Remembering Memorial Day Through Movies
Yesterday was Memorial Day, and I’m still remembering.
My dad was in World War II, and I know many of you have had dads in other conflicts, including the Korean and Vietnam wars, as well as in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Of course, Memorial Day is about honoring the men and women who gave their lives fighting for their country. My dad survived the war, even though his experiences in a German POW camp thrilled me two decades later as a kid and scared the hell out of me as a grownup.
I also think of dad on Veterans Day in November, but lately have been reminiscing about him on Memorial Day as well. Maybe because it’s been 12 years since he’s been gone now.
Like many boys growing up, war was glamorous. John Wayne and G.I. Joe. I think part of that came from the fact that veterans who came home from WWII and Korea threw themselves into new lives, with families, and didn’t talk much about the war.
I always knew war as about death and injuries, of course. But the veracity of war didn’t really hit me and a lot of others until war movies become more realistic. It’s hard to sit through The Longest Day ’s emotionally draining realism.
In honor of my dad, who went through war, and all of the men and women who died in U.S. conflicts, I want to list four war movies that impacted me. These are all more than simply big-screen entertainment. They were game-changers in their time, forcing those who watched them—especially those who’ve never experienced war—to gain a deeper understanding of shared sacrifices.
Here are the movies, in chronological order:
Apocalypse Now is a movie that gets better with age. Since the plot centers of the killing of gone-native Col. Kurtz, there isn’t much here about the honor and sacrifice of fighting for your country. At one point, the character Chef is incredulous when discovering his mission: “What? Oh, that's typical! … I'm short, and we gotta go up there so you can kill one of our own guys? … I thought you were going in there to blow up a bridge, or some (expletive) railroad tracks or something.”
This movie threw light on how crazy and misguided the Vietnam War was—in spite of its original intentions—with its raw language, realistic locales and senseless deaths.
Das Boot absolutely has to be seen in its original form, in German with English subtitles, to appreciate it fully.

When my mother was breathing oxygen through a tube, she'd take out the tube, turn off the oxygen, and light up. I avoid smokers. It isn't allowed in our house. When I see someone smoking, it feels like I'm watching them bleed themselves,
Herzog's genius was actually making viewers feel they were in a metal tube, to feel helplessness and a tightening in the chest as yet another depth charge floated silently down to its target. Platoon (1986): This Oscar-winning movie from Oliver Stone

Android Market Movie Rentals Replace iTunes, via YouTube - LouisGray
The promise of the Android Market offering is to play these movies right in your Web browser, on any of your Google account-enabled devices. There's no need to download the movie (as iTunes does), but you instead start streaming after an extremely minimal amount of buffering, at either 320p or 480p. Purchases are sent to the account you have registered with Google Checkout, and the item shows in your Android Market purchase history. All straight forward. In the last two days, I pulled down Adam Sandler's romantic comedy "Just Go With It" and Vince Vaughn's "The Dilemma". Both $3.99, I can play these videos on the Web (and even Google TV's Chrome App) and expand to full screen. In our on demand world, the experience is on par with Apple TV or Netflix Instant, and your service preference depends on the device you're using or the title you want. Using the Android Market interface is actually just a front end for YouTube's full-length feature movie rentals ( see all of them here ), including films like The Hangover, Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows, The King's Speech, Knocked Up and many others. It's yet another example of Google trying to push to the browser what traditionally has been handled with desktop client software.
