Fortress On A Hill (foh) Podcast

ClandesTime host Tom Secker joins Henri to discuss the 1998 World War 2 film, “Saving Private Ryan.”  We spend ample time discussing that “horrific” opening scene and whether it’s as honest as Steven Spielberg would like it to be, as well as Spielberg’s tendency to sanitize and simplify so much of the combat.  We cover the actual history of that section of Omaha beach, as well as the true story of the four brothers who were the inspiration for the film’s plot.  Finally, we tackle the film’s religious themes and how this film serves WW2 cultural myths much more so than any factual account of WW2.Main website: https://www.fortressonahill.comLet me guess. You’re enjoying the show so much, you’d like to leave us a review?! https://lovethepodcast.com/fortressonahillEmail us at [email protected] out our online store on Spreadshirt.com. T-shirts, cell phone covers, mugs, etc.: https://bit.ly/3qD63MWNot a contributor on Patreon?
