Band of Brothers: Carentan - Reactions and Icons (52)

[inhonoredglory]

The cinematography amazes me yet again. The scene introducing Blithe is truly amazing - the camera is above him, then smoothly curves down to his side and settles into normal position at eye level. Breathtaking! Continuing along this character, Albert Blithe is really developed in this episode. He is so innocent and childlike - his face, a picture

Thanks! I checked out your blog, and it's beautiful! I might comment on a few of your interesting reviews. :D LOL, Wordpress can be a problem on my browser at times. I actually didn't know it wasn't known as much, though most of the people I know have blogger as well.

The retro look is super indeed. I use my blog for much the same - books, movies, etc - anything I could write something big on.

LOL, that's a neat reason to join! I got in because my sis and I have a blog http://witnessingGod.wordpress and I wanted to snatch "inhonoredglory" before someone took it. XD

Thank you. :) I love the username's allusion, too. ^^

Yes, I read Nazi Officer's and I agree, it was truly amazing. Thanks for the recommendation again! I'll definitely add that to my list of books to get. I've not heard of Lilac Tree. Speaking of those kinds of books, have you heard of The Zookeeper's Wife? I wasn't sure if it was good or not.

No, I haven't heard or read Tricia Goyer. Zion Covenant was my first WWII fiction, so I'm open to suggestions. Thanks again! I'd love to read your first WWII fiction!

Elie Wiesel's Night looks very very interesting and stark. I definitely want to get to it. The Zookeeper's Wife is actually a nonfiction on some people's experiences in Nazi Germany.

Interesting story you tell, too. I'm new to WWII fiction as well (just had that one!) and Christian fiction in general. I'd only read Agatha Christie and other mystery writers before, plus Nancy Drew and Trixie Belden and Three Investigators, etc.

Ah, yes, I've seen Reminisce in the library occasionally. I should definitely check out a copy. I love anything olden-day. My first love was its old fashions; now it's its old morals and character! I mostly don't go for magazines, but thinking about it, they are pretty good places to pop in for a story or something without devoting a lot of time. "As You Were" has such a double meaning! XD I'll see if I can find it online, too. Thanks for pointing this one out!

Well, you've certainly convinced me to check it out! I love books that make a deep impression and have so much meaning. No, I've not seen Clary's speech. I know he made a book (wishlisted it). What's the documentary called, or where can I find his speech?

Wow, so that's how you got into history! I might have seen that film a long time ago. But I love talking about how we got into it. :) Mine was a research paper of the devloution of clothing my first year of high school. I really loved Victorian outfits and 50s clothes. Then Hogan's Heroes made me want to investigate WWII, and that's where I learned how inspiring, sobering, and meaningful history can be. So we both have TV and movies to thank for it!

re: old magazines. Wow, a post-WWII Life. What a find! LOL, James Darren photos. That's reason enough to get something! I once got a kid Sherlock Holmes book because of the lovely paintings inside it - one of them I could imagine that the girl was me with Holmes and Watson. *guilty* > ... )

Thanks for the link to Clary's story. I'll definitely save and watch it. :) I'd love to hear his story.

A true story? Wow, I really love to see that now. I don't mind sad endings, as it often means more depth and meaning in the film in general. Thanks again for the rec. :)

Ah, thanks for the little summary! I love good movie music, so I'm looking forward to it. :) LOL, old movies did have a way of mixing nationalities. :D Again, thanks!
