The Dirty Movie

A couple ideas occurred to me while watching The Dirty Dozen tonight. It's a thought provoking film.

Firstly, I agree with whomever posted it that it's an educational flick. If you ever need to know how to do away with a whole bunch of high ranking Nazi officers in a villa at night, with twelve or so guys, this will teach you. Hint: You have to trap them all in the basement and have lots of gasoline and grenades with you.

As I was watching the black guy sneaking down the corridor, I thought they should have dressed him in an SS uniform to disguise him better. Maybe they didn't have enough to go around.

When the guitar player was singing that Hawaiian song, I wasn't sure it was really a 1940's song.

Here's a serious thought. When Lord Ha Ha, the infamous Nazi propagandist who broadcast in English to the allied troops, was overheard in one scene, I realized that often people are more attracted to adversarial opinions. Maybe they're more interesting. (And it explains why Pappy Boyington listened to Tokyo Rose all the time.)
