(Movies and TV shows)

ALL of them....well, to be honest...most of them.

There are some great examples out there...like Band of Brothers

The real shows would just be boring, with some adrenaline rushes, then back to boring....

Band of brothers I will capt Dale Dye did excellent at being an technical adviser even though he served in the marines also you can tell he loves the history of the and wanted to be accurate

Band of Brothers...lol.

The book was written by Stephen Ambrose, so take the "facts" with a grain of salt.

 

[Kraut783]

Yeah, I mention Band of Brothers as being realistic...equipment, tactics and such....story accuracy...well...

Warfare has been the best I've seen this year, not perfect but as close as a couple hour movie can be without losing an audience.

Warfare was a good watch this year. Not perfect but good enough without losing a regular audience.

So may I ask thi would say Brian? One of the best movies that I've seen would be American Sniper on the realistic scale. What do you feel? How realistic do you feel it was?

 

[Kraut783]

Nope...

For being an aspiring author, your research abilities and grasp of written language are both pretty big barriers to overcome.

Most come with a " based on actual events" message and likely don't look much like what actually happened.
