This film tells the story behind the battle of Arnhem in September 1944, and the events surrounding it. "Operation Market Garden" was supposed to shorten the
Second World War by several months, and open up several routes by which the
Allies could move into Germany. The mission was a total failure, and resulted in the deaths of several thousand soldiers.
The film is well-made, and features an all-star cast. There are some terrific performances from Dirk Bogarde, Sean Connery, Gene Hackman and Ryan
O'Neal, as well as others like Anthony Hopkins, James Caan and Robert
Redford. You get a feel of just what went wrong, and the reservations of senior officers, who thought the task amounted to a suicide mission. It turned out to be so.
It's a long film but worth watching, in particular it highlights the tenacity and courage of the British Paras, who held out at Arnhem for several days. This
resulted in the Germans nicknaming them "The Red Devils" after their heroic
effort. It's well worth the watch.

This film is unique in that it has hardly any dialogue in it at all, yet it makes for a gripping film. It follows a routine patrol of British paratroopers in Northern Ireland. The great thing about this is that there is no musical score, no special effects, thus adding to the realism of life as a British soldier in Northern Ireland during the Troubles. The Parachute Regiment had a very rough ride there, starting with Bloody Sunday in 1972, when 13 civilians were gunned down by soldiers from the Paras' 1st Battalion. Thus they became a sought after target for the IRA. This film shows a patrol in South Armagh, more commonly known as "Bandit Country". You can't help but feel for the lads as they patrol the countryside. When they engage in a shoot-out with terrorists, the gunfight has no fancy effects with it, so you get some idea of how it was. When they lose a soldier, there is no Oscar nominated crying or wailing, just what you would expect from battle hardened soldiers trying to come to terms with a loss. If you want to see how life was really like in the British Army in Northern Ireland, watch this film.
