A recent trend in movie-making takes another look at standard genres and revises

their supposed agendas. Clint Eastwood’s UNFORGIVEN showed us a Western whose hero was a gun-toting murderer. Steven Spielberg made perhaps the finest war movie ever in SAVING PRIVATE RYAN. My point is that RYAN has been advertised not as a war Doctor Who series 5 dvdmovie, but an "anti-war" movie. Taking a look at John Wayne’s efforts in SANDS OF IWO JIMA, I cannot see how he or the film praises war. I cannot see, especially with the anti-climatic ending, how this narrative uses war for the mindless support of political causes.

I would recommend this John Wayne NCIS Season dvdfilm to anyone. And if you are watching with Wayne first-timers, withhold your comments about this grand old actor, and let them form their own opinions. The man is impressiveLost Complete Series dvd enough to leave his mark on many generations.
