is almost none existent and very poor by the standards we are used to now. I think I read there were only three or four ordinary cameras on the British ships, and the few images I've seen published are no better than a bad drawing.Perhaps a series instead of just a movie!!! I do think I recall seeing an old documentary on it somewhere.

Keep in mind that Europe at the beginning of the XXth century was much less stable than what the world is now. Borders changed all the time. War was a regular and quite expected thing to happen once in a while, albeit not on that scale.I've never got my head around how the Kaiser was able to abdicate and live the rest of his life undisturbed in Holland. On that basis, Hitler could have hopped over the border into Switzerland at the end of his reign of terror. Like that was going to happen? (There's a good conspiracy novel in the making).
