War Movies Parents Guide Film Quiz 11

It’s been such a long time since the last war movie film quiz. A year? Almost. At the time I had discovered the Parents Content Advisory Guide on IMDb which I still find hilarious.

Below you can read the Parents Content Advisory Guide of a very famous war movie. Can you guess which one it is? (Just in case – the picture is taken from The Fallen and not from the movie we are looking for.)

Sex & Nudity

A short scene involves soldiers being given a talk on how to avoid sexual disease while off duty. The dialogue is not particularly explicit, making reference to ‘horizontal refreshment’. A diagram of a male sexual organ is shown very briefly (intended for humorous effect).

Off duty soldiers in a bar look at black & white images of female nudity – seen only very briefly. The same soldiers then visit a brothel; it is implied that they will have sexual intercourse (none is shown). One character questions the morality of their actions.

A number of soldiers are seen (from behind) running naked into the sea; underwater scenes show the soldiers swimming naked in murky waters while being bombarded with shrapnel.

Violence & Gore

There are a number of battle scenes towards the end of the film. A large number of soldiers are killed or wounded, although this is not shown in a graphic way. There is little by way of explicit gore; a number of relatively minor flesh wounds are shown with a little blood visible at times.

Profanity

There is some mild swearing during the course of the film but not a great deal; bad language is generally kept to a minimum. There are no ‘f’ words.

Alcohol/Drugs/Smoking

There are several scenes involving the drinking of alcohol. A number of soldiers smoke cigarettes in the trenches.

Frightening/Intense Scenes

Some scenes of trench warfare are tense and emotionally charged.

Did you get it? No? Here is the solution.

WWII War Movie Quotes Film Quiz 10

It has been a while since I posted the last Movie Quotes Quiz and as far as I remember I haven’t done a WWII one. I did one on Holocaust movies, but not on combat ones.

I will not post the list of movies that are quoted or it might be too easy.

Off we go…

[the troop stops before a memorial]
“Would you look at how fast they put the names of all our guys who got killed? ”
“ That’s a World War One memorial.”
“But the name’s are the same.”
“They always are.”

Solution 1

[about his wound]”It hurts… Don’t pick me up anymore.”
“Listen Bob, if I leave you, ain’t nobody gonna find you. You’re gonna die out here.”
“Just sit here for a bit.”
[after a pause]
“I AM dying.”
“[evasively] We can’t sit here.”

Solution 2

[voice over]” We were a family. How’d it break up and come apart, so that now we’re turned against each other? Each standing in the other’s light. How’d we lose that good that was given us? Let it slip away. Scattered it, careless. What’s keepin’ us from reaching out, touching the glory?”

Solution 3

“What will we do when we have lost the war?”
“Prepare for the next one.”

Solution 4

“Did you hear what Tom did this morning?”
“No.”
“He went to see old Nickelby, and asked him if they gave out compassionate leave if there’s been a death in the family. So Nickelby said, “Oh, yeah, yeah, depending on the circumstances.” And Tom said, “Well, there hasn’t been a death in my family yet, but there’s going to be one very soon, and I request leave to go home and console my parents.””

Solution 5

“I got a bad feeling about this one.”
“When was the last time you felt good about anything?”

Solution 6

“You were an accountant in Montreal?”
“Yes, sir. Uh, not really an accountant, sir. That is, I didn’t have my charter.”
“Exactly what did you do?”
“Well, sir, I just checked columns and columns of figures which three or four people had checked before me, and then there were other people who checked them after I had checked them.”
“Sounds a frightful bore.”
“ Sir, it was a frightful bore.”

Solution 7

“How many hours in Spits?”
“Ten and a half, sir.”
“ Let’s make it *eleven*, before *Jerry* has you for *breakfast!*”
“Spring chicken to shitehawk in one easy lesson.”
[at low volume, almost whispering, after xxx and xxx leave the building for their aircraft]
“daka!-daka!-daka!-daka!-daka!-daka!-daka!-daka!”

Solution 8

“How the hell do they expect us to keep schedule on a road like this?”
“ You don’t know the worst. This bit we’re on now?”
“Yes?”
“It’s the wide part.”
