HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY 'MURICA!

Guys,

––First, let me start out by saying “Unbroken” is NOT a war movie,….at least like you normally think of one.
----It IS a very powerful, inspirational movie that is extremely well done. It also has a enough WW2 action/scenes to be “interesting” to a WW2 buff. The CGI as well as the physical props were well done. I only noticed one inacuracy,…when returning to America at the end of the war there was a transport aircraft that still had the early ww2 red dot in the star and red/white rudder stripes. I guess it might have been possible but I doubt it. Anyway, it was hardly noticable (except to a historian) and didn’t detract from the movie at all. All summed up, a great movie that’s well written, acted, with great cinematography.

----My opinion,…If you want to see a well done INSPIRATIONAL movie set in the WW2 era, this is a GREAT ONE!

I accept…terms are set. I slap you with a dead fish!

I burn down the white house

Brits already did that

And British North America.

What?? British North America burned the White House?

With Britain, yes.

Since Canada was a British territory, this was a british act

It was somewhat a separate colony

Canada wasn’t given any autonomy until July 1, 1867, which is what Canada Day celebrates. The Burning of the White House took place during the War of 1812 in 1814.

I never said Canada, I said British North America.

That was very funny.  :-)

@Yanny:

Funny thing is, The Declaration was signed on July 2nd. John Adams said something along the lines of “The people will celebrate July 2nd with pomp and fireworks”.

Oh well, it was a good July 4th. Just wish people would stop playing that damn Lynard Skynard Song “Red White and Blue”, one of the worst songs I’ve ever heard played so much.

@Janus1:

no yanny, it was signed on August 2nd

Here are the facts Jacks-

July 2 – Congress declares independence as the British fleet and army arrive at New York.

July 4 – Congress adopts the Declaration of Independence in the morning of a bright, sunny, but cool Philadelphia day. John Dunlap prints the Declaration of Independence. These prints are now called “Dunlap Broadsides.” Twenty-four copies are known to exist, two of which are in the Library of Congress. One of these was Washington’s personal copy.

August 2 – Delegates begin to sign engrossed copy of the Declaration of Independence.

Another sunny day. 8)

@TG:

Haha, good historical joke (is it alright if I call it that) you go there! :wink:

But little tidbit about Hitler’s chauffer having to drive backwards has more to do about his Eagle’s Nest in Obersalzberg. Apparently Hitler was so afraid of heights on his way to the mountain hideaway that he forced his chauffer to drive backwards on their way up!

Drugs does that to you!
