It’s “War Movies” Week! Steven Spielberg’s Saving Private Ryan goes up against Ridley Scott’s Black Hawk Down.
This week Jeff, Nate, and Steve discuss two movies about soldiers engaged in military combat, though at very different times in our country’s history. To inform our conversation, this episode includes a special interview with Jeff’s cousin, Karsten Haake, an Iraq War combat veteran, West Point graduate, and black hawk helicopter pilot.
Which movie better depicts the experience of being a soldier? Which director works better with ensemble casts? And ultimately, which movie has more to say about America’s purpose on the world stage?
